In Game thread v Bloose...comments here thanks

[London Dave]

my thoughts are it's far too early in the morning

[Joel]

Okay qtr. Started well. Rocca and Tarrant really need to have some influence. Went quiet late in qtr.

Collingwood 3 1 19
Carlton 3 4 22

[Eunos]

Need some of that famous magnificent Magpie fighting spirit to raise it's head.

[MOTR]

Too many skill errors.

At least most are putting their bodies into the contest, O'Bree the dishonourable exception.

[Big T]

Tarrant is getting murdered ny Norman. Rocca triple teamed - but creating good contests and is doing OK. R Shaw on Lappin is a major concern. Good effort but 2 goals for Carlton from mistakes - bad one from Rhyce plus Walkers holding the ball was a disgrace.

Licca doing really well, Leon needs to lift.

[Joel]

G Lyon said that they aren't respecting our midfield.

Good to see Collingwood playing football their own way, Stay CLEAR Of the corridor, Hug the boundary Line.
You idiots, If we arent chipping it up the boundary line then we are kicking it out on the fool. Dont blame numbers back because many other teams deal with the same thing alot better.
Iv been throwing stuff around the room for the whole first half, All I need to do now is bring myself to watch the second half.
This year is looking dismel, I also feel for my Dad who is at the game

Game Plan is killing us - Tarks got the ball in the middle and wanted to go up the corridor - but stopped as he MUST be going against the game plan.

OBree is probably the worst skilled player in the AFL - how well he hit the Blues defender in OUR 50 with NO pressure.

Taz - is he is not right must be not played until he is right as at the moment he is sub VFL standard.

Pebbles dropping chest marks.

If it does not get better in the 2nd half - we will be battling for the wooden spoon with the Hawks.

Absolutely disgraceful lack of skills by the Pies.

Failure to prepare is preparing for failure !!

[Joel]

We should just make the centre of the ground out of bounds, and if we go down the middle, we should just give a free to the opposition. Seriosuly, thats what we might as well do, because going down the boundary line atm is pretty much giving the ball to them anyway.

Collingwood 5 7 37
Carlton 8 6 54

[PeterWH]

We are getting killed on the 1/2 back line and the centre....otherwise to get a score it has to come from outside 50...no one there showing interest.

[Joel]

Umpire Goal Tally - 2, so far.

[KYPREO]

2 more Thats 4 goals to the umpires.

[Joel]

...and it's the difference - Pies 24 down.

[Joel]

Pies running like there is no tomorrow - kicked last 3 goals, 7 points down. Please keep it up.

[Joel]

Pies have kicked 8 goals this qtr, but still down by 7.
