| We clearly blew our load last week, not that that's an excuse, but this was a loss that's been synonymous under the NB regime. Never seen so many of our players not give a f***k. |

At this point I'd be content to see some changes even just for changes sake. The last thing I want to see is this club go into 2021 with the same old coaching group and the same old playing group trying to grunt out 3 point wins by kicking 7 goals every week. If that happens again, in the words of Malcolm Blight, "I'll spew up!"
Harvey & Sando just have to be moved on now. If Bux is going to stay then it's time for fresh ideas around him. We have to go and get Cameron for firepower and a couple more mids for depth. These things just have to happen if 2021 is to have a chance of delivering a better result. Getting very tired of the status quo.

So what do you suggest? A new coach from somewhere (who is realistically available), new players either traded for, drafted or poached, and keep the few young players with unrealised potential? Care to mention some names from each category?

Sure they won’t admit that, but one has to wonder as the side was so flat and lacked run. Disposals was 356 to 200. |
Someone that's on the ball!! We were flat as a tac! Ive been flat as a tac, no matter how hard you try your always short of where your trying to get to... always a split second late...... The whole team played like that! We just have to wear it!!Not getting in the top 4 has made a big difference. |

Have to remember that we finished eighth - we were never gonna win the flag this year, happy it was not another grand final, happy it was not close.
Hoping that Port or Brisbane wins. Funny saying that, winning flags for us is like , well you all know what it is like. Can Port / Brisbane just waltz in and win one, making it seen so easy. |

That was embarrassing.
Unfortunately last week was the exception to what has been an underwhelming effort by the team.
This list and coaching panel need an overhaul because it’s shortcomings were laid bare for everyone to see tonight.
Stephenson is an absolute gun AFL player so the fact that he has fallen off the cliff with confidence and form is a blight in the coaching staff. He came in as a raw 18 yo and was an excitement machine until the coaches began to mould him into a spiritless and sad looking figure.
Imagine what Fagan would do with a player like Stevo!!!
There are a few holes in the team and coaching panel that I doubt the club has the balls to change.
Don’t be fooled by last weeks win. Yes it was an absolutely fantastic backs against the wall victory but we have been ordinary far more than not this year.
With the rumoured salary cap issues I really do wonder WTF is going on at the club. How can a club that hasn’t won a premiership and lost a PF last year in such a dire salary cap situation??
The post-mortem will no doubt be a typical Collingwood romanticising love feat that doesn’t address the glaring issues that are plaguing not just the team but the whole club.
Interesting off season coming up....and could Mr Peter Murphy please come forward.

WE were never, ever, ever, ever, going to win the Flag from 8th position, the Dogs did it, but that will be the only time in history. You need the double chance, win, and have a weeks rest.

The game was over at quarter time. Listening to the post match comments from Jonathan Brown and he’s saying that as a Brisbane player, he found it the most challenging returning to Brisbane a week after a big win in Perth. People so quick to condemn. We should savior the great win we had last week and move onto to what we need to do to improve ourselves next year. Considering the upheaval of the year with Coronavirus and all the travel we had and the players who were injured and didn’t play, like Howe and Sidebottom being stuck in Melbourne, the year was a positive. Daicos came on. We introduced Ruscoe. Quaynor won a rising star award. The negatives were the Coronavirus breaches, charges against De Goey, absence of Beams and the demise of some of the older players in Reid, Varcoe and Dunn who are no longer up to it. We’ll be a much better club next year when we blood new players in Randall and Bianco and give more games to Keane and Ruscoe. |
It wasn't over at quarter time. Definitely was at half time though after we pretended to compete during the 2nd quarter
