It’s not usual to go straight from a wedding to a wake. There really aren’t many reasons to watch it. The score line flattered us. |
Thanks, shall delete it as soon as I’m home!! _________________ The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions. The time for level headed comment comes after. |

People think I'm a negative hater.
But I don't need to prove my Collingwood credentials, but let's just say they are skin deep, if you catch my drift.
This is freakin' painful!!!
I actually supported Bucks up until last season. But even I knew when to say when.
I've been to the member forums. I've asked Bucks questions on the microphone.
This is just sh!t.
I mean c'mon. No Scharenberg all pre season? WTF? No Brown or Daicos to crumb Cox I50? Smith is in our future plans? Really?
Maynard back to defence? The fumbly 'elite' Crisp inside D50???
Is Bucks taking the piss???
I loved the man as a player, supported him as a coach, and even smirked a satisfying smile when he reappointed cos that romance of him finally succeeding is still on me. But no more. He, Eddie and Hine must go. _________________ Est. 2002 |

We could seriously be 1-7 or 0-8 |
I think you're being generous saying the Blues and Lions games are 50/50.We could easily lose all of those games. |
Ever heard of optimism and positive thought Raw Hammer? |
Oh, I'm sorry, after tonight's performance I'll make a chicken wishbone wish and hope like hell that we're going to defeat the top 4 teams of last season, plus Essendon on ANZAC Day, who just beat Adelaide last night.
What part of pre season and tonight's game rings false with ANYTHING I've typed on this forum to date. I pretty much watch EVERY game of every team every week. This sh!t ain't fun to write. |
Yes Raw Hammer ....you have articulated the same issues for a number of years now.
And guess what???...you were completely right... but others think otherwise.
Maybe they should look more at the scoreboard. |
If you knew anything about the history of Collingwood, you would know that we have rarely won against the Hawks in recent times. We just don't handle their game style of short, precision kicking very well. I just don't think it's time yet to get one's knickers in a knot. I have optimism (yes, that word!) that we'll have better games than this. |

The sense of deja vu is strongest at the Board level throughout the recent history of Collingwood (say from the 80s on).
There are ways of trying to stop this periodic rampant unprofessionalism. Those ways need to be implemented. |

Actually, I appreciated this more lengthy explanation of your position Raw Hammer. Thanks.
I just get tired of your continual, one sentence negative remarks, but this I can identify with. |

I don't see it as megalomania - more of a refusal to give in or to give up. |

Perspective.
It was a poor performance, no doubt about that.
- They were not too far off their best 22, and they are a lot better than their performances last year suggested. They’ll finish top 8 unless age. Takes its toll on them through the year. We lacked Elliott, Fasolo, Wells and Greenwood from our best 22 That’s a load of talent.
- sometimes you have a night where things don’t go your way. Langdons free against and pendlebury’s miss were both defining moments.
- we tried a two ruck setup tonight and it didn’t work. It cost us big time. We won’t try that again.
- Crocker is going to make it. We have needed a good mid size forward for a long time now. He’s AFL quality.
- Murray and Stephenson both put in excellent debuts. It is hard to have any impact on debut, but both showed something. They will add vital pace to us as the year progresses.
We played around with our structure today and paid the price. We’ll be better next week. _________________ Two more flags before I die! |

Penldes looks like a player who knows he has played his last final.
What an absolute wast of one of our greatest ever players. _________________ I hold a cup of wisdom, but there is nothing within. |

Hawthorn matched us in the contested ball area with both sides finishing with 167.
We were always going to be in trouble if they did this as this is meant to be our strength and the type of football we wish to play.
We seemingly lost to them the same way we have for the last 7 years with not enough pressure on the ball carrier
They won the uncontested by 35 and that's game over I'm afraid with their ball use ability and forward line. _________________ He's mad. He's bad. He's MaynHARD! |

I am going to wait a little longer before I make a definitive judgement. I think that the main reason we lost so insipidly tonight was our total failure to apply pressure, both on the man and the contested ball.This was our strength last year. The pressure applied across our midfield on the opposition was pathetic, and not at the requisite standard for an AFL team. We seemed to lack the vision/planning/anticipation to be at the ball when it went to ground, and often when we were there, our tackles were embarrassingly brushed aside.
Our kicking skills were also poor, but in my view this was not the major reason that we lost.
What is the reason for this total lack of intensity? Compared to the games I have watched thus far in Round 1, our lack of intensity is a real outlier. I find it inexplicable... and it is not attributable to lack of key personnel. That is why I will withold judgement until next round... could just be a need to adjust to the intensity and pressure of AFL standard football... _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

An inability to recognise the obvious, maybe? It’s a mark of stupidity, not character - that’s for sure. |
