The only positive I can take from the game is that Vera in on ABC 2 & I don’t have to watch Fox Footy
Pedestrian and ordinary. Second to the ball for most of the game and they were full of energy, pressure and taking the game on.
We looked tired, our game plan looks tired and it’s time to move on.
Decent draft picks are in order

| Don’t forget, Freo have a two week break so could afford to play their guts out, whereas we have three more games to play this week. That was the difference |

And no doubt Buddy will be cleared to play.
I look forward to Reid destroying us again, and potentially Franklin too.

This has been coming for over a year now so we shouldn’t at all be surprised.
2019 was a spluttering mess with only a few players dragging the list cloggers.
This year, we’ve kept the list cloggers and have slowly but surely fallen apart in a embarrassing fashion.
There’s only so long that you can carry average or non contributing players and unfortunately for us, the dam wall has broken.
A rebuild is needed as this list will not win a flag.
Overpaid players have ruined what was looking like a rise out of the misery of Buckley’s early years.....but alas, this club and it’s stupid decision making has come back to haunt us once again.
I have been supporting this club for over 40 years, and this current version is
my least enjoyable to the point where I’ve turned games off early which I’ve never before done (even in the 90’s).
Disillusioned with the players, coaches and board.
This is not what Collingwood should be!!! 😡

Need to look to the future. Play the kids.
Season is finished.
No more JT.
Sorry but Mayne needs to go as well. Really adds very little. He is a tryer, but that is all.
Bring in Murphy for Mayne.
Unfortunately Bucks has had his turn. Agree with the get Clarko sentiment. |

Are you serious? We couldn’t ‘afford’ to go hard cos we have a game in 4 days?
Funniest thing I’ve ever read.

Maybe we should open up the axe bucks as coach subject again... I've been holding off for a year or two but holy fu*k wtf is going on this is the most winnable year in decades and we aren't even close to the mark...

The constant handball
We have had 10 years of this. Maybe our time was 2018. |
Yep, we’ve pissed up another decade.

If I was an opposition supporter, I'd be taking tennis balls to throw on the ground whenever Buckley takes the field.
Grundy, I counted one effective tap. Might be time to get a ruck coach. Pebbles ain't bo ruckman.
Treloar, I've said it all along. Racks up possessions and does nothing with them. Overuses the handball and constantly puts his teammates under pressure, causing turnovers. Play him on a wing where he doesn't have to move through traffic.
Stepho, play him on the other wing. At present he's regressing.
Sidey, need him on half forward.
IQ, Daicos battled all game.
Sier, experiment over. It only took one game to expose him, does not have a tank or defensive qualities to run both ways. Has set himself up for a big summer in the doof tents.
Keane, don't be wanting to get the tape of that game, a howler.
Phillips, what a cat.

This is scarily close to how I’m thinking, we play for the paypacket, not the club. No hunger. No desperation. I love Treloar but seeing him laughing and Fyfe face, I kinda knew then.
The beams thing really pisses me off. So dumb
As for the off field shit, don’t blame Eddie for saying send anyone who breaks the rules home, blame the guys who broke the rules. I don’t think either coach should have been at the game. Neither should Cotchins have played this week. It’s not bloody brain surgery, they are not sacrificing anything. Maybe that’s the problem. Soft as butter.
I’ll take Maynard, Grundy and Moore our of that. But the rest. Start walkin! The Nullarbors a big bastard!

Fair call and seconded. You can't make really bad decisions like this and not feel the impact.
