  1. Gawn - reasserted his dominance Viney - impressive tagging role Petracca - excellent second half Billings - important and effective May - dominated his opponents Oliver - prolific and important McDonald - was impressively dominant Salem - better second half Rivers - less fumbling today Chandler - took his chances Pickett - important, not prolific Langdon - continued mediocre form Lever - strong and resilient McVee - reliable and steady Howes - continued impressive performance Hore - made transition seamlessly Brown - a welcome return Windsor - learning the ropes Van Rooyen - limited but effective Neal Bullen - some important touches Sparrow - was rarely noticed Fritsch - disappointing kicking skills Woewodin - had little involvement
  2. Grundy was noticeably far fitter looking than he was with us.. he looked primed, whilst for us he looked a plodder
  3. Gawn - was surprisingly monstered Viney - take first options Petracca - only in bursts Bowie - great until injured McVee - loose and fumbled Sparrow - fumbled and loose Oliver - great despite adversity vanRooyen - had no impact May - important but limited Fritsch - our only forward Lever - poor under pressure Salem - promising first half Langdon - had little involvement Billings - had no impact Neal Bullen - couldn’t get involved Windsor - a promising debut Howes - lots to like Schache - little to like Spargo - rarely got involved Chandler - nothing to impress Tomlinson - played his part Rivers - performance to forget Laurie - never inspired confidence
  4. JVR’s first half was very exciting. I suggest that along with Salem’s impressive performance in the middle ,a position he hasn’t played since his junior days, the 2 were the biggest of a myriad of positives from last night.
  5. Gus was the heart and soul of our team, and along with Max, seemingly the most popular amongst the players… and supporters. Huge loss😰
  6. The good : Brown, Windsor, Verell , Picket in the middle, Viney, Gawn’s first half, Petracca when he could be bothered, Lever The bad: fumbling, poor forward entries, Rivers , McVee , kicking for goal, missed targets, May, little sustained pressure, Lawrie’s disposal , Tomlinson impersonating TMac’s lack of agility .
  7. Kick it high into the forward line.. nothing’s changed
  8. I attended my first preseason training this morning in hot and breezeless conditions. I’m not a big fan of training techniques so I’ll concentrate on some observations on individual players, and let others comment on set plays. My initial observations were very pleasing: TMac has certainly changed his body shape (and hairdo) looking much lighter and running comfortably; Tomlinson is generally not noted for his agility but a dedicated summer of training sees him looking lighter and quite fast too. Tholstrup looks and trains like a man on a mission and his repeated efforts certainly don’t go unnoticed. Bowie has muscled up and his kicking was a weapon Rivers looks supremely fit and continues to give the impression he’ll play more midfield time this year . Not overly impressed by the fitness of McAdam who seems to be coming from a fair distance behind the others in fitness Petty likewise to McAdam seems a fair way off match fitness, understandably.
  9. Can anyone please advise where training is tomorrow.. I’m too lazy to trawl through the training thread
  10. Yes, I noticed his finer shape and no bandages. he may very well be the surprise packet of the preseason
  11. I might be late to the table with these comments but I definitely see a striking similarity between Koltyn and one of the all time great Demons of the past in Alan Jakovich : Size, shape, mullet, goal kicking celebrations, and cockiness. We can only hope and pray that we’ve landed another potential superstar
  12. Pride. My daughter insisted he wasn’t there
  13. Was Clarrie present at this year’s Brownlow event?
  14. I feel dirty but I’ll learn to cope… I’ll be selling a heap of Collingwood memorabilia right through until preseason next year.
  15. one of the coaches this weekend fits that category
  16. Sparrow seemed to apologize to Walsh for forcing him into the fence and giving away a totally unnecessary and match defining free kick in the last quarter🙄
  17. Bowey - consistent and reliable Brayshaw - important midfield addition Brown - ruined by injury Chandler - failed with inconsistency Dunstan - couldn’t impress selectors Fritsch - needed more impact Gawn -our outstanding leader Grundy - a major disappointment Harmes - something went wrong Hibberd - gave his all Hunter - a welcome addition Jordon - limited, probably gone Langdon - an inconsistent year Laurie - didn’t take chance Lever - strong and composed May - powerful and consistent McDonald - had nothing left McVee - first year revelation Melksham - turned back clock Neal-Bullen - consistent, not outstanding Oliver - great until injury Petracca - a consistent dynamo Petty - cause for optimism Pickett - disappointingly limited output Rivers - exciting times ahead Salem - a poor season Schache - had limited opportunities Smith - versatile and involved Spargo - probably went backwards Sparrow - tough and uncompromising Tomlinson - had his moments Turner - certainly looks promising van Rooyen - more strength required Viney - great until finals Woewodin - deserved more opportunities
  18. Gawn - overwhelmed and outplayed Viney - disappointing and careless Petracca - couldn’t lift team Oliver - disposals regularly amateurish May - dominated his opponent Salem - tentative and loose Rivers - lacked expected drive Langdon - continued disappointing year McVee - calm under pressure Pickett - hard to rate Lever - controlled the defense Spargo - some deft touches Chandler - little impact again Fritsch - just some cameos McDonald - couldn’t justify selection Neal-Bullen - seemingly no role Tomlinson - effective albeit loose Bowey - poor under pressure Hunter - couldn’t provide connection Smith - provided some energy Jordan - had no influence Sparrow - an almost game
  19. Unfortunately the local Balinese commentators weren’t available for the telecast
  20. I’m not sure if this has been mentioned earlier here but both Patrick Dangerfield and Jason Dunstall incredulously protested in the SEN coverage, of Maynard’s innocence, and the former insisted it was in fact Angus’s duty of care to protect himself! 😱
  21. Gawn - an Herculean effort Viney - quiet after first Petracca - amazing second half Oliver - many irrelevant possessions May - passion and heart Lever - had little input Bowey - an important game Rivers - was surprisingly quiet Salem - slow and loose McVee - often out positioned Smith - had limited opportunities McDonald - needed more involvement vanRooyen - will be suspended Fritsch - still wearing moonboot Pickett - an almost game Neal-Bullen - was rarely sighted Sparrow - better second half Chandler - little to praise Hunter - slow decision making Hibberd - slow but tight Laurie - was seemingly overwhelmed Langdon - better second half
  22. Turned up for buffet breakfast this morning at The Maya in Sanur, Bali, resplendent in my sleeveless Dees’ top, and was immediately greeted by 2 calls of ‘Go Dees’ 💪
