Round 16 - Frankston vs Collingwood at Frankston Park

[woodisgood]

What went wrong in that quarter?

[MagpieBat]

Sounds like Fas should already have a bag. How's Thomas been?

Faz has been playing HB/wing. Yeah, he's had the 3 shots, 2 of them on the run, though. Agree, his kicking has been a little off. Had a heap of it that term, but wasn't always that good with it...

JT has been serviceable. Was one who started to lift in the 2nd half of that quarter. They're nutting us for contested ball and clearances though. Needs a big 2nd half, for his senior prospects and for the team...

[MagpieBat]

Do you think its strange that at a time when our back line was under siege, we didn't throw our potential 10 year KPB into the mix?

Not really. The club said he would play a half. They just didn't tell us which one...

Having said that, we could have badly used his foot skills and height back there in that quarter. We'll get them this term though.

What annoys me more is we're going 6v6 in an undersized back half. Dollies have some dangerous tall timber. Need to try generate a spare to help those boys out a bit...

[MagpieBat]

What went wrong in that quarter?

They nutted us in contested ball and clearances, put better pressure on, used the pill better.

The usual really...

If you're referring to the Berg, he is not a KPB. Also, I believe they were only planning to play him for the second half. The welfare of our future brownlow medallist is more important than VFL results.

[MagpieBat]

He's out there, Scharenberg has the tracksuit top off, is doing his warmup.

Brace yourselves, fanboy moment incoming...

[MagpieBat]

Scharenberg starting on the ground, and he's gone to Buchan at HB.

Collingwood trail by 7 points as we start the 2nd half...

[MagpieBat]

Fasolo's been switched forward...

[neil]

So Scharenberg actually exists



Thought he may be a medical room myth

Well he's playing at fullback

[MagpieBat]

Thrown-in 52 from home.

Grundy wins it, Dwyer, bursts through traffic... and sprays it badly.

37-43.

[MagpieBat]

Free kick to Williams on defensive 50.

Goes to the wing, good string mark by Grundy, who plays on, kicks inside 50 for FASOLO!

Good string leading mark!

From 51, DIF... GOAL!!!

Scores level, 43 all.

[MagpieBat]

Lynch, gathers, snaps, off a step, how will it bounce?

Through for a point...

44-43.

Not much choice there. Not like we have any actual KPB's in the VFL. Marsh is the closest thing to one but he's not playing

[MagpieBat]

Dollies bomb it to CHB.

Scharenberg gathers, off to Gray, who loads up to the square, Grundy can't mark, but Ferguson, out the back, picks it up, feints, snaps, GOAL!!!

50-43.
