Cox should be dominating. The fact that he isn’t is one of the main reasons we have been just going this year.
His inability to consistently take marks is a real problem for someone who is the tallest player in the league. |
Maybe should start concentrating on this part of his game instead of all the ads and media stuff now. Bit ahead of himself perhaps. |
You can add Mr Media Street Adam Treloar to this list. |
His performance is falling away badly. Just the 40 disposals last night. |
Someone has already mentioned it. That was the worst 40 disposal game you'll see in your life!
Wouldn't be in the best 10 of a very average bunch. Can't believe anyone would give him a single vote... let alone 5 . |
You've never seen Tom Mitchell play, have you Skids? |

Treloar led us in
Disposals
DE from a midfielder
Most tackles
Equal most inside 50's
Ground ball gets
Pressure acts
Some people are really hard to please
He's now set a record for the most disposals by a Collingwood player at this point of the season eclispising Sidey from 2018
Interesting that at the same point Sidey DE was 69.4% Treloar's is 72.1% over the season and Treloar has 1638 more metered gained with 38 more touches than Sidey at the same time last season
We all raved about Sidey last season but statistically Treloar is having a better 2019 than Sidey had in 2018
Wonder why people don't rate his season ? |

I know he played 5 in a row before the bye, but he had 3 weeks rest after that and went down in the opening minutes of the game
Would be a real shame if he finishes his career on 149 games _________________ https://forever.collingwoodfc.com.au/sav-sinks-the-dockers/ |

Throw Maynard, Jdg and Crisp into the midfield.
Put Varcoe to half bank flank for the player who can break the line.
Put thomas to the vfl.
Put Sidey anywhere except the midfield.
Start thinking of putting Pendles forward.
Can't play Daicos and Brown together.
Crocker looked ok in the vfl yesterday.
At least he has some strength.
IQ won't provide any upside this year except we need to
blood him at some time.
The defense has been good all year so aish, goldy can fill that role if maynard and crisp go into the midfield..
We ned some ground ballers in the front half.
Who that will be I don't know. |
Yep Mason. MTTM and myself talked last night about Maynard, Crisp and JDG rotating through the mid-field, with Varcoe playing off the back line, so naturally agree with this
Agree with all else you suggest as well. Hope that Goldy and Aish are ready to go again this week.
I would expect after Crocker's goals in the VFL yesterday that he would have to replace Thomas.
How about Sidey in the forward line and WHE to the wing? I think Pendles still has to stay in the centre.
As you say, we still need to find another player from the VFL to replace either Browny or Daicos. John Noble? |

If anyone is wondering why we are looking so off the boil it can be summed up in 2 words NO ADAMS
He may not have the C next to his name but he is the inspirational leader of this team. This isn't a knock on Pendles
Adams leads the physical attack on the ball and demands others follow him
He does all the dirty stuff in the contest letting the outside mid's do there stuff

So true IMHO. |

Agreed, that was the real painful one, we had everything going for us that day, at the G, booted first 5 goals, yet still found a way to lose the unloseable GF. Had we won last yr, I would not give a damn bout this season, would hve been happy for next 3 yrs, easy, but missing our again, is a very cruel blow, I had hopes for this yr, but after yesterday, I just don't know now. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

I feel we are more like a Western Bulldogs than a Hawthorn. We came from a long way back like the Bullies last year and really had a belief and mojo thing happening.
Unfortunately we didn't take our chance and look to have lost our mojo, hopefully the next stage isn't to fade into obscurity. |

Just wondering also whether the team has yet to mentally recover fully from that very cruel blow??? The players would have to be almost super-human to find the resilience to move on from that. |

you might have also missed Langdon. I think we are seeing how much more easily we get opened up down back without our general back there. Such a shame his knee has degenerated. not sure he comes back. big loss. |
No. He didn't miss Langdon and most learned fans don't either _________________ I love the Pies, hate Carlscum |

Hard to put into words the woefulness of last night. Remember a bashing from St Kilda in 2009 on a Monday night that was the dogs breakfast, but the obvious ineptitude last night was palpable. It's left our season at a cross intersection:
1. We lose the next 4 in a row to the Hawks, GWS, West Coast and Tigers and only limp into September (literally)
2. Respond with brave selection integrity decisions, player driven ownership and a coaching game plan that shifts from conservative ball movement to some modicum of dare and flair.
Interesting times ahead. With injuries slowly and surely eroding our depth like very season since 2014, it may be time to add in:
* I Quaynor
* T Broomhead
* T Brown
* T Goldsack
over the next few weeks and put the heat on messrs:
* Thomas
* Varcoe
* Cox
Amidst the hopeful and eventual returns of:
* Adams
* Elliott
* Howe
The grind and graft begins today! _________________ I love the Pies, hate Carlscum |

Goldsack should only play if he's the last available senior player. Why pump games into the past?
Elliot is cooked....we need to make a hard decision on whether we can carry players who are physically fragile. He and Reid are at the tipping point.
Adams and Howe are welcome returns...when they return in about 6 weeks.
Cox has been disappointing..he's regressed in 2019.
Age has caught up with Varcs, and like Goldsack, perhaps we should consider whether we put games into him or someone younger. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

No one likes losing but losing like we did last night was unacceptable, and I don't care who's out injured. There's no excuses for playing that badly. You have to fight and show something. We showed nothing apart from how pissweak we are. The effort (or lack thereof) was unforgivable. We were comprehensively outmuscled, outplayed, outpressured, outmarked, outwitted - you name it. It was a weak insipid performance. They effectively bullied us for four quarters and allowed it to happen - offering no response. Anyone looking for the blueprint to beat us need only to watch last night's game. We really hope this team grows a pair and HTFU. I'm glad I wasn't there to watch that shit and don't get me started on that wankstain russell and his blatant barracking for the opposition. |
