If you have 2 guys on the bench, you only have 2 rotations. So they might not usually have been rotated, but they certainly affected the rotations of everyone else. To imply that because they aren't usually rotated they don't affect rotations doesn't make sense. It IS the reason we couldn't run out the game.

David King post game said - Pendlebury and Sidebottom failed the test today and richmonds pressure was too good for them.
There's lots we could have done better or differently blow ever this comment left me stunned.
Is there a bigger flog now in footy.
I challenged him on Twitter and he first tried suggest it was out of context, he then tried to say he was talking about first half.
Moron.

Played well for three quarters, before fading away in the final quarter due to injuries.
The progress we've made this year has been fantastic. Sometimes it's easy to forget how far we've come when you're immersed in the season, but this club is seriously going places. I truly believe that after years of doubt that we were heading in the right direction.
Richmond and West Coast are the benchmark at the moment. No shame losing to them, but I think we've played well enough over the course of the year to be worthy top 4 contenders. With injuries hampering us, I think there's still much upside for us.
Grundy was outstanding in the ruck. Some 'experts' wrote off Pendles during the off season, but he's playing as well as ever and proving them wrong. Thomas is becoming a goal kicking machine. WHE once again impacted the scoreboard and good to see Coxy get some reward on the scoreboard as well. Stephenson was kept quiet, but he's had a great season as a first year player so you can excuse it.
Injuries are killing us. I just don't know how much more we can take before it breaks us. We've withstood it brilliantly this year and ploughed through it when so many teams would have fallen away significantly. Very worried about Scharenberg's prognosis.
In saying that, we need to regroup and now focus on a Swans team who are enduring a major slump at the moment.

King is a flog. He was on AFL 360 on Wednesday night, and didn't give us any chance of beating Richmond. Just dismissed the body of work we've produced thus far.
For crying out loud, he thought Carlton were closer to a flag than we were at the start of the year

Man I want another shot at these bastards with a fielded side closer to our best and no in game injuries.
We can beat them.

Agree 100%. Richmond should be very afraid...

Most commentators, such as King, simply look at the final result and frame their comment around that. clearly, King observed that the Pies had lost by 4 goals, so thought that a comment such as " the Collingwood midfield succumbed to Richmond pressure" would be consistent with the final result. It has become apparent to me that most of these commentators have little or no overall perspective, or if they do are not brave enough to say it because they want their immediate comment to look like it confirms the immediate reality.
That is why I actually applauded Mathew Lloyd's recent article in the HS. He hates Collingwood, yet in this article he rose to the level of overall perspective, and commented that the Pies have the capacity to match Richmond.

Embrace the horror guys, we're screwed.
History's a good judge, Moore-Elliott-Reid-Varcoe will be in rehab again before to long, hope history's wrong BTW but i'm doubting it, just isn't our year.
We really need to make some hard/brave/cold calls come seasons end.

Yeah look. No doubt it has an impact in that manner. I'd reckon the bigger impact as far as rotations goes is that a mid (for example) would have had to stay on longer as he needed to spend extra time on field pinch hitting down back. Fair enough.
Still think the bigger issue was that we lost 2 of our most important intercept defenders. If those 'outs' had have been spread across different parts of the field, it wouldn't have been as much of a problem. |

Reid has a one year extension. I agree with the philosophy of waiting and working through a tall man's soft tissue issues, so it is worth sticking with Moore. Varcoe looks like he's reached the cliff edge though. Struggles to get through a month of footy and doesn't have a shadow of the impact he used to. Pity. I liked what he brought to the table
Elliott... Tough call... At this stage, you'd have to persist. He'll never be the gun he promised to be prior to his back but he can and most probably will be a fair bit better than average.
And yes, I think he can get his body right in due course. |

Doesn't matter who you lose, they have to be replaced, you always have to rob Peter to pay Paul, rotations wouldn't change much between losing 2 mids and 2 backs, you're still down 2.

Losing 2 backs affects your back line (obviously) and your forward line, because they aren't getting a rest for the rest of the game, all the rotations will be limited to your onballers, except your rucks, they'll be asked to rest forward.
We did well today, proud of the boys, given an ounce of luck we'll best them next time.
