how good are richo and his saints going? 57-7 in the first quarter. made our first quarter against the eagles look competitive.RudeBoy wrote:Correct weight inky.
I'd just add, that besides our opening loss to the Swans, despite losing to a few middle of the table teams, we have actually been competitive in all those games, even against Carlton last week. A club is in crisis when it is getting smashed each week. Despite our horrendous injury list, Bucks has had us in winning positions virtually every game since the Swans drug saga debacle.

I'm a Sinclair fan but i thought he was disappointing last night, especially given the downhill run. Perhaps those two weeks out with concussion cost him a little sharpness. I hope and expect he'll be better with run and carry next week.58pie wrote:Needs some fine tuning if we are to get anywhere near the cats.

terrible game ...no atmosphere...for a Collingwood game
we won but..twenty something behinds
4 points ..nothing more
talk about anything but footy. a relief from the bullshit we hear and read everyday and it made the win so much better because it was over in the second 1/4.
well done pies, thoroughly enjoyed the game and the atmosphere the pie supporters bring to town.
no second chances

I thought what he did he did well. Didn't get enough of it, but there weren't too many opportunities for a defender in that game.Mugwump wrote:I'm a Sinclair fan but i thought he was disappointing last night, especially given the downhill run.

Agree, he has great pace and god knows we need that. I love that he goes straight at it. Hence unfortunately the concussions. Do you think he might take Motlop or Menzel? I to hope Reid is back to help out this week though.

Started well then faded, i thought. Oxley did a lot more damage from a similar spot amd opportunities.AN_Inkling wrote:I thought what he did he did well.

Agreed. As many have already stated, the critical run and carry and spread was evident last night. Let's hope we see it again next week.jackcass wrote:Well that was a step in the right direction. Need to improve again to compete with the pussies next up.

Totally; show us the money Blair, and we'll get off your case. Deal?Big T wrote:Yes Blair played well. But he generally does against crap unaccountable sides. I would like to see him step up against some good sides, starting with Geelong next week.

Rarely bother posting in the game on thread, way too much anger and emotion for my taste.Jezza wrote:I must admit even though he does raise some valid points from time to time I'm skeptical if he's a genuine supporter.Bob Sugar wrote:I reckon Jez is, knows to much about our history not to be.Mugwump wrote: Well, some are - Thomsoc is a Collingwood supoorter, and so is Bob Sugar. I am a lot less convinced about the Jez called Wolf. I think they have a different opinion about Collingwood - my opinion is that it's the greatest club and the one i support. Their opinion seems to be the opposite.
The fact I didn't see him post once tonight in the game on thread makes me doubt whether he's a genuine Collingwood supporter or not.

Disagree. Watch a replay. Look at all the little things he does. Played his role and that doesn't always mean run and carry.Mugwump wrote:I'm a Sinclair fan but i thought he was disappointing last night, especially given the downhill run.

Happy to hear it - what did you see as his role ? I thought it was to give us run and line-breaking speed out of the backline. I really like the kid, and i think that he, Oxley, Ramsay and Willams will be the talented core of our running backline in the years to come, so I'm pleased if his actual game yestrday was better than i noted in passing.
