The decline in the squad and for that matter, the club, is alarming. Who is in control here??? Ffs, fix it up.

| skills are appalling and continue to let us down time and time again. we specialise in turning the ball over and that's the one thing Buck's has got right in the time he's been coaching this team, so we can't fault him for that; at least he's consistent there. |

I thought this was a typical Buckley era game.
Bad far outweighed the good....and another loss.
We are destined for misery for quite a few more years yet.
We are way off the leading teams and behind even the young up and coming sides.
There is not much to be enthusiastic about with this bland, boring, unaccountable, poorly skilled, mentally weak rabble.
Tony shaw era at least gave 100% even though it was ordinary.
This side has better players but plays worse.

34 scoring shots to 17....124 points to 62.
Doubled us! That's coz we only played for 60 effin' minutes!
Sorry Bucks.......but we need a motivator for this bunch of plodders.

Excellent bar 15 answered goals. There's an contradiction if ever I heard one.

Free kicks 28 - 19 (an unusual amount of frees), some pretty poor umpiring

That's a pretty good summary.

caved in about the time oxley and smith fell over. that segment of play had to be disheartening. i don't undertsand why ox doesn't kick long. at least three times he had opportunities to do so and two he took the safe option backward or sideways and the other he slipped over.

| Shameful display. The Comedy slipping act was funny to watch though and turned the tide of what could have been a comeback.Gotta laugh.Frost is the biggest spud ever to don a Collingwood guernsey and Nathan Brown must have pictures of someone because he hasn't a clue about full backing or football for that matter. And ain't it grand we've found ANOTHER turnover king in Smith??? 29 touches and just about turned them all over,not to mention his part in the comedy threesome.Levi Greenwood is woeful. indescribably bad. We're cooked and we need to get a full back quick smart. I'd like to know the free kick tally. I know we got shafted there as well. |

Final score was 124 to 62 with a late goal to Broomy.
2 good quarters and 2 shockers� Needed 4 good qtrs to have any chance. real Jekyll and Hyde stuff - or is that yin and yang from the pies?

It's part of Buckley's logical & planned progression.
He apparently stated over the break that you need at times to take 1 step backwards in order to progress 1 step forward, after all -2 + 1 = -1
Hmmm...  Then again he might not have thought this strategy through to it's logical conclusion.

The triple-slip and subsequent goal dampened our spirit for a long enough time for the Eagles to open the floodgates. Emphasises once again the incredible power of momentum and self belief in this sport.
Also emphasises:
KEEP YOUR BLOODY FEET. |

Boring, bland plodders - Josh Smith, thanks for having a crack, but another in a long, long, long line of Buckley plodders who just can't kick.
Capable of 1/2 an effort, but so far down the pecking order it's shameful
Not even capable of getting angry, just an awful club at the moment |
Me too, i just feel nothing watching this team. Even through the mini comeback I knew it would only provide false hope. So brittle under pressure, 3 guys slip over creating an eagles goal in the last qtr with the game in the balance and we throw in the towel. We allow a 3 goal contest (with the wind advantage) to cascade into a 10 goal flogging. No heart, no soul, no nothing. And it never changes. We start and end games so poorly, never give ourselves a chance.
