A little fun fact from the game.
The two players who covered the most territory for both teams on the day were Sidebottom ( 15ks ) and then Jaicos (14.6 ) Both are our wingers and both were instrumental in presenting as extra support over the entire day.
While I’m in agreement that Sidebottom isn’t quite the same player he once was ( which is totally understandable at 33 ) his efforts to still get up and down the ground can’t be questioned. |

Jez, perhaps he meant by Collingwood, and not the other sides.
Even so, I was thinking about a North Melbourne game from about 10 years ago, where we were getting flogged, until Elliott produced a 2nd half turn-around - remember that one? _________________ M I L L A N E 4 2 forever |

I'm no stats person, but a turn around of 73 points, having been down by 31 and then winning by 42, is certainly one of the biggest turnarounds by any team which I can recall. Then again, I can't remember what I had for breakfast. |

On the socials someone was condemning both clubs for not doing a guard of honour for Chelsea Roffeys 300th game as a goal ump. _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |

Maybe you're right, Dyso. It was difficult to extrapolate what he was saying.
You're referring to the Round 9 2015 match where we trailed by 39 points at HT, and went on to win the game by 17 points.

Fair call., The players congregated around the outer wing area and looked like they were going to, but alas, it didn't happen. _________________ Fighting against the objectification of woman. |

I have to admit that I’m also in that same group and still haven’t gotten over the blatant cheating that happened and the AFL’s totally apathetic attitude and response towards it. I cannot imagine a better view than I had of the kick, having got a last minute ticket that was literally in the very last seats on the Southern Stand high up. I was directly behind the kick and it looked like it was going to miss but at the last second faded towards the goals and went through about a foot inside. I remember the opposition fans initially all bowing their heads in sadness and when it was then called a goal, they went ape shit laughing their arses off in relief. That experience taught me to never forgive and forget any atrocity done to me. It was blatant, unambiguous cheating 🤬 _________________ I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️ |

Thats what I thought too. Looked like they were going over there, but nothing happened. Did someone bugger it up and tell them too late? _________________ A Goal Saved Is 2 Goals Earned! |
