Edward Langdon

In the 4 minutes he played as a forward, he took a screamer of a mark and subsequent goal, set up the Langdon goal and the Kozzie inexplicable miss. Imagine what damage he could’ve done if played all night as a forward.

Spot on. The longer the season went on, it became abundantly clear that 2021 was an aberration for Collingwood. An exception to the rule. In fact I could see signs as early as their comprehensive round 2 win against Adelaide that they were going to be shooting right back up the ladder. However, the media will keep feeding us the narrative that they came from absolutely nowhere to make a prelim.

The mood on this forum has been feral today and a few posters have gone the man rather than the ball today, no doubt about it. Definitely some bullies on Demonland, without naming names.

Exactly right. They’re a proven quality side that simply had an off year in 2021, with off field issues all over the place. No doubt every man and his dog will predictably write them off against Sydney, despite going the distance against the 2022 premier elects in Geelong.

Yes please to Logue.

Agree with that, except for the getting smashed bit. Collingwood will be competitive against Sydney next week. Make no mistake.

Freo’s forward line is as dysfunctional as ours. Their inside 50 entires are just deplorable as ours. Collingwood are a team that plays the G beautifully.

Excellent, rationale post.. Out of that list i’d be mortified if we turn into the next West Coast who have fallen off the rails. There’s a lot of work to be done for us to forge ahead but I’m confident we have most of the pieces in place. The fitness is the most pressing issue IMO. You can’t argue that there isn’t a correlation between fitness issues and poor 4th quarters.

I thought Langdon played well. The culmination of a fantastic season by the young lad.

The whole booing fiasco of Petty and Zorko was cringeworthy. The clubs (at least) publicly resolved the issue and the crowd should’ve left it at that. All it did was spur on Zorko who played well.

The fact that BBB has a confirmed degenerate knee, and we have JVR, T Mac and possibly Petty as legit forward options, may well the spend for him.

Freo winning tonight will ease the pain a little. If we have to go out in straight sets, let’s bring Collingwood down with us.

C’mon bloke. Thats a bit uncalled for.
