Round 3 - Collingwood vs Essendon at Victoria Park

[watt price tully]

Regarding Cloke. I don't know how you could judge anything on today. Hardly a game for him to get an opportunity to get some form. Playing the Bombers in AFL, would have been better.

I guess another stinking decesion in the end. Everything is just rank. Like a rotting road kill. Nothing is getting better. Only worse.

Yeah, couldn't get a read on Cloke from that. He looked lively in the first quarter and he didn't seem as hunched up when he was having his set shots. But after that it rarely down there and when it did it didn't go in with any precision.

based on what i saw, i am fairly confident we'll be seeing poor trav at cranmer street next saturday. forget about the delivery to him and the fact he looked like a christmas tree on more than one occasion. non factors.

So if the ball isn't getting down there & it is not being delivered how does a leading forward get the ball especially when he was double teamed a lot of the time. This is not to say there are not other factors at play. Even Eddie said on radio this morning even Gordon Coventry would not have done well on Saturday.

Without knowing details I presume that the following factors are involved:

* being dropped
* feedback through leading teams ie direct feedback from team mates
* the youtube video saga over the off season
* ? the effects of the hair testing
* the amount of pressure he places on himself

yes, i can see the issue. the game was on sunday so being at the ground on saturday would have presented additional challenges.

He needs to get back to flopping out his cock on social media.

Don't mind if I do!!!!

My reviews, which are decidedly more coarse this week. Love them, hate them, endorse them, destroy them. Maybe not all at once, though...

"Worse decision-making than Tony Armstrong". So, how far is Tim from his senior debut, would you say?

[MagpieBat]

^ The rate we keep losing blokes, he might break through in the next couple of weeks...

Eddie does know that Gordon is dead, right?

Not sure but Bucks has sent Cloke to Coventry.

Is the Sheriff really that quick?

He certainly looks nimble for a big bloke but I would have thought marsh or Varcoe would have him cooked for leg speed.

You mean Wyatt?

From what I've seen he is. Could hold his own in a footrace with Marshy and Trav, at the very least. But then again, those guys would wreck their hamstrings in a footrace anyway...

The ball wouldn't have got to him at all on the Saturday.

OK, in that case stop training him as a forward/ruck, put the boy on the wing. Are you allowed to play a 200cm wing?

^ If you want.

Worked (kinda) for Shae McNamara...
