Toast Round 9 = Collingwood 120-55 GWS

Also great to see all our small forwards lift.

 

[DinoSoar]

All Pies fans on the way home from the G. How good is this?!?

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I’m thoroughly enjoying Markov getting just slightly better each week as he gets used to his surroundings

is about to play game 100. This is around the time footballers really start to play good football

Mason also didn’t grow up playing the sport which makes what he’s doing even more significant. The fact that he will most likely get even better is super important for us going forward

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Please tell me Frampton is available next week

Nope. One more week “at least” according to Fly.

 

[Jonno94]

Won in a different way which was good to see ;with effecient ball use inside 50 and aerial dominance. Its not like GWS gave us everything we wanted, we lost clearance and contested ball which is rare this year.

 

[unplugged]

I hope we can finally out to bed the nonsense rhetoric this board has spouted for years that Cox isn’t fit enough to first ruck.
Arguably the two best games of his career have been in the role and he’s only played 3 of his 97 games doing it.

Absolutely. It was a shame he wasn't fit for the last month or so!

 

[Vicky Park]

It’s all falling into place. We have the personnel to carry us to a flag.

 

[stormskye]

We are a game clear of Melb and they’ve played eagles, north, hawks, and Gold Coast.

 

[Fruit]

I think Big Mason gets the 3 Votes. He played well each quarter and even Nick D was a bit quieter in the first half before exploding in the last half.

 

[Gaben]

And McStay???


Sent from my iPhone using BigFooty.com

Will be good for us to have a legitimate tall in the twos.

Seriously though, good problem to have although it’s likely they won’t all be fit at the same time. McStay ends up competing with AJ for the third spot if they are; he can’t compete with Cameron/Cox IMO though
because he’s proved he isn’t up to it/isn’t interested in being the backup ruck.
I’m still convinced McStay would make a better stoic defender and we could use his height down there.

Better exploding in the last half than the first - stays crystal clear in the humps minds.

 

[JuniorB]

We are a game clear of Melb and they’ve played eagles, north, hawks, and Gold Coast.

And we've played 5 of the current top 8.

 

[TradeDraft]

Tom Mitchell best match for the club, giving up Pick 41 and 44 is paying in spades.

Just don't let him Kick as most are Up and Unders

 

[toxic]

The absolute best thing about this team is how they celebrate each effort made by a teammate

They genuinely love to sacrifice for their teammate

 

[BEEG]

Never in doubt.

The people who watched, Daicos get votes? I know that's a silly question as he got 41.

 

[biggus_di]

Awesome win, great to see Coxy up and about. Markov was a great pick up, really like how he goes about it.

You're next Carlton.

 

[toxic]

Never in doubt.

Cox 3
JDG 2

1 - could be anyone, including Nic

 

[Not Like This]

How’s the serenity?!
Nice to have a relaxing win at the G!

 

[Looney]

Better exploding in the last half than the first - stays crystal clear in the humps minds.

Being a 7 foot giant also helps to stay in the umps head.

 

[Vicky Park]

Has someone done a Fine Cotton with WHE? He’s a different player.

 

[sr36]

Never in doubt.

The people who watched, Daicos get votes? I know that's a silly question as he got 41.

I'd vote:
3 Cox
2 JDG
1 Nick

Moore the other one, but Kpds aren't allowed to get Brownlow votes. I think that's one of the umpires rules.

 

[jonbe54]

Being a 7 foot giant also helps to stay in the umps head.

Consider for a second . . . . . . . . . .

Who is the Collingwood player who has been constantly tunnelled, blocked and had arms smashed in marking contests for his whole career without frees?

Who is in charge of those frees?

Who is in charge of handing out votes?

 

[Looney]

Cox 3
JDG 2

1 - could be anyone, including Nic

Nick would get 1 or 2. Won't get 3 because he just didn't have the same impact on the game as he usually does.

 

[sr36]

Has someone done a Fine Cotton with WHE? He’s a different player.

I'm really looking forward to him sticking one of his speckies.

 

[Lockyer24]

Brilliant game from Cocko

De Goey was awesome in stages and his link up with Mitchell is the best duo at the club now

Defense very good again - although Murphy being under sized is a slight worry

Good to see a few of our forwards get involved this week
