Not defending Motlop across the game, but the PlayStation thing was an acknowledgment of a guy that died.

You can sum up the mind set of the players in one passage of play.
Acres marks 40 out not much angle. He then kicks to Lord 45 out on the same angle but un favoured side. Who then hand passes to McGovern running by who tries to kick it from 50 plus on the run.

Zero confidence in their own abilities so don't want to take on the responsibility.

And there were several other instances where we had momentum running towards goal with a head of steam and instead of taking the shot tried to pin point passes to a player who had a pies player right up his backside.

Take the bloody shot

The difference between the 2 sides last night is the difference between the pairs list management. Collingwood are not obsessed with going to the draft or trading up for picks. Macrae said last year I need players not picks.
They had just as many first choice players out as we did but weren't relying on 19 and 20 year olds to fill there spots.

Looking for established players that add to depth appears looking at ladder leaders to be a far better strategy than going to the draft.
SPS Obrien Dow Stocker Carroll should have all been part of our team. But going to the draft and picking 1st year apprentices and hoping they are going to be gun trades i 4 years is very risky. All other Industries in Australia have worked this out years ago and it is been more beneficial to bring skills from elsewhere. It's okay to have 1 or 2 coming through but when you have 17 apprentices of which maybe 3 will come good is to risky.
With that many it requires a lot of development spread over a lot of players with limited resources to develop them properly. Go and get honest tradesman that can fill a need in your workplace

Liked Williams, Cowan, Hollands and Carroll.
Thought Pitto at least battled away.
Moir didn’t get a lot, but when he touched it usually something happened.
…..and that’s about it.

So true

We make the easy look hard

Also shows low IQ and a lack of a system

Surely at training it’s drummed into them to take a shot 40 metres out

2 inside 50 tackles.
1 was from Pittonet.

Then acknowledge it elsewhere. He can go and start a podcast or something where he can make his acknowledgements. His actions in the circumstances are not appreciated by the team he plays for SUPPORTERS.
