I hate losing to these toffy shits I wish brown broke Jessie hogan's Lionel rose. Happy with treloars game I thought he got us back on terms , we need frost back in. Our bombing into the forward line was shocking.

Scowling Jack Frost is needed to put the brace and bits up the long skinny Daniher.

Very true he is our best lock down player he allows chop to create

I agree with Pies4shaw, he's not skilled enough and is to slight and again not skilled enough to be a decent defender, maybe if he was more clever... but he isn't. I'd trade him in a heartbeat
His skills have not failed him this year. With Reid's poor ball use today, he's now our number one user out of defense this season. Took some kick ins today and hit a target with each. His kicking is very good, even if he is playing within limitations.

Given our lack of a quick small forward, I think trying him there again instead of Blair would be a good option, if we actually had other fit defenders. Brings the pressure and is quicker and far more dangerous, got into plenty of positions to kick goals early in his career, just didn't finish. With his new found composure and safe ball use, I reckon he'd be very handy up forward.

Good call.

Blair has given us literally nothing in the role this year and Sinclair is quicker, a better ball winner, tackles just as well and may provide a goal or two from time to time unlike Blair. Hey it's worth a try anyway as Blair has to be dropped surely.

Didn't do much in the VFL today.
Still 5 m behind his leading opponent.

You know what? Yes I am bloody disappointed in our season thus far. Very.

Is it the coach? Is it the game plan? Is it the players? Is it the effort? Is it because dickhead Robbo named and shamed our players as drug takers?

Who the f#$k knows.

I know for one thing that I will not stop believing in and loving this club as I have done since I can remember when.

If anyone out there can do better than Eddie or Bucks step the f#$k up and take the responsibility.

Every club (and I mean every club) goes through something like this at sometime. Hell, Freo are 0 and 4 and they were considered top 4 and flag favourites. How do you think their supporters are feeling right now?

Do you think we are the only ones hurting? If you answer yes than you are a fool.

Sometimes shit happens and you don't know why.

The whole club will be hurting over our start this year but we must stick together through thick and thin, whatever it takes. SIDE BY SIDE.

I love Collingwood and will stick by the club no matter what. Maybe some of you could stop and think before you call for people's heads.

GO THE BLOODY PIES!!!

Dangles wrote:One thing I've noticed about Treloar is that he needs to learn how to stand up in a tackle and dispose of the ball with a bit more composure. He often gets it in traffic and blindly disposes of it without any clue about whose advantage it's going to. That's just asking for turnovers and they kill you in the modern game. That said there's more to like than dislike about him.

That has been his Biggest Knocks in his Game his Whole Career but there is still a ton to love

What if we play Cox at Centre Half Forward. Then we can force the stoppage after the inital centre bounce. Grundy then decoys becomes an extra midfielder ( Enforcer ) while Cox steps up and becomes the ruckman. Its not illegal and i see Grundy better in that role as we is quite capable of gaining 20poss 8tackle 20 pressure act game. Cloke would just have to drop deep.

Statistically I think any Joe Blow could have done as well as Bux.
This is the point of most posters.
We are going backward every year.
That is not a hard act to follow.

Spot On. Bucks is only there because of his Reputation as a Player and he is Best Mates with Edward

What did we think about Aish's game today?

After a quiet first couple I thought he was good today. Won some hard ball and used it well. A very promising performance.
