He is a beautiful kick with pace
It doesn’t look like a grind when he has the ball

Too many slow average players

Like Stocker
If we can jag a good player with pick 13 ish in this years draft
Will be the only good thing to come out of 2018 draft


Setterfield a bust. You delusional fool. Sad, miserable man.

Collingwood must be kicking themselves .... With a bit more discipline they could have kept Carlton to zero free kicks

My 20 cents -

Today Collingwood was the better side. The inside 50 count doesn't lie.

There were some very questionable decisions but not as many as espoused on this forum. The club would be remiss not to seek clarification, though given that the AFL doesnt mind players climbing posts, I doubt that we will be satisfied!

SOS seems to be teflon coated. All pressure goes onto the coach yet SOS hasn't jagged a jet from left field after four drafts (?).
Something like Cripps at 13, Simpson at 45 or James Harmes as a rookie would be nice.
To continually pick GWS players who cannot get a game at GWS is either arrogant or naive. Jarrod Pickett and Will Setterfield are not number 4 draft picks.

The knocks on Marc Murphy here are just wrong. He is still easily in the club's top 10.

The over rating of our myriad of our average players isn't for me.
Williamson, Macreadie, Plowman, O'Brien and Cuningham are average players though the last has pace but cannot kick sorry. They, like Levi, are at best steak knives.

That's a fair stat. And very telling. On the positive side we were relativly effective when we went inside 50, haha.

But, here's a season-long observation I've made elsewhere…

Free kicks for and against in percentage terms

Bulldogs | 170 | 126 | 135%
Collingwood | 171 | 134 | 128%
Geelong | 127 | 110 | 115%
Adelaide | 122 | 111 | 110%
Brisbane | 183 | 168 | 109%
North | 144 | 131 | 108%
Fremantle | 110 | 110 | 100%
Gold Coast | 144 | 139 | 104%
St Kilda | 138 | 141 | 98%
Eagles | 133 | 138 | 96%
Giants | 125 | 131 | 95%
Melbourne | 152 | 166 | 92%
Swans | 150 | 165 | 91%
Richmond | 127 | 140 | 91%
Hawthorn | 116 | 128 90%
Essendon* | 149 | 165 | 90%
Port | 133 | 155 | 86%

Carlton | 126 | 162 | 78%

Correct at time of posting.

Some team will have to be last. Could also be that we are least skilled, panic more and give away more
I prefer to look at case by case
There were 4 clear ones to me today that resulted in 2 goals to Coll and denied us a goal 20m out when Curnow got his arms chopped

Pros:
Our captain......yet again
Fisher early on relished the challenge-did he get injured during the game?
Cunningham showed some poise. He’s physically stronger of the young ones
JSOS battled well. He will never be a speedster but should continue to build his stamina
The much maligned Levi got his matchup and did well. The trick is to do well when the matchup is not ideal
Happy with Stocker’s second taste of the big league and Willo getting through another game
Not a bad crowd. A better performance last week against North and we may have had another 5-10000 in through the turnstiles.

Cons:
Thought SPS may have contributed more after all he has played 50 games. Really need him contributing 1-2 goals a game
Inability to close out games. Can we make the games a scrap or slow it down when teams come at us or we need to hold a lead?
Umpiring inconsistency. Notwithstanding the lopsided frees it’s the ones that aren’t paid to us but paid to the opposition that’s frustrating.

Fisher rolled his ankle I think. He tried to run it out but did come off for treatment. I sit right near the interchange and he was in the hands of the medicos for a short time. I don't think it was too bad.

One positive from today, and it came from seeing Cripps’ reaction and hearing that he took over the post-game debrief.

I got the sense that this one genuinely hurt the players, and hope Cripps was the one to pull any heads out of any “near enough is good enough” stupor and give a dose of reality.

A reality that they have it within them to match it with the top teams, but that they need to will themselves to reach that next level like he has, and these fadeouts can’t be tolerated anymore regardless of the opposition. Maybe today the message finally got through.

Or maybe I’m just a dreamer.

We got a couple of goals in front in the last, then we stopped attacking.. the old stop, hold it up and look sideways. I said that's it, we are done. Then the ball went down the Collingwood end and never really came out. end of ball game.

Cuningham can't kick? :lol:
I'm sure some posters are competing to see who can post the most ridiculous comments. David Cuningham would be in the top 3 technically correct kicks at the club.
Did you happen to see his set shot from the boundary today. Surely I've time travelled back to the first of April again. Or is this one of those hidden camera shows? :sly:

When you get that far in it's not about talent any more or structure or set ups, it's about who wants to win most, and it was us.

Nathan Buckley 11/5/19



We don't know how to win
We have been told it doesn't matter if we win
And we won't be judged on wins and losses


Buckley could see his players wanted to win more.

Winning needs to become the be all and end all.
