The Semi-Finals: Nick Davis Round.

[aardvark]

Cotchin is an average footballer and a s#!t bloke.

I don't know what the score reviewer was looking at but you could clearly see a gap between the ball and the fist. It cost the Saints a goal. You can't have mistakes like this in a final.

In real time it looked like the ball bounced back into play, and when you see the score review it looked to me that the whole ball didn't go over the line. Should have been a ball up. It looked like the initial reaction from the players was the ball didn't fully go through for a goal.

And Lynch then thinks this is standard behaviour dropping a knee into a player on the deck. Daisi summed it up well when she said "It's not a good look."

But Cotchin previously called him a "phenomenal human being". What a wanker.

I think it starts a rung higher: with the coach.

You're spot on. A few weeks back during the controversy over one of the Lynch incidents, Hardwick made a comment that the successful teams he has been involved with have always played on the edge. So he endorses that behaviour.

At last! A shot of Eddie looking perplexed!

Just came on to say it's nice to see Eddie suffering ????.

60 to 6 at half time. Maybe last week against WC took a lot out of Collingwood. They aren't this bad, and Geelong
aren't this good. Disappointing, I was hoping for a close game to watch. Sydney Uni's Prem Div GF win was
much more entertaining to watch.

Agree. Seems like a Latent response to the pretty rough circumstances the pies faced in Perth. Geelong look good but aren’t facing much opposition. Like us against GWS. Will get found out big time next week.

And now it's 3/4 time and it's 62 to 7. So three behinds were kicked in an entire quarter and the difference in the
stats is thru the roof. This is barely a game of footy. The WC game last week and trip back from WA has taken
everything out of Collingwood. I almost feel sorry for them. Go Lions.

If Collingwood didn't have 17 home games every season they might be better at travelling. Pack of sooks.

They haven't adjusted that is for sure. There has always been this widespread denial amongst the fans of MCG tenants like
Richmond and Collingwood that their teams aren't advantaged by not having to travel as much as other teams. I'm expecting
widespread outrage from them if Brisbane end up winning.

Despite the scorelines, last night's match had some balance. As much as I hated Geelong winning, I loved Collingwood getting spanked. Now if they both could have lost, that would have been wonderful. Let's adjust the rules one more time.

Playing on the edge doesn't mean taking cheap shots when someone is on their back. Going hard opponent in a contest in the guise of playing for the ball would be what I consider playing on the edge, a bit like Mitch Robinson. Lynch seems to happy to hit someone when they are down and his dickhead coach just smiles when asked about it.

Cotchin should have got at least a week for the the high tackle on Zak Jones. It was head high, after the whistle, and effected Jones for the remainder of the match. Same as he should have got a week for the head high hit on Dylan Shiel in the final against the giants a few years ago. He's dirty, and is a repeat offender.

My only solice is that he seems like an idiot, so post-football he'll probably by a country pub and go slowly broke. Destitute at 40.

Hardwick is really testing my patience lately.....his loyalty to his 'on the edge' players displays a gobsmacking arrogance. An arrogance born out of Victorian privilege and reflective of the type of player he was.....a thug. He should pull his head in but I highly doubt he ever self reflects.
