    I didn't know if he was on Buckley all night. It looked to me that Collingwood was rotating players off him. How was that one in the first Q when Buckley turned him inside out on the boundary. He wasn't smart enought to give away a "professional free".

      Nico, you need to have half a football brain to do that. You know that Bevan has none.

        Rocca in the front position a metre out from goal first Q, what does Spida do, tries to out mark him, instead of punching, oh the pain.

          Were you there Nico, or did you see it on TV.
          It was pretty cringeworthy on TV - I imagine it would have been worse live.
          Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.

            How good was Goodes. At one time there he and Kirk appeared to be the only ones to put their hands on the footy. Just remarkable running by Goodes and I thought Kirk really led from the front. Not hard to see who the leaders are at the club. Fancy Barry and Hall being co captains, laughable.

            In Hall's defence though he is injured and in all honesty should not have been out there.

            In hindsight to leave Buchanan out was a serious blunder. At least he has hardness. He must be spewing when he sees the likes of McVeigh and Schneider dogging it all night.

              Sitting right behind it, stunningly stupid not to have punched. Mind you there was someone else of ours in front of Spida so it was doubly dumb.

                That would have been when I got up out of my seat 6 rows from where it happened and thought game over.

                  Send him to Carlton - would fit in well with Saddo on that effort

                  If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

                      Excellent analysis by Legs Akimbo. Sorry NMW but your comments were unnecessary.

                        Yep.

                        Fancy having a former player that played his whole career predominantly in the forward line coaching the midfield (Longmire).

                        And having a former player that played his whole career in the backline coaching the forward line. (Blakey).

                          Mcveigh - well how pathetic was he. Did we all see him squib in the first Q in the middle when the mark was his and he took his eyes of the footy and kacked himself at the site of a Pies player. Turned over for a goal and the start of their run.
                          He sure did squib. You described it perfectly. Embarassing.

                            I wasn't commenting on whether he was a good player or not. I was commenting on his game last night.

                            He was terrible. Was soundly beaten by every opponent he was on.

                              Amazing. That was like a lowlights reel, highlighting all the flaws in the Sydney side in just one game. The worst thing is, they've been blatantly obvious for a while. For instance:

                              Bevan: If his skills don't let him down, his decisions do. Why would you EVER pass to Mathews in an overhead marking contest, let alone in defence? And what the hell is he doing getting 9 marks from 11 possessions. That is the sign of a go-to person out of defence, and somebody with such poor skills should never be used in that role.
                              Everitt: So having punched the ball through when he didn't need to, in this game he goes for a mark when he should punch, costing us a goal (as opposed to a point which proved to be the difference in the other game). So next time he goes for the punch...straight to an opponent. Please, never let him near the defensive goal line. In fact, don't put him on the field at all.
                              Selections: Okay, so you want to keep Dempster in for team balance? Great. He shouldn't have been dropped in round 17 anyway. But why would you leave out one of our few attacking midfielders, Buchanan, when you have so many defensive ones ? Bevan, McVeigh, Crouch, Mathews, Kirk, Bolton... Without Kennelly, we need all the flair and run we can get, and leaving Buchanan out was foolish.
                              McVeigh: Did stuff all yet again. Maybe three good games this season ? just not enough.
                              Barry: You're not 25. Trying to create out of defence is a nice idea, especially with Kennelly not around, but you just can't run away from any opponent under 100kg any more.
                              Key defenders: Yet again we were carved up by bigger, stronger opponents. I could understand that happening with LRT out, but that's exactly what he's there for ? to provide some bulk in the backline. Admittedly, it doesn't help when there is so many opportunities created for them, which is what having so many defensive midfielders is supposed to prevent.
                              Davis: Had some great games this year, but also has the tendency to go missing. Why not move him into the middle?
                              Umpires: Not Sydney's fault per se, but a constant factor against us.
