Amazing that two hours after the game there are only two posts on this thread. I am used to two pages in the first hour after a game!

I guess Garland, Watts, Howe, Dawes and co can keep their jobs this week.

Paul Roos made mention in his post match presser that to take the next step we need to add an A+ midfielder

Perhaps the rumours are true about Prestia coming are true :roos:

So Prestia's gone from a B grader to an A+ grader in a week, in your calculations, mate? ;)

 

One good game from Howe isn't enough. I still hope they move him on.

Dawes has been serviceable for a couple of weeks now. Hoping he finds his niche and can continue to work around half forward... he'll never be a deep marking forward with those hands.

So you rate him as a A grader now

Dion prestia.. the first player to go from b grade to a plus in a week without even playing. Well done son

So you rate him as a A grader now

No i rate him the level below, B+. Hes an absolute gun.

A grader is reserved for the true superstars

Roos probably wouldn't come out and say that unless something was in the works.

Who knows, maybe Prestia's all a sideshow?

So how can you equate Roos talking about getting an A+ midfielder to being about Dion Prestia when you only rate him as a B+?

Logic doesn't compute, although why I'm applying logic to your posts is anybodies guess.

Because people have different ways/grades of rating players?

I just want him at the MFC, hes a legit gun

As Ricky Gervais would say:

"Your explanation is the theological equivalent of saying 'look over there' and then running in the opposite direction."

Agree with the last part though.

Whilst I don't wish to 'pick' on him, can some of you watch Garland today and tell me what he's adding to the side today?

He's already fluffed kicks. One of which was to a player less than 15 metres away on his own.

Do people see how one-dimensional our backline is?

Garland has value through FA. We need a different skill set in our side and in our backline.

Watch Garland for the rest of the day and you'll see what I mean. He is insignificant. Irrelevant.

There's lots to like about Colin Garland except for his kicking. He actually kicks floaters not dissimiliar to how Cale Morton used to and Gaspar also. If you watch him closely, he makes contact with the ball right on it's point (when the ball is vertical) as opposed to the sweet spot behind the point. Hence, too many up and unders. I used to do same in the shite leagues.

Who GAF if Prestia's B+, A or A+. Really...

We need quality mids badly, and have for years. If he comes to Melbourne I'll be ecstatic.

Prestia or if that fails, OMeara. If that fails and 18 of our senior players get done for steroids, Morton...the brother.

don't want anyone from gc

Wouldn't it be all so much easier if we could get our hands on the all knowing file that grades all players A through to F, would make recruiting so much easier.


I heard today from someone who knows Cam Pedersen that Jeremy Howe is gone

Begs the question why the f he keeps getting a game (and yes he played well today)

Begs the question why you would believe it so blindly too.

The club knows what it is doing.

I'm not saying I believe it blindly

But on form Howe should have been dropped a loooong time ago.

 

Just throwing this up.

Swans have too many mids in the same mould and need some new blood in defense. Would they be interested in Fitzy??

Maybe, but his game today shows why he should be kept in the side. No one else at Casey can play like he can.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
