Game Day Round 5: ANZAC DAY - Collingwood v Essendon, April 25th, 3.20PM - MCG

[Tassieboy]

Daniher has been pathetic again. His inability to mark and 4 soft frees has been a killer.

When teams lock it inside their forward half we have no answer. Against Richmond and at times Geelong last year were prime examples. It is excruciating.

I’m sick of our turnovers. Whenever teams put on pressure our skills are horrific. Collingwood are the same but we’ve failed to put on much pressure.

They look way off the pace once again on Anzac Day. Lucky to be 17 points down.

Saad and Smith are running their guts out.

 

[daffo]

Are we fit enough?

Seem to ask the same question every year.

Saad and Smith have run and they are new.

2 fit blokes on the bench doest that

 

[table tennis]

Yeah exactly. Good for nothing no-good injured player! Why someone might say Fridge is just as bad.

Green isn't the problem today.

Gave no effort in chasing then limps off injured.

No forward pressure has been a huge issue. And what else is he in the team to do?

 

[MiguelM]

Green woefull.

Need more from Stewart, Mcgrath, Parish etc.

Again, we have to come from behind.

 

[abers47]

Ive seen guelfi down back a little bit. The other 2 changes need to happen. Were far too static all across so far.

Guelfi has been one positive today!

 

[Old Stuckup]

Go back and watch the Port game. Done? Now watch the first half of this train wreck.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

So we have Green,Begley done for the day and Walla on 1 leg.

Yeah cant see us winning all have been doing is ****ing chasing.

 

[Old Stuckup]

Green woefull.

Need more from Stewart, Mcgrath, Parish etc.

Again, we have to come from behind.

Are you kidding? Parish has been one of our best!

 

[eDPS]

Also we would be ****ed without Goddard and Saad going of that quarter.

 

[abers47]

Green woefull.

Need more from Stewart, Mcgrath, Parish etc.

Again, we have to come from behind.

Worst game I’ve seen from McGrath

 

[TheGreatBarryB]

At least we will be fresh for the Melbourne game. Certainly not running today.

Not with 2 men down already. We look slow already, going to be very hard to keep going with limited bench

 

[Tassieboy]

Oh, and can we pension Baguley off? Good battler but his time has come.

And can our forwards lead up at the contest instead of motioning for a long bomb

 

[jmoo wan]

hey VelvetSledge if you have no one to rant for the Melbourne game - let me know. i’ve got a good one brewing after this shit

 

[CBombers17]

2 fit blokes on the bench doest that

Makes Saad and Smith fitter than the rest of the team?

 

[MarkG]

Why is this side so inconsisant ******* sick of it

We are consistently losing if the opposition is able to control the ball. They play keepings off and we bust our guts chasing them and are stuffed by half time.

We look like a very average team. Forget the finals aspirations.

2?

 

[MertF1]

Our FB page said we are 2 down on rotations. Who's the second one after Begley?

 

[Laverde2Smack]

I think we've brought too many players into the match that are underdone or under an injury cloud

Who?

Daniher needs to lead, has the speed. Too many dumb kicks to Tippa as a contested mark

 

[Stopher]

Why do I spend so much effort and time on this club?

Mate, if you want easy watching, just become a Liverpool supporter!

Hang on...

 

[ant555]

Seriously dumb players. Too many hunting the ball not enough staying of the contest in the secondary zone.
Daniher can’t mark.
Heppell can not hit an Essendon player.
Once again defence is hopeless.
Press is getting too far up the ground.

Another team full of talent that's going to go to waste Im afraid

 

[doug85]

Are you kidding? Parish has been one of our best!

His disposal has been average at best. Kicking into the 50 especially.

 

[Barry Roundhouse]

Putrid. Heard we are down two rotations... Who are they?

We are lucky to.be as close as we are..

 

[adsla69k]

I know we are down 2 players but we lack any decent spread. We are always second to the ball. We are always out numbered in our forward line due to lack of running. Our mids have done a decent job at times but our forwardline entries have been woeful.

Liking Parish, Heppel, Zaha, Zack and Jerrets first quarter.
