It was ranked a whole lot better before Nick moved there permanently. Who knows? Maybe replacing that 2nd year body with a more match hardened figure might help us with our CS woesHaff wrote: Seems our coaches were derailed with where to put Daicos to get him into the game.

Our midfield is ranked 18th. How’s it going to go without its best cog?
Pretty dire now. Will need a miracle.

We've gone from the Harlem Globetrotters to the Keystone cops in 2 games! Really at the G yesterday, you didn't know whether to laugh, cry or scream in anger. Probably did all 3 actually!
Not only has these 2 losses put the players' feet back on the ground, but a lot of the supporters too! I think we're all guilty of drinking our own bathwater this season! Back to reality now for all of us. If we are meant to go all the way, we will. Otherwise there's always next year!
To be fair, I always keep a lid on it.
Even with my Panthers, yes they’ve won back to back & looking the goods again this year, but still I use the pray, watch & wait approach.
WE WERE ROBBED, RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME, RIGHT IN FRONT OF MEEE!

WE ALL LOOK GOOD AT TRAINING, IT'S THE MATCHES THAT COUNT!

Crisp is the obvious one to replace Nick in the middle.And Degoey needs to improve his efforts by about 1000%.Geek wrote:It was ranked a whole lot better before Nick moved there permanently.

Despite the negativity, I draw many positives. Nick being out is a game-changer and our coaches now have to change the line-up and game plan. I am looking forward to this week and we are going to rock the opposition who think we are a one-team player. We shocked them at the start of the year with all our injuries and we are set to do it again. Nick will come back at the right time.

I agree with all others suggesting that Ginni should be selected next round. His selection allows Beau to spend more time in the midfield. Our priority is to strengthen our midfield, so the selection of Ginni allows this, and gives him a final opportunity to win a place for himself in the senior team.

Like it. The loss was shite and the change to the line up while unfortunate, will prove to be a game changer for the right reasons.Culprit wrote:Despite the negativity, I draw many positives.

I think you have made a valid point. With all the media hype surrounding Naicos, some of us might have come to believe that it will be impossible for us to win without him. We have forgotten how we adapted when our ruck division was missing.Culprit wrote:Despite the negativity, I draw many positives.

The next 3 weeks will be an epic test for our coaches and also for our sports psychologist/s.

I was thinking similarly, partly out of grasping for straws but more so because so many players roles have changed in order to accomodate Nicks “ gifts “.Geek wrote:It was ranked a whole lot better before Nick moved there permanently.

We’re clearly a better side with him in it but the truth is, we are lacking hardness and grunt in the congestion. Mitchell isn’t anywhere near his best for whatever reasons, so now is the chance for DeGoey, Adams, Crisp and co to win a dirty ball and just get it forward at any cost. The Cats have their injury issues too and they won’t be running us off our feet like the young Hawks did. Win the ball first and the rest will look after itself.

Haff, I have the very same feeling, it’s weird and I’m trying very hard to be upbeat and positive. But deep down, I can’t deny the sinking feeling that breaks my dear old heart that’s been good to me in my life. I hate that feeling but my head has worked out that it’s due to the past traumas of GF losses.piedys wrote:Inevitably at every flag tilt, the **** eventually manifests to piss all over our plansHaff wrote:The feeling I have right now I can only compare to 02, 11 and 18.

Bro piedys I have no idea how it all manifests but it does and usually it stuffs up our aspirations, but this time it won’t. We will win them all now until the finals start and then we’ll see how it fathoms. We will be back in top form.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm
