Game Day Round 6 vs. Port Adelaide, MCG, 1:45pm Sat 20/04

[Cyclops]

McRae torching the commentators, "no style points on offer today, just 4 points", he's polite but brutal.



Port went out guns blazing and their three stars ran their little legs off. I think Ken organised some very nice opportunities for them too, our defence seemed dislocated so maybe they were shifting it around on us.

Our quality (esp WHE and Lippa) kept us in it and the coach organised the win. Lipinski and WHE are amazing hard workers, as always. These are the blokes Port lacks, and McRae even said he thinks WHE is his swiss Army player. This is why they are picked every week, they get the job done and make the team work.

Nah onto Essendon in 5 days, we can agree to disagree on Q1 different views on it I think Ports pressure caused the tentativeness and fumbling, where as you think it was caused thier pressure (which doesn't explain how they structured mass numbers around the outside of the contest) to me they set up to do it and executed very well in Q1 and just under a half of Q2.

Currently watching GWS vs Carlton before I start work at 19:30.
Both teams looking quality this year.

Finals are won on first touch cleanliness.
I wonder why we spend so much time at training with inside handball drills….

We all see it differently! That’s why I enjoy the different views.

Bring on the dons!!!

Yeah I agree being clean whilst under pressure and absorbing it lol

We also pressure teams and is a key to our success. Look at our opening rounds lacklustre physically and we paid the price.

Thread closing, take the discussion here:

Toast - Round 6 = Collingwood 123-81 Port Adelaide

Massive win in the context of our season. 3-3 and our season is alive. The performance in the 2nd and 3rd quarters was breathtaking. A 73-point turnaround is extraordinary.
