Im a believer in Sier.

Am hoping that he comes backing tip-top shape and makes an indelible mark in 2020.

I'm not such a believer in Sier. But then I'm a lousy judge of young footballers. I never thought De Goey would amount to much either.

I get the feeling 2020 is make or break in general for the club. Collingwood has "backed in" a lot who struggled this year a d were 50/50 at best ... (Sier, Wills,Reid, Broomhead, Varcoe et.al I would add Thomas as I am just not sold on him.)

IF 2020 does not pan out as we all hope it will....and the club has a sniff that maybe Clarkson is gettable ...watch out ..I think we could see a huge list and coaching revamp....just feels like the club and coach have willingly pushed all the chips in for next year...back in this list and coach and trust that bodies and talents click.

Interesting article and normally something we don't usually see.

<Snip - That's, perhaps, because it's behind a paywall and republishing it is a breach of copyright - for which we can be sued.

I presume the link you have used is either: https://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/afl/afl-round-3-results-collingwood-defeats-brisbane-lions-by-25-points-at-mcg/news-story/436e4269eb7249c9014da53c1d7a969b

or some related link, perhaps from the Herald-Sun.

In future, please post the link, not the article.

Thanks,

Not least the line: "Copyright Nationwide News Pty Ltd."

Sums up the difference in work rate between us and the top teams.
We are not far behind, but it’s just a few of those brain fade and lazy moments that have been most costly.

This article perfectly points out the reasons why guys like Mayne are key players within the team with their football IQ and work ethic.

Sier is a “nearly but not quite there” type of player. The ball is in his court whether he wants to be better.

I don’t think Sier will read all that. He’ll get to through the first paragraph then go play basketball.

Like everyone, I was agonizingly aware of the Checkers and Brown errors, but didn't notice the Sier one. Maybe he was out of gas by then - it's obvious he is still not able to run out four quarters. However, at least some sort of semblance of effort should've been made.

Yep, with the tv cameras focused on the play, viewers rarely notice what is going on at other parts of the ground. Good that a journalist noticed Pendle's strenuous efforts to give on field leadership. Pendles must have been furious at getting no response from Sier.

In the replay of the last few minutes of the game, I was especially interested in how the Lions player was able to mark virtually front and centre of the goals in the dying seconds. ALL our defenders were bodied up on their forwards, except one. Poor Noble had lost touch with his man in the traffic and was metres away from him when he marked it. Noble had played his heart out and provided good service, but that one lapse would've haunted him after the game.
