We do so much right. For so long. That’s it’s really hard for teams who have better talent to handle.

It’s really quite amazing.

Our ability last night to continually stick tackles and follow up with a second tackle or desperation act, bounce back to our feet and be in the next contest, or run to the next play was the sort of stuff that no one is winning against. I rewarded stuff on the stats sheet but OMG was a massive reason.

Laughing at blues blaming umpires….whether you agree one way or another….over 120 mins it’s amazing that Blues players couldn’t have made different decisions or less mistakes….so let’s blame umpires for close loss.

FMD it’s pathetic and a loser mentality.

Hence why they ain’t winning it this year.

Eleven goal kickers to four says it all. Half backs, mids, wingers, rucks and forwards all contributing is a major factor in our current success and I still think is a point of difference on the rest of the comp.

Pretty damning for Owies, will the umps stamp his papers and refuse to pay him any frees going forward??

MATCH REVIEW: Pies pair learn fates after bruising win

The Match Review findings from Friday night's round eight game are in

www.afl.com.au

Maynard applied the tackle from behind on Owies who both leans forward in the tackle and raises his right arm, leading to Maynard falling with and on top of Owies. It was the view of the MRO that Maynard did not sling, drive or rotate Owies into the ground with excessive force, and accordingly the MRO did not consider that Maynard’s actions were unreasonable in the circumstances. No further action was taken.

Wouldn’t it be lovely if they missed the finals by one game again?

I just love watching our gang tackling. Love love love it.

 

[TheVillageIdiot7]

I just love watching our gang tackling. Love love love it.

Was pretty intense wasn’t it?
The repeats efforts.

There was one by Maynard (maybe in the first?) where he laid 2 tackles and then almost got to the third….wow moment for mine!

Schultz clear HTB…but was a free prior. That stuff is just absolute gold for us.

I want the 6 minutes of my life back. That makes me want to vomit.

 

[caloschwaby]

P.S. I chose the word "dross" specifically.
Why?
Here's a definition:
The scum that forms on the surface of molten metal as a result of oxidation.

Probably the oxidation from those old, rusting cups, clinging on to them for nourishment just like the scum does.

Now I know why we call them that

Fly's presser

Fly makes an opening statement:

"Do you mind if I start by talking about the coming together before the game. AFL initiative and an important message. Enough is enough. I'm not here to change the world. I understand my position is to coach the footy team, but I'll do everything in our power at the Collingwood Football Club to make sure that our men represent us well and the community well, and it's a community message and I just want to play our part. Enough's enough".

Well said. To the game, Nick's ability to burst from stoppage and win you the match?

"What a player. I was lucky enough just to watch it on the phone just before. Jeez, a little important tap on from Harvey Harrison. He looks [like] an AFL player. We've seen that for a while now. That late in the game to be running with that intensity; if you watch it and you track him how hard he's working and then the finish. Wow, what an exceptional talent".

Can I ask you about what you said at the start. Do you think football needs to do more than this symbolic gesture concerning violence against women?

"It's all actions isn't it?

So what can you do in a practical sense?

"All we can do at Collingwood is role model. I often talk about being a great father, being a great husband and giving to the community and representing us well, but also yourself. We talk about winning on the scoreboard and that's important, it really is. I'm not here to be a spokesperson. I'm not into politics. I'm into role modelling and making our young men proud young men. Winning on the scoreboard is one thing, but winning at all levels is really important for the Collingwood Football Club".

You mentioned Harvey Harrison earlier and Sullivan and others stepped up with winning the clearance battle despite missing De Goey and Mitchell. You must be so proud of that?

has done an incredible job. We had a plan going in. We knew we had enormous threats in there last week. It wasn't at a level we were happy with; got to work on that. He had a great plan for all of us. We had a couple of guys doing jobs on individuals in there. [Sam] Walsh is a great player. He got away from us. Jeez, they look so threatening around that part of the game. It's only small margins, we kicked a goal with a minute to go, but ultimately there's a lot of those things you know contribute to us getting the result in the end".

Have you seen a mature age debutant like Lachie Sullivan handle the occasion the way he did with his performance and kicking a goal on debut?

"It was great to have his family in. We had them in the club yesterday and his girlfriend. He's had to wait a long time for this and there's something to be said for those that have some patience to wait and the resilience. He's been looking like an AFL player for weeks. We've seen that and he gets an opportunity. First kick, he kicks a goal that just gives such energy to all of us. The whole group just rises and connects. There's a lot to be said for that and he's an important message for some. When things don't go your way, just keep going and you never know and hopefully that inspires some others in the state leagues".

Do you have an issue with your starts after slow starts against Port and Essendon, and again tonight?

"I thought it was my best pre-game presentation yet, that's the feedback I got so it shows it doesn't matter. I thought we started okay. I think we kicked the first goal didn't we? When you say "start", what do you mean? The longevity of the first quarter?"

Yes, the first quarter?

"Yeah, we know we're not finished. You're playing against some really good opposition and you lose territory and they're big guys. Serious weapons upfront. If you lose territory and lose contests and it's played in your half. They're [Carlton] one of the best teams in the competition for a reason. We've played Port, and then Essendon and now Carlton. Maybe it's a reflection of the teams we're playing more than us. We'll wait and see".

Your pressure rating was 192 in the second quarter. Do you feel all the positives and everything you're trying to do revolves around exerting strong pressure?

"It's a key indicator of success for us. I think most teams know that. I was just chatting to Vossy after the game and he goes 'your pressure was really good'. +31 tackles is a big number. We're not here to go back in time and go 'oh we want to play like we did last year', that's not us. That's done. We want to be better. We weren't getting +31 tackles last year. That's a better version of us. It's hard to stop".

Do you feel you're a better defensive team this year than last year?

"No, I'm not saying that. We've got work to do on that, but our pressure is better. It might not equate to #1 pressure team in the comp yet. +31 tackles is hard to play against isn't it?"

When you talk about Lachie Sullivan and the energy he gives you, but what does a result like tonight give you? Can it be a springboard for your season?

"Yeah, that's a nourishing win. A couple of weeks ago I said 'you don't get style points, you only get 4 points'. We had a bit of style to it tonight. I felt there was some things in our game that sort of expressed themselves. We looked really well connected at times. It's not a perfect game. A minute to go when scores are level, but we're not aiming for that. I think that's a nourishing win. That's a deeper win than potentially we've had this year".

Was there a part of you thinking you were heading for a second consecutive draw?

"Yeah, there was. There was 'oh, not two weeks in a row'. I think this week in particular, the domination of inside 50s was different, like 61 to 30 or whatever it was, so domination of territory would suggest that we probably should have executed better and had the scoreboard margin a bit more, particularly in the third quarter. I thought for 10-15 minutes it was down our end and we just couldn't execute, so if it was a draw it would probably would have had a bit more of a sour taste in the mouth. I thought we, not for all parts, but for parts of the game we were the better team".

What about that last five minutes with arguably the two best sides of winning close games, did you wonder who was best at controlling the footy in the last five minutes?

"I thought we made, and I can't comment on Carlton for what they thought they did execute or didn't, but I thought we made a lot of good decisions late in the game. We were composed where we needed to be. Managed those moments which has been a hallmark of us in previous times. It's nice to think that we're well connected when we need to be".

There were a lot of individual goal kickers (12 goals overall) from your team tonight. That must be very pleasing?

"Yeah, we'll find a way to score at the moment. We sort of don't rely on maybe two or three to kick multiple goals for us. They're Collingwood goals, and we don't really care who kicks them. I think a couple of weeks ago we kicked 17 goals, 21 [behinds] with Will Hoskin-Elliott

as a key [forward]. We find a way to score. I thought parts of our game we rush back inside 50, so we've got some work to do on that once we turn the ball over, but we're finding a way to score".

On Nick Daicos, he's obviously achieved an incredible amount already in a short period of time, what do you think a moment like tonight does for him?

"Nick when he plays like that is one of the best players in the competition. Everyone can see that. He was hard to stop tonight, and he's covering the ground. We've been playing him across half back. Jordy's out and 'go and do your work Nick'. I was really really happy with his defensive side of the game. His pressure was as good as I'd seen him since he's been playing with us. Funnily enough, the other parts of his game really expressed himself on the back of good defence. Really pleased for that part in particular".

Is it just concussion for Beau McCreery or are you concerned about his jaw and cheekbone?

"No, he'll be in the protocol so that's 12 days if all is going to plan. He won't play next week".

Is there any update on Jordan De Goey

compared to what you told us earlier in the week?

"No, [from the] last [time] I spoke to the doctors. I'll get an update over the weekend. I would have thought he was unlikely to play next week too. That's probably expressed itself late in the week. Tom Mitchell might be a different story. We'll wait and see on that one".
