It is [censored] infuriating. We give a free kick away on our attacking 50 and we are so pushed up that the Saints take 2 kicks and 5 seconds to be having a shot on goal. Richo was laying into us.
Our defensive awareness forward of centre is getting progressively worse and has been an issue throughout Goodwin's reign.
Pulled out at the last second today. Really have no urgency or desire to attend the final few matches. Will be watching from home. But I've been to 8 matches this year and seen only 1 win (vs Carlton). Done for the year.
Fagan is coaching out of his skull atm. You just knew he would get them going at some stage. Even early last year. What did they start, was it 1-12 at one point? Unbelievable. I think they may even finish on top.
Maybe.. but the engine room for this style has played most of the year. We still badly need outside pace, a true line breaker, and some small forwards. We really should be throwing the house at both Hill and Langdon.
Collingwood board on Bigfooty is in meltdown atm.
There is a huge disconnect between Grundy and their mids atm. They are quite literally struggling in the same areas we are.
Media and bookies seem to be of the general consensus that we're better than our record suggests. We were as short as $2.10 against the Eagles last week. The Saints were further odds out against the Bulldogs. It's been the same each week.
That said the sharks will be circling if we lose this week.
