Cox - need to find form somewhere other than in the AFL - massive liability - D Cameron would at provide a contest for our smalls.
T Brown - still need more size and is currently not affective at AFL level.
Wills - makes too many errors resulting in turnovers - How is Sier going?
Non performing player must not be gifted with game. Robert Harvey says we have great depth, well lets see it! _________________ Relentless aggression! |

WHE, Varcoe, Wills, Elliott, Mayne, Brown, Brown, Cox, Phillips. That’s 9 of 22. Hardly a recipe for success. _________________ Est. 2002 |

Agree we have too many out of form but it’s unlikely we are going to drop 9 players. Maybe play C Brown as an inside mid swapping into the forward line.
Varcoe should not have come in for Noble, possibly Murphy but I would have kept Noble. WHE and Cox big concern and should be dropped. Give Cameron more games. Swap Sier for Wills.
Elliot, Mayne, Phillips need to be on noticed that they will be dropped. _________________ Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy. |

Wills doesn’t know how to kick the ball. I think he is part of the problem of over using the ball through the middle. Get him out of there.
Fwd line is a concern but aside from an almost falcon Cox didn’t really get any good supply. We need quick ball movement, if you pressure us relentlessly and we don’t kick the damn ball, there’s no way we will win games. _________________ The match day thread is for unfiltered BS knee jerk reactions.

Our forward line is dysfunctional , i think, due to our hopelessly slow and defensive ball movement. JS, Elliott, need the ball to come in fast to be dangerous. It is no accident that Stepho kicks goals when we move the ball aggressively, like we did at the start. Too early to start abandoning Billie: he can be dangerous again. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

Don’t understand why Mayne’s name is coming up. He’s been very solid past couple of matches. Not going anywhere. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Tyler Brown has shown good signs. He's still developing. Maybe he needs a spell in the twos, but he'll be a good footballer. Think Josh Daicos. He wasn't up to it last year and plenty of people were ready to delist him. He still has a lot of work to do, but he has been great in recent weeks.
Even last week people were saying drop Nobel, he's not up to it. This week people are saying he shouldn't have been dropped. And when someone like IQ, JT or Sier come in and Collingwood lose a game, they wont be up to it.
Collingwood are first quarter kings. Then we fall to shit. And then we seem to play ok in the final quarter. We should have held on against Richmond and GWS. And we should have rolled Essendon too. Thats three games by a total of 17 points. Is it underperforming players or is it the game plan?
I think playing Cox on a wet night was a mistake. Mihocek would have been enough. But if Cox wants to stay in the AFL, he will need to start holding onto marks and kicking at least 1 or 2 goals a game. I think Sier will soon be the preferred midfield bull over Wills too.
But again, the main problem is our forward line. We must fix that! _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

Yes, our forward line needs a collective rocket up them, they are all performing poorly, not just Cox ALL of them are way below par now, we cannot tolerate anymore scoreless quarters. No way Jose. Not on. _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.
