After today, Pedersen is done. Has served us well but may as well get games into Weid now. Vince, Petracca, Hannan on a knifes edge.

There’s 3 definites I reckon, I added a potential 4th in the other thread. Need to remove player on the edge and reward VFL form I reckon. Today’s effort was unacceptable

In: Petty, Garlett, Weideman, Stretch/Tyson Out: Vince, Petracca, Pedersen, Hannan

Only 42 i50s jeez, how did we score 90+ i actually don’t mind Pies winning as they played well, but it infuriates me to see M Cox dominate, it’s actually embarrassing

Disappointing day after the efforts of last season. Goodwin was out coached today and players weren’t really on from the start. Collingwood are a good team with elite mids and well done to them. why Brayshaw wasn’t put in the guts after his current form beggars belief, he’s a natural mid and gets the clearances where we were flogged. i think Gawn and Grundy drew in the end. Smith had a crack and did the best he could i reckon, some great spoils and smothers and good marks towards the end. Think he’s more a flanker though. They’ll stick with him. I’d blood Petty at CHB, drop Vince and have Hibberd and Smith on flanks. Petracca another ordinary game, plods around, stuck in second gear and I’d drop to Casey for a decent stint to see how much he wants to play AFL. When chips were down we lacked leaders again, Jones just doesn’t stand up, lots of cheap posies like Lewis and Vince should retire. Jones was putrid today. Spargo kept us in the game in the second and tackles well, I’d stick with him and give him a run in the middle. Don’t understand the hate for him. Oscar going down didn’t help and Jetta and Hibberd can only do so much. Hogan was well beaten by Dunn, who we should never have offloaded, but he’s only had one bad game. A blip on the radar, now a rest and rethink, I do hope the slagging of opposition supporters and “what they’re saying threads” around here stop, we’d beaten up bottom or struggling sides and we must remember where we came from. A good win by Pies, they’ll go deep if injuries play the game. have a great couple of weeks people.

I’ve being saying all year he’s in cruise mode, stuck in second gear and Sylvia 2.0. He needs to move out of home and stop feasting on mummy’s pasta and take a hard look at where he wants to be as a footballer. Over weight, poor disposal, slow and now at 50 games and hasn’t torn any game apart. He needs 5 weeks at Casey to see how far away he is from his so called “hall of fame player” he wants to be.

6 Tmac 5 Jetta 4 Oliver 3. - 2. - 1. Smith

Second to ball all day, how can Pies jog to kicker and always be 10m in front. As I’ve been saying, we’ve beaten no one for weeks

No leaders today, seems like it’s a common issue when chips are down, Jones putrid

Can you please do a really negative post for us, seems to help! ?

We’ll see what the coach and players have in them now, look flat footed from the start unfortunately. We can’t play much worse and they’re playing out of their skins, should be 50 down.

Hmmm. Eerily similar to round 23 last year?

Looking flat already

80,000 through the gates already

“Start the game with an intensity that resembles the Melbourne Football Club” - Goodwin.

Same last year too, ridiculous to let it happen again!

Haha Goodwin gone to the snow

Same last year, how they could let it happen again is ridiculous

I’m nervous, haven’t liked the commentary in the last few weeks having digs at oppo supporters. We must remember where we came from, be humble and focus on winning. Thank god the “what they’re saying” threads have stopped. Let’s win, go to the bye 9-3 and rest some sore soldiers. It’s a long year with a tough run home, let’s not get cocky. Collingwood midfield is elite and they have some smart and skilful players, a real test today, go dees

How has his VFL form been? Can’t recall him being mentioned much.

Lynch is handy and Fogarty will be a player imo, still only a kid.

Sam PP run and evasiveness was handy for them last night.

He said the exact same thing in late April also and when interviewed by Garry on SEN this week got a little uncomfortable and couldn't give a straight answer. He's definitely considering bigger offers IMO

Jeez that Polec can bloody run
