Got no one to take his Place Though |
It's interesting how we can see the game differently. I don't think Langdon is that bad RH. Sure, he's not the fastest player out of half-back, but he contests valiantly and as Dave says, who else could you put there, except maybe Mihocek. |
Fling aimlessly into packs that that we already outnumber to leave your man alone on the deck to mop up the crumbs is deplorable. 9 times out of 10 he fails to impact the contest an simply gets in the way before being a non player once he crashes to the ground. There’s ‘contesting’ and there’s SMART contesting. |
However, he is the first player picked in the back six every week.
Appleby 7 clangers from 10 disposals (seriously, I just had a look) and you want Langdon out?

Play like that against the better teams & then you’ll see... |
That's a long way from the match thread, before the bludging set in:

Go Pies! |
Cue: the Adams miss in front of goal, then the four consecutive goals to the Suns, which gave them hope.

You kidding? Suns won the clearances and he turned it over most of the time |
Disgree, thought they hit most of their targets by hand and foot tonight, not bad for a team in the bottom four; WTF was our excuse for that shit we served up for half way through the third?

You are of course correct on all counts; Adam is irreplaceable, and we looked as slow as treacle without him.

To be 10-4 and 2nd is a remarkable achievement by the club relative to the expectations of most people at the start of the year, but the real challenge starts now as to whether we're a proper contender or not... |
Spot on Jez; if somebody has told us at the end of round 2, that we'd be sitting W10/L4 by the end of June, and Mayne would be in our best players each week, you'd have fallen off your chair laughing, bordering on an asthma attack, even if you don't suffer from it!
Personally, I haven't yelled at the TV so much since round 1 against Whorethorn, such was the sheer ineptitude with general disposal, and inability to win a centre clearance against this mob of psychologically fragile shit kickers.
So if this win against Palm Beach-Currumbin High School makes you happy, then you are easily pleased; and that's fine.
But it fills me with dread for next week's task, I assure you.

Are you sure you're not exaggerating the 9 times out of ten RH?  I take your point if that's the way he attacks the game all the time, but I'm not sure that's entirely correct.
Either way, it probably doesn't really matter .... who can you put back down there at the moment, while injuries are taking their toll? Maybe if Moore can come back and play some decent football, he may be replaced. |

Already moved on. We looked awesome in patches. Dunn injury might be what cements Moore into the side

Scharenberg's spot has his name crossed out and Moore's written over the top in red texta. |

I agree. Appelleby is a deer in headlights when a sniff of pressure comes his way.
Compare that to Sier’s composure on debut.

You back on the Schaz hate train? He’s been outclassed by bigger bodies in recent weeks, but was back to being very good today for a 20 gamer.

As good as some of these youngsters are, we need to start getting players back and quick smart. The next month will prove whether our soft draw is the reason why we’re currently second (excluding the Melb Win). Unconvincing wins vs stK, WB, Carl and GC are hardly things to get excited about, but the Melb game is. No Treloar will be telling I fear. |
I'm not targeting you RH ... truly... but Cox, Stephenson and Scharenberg do not belong in that list of yours!!! They stay in the team IMHO regardless of who we can get back, as long as they can can remain injury-free of course. Each of them has fully contributed to where we are at the moment. |

Sier certainly has a future - the problem, short term is that he's a bullocking inside mid and what we actually need is outside run.
If Murray picks up his disposal tomorrow, I think they've got to look at playing him on a wing. |

What a magnificent team effort it has been to get ourselves into 2nd position at this stage of the year.
We look every bit of a real competitor. Unfortunately, ultimately I believe our injuries will cost us the ultimate chance to win a flag.
This latest injury to our full back in Lynden Dunn will most likely be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
Could you imagine if we only had 2 of the following group out;
Adam Treloar
Jamie Elliott
Darcy Moore
Travis Varcoe*
Lynden Dunn
James Aish
Daniel Wells
Alex Fasolo
Ben Reid
I firmly believe that if we had two injuries of the above that we would be as close as a certainty for a premiership as you can get.
I am as flat as a tack. I now go to Collingwood games fearing injuries and spend a lot of my time worry about who will go down next.
I know that Bucks has said that Dunn has a jarred knew with some damage to be revealed by scans, but let’s be honest. It has ACL written all over it.
The frustration is real. |

Just want to applaud two brilliant pieces of play by Collingwood boys tonight. Josh Thomas's contender for goal of the year .. okay, maybe a bit of luck involved in slotting it, but it was a mercurial passage of play. Tackled, then stopped the loose ball from going out and kicked a blinder off one step. Eddie Betts like!
The other was the one handed mark of WHE. Had me gasping at the pure audacity of it.
It's such a great feeling to once again be leaping out of my chair and raising the fist in salute of such great skils.  |
