Look how Saints move the ball. We look like we are on ether compared to them. Shits me to tears how slow we are.

Then either stop watching it or stop posting, it is boring as our game speed......gee the number of 'new' posters who do nothing but whinge, is Demonland offered up as part of therapeutic course now?

We weren't slow when we were playing well vs GWS or in the NAB Challenge.

IMO the issue isn't speed, the issue is whether or not we're "on". St Kilda have come into this game with the right mentality (they kicked 5 goals in the entirety of last week's match, they came out harder today and put 6 on the board in the first quarter).

You're wasting your breath/fingers, one of these days it is going to sink into supporters that most of the game is played between the ears

Geez Adelaide are good. Walsh, Camporeale, Pyke. Doesn't matter who coaches them. That team can learn a new game plan in the matter of months whereas we take years to adapt :s

You better tell that to the players next time you're  hanging out with them. The penny hasn't dropped for them either. They might listen to you.

What game plan.....the game is easy.....you have to go from one end to the other, you either kick it using the corridor, kick it using the wings, gun and run using handballs or try to turn it over through pressure, depends which one the coach of the day favours, the players know them all............. the above should cover Bulldogs, Hawthorn, Sydney and a couple of others

I could easily be accused of being the pot calling the kettle black, but Richmond's ball handling and execution under pressure is just appalling.

I do tell the players, the issue we have is getting all 22 on the same page, on the same ground, in the same game, at the same time.....when we do, a la parts of the NAB cup and the last quarter against GWS   we are a good side

The Pyke game plan   or poor skills from Richmond

Alan Richardson's game plan   or poor skills from Collingwood

Touchy arent we?

Its a forum, you know, for discussion?

I'll be sure to run by any topics I may want to discuss with you in the future. Or you could ignore it and move on. Either or.

[Satyriconhome 10,731]

At this stage Collingwood have 9 players with single figure disposals including one J Howe with 4

Don't waste your time, he cuts and pastes that post in every thread.  If you've got a problem with the club, how we play etc. then he wants you to stop posting because, you know, how dare you take a negative view of the football we served up last week.

No chap only with posters who spout and can't back up, ring any bells with you?

The post added nothing whatsoever to the topic apart from a general whinge about lack of speed, every supporter knows the only lack of speed we suffer from during games is between the ears

[Redleg 40,843]

Not wanting to blow my own trumpet, but when the fixture came out last year, there was a discussion on here about some of the games including last week. I recall being one of those who was most worried about last week's game.

I know I should get over it and I will eventually will, but what the hell did the football department do about preparing for this game?

What the hell did the coaches do in reaction to what was unfolding?

What did the leaders do?

Why were the players so apparently apathetic?

Don't forget: complains about people derailing his training threads while obnoxiously doing the very same thing here. It's a thread about the state of the league, people are entitled to discuss it as they please.

Back up what Saty?  Gee you talk utter tripe.  He is more than entitled to be disappointed, angry, frustrated etc. with our performance last week, and he is well within his rights to post it on a forum.  It was relevant as he referenced how a side was playing today, which goes in the around the grounds thread.  Maybe if you don't like it then you shouldn't reply and let it go through to the keeper.

And the lack of speed we suffer isn't between the ears, it's on the legs they run around with.

He was whingeing, joining the small not very select group on here who do nothing else, I said the whingeing was boring, an opinion I am also entitled to....highlighted, you seriously have no idea do you

So how come you're entitled to your opinion, but he isn't entitled to his?

[SaberFang 7,151]

Collingwood players down by 32 points in the last but jogging around the ground, completely uncompetitive.

What the hell has happened to this team? They aren't bothering with their usual end-of-season fadeout this year, they aren't showing up in the first place!

Saints looking fantastic though, there's such a fire in the belly of their youngsters and their senior players really do lead by example. Tackling pressure has been immense, and they nail those inside 50's with scoreboard pressure. We would do well to learn from this unit.

Not to mention that the Saints have played the entire second half with Riewoldt and McCartin.  They have just wanted it more and run harder to each contest.  The Pies look as though they've gotten well ahead of themselves.

He is, you commented on mine, I commented on his, I commented on yours,  your comprehension skills seriously need work, bit like Collingwood's effort at the moment, one team turns up the other doesn't......end result........it's a simple game footy, if only supporters listened to what Roos says......now if Collingwood manage to lift and overrun St Kilda who have exhausted themselves playing like that for 3 quarters....what will it be....... good coaching?

Geez, because there's just so much positivity to discuss after our stunning upset defeat last week, isn't there?

It's a discussion forum where people can express themselves however they like. If you don't like it, leave!

You told him he should stop posting if he didn't like it.  That's the very definition of telling someone that they aren't entitled to their opinion because you believe he is whinging.  What he posted was his opinion and, last time I checked, it's not your job to tell him that he shouldn't post because of it.

You're the very definition of a hypocritical poster.
