Jack Vineys Anger Manager

Its really hard to judge from the cheap seats. The conditioning/ fitness department have a huge say in the wins and losses these days. We always have struggled pre and post bye. It's a wait and see for me. It's not who you play, but how long between games. Those stats look horrible, but we have been struggling as a team in that time. From rounds 1 to 10 we were probably in the top 3 for last quarters.

We got our identity back tonight. We beat them in clearance 40 to 36. Smashed them 14 to 7 centre clearance. Smashed them by 24 in contested possession. We had 18 more tackles. That was the best we have played in a long time imo.

It will either be a 60+ point win, or an unconvincing 15 point win. But it will be a win. Ideally, kick 100+ points and keep them to a low score, so we can get a percentage boost. Clayton and Koz will dominate. JVR will kick 5. Kolt and K Brown will give us a much needed energy boost. May will be May again. Max will be in beast mode. Our real challenges come later in the year, but not tonight.

If there is 1 game we shouldn't drop Petty, it's this one. North are light on for key backs. It's a chance for him to gain some confidence.

Reports that our best player, our only Norm Smith Medalist, future captain and his family, are not happy with the club. Yet the club remains silent. No statement, nothing. They must be busy.

Laura kane said on crunch time on SEN that AFL emergency doctors were involved on Monday as well. She is comfortable we did everything right.

We ended up kicking it to him, but missed the target by 10 metres. It landed on the chest of the saints runner instead. Another turnover.

No, but that wasn't my point.

Was brought in for our new method. Plays without confidence. Play him in the VFL at half back so he can learn to defend and get some easy ball. Like they have done with AMW.

The football department is responsible for our downfall. From coaching, strategy ,to list management, player management and fitness. They can't get out of their own way, in terms of bad decisions and stupid ideas.. It feels like the team is over coached, and maybe over trained. The players are so tense every week. You can see it. They play tence. The bigger the game the more tence we look. Its no wonder we never start well, or kick accurately. Its all incredibly frustrating, because we should be much better than we are.

What a disaster. A disgrace that our medical team let him continue to play imo. Moore showed a killer instinct. Something we lack. Get well trac.

Goodwin has been in charge for 8 years. 7 of them were failures. That is a fact.

How do you fluke a premiership? 25 games played. We won 20.5 games. Minor premiers. We won 3 finals by a combined 190 points. QF by 33. PF by 83. GF by 74. We did it away from home. It's one of the best premierships ever won.

This is worse that 186. We have stars on every line. Premiership players galore. It's a diabolical performance. Geelong were the best team in the comp in 2011., and we were garbage. Freo are bottom half of the 8 at best. I'm a positive footy fan, but this is a disgrace.

Jvr and Lever out and that's it. This is almost our best side. It's a death rattle performance.

This is a coaching problem imo. New game style doesn't suit our team. It's too easy to play against. How can professional coaches not see this? 3 goals in a half, in perfect conditions. 16 scoring shots to 6!! It's not working!!!!

Jesse Hogan.

35 inside 50s for a game. Against last year's Spooner's. That is a player and coaching fail. I personally hate our new game plan. We don't have the kicking skills, and we are so slow to move the ball from the back half , it allows teams to flood back. The eagle forwards were in our forward 50 way to often today. I don't mind our coach trying new things, but this style has changed us for the worst. Id rather 60 inside 50s and hope we kick accurately.

What a pompous jerk!

It was an out of character performance. I'm sure we will bounce back. I don't know why we had no energy, but I do note that the lions, pies blues, suns and swans all looked flat the game before their byes. Coincidence? Mental? Who knows.

Awesome win. I'm really happy for Jack. Also, great seeing Jay Viney sitting next to Todd in the crowd.

Collllllinggggwooood.🤮

In 2023 we averaged 44k for home games, and we're only behind the big 4 in total attendance with 907k. That number doesn't include the 189k in our 2 finals. Sam McClure only has to Google these 2023 numbers. But he won't.

She's out of touch with the supporter base. Read the room Kate! Don't praise Collingwood....ever! I'm sure Angus would agree with me.

Our media department all have ticktok brains. 1 minute videos with pegs, coins, forks, candles and Taylor Swift lyrics. Made for 8 year Olds. It's an insult too our intelligence.
