Roast Round 7 = Collingwood 55-79 Gold Coast

[Matrix10]

It can come from within, or partly come from within, but surely you can acknowledge the coaching group has a responsibility to keep morale and motivation high amongst the players? These are young men who are lacking confidence and appear disinterested, and it's more than just 1 player it's a lot of them, so clearly it's a club-wide problem rather than an individual problem.

Too much common sense there Kappa, no point trying to explain the machinations of how a well oiled football team excels and gets the best out of itself, the Nathan rose colour glasses fan boy/girl club are like the blind following the blind, both fall in the ditch , will tell you the coach has little influence on how a team performs, these people have no f@7k&n idea

 

[lenny&carl]

We would have a high turnover of players and staff.

Good!

 

[Carringbush2010]

We would have a high turnover of players and staff.

Maybe that's what we need.

Surely you can respond without the personal.

We are entitled to a differing opinion without the put down.

 

[Mick F]

Can you please explain to Sanderson (our ball movement AND forward coach), that it makes little sense to just keep handballing in a circle between midfield and half forward, because our forwards are leading only for there to be another backward handball, and then re-set to lead again for there then to be another sideward handball and so are done by the time the ball is finally delivered into the forward line among a sea of opposition.

We got rid of the wrong assistant coaches which is always going to be the case when Bucks brings in one of his best mates.

True very hard to play key forward when they do that.

 

[unplugged]

Just watched the replay. Torture, yes. Very few highlights; Murphy, Mihocek, Poulter, Daicos, Noble, IQ. End.

Shit performance but if we had have kicked a couple more in the third quarter (and we should have, we were all over them) the game may have been a completely different result. Last quarter things weren't going our way and it just looked like we gave up.

Darkness has risen, and the term rock-bottom has reached a new level of prominence at Collingwood after their inept and wasteful display against the Gold Coast Suns, when they failed by 24 points (4 goals) for the second consecutive match in as many weekends. The Magpies were extremely embarrassing to put it politely, and played with no care, effort or desire to compete against an opponent who did as they pleased for the vast duration of the contest, and punished the Magpies accordingly. As soon as the final siren had sounded, I made the assessment that Collingwood are now at rock-bottom for the first time in years, which I rarely mention and found it increasingly staggering that the club I embrace, and will continue to embrace has found themselves in a plight it cannot counter nor conquer in the immediate future. As far as Nathan Buckley's destiny as coach is concerned, I will keep endorsing him until he is no longer coaching the club. That's as philosophical as I will be about this predicament, and how clear my judgement will remain in the foreseeable future. The countless reports about Bucks in recent times is extremely tiring and are sounding like broken records. I'm not in the camp of axing Buckley. However, I remain open to the possibilities of who might coach the Woods in the event Bucks has had enough, or the club hierarchy determine with him that the club needs movement at the station.

Collingwood only won a handful of statistical categories. They were handballs by +9 (149 - 140), hit-outs were won by +36 (50 - 14), +6 for clearances (37 - 31), with a differential of +7 from stoppage clearances (27 - 20), and Tackles Inside 50 had an advantage of +1 (9 - 8). Gold Coast had a differential of +33 for disposals (403 - 370), kicks were won by +42 (263 - 221), while contested possessions were up by +2 (138 - 136), and uncontested possessions had a margin of +38 (267 - 229). Centre clearances were won by +1 (11 - 10), +3 from intercept possessions (75 - 72), tackles were +7 (58 - 51), while uncontested marks had a gap of +43 (125 - 82), Contested Marks were up by +5 (21 - 16), and +4 for Marks Inside 50 (12 - 8). The Suns capped off proceedings with a differential of +3 for Inside 50s (50 - 47), which highlighted how all of those marks and kicks the Suns won against the Magpies came about because Collingwood did not attempt to put any substantial pressure to close those marks or kicks down, which allowed Gold Coast every opportunity to score enough goals, which eventuated promptly and subsequently denied any prospect of a victory for the Magpies when the game concluded.

Josh Daicos (27 disposals @ 74%, 229 metres gained, 8 contested possessions, 19 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 11 kicks, 16 handballs, 4 marks, 5 tackles, 2 Tackles Inside 50, 8 score involvements, 4 clearances, 2 centre clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 2 Inside 50s, 2 Rebound 50s & 1 goal) was one of the few players to stand up in the midfield by creating opportunties for the team to score and tackled ferociously when he did not have the ball. Got reward from his tackling with a classy snap which he converted in the third term.

Scott Pendlebury (26 disposals @ 69%, 371 metres gained, 12 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 3 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 11 handballs, 5 marks, 4 tackles, 2 goal assists, 5 score involvements, 6 clearances, 6 stoppage clearances & 5 Inside 50s) won enough disposals to be influential, yet he proved to be ineffective at times.

Brodie Grundy (21 disposals @ 76%, 219 metres gained, 15 contested possessions, 6 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 37 hit-outs, 10 kicks, 11 handballs, 3 marks, 2 Contested Marks, 4 tackles, 7 score involvements, 5 clearances, 3 centre clearances & 2 stoppage clearances & 1 goal) had a field day, but had minimal support beneath his taps for the team to cash in on his dominance against inferior opponents.

Steele Sidebottom (21 disposals @ 86%, 283 metres gained, 6 contested possessions, 15 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 12 kicks, 9 handballs, 6 marks, 2 tackles, 2 goal assists, 5 score involvements, 2 clearances, 2 stoppage clearances, 3 Inside 50s & 3 Rebound 50s) had an improved game with his ball use considerably better compared to his form in recent weeks. Worked hard to win his possessions at all times.

Isaac Quaynor (21 disposals @ 48%, 474 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 14 uncontested possessions, 5 intercept possessions, 15 kicks, 6 handballs, 4 marks, 3 score involvements, 4 Inside 50s & 5 Rebound 50s) had a highly wasteful game at half-back, with a number of his kicks missing targets. 9 turnovers for a player of his calibre, is too high and too many. Quaynor will look to reduce those errors next weekend.

John Noble (20 disposals @80%, 438 metres gained, 2 contested possessions, 18 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 18 kicks, 2 handballs, 4 marks, 3 score involvements, 3 Inside 50s & 4 Rebound 50s) maintained his high disposal efficiency from defence to give his teammates an opportunity to mark the ball on a regular basis.

Nathan Murphy (15 disposals @ 73%, 241 metres gained, 2 contested possessions, 13 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 10 kicks, 5 handballs, 7 marks, 2 score involvements & 2 Inside 50s) backed in his ability to intercept the ball aerially, used the ball wisely, and provided the highlight of a forgettable loss with a Nick Riewoldt-like mark running back with the flight of the ball in the third term.

Mark Keane (13 disposals @ 85%, 223 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 8 uncontested possessions, 7 intercept possessions, 9 kicks, 4 handballs, 7 marks, 3 Contested Marks, 3 score involvements & 2 Inside 50s) displayed his aerial capabilities behind the ball by taking a number of nice marks. Keane is very inexperienced as a key defender who has proven he is yet to contain opponents who kick goals on him. Once Keane knows where to position himself more often in marking contests, he'll become a much-improved footballer.

Brody Mihocek (24 disposals @ 50%, 552 metres gained, 7 contested possessions, 17 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 20 kicks, 4 handballs, 12 marks, 5 Marks Inside 50, 8 score involvements, 8 Inside 50s & 4 goals) was comfortably Collingwood's best player, and easily the best forward for the Magpies with his ability to lead up and take marks, and regularly impacted the scoreboard when nobody else could complete the task. Would love to see you kick 5 goals in a game before your career ends at AFL level, Brody. Pefect opportunity to achieve that landmark next weekend.

Beau McCreery (10 disposals @ 70%, 240 metres gained, 5 contested possessions, 5 uncontested possessions, 2 intercept possessions, 4 kicks, 6 handballs, 9 tackles, 4 Tackles Inside 50 & 3 Inside 50s) has continued to display his brand of footy with ferocious tackling and pressure. He has had a crack in all of the games he has played so far. Hopefully you'll get to taste victory with a Powerade shower next weekend, Beau. You're fast becoming one of my favourite players at the club.

Collingwood's next game will be against North Melbourne at Marvel Stadium on May 8. Time to pull your fingers out, Collingwood! Get back to playing the brand of footy you're capable of producing against the worst-ranked team in the competition. Make an emphasis on starting the game well, maintain the rage, then put the Kangaroos to the sword in the last quarter. This could easily be the last game of the 2021 season that Collingwood enters as favourites, so cash in now and deliver a much-needed victory to hang our hats on before the road gets even harder. I want you to do well, Woods, but you're not showing any signs of that in more recent times. Prove to the critics that you can bruise the Roos and collect the points.

 

[grayza2018]

Made the trip up from the country with the young fella for our first game of the year, picked a good one!

Terrible showing, not much to be taken from that really. Please move Moore back! On to next week

 

[MagpieJoel]

Korda doesn't have a pair.

If he did, he would have taken action against McGuire over the Allan/Balme fiasco, instead of waiting for some out of context comments at a press conference.

Ignoring the fact that he wasn't the only person on the board.

 

[MagpieJoel]

Is Degoey worth $850K a year.?

Nope. I don't think he ever will be either.

 

[Billys Back]

Every time Collingwood run out on the field game day, they are filled with inspiration , hope, and above all PRIDE....to wear the Collingwood jumper is a privilege not a choice.... to keep wearing that jumper you have to earn it....Nathan Buckley was privileged to wear the jumper..... he earned it, and made the choice to stay, because Nathan lives and breathes football.... Collingwood is his heart and soul there is no man out there that can give the love, devotion and dedication to a club like Nathan can....they made Eddie resign ,Eddie was Collingwood through and through from a boy to a man Eddie lived and breathed Collingwood....Eddie leaving has destroyed that power Collingwood had over every club....Take Nathan Buckley away, and Collingwood looses its last chance to rebuild the faith back into the hearts of everyone that believes in the love of the game....not the politics....believe in that strong Magpie Army we all love and belong to...Nathan and the team...need our support....not our tongue lashing....they are hurting same as we are....

Not sure about that. Seems a little dramatic.

 

[stormskye]

Nope. I don't think he ever will be either.

We are paying him around 750 I thought,
Still to much obviously... Dam FA!

 

[76woodenspooners]

How is that any different to our competition?
