Match Thread - Round 14, Collingwood

[Nico]

Have a real hard look at yourself Johnston. Should have marked that instead of the punch. Pretty weak.

lewis Jono should have taken the ball, inexperience

While that last goal was LJ was hopefully just inexperience on his part, should have marked it not tried to hit it out.

Good work by Goodes then for Maccas goal.

Umpire gifts goal to the woods from non-existent free
Dawes marks it over the lines no call
Coldsack spins 480 degrees in a tackle and no free.

We are getting done by a better team, but it's hard when the other guys have 22 players and we only have 18.

BTW, welcome to the big league Lewis...

[Cheer Squad]

That was criminal! Why didn't he mark it???

[gossipcom]

Dawes marks it over the lines no call

Is it just me or have a few gone over the boundary line untouched and not been called?

Everitt's on. Jack gone for the night and probably for a few weeks (did the same ankle as before).

Pln Currie at least he would sort a few of the oppo out

[Bas]

Catch the footage of the Swans supporter taunting the pies fans at about 4 mins to go at the end of the 2nd qtr. Very funny.

Jacks gone off now substituted.

POathetic delivery once again

Collingwood beat us because they run harder. Watch how hard they run to position and when they spread. They are bloody sprinting. We are 3.4 pace jogging. i.e. they work harder than us. Mind you they do better than most teams on this but it has to be a big part of their success. Still, I expected a complete smashing by this stage and it hasn't happened so better than I had expected. Really impressed with our tackling and endeavour tonight, even if our skills are clearly second rate.

Another observation, I think we have seen the best of Adam Goodes. The question is whether from here he plateaus or goes into steep decline a la Chad Cornes.

Why don't we move more & set up out of defense. We know the Pies are going to press so why not totally upset them by criss crossing & blocking off the ball. The Hawks do it & it works against the Pies. Also the very short kick to posi to players willing to work hard. We are lazy that is why sides like the Pies & Blues find us easy.

Its not just you....

By the way I think White is a failed AFL Footballer a bit like Fitzie, looks great, does the specky things but when it comes to the crunch is not up to it.

Smithy's derriere pouted over the line and he was pinged.
