The first quarter was some of the worst football I've ever seen us play, under any coach.
Just didn't see the second half coming at all.
It was great to be excited at the football again. Can't remember the last time I felt like that.

There are some mental demons in the group, that is clear enough. I have never seen a team so collectively afraid of losing a game as that first quarter. The result of that fear was completely self fulfilling.
This team needs a string of wins like nothing else. A few weeks for the plan to settle and sink in.
I couldn't care less if we move Buckley on as coach, but I do feel for him as there is absolutely some glaring inconsistencies in effort and application in the player group. I feel Buckley over coaches in response to this, continually changing things... which doesn't help.
The players as a group, with the coach should analyse this game to death during the week - as the couldn't possibly be a clearer representation of how to play and how not to play.

Well said. Aish went up in my estimation a lot after that and that helped set the standard. He'll be all right, that kid.

mate, id say about three quarters of Nicks did, might be some egg on mooshes tonight, one of our best comebacks ever.  |
I'll wear it. But the football deserved it. It was among the most incompetent displays, on every level, I've seen from a Pies side in fifty years of watching.

Bloody fantastic effort after the 1st quarter. Just bloody fantastic! Should give the boys some confidence. Very brave by Aish -outstanding bravery.

Yep, for sure, it could be fear of losing. I grant you that. They play too carefully. Plus, most definitely, there can be no other explanation for their inconsistency from quarter to quarter than their mind set.
However, I think with some of them it's also laziness. They think they are playing a lesser opponent and don't throw themselves into it until they really need to. I realize some may think this is unfair criticism, but some of them eg Sidey, DeGoey and Treloar don't show the same attack on the ball until the chips are down (or they realize they have to be on from the start against a good opponent).

Seriously, anyone who questions Pendles as a player or leader...
I just can't fathom it. The guy will go down as an all time Collingwood great

Jesus, Mary & Joseph it's hard being a Pies supporter. The first half I wanted Buckley sacked & the second half I couldn't sign him up soon enough.

Agree completely. Bucks made special mention of that effort in the presser. Wish they'd all play like that from the very start of every game and for four quarters!!!
Goldie, being the throwback to 2010 that he is, puts his body on the line every game 100% of the time. So happy for him that we won for his 150th.

As bad as the first q was they didn'tdhrop there heads. Worked their way back in the second q. Third q was back to what they were about v the cats. Great to see them go on with it and get that hawk monkey off the back. Many more to come. Might still get something out of the season.
