He probably shouldn't have even taken that last shot of his in the 2nd half. He was in la la land & seeing stars so I can understand why he missed it

What would he know about being a forward in the modern game?
Surely a player who breaks jaws from behind and a thug from the 80's would know more about it than Brown, who only played in three consecutive premierships this century.

True. Point is, he was in the position to get those 4 scoring opportunities, against a reasonably well respected defender in Reid.
Something I have wanted to do for a while was go through a game and gif out both the great highlights, but also the little things that impress that get lost after a game. I think both are important. I'm just going to do the first quarter for now, and if people want the rest of the game I'd be happy to sit through it a fourth time to do this again. It might also be better as its own thread to avoid slow loading times for people in this thread? Mods let me know. For now, here are some of the things I enjoyed seeing.
1. Josh Bruce kicks a goal from outside 50
2. Half back to goal square in less than 10 seconds. Sinclair and Riewoldt with beautiful kicks.
3. Seb Ross with a brilliant kick under pressure. When did he learn to have disposal like this?
4. Incredibly well weighted pass by Roberton. Anyone that's played footy knows how hard it is to do on that angle across your body.
Edit: Are some of these not showing up for some people? They work in the post preview but fail in the actual post for me. Strange. Only some of them.
Nah love it mate. Just an idea to maybe put spoiler tags around the gifs - not to prevent actual spoilers, but so people can open the spoiler if they want the images to load. It does put a fair strain on the browser.
Interestingly the coaches votes were rather split

Its good when respected past players who know a thing or two about the game give an endorsement like that.
I've seen a huge difference from last year to this, mainly in terms of running and positioning which is really encouraging.
Big forwards take time - look at Hawkins who took 5 years, Paddy is in his second year so all is good
Loved his pack mark...

Isn't it fantastic that our club is responsible for putting all this heat and pressure on Coll and Bucks. Well done Saints!
When do we play Rich? Maybe we can get Dimma sacked.

Clearly Shane Mcinerney was best for Collingwood
Hopefully going forward the Saints learned a couple important things
Lower your eyes kicking into forward line
Spread when you gain possession in defence giving outlets
Run & pressure the opposition at every contest not some.

I took a look at that last night and someone has definitely gone big with one and not the other. Maybe Sebby received the other 5?

I still haven't had the opportunity to see the game. I can't stream the replay while I'm outside of Australia. I can't wait until Sunday to watch the full game. I've watched the highlights about 15 times.

Agree also thought Jimmy Webster might have snagged some votes as well

Just watched the 1st quarter. Seb Ross BOG at that point. He seems to be in every chain when we are going forward.
Just quietly, Nick Riewoldt went off at about the 20 minute mark of the 2nd quarter, but by that time he had amassed 11 disposals (at 100% DE), 7 marks, 2 goals and a whopping 86 ranking points!
Given how dominant we were in the 2nd half, it makes you wonder what sort of game he might have had had he not been concussed.

Yeah i thought he went a long way to helping set us up for a win, and i admit that I was worried it would all go pear shaped when he came off.
I saw the replay of Roos snap goal and his over the top celebrating and my first thought was that he was getting rid of some personal demons

But, we weren't playing Melbourne...
According to the media, it seems like Collingwood played themselves in a practice match... No credit what so ever to us.
