Spot on.
We win in spite of Buckley's coaching and game plan due to the brilliance of individuals. It takes freak goals and the efforts of one individual for us to win these days.
We'd be better off with no coach, no structures and just getting the players to play football. |

^ yeh, take the shackles off and just bloody go for it, attack like buggery, throw caution to the wind, be unpredictable, arrogant, cheeky, just have a red hot go, hang the consequences. !

People need to watch Grundy performance tonite.
His attitude was completely different than the last few weeks.
He was absolutely determined.
Without him tonite we would have easily lost. |

I agree, but unfortunately it takes confidence to do this and as I mentioned before, along with MM, the boys have lost that vital commodity,(courtesy of the f***ing Eagles). |

I noticed this too!!! He was back to attacking, scrounging and fighting for every possession, like the Brodie we know and admire. |

Treloar injury a blessing. Shouldn’t play again this year based on form. |
You should try watching the game. |

Was a gutsy last 6 minutes to score the winner and take the victory. And a sorely needed one at that. Thanks Daics for that goal and for winning that clever holding the man free kick shortly afterwards to seal the win.
We are just a team lacking in confidence, you can see it in them. Too much uncertainty what to do with the ball so they often just flip it off to someone else. Games with high congestion don't generally suit us as we don't have enough big bodies around the ball. I mean, we are missing three of our very best and that will hurt any team. Richmond can't win a game without Dusty full stop.
If we had of lost tonight then the season would probably have been shot, but a winn will give us confidence to keep going. I just fear that we are running out of foot soldiers. |
Great post - sensible and insightful. Confidence not effort is the huge problem, no doubt WC drubbing has had a dramatic impact. |

The brilliant Rich game plan only managed 4.10 against the Swans. |

Wish Josh had 35 on his back kicking that goal. How the legacy of that jumper is tied to anyone other than PD and how it's used is terrible. Presti will only ever be a footnote on the #35 jumper

It was torrential rain and they were missing half their team.

This team does not do anything for me unfortunately.
I must say I was bored and not impressed in the last 5 minutes. Definitely not sitting by the edge of my seat for this version of Collingwood.
As for Daicos, fantastic goal to seal the win but some of his other work, particularly in the first half was very poor. A great goal doesn’t overshadow the rest of his game. I know he’s young so can continue to improve, but let’s not ignore the rest of his game because of a great goal against a very very poor opponent.
Overall a poor performance once again by a team who have faked their way through the last year.
Wheels have fallen off and it’s sad to know that Buckley will never win a flag at Collingwood.
Now the task of getting myself interested and excited for the Crows game next week.

Good call. Nobody talks about ( losing ) confidence because it’s not a tangible commodity. It’s in the same basket as experience as you can’t buy either of them at the local 7 / 11.
These guys don’t lose their ability overnight but the relentless pressure that has been applied to us over the last three weeks has taken its toll on our confidence levels. You fumble a couple times and you start to lose your self belief. Then your bad decision making or execution only puts your team mates under more pressure.
We’re in a slump and it’s up to the leaders and coaching panel to turn it around. A bye would be very handy right now. |

This ^^^ looks on the money for me. Noone is willing to play on instinct anymore, they're all second guessing themselves. Daics included earlier in the game, had a couple of chances from 50 to have a crack at goals and hesitated and did the stupid team thing and farked it up.
In the last quarter, not only that goal, but a few times he bit the bullet and played on instinct banging the ball forward. That goal was pure class of a natural footballer that was instinctive, instead of &%^%&%^& around going backwards or looking for a handball like it looks like has been drilled into them.
Let them play Bucks, let them play!! |
