Post match. Suns sink Pies - all comments

When does the succession plan succession plan begin?

[Deja Vu]

A black, black day.

EVERYONE associated with that performance - hang your heads in shame.

You were pathetic tonight and I while I want to say that you owe us for that performance, I know you won't deliver on that commitment.

Worse than the loss to the scum last year which derailed our top 2 hopes, I am just completely over this. I can handle the inconsistent performances that come with a changing side, but this inability to compete is driving me mad.

Continuous fumbling, turnovers, 2nd to the contest time and time again, failure to man up when we don't have the ball...

Just had enough.

We are kidding, right???

I am the optimistic Collingwood fan but this was the stuff of nightmares.

Too many players just waiting for it to happen.

What is the bet that this week there will be, " heart to heart" meetings and " lines in the sand" etcetera and we'll bounce back against the GWS.

Sides know if they can isolate our defenders we will turn it over. A classic example in the last where a senior player, one out, slid past the all in an unrealistic attempt to get the ball ending up in a Suns goal.

Another boundary throw in saw Ablett merely waltz past a player who stood there, motionless, with his arms out like a scarecrow.

Dwayne Russell, by the way, is easily the worst commentator to ever draw breath. A pitiful excuse for a commentator.

The optimist in me says this could be our last loss for the year. Daly, the realist recognises its back to the drawing board.

Might be time to play the kids.

Obrien, Brown and Blair back next week, but Grundy, Broomhead and Martin should get a look in.

By the way, if Caff is our tagged, why was he not played on Ablett???

The mind boggles.

Perspective.

A young team, with a lot of young players (and, let's face it, an inexperienced coach) who've been up for a long time but are now showing the effects. There was a terrible lack of intensity tonight, until the last 10 minutes, as though they believed it would come their way in the end, whatever they did. We also have several players returning from injury who are still way below the fitness level they need - Beams, Keefe, Ball and the Sack were notably quiet tonight compared to their best.

Suns are a love child team, full of fast-maturing top-ten draft picks who have shown signs of firing this season. GWS will do the same, eventually. They will surprise a lot of teams.

Buckley was also culpable tonight. Reid is a match-winning forward and it was criminal to leave him back for the whole game when we were getting pantsed, and GAblett is hard to stop, but it makes a difference if you at least try. He's a young coach who shows great signs, but has a long way to go. I think good things still lie ahead, though we need a few strong draft picks.

If we lose to the Hawks, Swans & Bombers & lets face it this team of 2013 are odds on to do so, then we can miss the 8. The rate this team has gone backwards in 2 years has been alarming to say the least.
Gutted again, but to be honest I'm getting used to piss poor performances from this team.

As long as we zone off the ball carrier & let them kick without pressure, then things will not improve regardless of personnel. As long as we Zone off the ball carriers intended targets we will not improve. This is as good as this team will get playing this style of football & it's just so disappointing to see.
I hoped we would be in a position to win multiple premierships after 2010, but the reality is we are nowhere near it & so many other teams have not only passed us but left us in their wake. I don't for one moment think that Gold Coast or Port Adelaide had better teams out on the ground than us, but they certainly have a better game plan & appetite for a contest.

So pissed off right now.

[John Wren]

c'est la vie. i've been very disappointed with the suns the last few weeks save for the north game. they can play and proved this tonight. we were just not good enough. another example of our inconsistent season.

enjoy ripping this place and the club to shreds. to each their own.

[Adz]

Eddies silence this year has been deafening.
Must come out and ripped the club publicly this week.

[rad]

Where do we go from here???? I am speechless.

Not one person can back that effort up with any positivity, season over and still trying to figure out our gameplan after almost 2 years with an A grade team.

[doriswilgus]

Disgraceful.We can forget about this year,and probably the next few as well.

That was shit
Macaffer offered nothing up forward
Sidebottom was a down hill skier with poor disposal
Cloke try raising your left shoulder so it is higher than 10 centermeters below your right. Maybe then you can kick straight.
Keeffe not good enough
Goldsack you offered as much up forward as Macaffer
Dwyer shit early at least got better
Thomas did little
Krak injured?

For all those who doubted N Brown tonight showed why he is needed

A truely awful night
