We were stunned by the lack of intensity and pressure by the so-called top team. They played like under 12s.

Spargo is not badly out of form. Watch last 2 week’s games (not this week so much).

Why not?

ANB out. Viney back to VFL to ease back into playing footy. Pickett or Spargo out to rest. Angus Brayshaw out. Mitch Brown, Ben Brown, Melksham in. Nathan Jones in for Viney.

An absolutely atrocious performance by the so-called ladder leaders. Hang your heads in shame. Lack of effort, lack of skills, stupid play galore. Get real Dees.

I thought he was fantastic. We won it out of the centre many more times this week and not always because of his direct actions but his presence made them have to think twice and match up on him…

No. The booing might have made you think so. Try watching the game with no sound. They were equally fair to both sides. A lot of potential MFC frees were missed. Essendon fans are sore losers. But they sure are losers!!!

Apart from baring rather than barring!

Never forget Cox has single-handedly won two finals for Collingwood – the 2018 prelim final against Richmond and the 2020 elimination final against West Coast.

Meantime, Collingwood interim coach Robert Harvey has included Mason Cox to the Pies' side for the first time since round four to face Fremantle on Saturday.

Doggies should have not kicked to a contest with two minutes to go. Should have chipped it around and maintained possession

And please get Viney back in the centre too! How long can a toe take to heal? Chop it off!

“Nope. And neither does Collingwood, given he's fit but not playing.” Nonsense. He’ll be back

So you don’t rate Mason Cox?

The centre tap outs and clearances were mostly their way. They constantly had multiple players standing in space to whom an easy kick could be sent with no MFC player within cooee of them. Apparently this is zone defence. Surely when the coaching staff and players noticed that the opposition was taking multiple uncontested marks they would consider manning up more, especially in the last quarter when it was still possible to win. This was a very poor performance against a bottom four team.

Weideman isn’t cooked he’s just not up to it. Trade him.

Leaving their men free in clear space all the time to take uncontested marks was very disappointing.

They flooded their back fifty very effectively.

2 weeks ago Gerard Whately referred to the Collingwood vs Geelong game as the worst game of footy he’d ever seen, during the game. This was due to the Collingwood side’s poor performance and dour style of play. I agreed with him at the time. They were atrocious. But today they played out of their skins for Buckley. They won’t make finals.

Umpires’ goal for a fifty metre penalty that wasn’t there then a “mark” that bounced off the ground to Kennedy. What a joke win!!!

The umpiring in that game was appalling.

What professional qualification does Caroline Wilson have? She was the daughter of a Richmond administrator. Does she have a bachelors degree in journalism?

There is zero difference between a ‘commentator’ and a journalist.

Thousands of journalists have zero professional qualifications. They have secured a job to sell the news. That’s all. They don’t tell the truth unless it sells the ‘news’. A journalist is someone who verbally or in writing provides a commentary on current events. That may include some ‘analysis’ which is often just opinion based on their personal allegiances or personal biases.

She is frequently on SEN as a journalist, discussing football both men’s and women’s. She also has long discussions with Whately. Don’t be so disdainful of midwives! They aid the delivery of babies under difficult circumstances in hospital and in people’s homes. They do a great job. Many journalists have other jobs. What pray tell is your definition of a journalist? Have a listen to Dermott Bretton some time. He hates Melbourne with a passion.
