Petracca picks and chooses when he wants to show up, 2nd worse game I've seen him play behind the Freo loss. Gawn terrible, ANB an absolute momentum killer, Koz anonymous, the entire back seven were terrible tonight. Definitely not going back to back this year.

You were watching the wrong game.

That was the most painful loss I can remember in a long time.

12 beers and a couple of spliffs helps mate. 

Petty [censored] the bed in the end and cost us the losing goal

Frost-esque

+93 disposals.

+22 CPs.

+20 clearances.

+24 inside 50s.

+1 extra day break on our opponent, who was coming off back-to-back six day breaks.

That should be a 5-goal win, not a loss.

But we bomb it long and play a total momentum killer who is never dropped.

Hope your smiling now Salem after an easy goal missed.

Cant wait for the we will smash Carlton predictions.

We have won one game in Melbourne in last 10. 

Brayshaw 74% TOG

Jackson 69% & Brown 76% when we have one key fwd??

They dominate us again.

Leaders went missing when they came.

So many passages where we played without dare. Therein lies the difference. The number of times they rope-a-doped and streamed out from the back was embarrassing. 

Lingers, next time say nothing 

All the problems we've had throughout the last however many years are still there.

In a 7 point game, all the goals they were gifted by the umps was the difference. 

Well,  being at the game.   It was pretty enjoyable game tbh. Clearly 2 of the best 4 teams

They definitely got all the 50/50 calls in the last but it's the FORWARD LINE folks.

Is Joel Smith the saviour?

No should have played JVR tonight & dropped the momentum killer in ANB.

Once it got to the half way point of the last quarter it was so predictable. We fold so easily and react rather than push the point

Edited August 5, 20223 yr by david_neitz_is_my_dad

Goodwin was outcoached tonight. At the ground it was clear as day in how Pies setup for the sling shot. 

Goodwin did nothing to counter it. The forward pressure was way off as the just waltz it out and the game looked exactly like it did against the Dogs. 

This time we don’t have loading to blame.

People keep saying clubs are playing out of their skin and umpires and blah blah blah

 

nope. Collingwood have won 11 straight. 11. You don’t play out of your skin 11 games in a row. They’re they real deal. Manic pressure , elite kicking and super efficiency. Wish it was us!!!

our fwd line is a shambles and I don’t even know where to start with some decision making

jesus wept

what a farce 

But of course it’s just a game .we don’t have bombs raining down on our heads and stuff so yeah. Perspective

 

ps I hate losing to Collingwood can we please stop that Simon 

One team kicked straight from fewer opportunities, the other had more shots at goal and kicked erratically. In a close game, that always makes the difference. Misses by Gawn and Petracca were particularly costly, as was Petty's idiotic push which led to the clinching goal. And the final-quarter fadeout raises yet again the question as to whether the players are as fit as when Burgess was in charge of that department. I suspect not.

We had no structures. We were just bombing it in whereas they had structures in place. There goals came in front of goal.

We went wide.

Pathetic and shameful performance. 

We've learnt absolutely nothing this year. Complete flat track bully until too teams up their pressure and we crumble like butter.

Defence? What the actual [censored] was that crap?

Defence what game were you watching, we kicked 3 goal to 7 what the hell do you expect, had months to change it up but no, kick to pockets ignore guys running free on the inside, kick to packs after packs.

I wonder if it is the right decision to take Gus out of the backline. Worst game I have seen Petty play and Hibberd was atrocious. Pickett was very selfish and undisciplined. They should have found an excuse to use Harmes - all the other teams use their sub so I don’t understand why we don’t. We seem incapable of playing 4 quarters and constantly give up good leads. Alarm bells are ringing.

Petty, Hibberd, Kozzie, RiversSpargo, Hunt  nowhere near it tonight.

The thing that changed the game though was Gawn's goalkicking. Arrogant!

Don't blame the umpires.  We didn't take our chances and they did and we were outplayed.  

Losing to this mob is always the bitterest pill to swallow.  Goodnight all.

Let us not forget… their last 2 goals came from dubious 50:50 frees

Max missed one in front and there was a another

 

let’s no blame the umps this is on the players and coaching staff 

A complete reverse of last weeks superb defensive performance against the Dockers and a reversion to the dumb, fast shootout football that saw us last in near identical circumstances to the Bulldogs a fortnight ago.

Hibbo and ANB both had absolute mares tonight and we're still seriously struggling with our conversion rate inside 50. We scored from 24 of our 65 inside 50's while Collingwood took their chances and finished with a conversion rate above 50% (21 scores from 41 entries).
