No pressure at all being applied there - Luke Dunstan I think needed to go a bit harder re the spoiling attempt

    Whilst true that Dunstan should have applied more spoiling pressure it appears as if both Weid and Mitch Brown were left alone in the square. Having no idea what the drill is here it is extremely difficult to make any accusations on a tiny clip with zero context. Having said that ... Where are the key defenders? Salem seems to be minding Brown which is a mismatch and Dunstun (a mismatch for Weid - maybe that's the point) is coming in with the flight of the ball. It doesn't appear that he would have been Weideman's opponent but sure he should have applied a bit more pressure.

    Well   The club must just do it again. Only so all the doubters can be assured that the mighty ducks.  Sorry. Dees are indeed the best team in the land. But I concede your question. To win in WA when I was not there,  did it really happen or was I dreaming 

    In fact, the club will have to do it another six times. NASA had men land on the moon six times and there are still disbelievers out there.

    It's bloody pleasure to hear him speak to the media this year. We have more than a few quality speakers at the club and whilst I can be a bit of a language snob surely clearer communication must make it easier for the leaders of the club to really convey their thoughts to the younger lads and generally fire everyone up and inspire confidence. Rewatched Making their Mark recently and looking at the stunned mullets in the Richmond meetings and inability to really say anything at all apart from the word 'obviously' (which according to 90% of AFL footballers belongs in every single sentence) made me very proud of the likes of ANB, Trac, Lever, Gus and even Gawny despite his self confessed lack of vocabulary. Even our less confident speakers like Oliver seem far more switched on compared to a lot of other players out there.

    Mind you i'm not completely one eyed, i'm aware the likes of Bont, Sloane, Riewoldt, Hawkins etc etc etc speak extremely well, I just think we have more than our fair share of really switched on footy brains

    Nibbler speaks SO well! He is a great communicator. He illustrates the mind set of the group really well.

    Yes, noticed he and Koz sprinting forward to provide an option or to apply pressure. It was unrewarded running but I saw this a bit last year and they don't care if they are used/involved... the definition of selfless! They will go and go again because it's the one time in 20 that what they do rewards the team by them being there. Pickett in particular would be a joy to coach, appears to really listen and implement what the Coaches are telling him, while the Coaches give him permission to take things on when he thinks he should. No ego, just confidence and a willingness to do whatever is required for team success.

    When you have 19 and 20yr olds doing this, that's culture!

    One thing I loved about playing footy was doing and seeing the unrewarded running especially into defensive 50.  As you said de, the guys at this age and with Dog teef doing it at his height is something to behold.

    • 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.
