The worst thing about the supposed quote, if that is what was said, is that it demeans Richo as a coach for putting down any opposition team that way. He actually said that it was St Kilda's best win in three seasons. He can't have it both ways and I'm sure that's not what he said in the rooms and how can Michael Gleeson know anyway what was said in the room? Very poor article by a journalist I put in the same boat as Robbo.Pies4shaw wrote:I neither quoted Gleeson's analysis of Collingwood's problems (laid out at length elsewhere in the article) nor endorsed any of it. I simply communicated in substance (albeit it ironically, of course) that I don't like reading those sorts of articles. Why? Well, because it indicates that our club is in (to be put it politely) some very difficult waters, at present.BucksIsFutureCoach wrote:Actually if we believe quotes like that about what was said to the StKilda players after the game, we should also believe what Robbo said about up to 11 Collingwood players testing positive to illicit substances. There are good journalists around, just not Michael Gleeson or Robbo. The best footy journalists are ex-footballers. Talking footy last night had a lot of analysis on the plights of Collingwood, Richmond and Freemantle and both Tim Watson and Wayne Carey are much more highly perceptive on what the problems are.Pies4shaw wrote:^^^ Based on his first three weeks, Treloar looks like he may be a poor man's Beams.

Meanwhile, I really love seeing this sort of stuff written about Collingwood:
"Damningly, St Kilda cautioned each other after the win not to be overly excited by victory for the quality of the opposition was so poor. They spent the game waiting for Collingwood to come at them to harass and pressure them but at every turn Collingwood instead folded back and ushered them forward."

This really is a terrible take, if you don't see where Treloar is better than Beams you're just not watching closely enough. For one, you keep mentioning "one paced" while Treloar has definite acceleration. Sure you haven't been watching old tapes of Beams by mistake?Pies4shaw wrote:^^^ Based on his first three weeks, Treloar looks like he may be a poor man's Beams. I've seen nothing to like, so far.
Well done boys!

Don't confuse your current path with your final destination. Just because it's dark and stormy now doesn't meant that you aren't headed for glorious sunshine!
Time for the likes of Treloar to get off media telling us about the colour of his superstitious pair of jocks each game and get some better heat going forward when the heat is on. Too much man love amongst each other and not enough bravery at the contest and more telliingy, when you have the ball, to take the game on and trust the man you are sending it forward to. The start of the season has lost me for the first time since NB took over. Vrarcoe Sidey and at least three others in this week and throw everything on the line. Another effort like that and the season is s
hot.
hot.

That is a great point Dave.Dave The Man wrote:Treloar was Heavily Tagged and you see that with only 5 KicksTreloar - fantastic in the first two weeks but was hardly sighted when it matted yesterday. Was he too hurt?
We gave up 2 likely top 10 draft picks for him.
He will be heavily tagged at Collingwood
Will he be a champion or a good ordinary player?
This is the million dollar question.
we don't eat our own at collingwood we just allow them to foul our nest.

But will he be a champion given that he will be heavily tagged from now on?

Of Course he is not. I just said he was Tagged and that is why we did not see the Run and Carry we did in 1st 2 Games.BucksIsFutureCoach wrote:You neglect to say that Treloar had about 25 hand passes.

Beams is a shotgun, Treloar is an AK47. Both have their pluses and minuses. In the end they are both guns, albeit different types. If Treloar gets to Beams level we will be mighty satisfied. If he exceeds that we will be over the moon. At this stage however we won't see the best of Treloar until we get back our best version of Pendles methinks. Sidey and Varcoe will help though.AN_Inkling wrote:This really is a terrible take, if you don't see where Treloar is better than Beams you're just not watching closely enough.
