That prick of an umpire let his ego sway his decision to "get back at Collingwood" after Sidebottom didn't hand him the ball back. Terrible umpiring and umpire Nicholls should never be allowed to umpire another Collingwood game.
With 10 minutes to go being 25 points up in a low scoring game, Collingwood should have won however injuries and a terrible decision got us in the end and cost us a win and to be honest we were lucky to get a draw after the Fremantle player missed a pretty gettable goal to get the point that drew the game.
I'm impressed with the form shown by Harvey Harrison who looks to be a player of with terrific future potential. Joe Richards has really surprised me and is performing well in his role of a pressuring forward. Will Parker looks to have the "right stuff" to make a player and should be a lot better with a pre-season or two behind him.
Ed Allan looks a real chance to be a great player to me. I think it's in Collingwoods benefit to get as many games into Allan asap. He is a classic footballer who will be better for playing at the high level.
I've been a great fan of Beau McCreery for a long time, but he just hasn't been able to build his endurance and he gets caught out when he has to expend some high intensity effort for more than 30 seconds. This lack of endurance is common for powerful explosive players and thoughts of playing McCreery in an on-ball roll should be shelved until he shows he has developed his tank to enable him to do the gut running required. In the meantime having him as a high pressure small forward suits his physical condition and he has a touch of brilliance that should help Collingwood win games if he is managed correctly.
Lachie Sullivan is a good battler but I fear there are good reasons why he wasn't drafted earlier in that his finishing work isn't good enough. Apart from being the unfortunate player involved with that ridiculous umpiring decision he had two opportunities to kick goals that good footballers take and those two misses, along with poor shots at goal by Mihocek, Shultz, Frampton and even Nick and Josh Daicos, cost us the game as much as that terrible umpiring decision.
Coming up against Footscray at the horrid Marvel stadium this coming week with all our injuries will be a very hard task. which makes the lack of an extra 2 premiership points from this game even harder to take.

I watched Craig’s presser after the game and the calm plus positive approach was interesting
I am sure he doesn’t dwell on the result and rub it in —he knows that they know their errors in general play but is more about what things they did right

Talks more about Joe Richards an Charlie Dean rundown tackles
Or Harvey,s good play And Parker’s delivery to Bobby to set up a goal

He’s a unique person our coach

[think better]

Now we have to start worrying about our percentage!

^ BT is always getting people and facts wrong. The man's severely intellectually challenged, but then so is Richo, and when they are on together, oh dear me.

At the risk of bringing it up again, I thought the footage On The Couch was instructive. They clearly showed Nichols getting shitty with Steele for leaving the ball on the ground beforehand so no surprise he cracked. I wasn’t so upset about this whole thing until I saw that footage.
