No top four now. Was always a danger game and with four players pulling out beforehand there was a strong chance of an upset. At least now we don't face a qualifying final at Seagull park or Box Hill.

Wow wasn't expecting to come back and find that result.

Pretty disappointing.

Disgusting by VFL Side.

No one deserve a call up to the AFL

Did Seedsman man play?

Collingwood was too small around the ball all day - only Kennedy looked like getting a consistent clearance and he was often having to do it with 4 against him.

Witts kicked a lovely banana goal in the first but didn't impact the game much after that. At his size, he needs to learn to use his body to control the contest physically or he will not take the next step.

White was good, although he obviously faded playing at FF later in the game when the ball ceased to come in.

PK was moderately good, Goldie was below par, Caff had a solid return, the trainers occasionally left a life-sized cardboard cut-out of Paul Seedsman on the ground (perhaps to fool the interchange stewards?) but it didn't fool any of us, Scharenberg played the same underwhelming game he's played in every single one of his VFL performances, so far, Cox was alright (just alright), Armstrong was good. Young and Dwyer did a bit. If Manteit played, I didn't see him touch the ball.

The last 40 minutes was just excruciating. They led by 6 goals just before three-quarter time and plainly had the scoring end in the last quarter (save in extraordinary conditions, kicking to Yarra Falls end in the last quarter is a substantial advantage, all other things being equal), so that was an unacceptable finish to the game.

First rule of going - don't take young kids if you want to watch the footy.
Got there at quarter time and left at 3 quarter time.
Bit shocked by the result as I thought we had it in the bag.
But again the VFL side has a crap last quarter.
Are we up to standard with our fitness with both of our sides.
White had a great 2nd quarter.
In full flight he is awesome.
BenKen actually kicked 2 long goals amazing!
PK has talent, he often only needs one grab of the ball.
It is called clean hands.
Seedsman is gone!
Cox needs to build a tank.
Witts is slow.
