Not having another mid sized marking forward on the list is an oversight. 
 

Not counting the super collectors in Melk and Brown 

 

We look very casual so far, reckon we'll play 1-2 hard quarters for the night and that will do it.

    Hey! Settle down! It’s 1/4 time in a PRACTICE match! 
    Carlton have much to prove. We have zero.

    Am I watching the same game as you blokes we had almost double the inside 50s and got unlucky a few times they aren’t even close to on top. 

    Except on the score board but that doesn’t really count in the wash up.

    agree but we are getting well beaten in the forward half and not allowing time for our defence to set up.

    Goal or slow it down that is what is forward line play.

    Last week we barely kicked a goal from broken forward line play

    If the new interpretations are anything to go by scrap them. The umpires have killed us.

    Why scrap them? They are good changes.  Speed the game up and stop backchatting the umpires

    The team must have missed all the AFL memos this week about the focus on time wasting, umpire abuse etc!

    Blues look fit, some structure and good at the fall of the ball.

    Good challenge to get us up for rnd 1 with a lot out of our the backline. 


    Que Goodwin thread....

    So far, a very ordinary performance. I can accept we can be out played on occasions. What l can’t accept is ill discipline and just plain stupidity.  We were out played in that quarter, but gave away two goals through unbelievable idiocy, from Viney and then HARMES. That is just unacceptable. 

    The other question l would ask is what happened to our legendary pressure. Almost non existent. I suspect a GF hangover, but l fear complacency. 
     

    they all should be getting a giant rocket from goody after that!

    As usual, the commentary is [censored]. Apparently only one team on the ground.

    Clayton unbelievably lazy and disinterested. 

    He can play footy. I don’t need him to prove it in a meaningless game and get injured.

    We look pretty sloppy and slow...

    Seriously the lack of discipline is very disappointing

    The 2nd string backline is not passing the audition at this stage I'm afraid…

    4 x 50m penalties as we slip to 29 points behind.
    How much of a lead are we giving them?

    Backline is a hot mess. No surprise. 

    I see this as a really useful hitout for selectors  and 2nd string defence to see who puts their hand up for limited opportunities in 2022 in the dees defence.

    Apart from that just get the cue in the rack for key players early as possible.

    • 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.
