Toast Round 6 = Collingwood 90-77 Essendon

[jmac70]

we all did!!!

How good was that last quarter?
The Ponsford was rocking!

 

[JuniorB]

Will be watching that last quarter on repeat for the rest of the week!!

Me too!!

 

[Jafo]

To be assessed for a potential eye injury apparently.

Fingers crossed for him

 

[Go Woods]

Sitting there watching us, particularly in that 3rd quarter, you wouldn't have imagined that last quarter blitz. Then again we are the comeback kings, so shouldn't have doubted us to blow Essendoom away in 30 mins of footy.....absolutely brilliant!!!....

The day in totality was brilliant, with beautiful weather, fantastic pre game ceremony, with the national anthems of both Aus and NZ sung brilliantly, had goosebumps....

Then to see that quality of game, particularly in the second half, was a fantastic way to honour the day for all those who have and are currently serving. The icing on the cake for me was the Moore speech after the game. To have this fantastic athlete and person captaining our club, you couldn't be prouder.

Naicos getting the medal, the legend continues. He broke the game apart with his two last quarter goals. I think he may just win everything this year, in his 2nd year!!

Shoutout to Billy Frampton, thank god we have Billy. He has been a revelation, in any position he plays. Whether its down back, ruck and showed today he can also play forward. He has been a terrific addition. Hope Kane Cornes gives him an apology during the week.....

[Jafo]

You know it

 

[Looney]

He was cooked was never making that GF side. Sat on the bench for much of the QF draw and was lucky to get a couple of goals.

Nah he had issues with Leigh Matthews. Leigh just didn't like him. I don't know what the issue was.

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

I thought after last season that our fitness team was our secret weapon.

I saw some footage that the superstar Jen posted from last pre season….the stuff the players were doing just blew my mind.

Nothing we did was the same as previous years….proof is there that it works.

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Fly said pre-game that they were aiming for Krueger to play 60% game time.

I said pregame when I heard Kelly was sub that Kreuger was the planned player to sub out

 

[Looney]

Fingers crossed for him

Will we see Pendles with the Mason Cox goggles?

 

[Doc1763]

I just want to acknowledge the following players who have come into the side as the injury toll increased over the past few weeks;

Markov, Frampton, Ruscoe, Kruger & Kelly.

These bloke don't stand up & play their role, we don't win.

But apparently, we don't have depth - like hell we don't!!!

 

[PieBeast]

First game back for Krueger after he played just one vfl game and then fell sick. Played his role crashing and bashing, clearly his skills were rusty. I suspect he was always earmarked to be the player subbed out given his lack of match fitness.

Utter garbage, I don't recall anyone producing worst performance than Kreuger in yonks.

He was subbed out a minute after I yelled out "delist right ****en now"

Watching a comeback kings blitz!!

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

Your failure to accept that Ruscoe performed well ahead of expectations, clearly vindicates the view that only perfection would have sufficed.
Simple really.

Thought ruscoe was great.
Everyone loses contests.
But he won more than he lost and his disposal was good.

If he’s the 26-28 player coming in…..we’re in good shape.

Here is a big question…..does he keep his place over IQ next week?

 

[TW Sherrin]

Ruscoe got better as the game went on. Imo he could have a good career if he played week in week out. Not sure if he'll get that chance at the pies.

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Will we see Pendles with the Mason Cox goggles?

Well they both come from a basketball background....

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

Utter garbage, I don't recall anyone producing worst performance than Kreuger in yonks.

He was subbed out a minute after I yelled out "delist right *en now"

Yeah ok then.

How convenient we had a tall on the sub bench

 

[Dead Eye Didak]

Ruscoe got better as the game went on. Imo he could have a good career if he played week in week out. Not sure if he'll get that chance at the pies.

Agree, l thought his second half was very good....

 

[No SPIN]

Typical response, make up more s**t. You’re not worth my effort.

Only YOU have challenged my views on Ruscoe, and many others have been equally praise worthy of his performance.
So I agree, it’s best you move on, because no one’s listening.

 

[Apex36]

This made me smile. He’s a traitorous dog, but it’s still nice to know Daisy has a soft spot for the pies.

 

[Roverjg]

Sorry - but for his first game the positives far outweighed the huge negatives critics proffered before the game.
His kick to Ginni showed amazing composure under the huge pressure at that point in the game.
He had 100% DE, 7 marks - 2 contested.
A much better game than the critics could have expected.
Your goal of first up perfection, is a completely unrealistic standard.

You should expect 100% DE when only one of his disposals went further than 20m. Ruscoe had a good last quarter and kudos to him. However, in the 1st two quarters he was poor

I can't remember any highlights after the 2 minute mark of this video

 

[JuniorB]

We have only played one of the bottom nine teams so far.

Yeah! Geelong were allowed to play themselves back into form by playing Hawthorn & WC in successive weeks.
We haven't played any teams yet to pad out our percentage.
Just wait until we play WC, North & the dirty undies!

Utter garbage, I don't recall anyone producing worst performance than Kreuger in yonks.

He was subbed out after dropping that absolute sitter. I can't see him playing next week with Murphy coming back in. Will Kelly has done enough to stay as a sub.
