De Goey had a Shocker.

Treloar got lot of Ball but ball use let him down
Really? :shock:

I call bullshit on that, sorry.

17 disposals, 5 tackles and was in and under working hard for most of the game. I thought it was a blue collar game and he worked hard, which was great to see.

De Goey, Crisp, White, Fasolo, Grundy, Treloar and Moore all missed shots they should have kicked. Cloke missed 1 he should have kicked. Why does he get the special attention? He might not be the best kick in the world but his performances week in, week out for a decade, demonstrate that he's the best CHF Collingwood has put on the field in the last 60 years.

I was unable to watch the game, but I am in awe of our team. what an amazing victory, against the odds. It confirms the talent and courage that we have in our team. I am just so looking forward to watching the replay. And I am so happy for Travis Cloke. Just what he needed.
Just hope that Faz is OK.
Go Pies!!

Aish showed incredible skill a couple of times, today. He won some contests that he should have lost and he has better hands than any of our mids, save for Pendles and Sidey. I was very impressed - they can't all get 30 disposals a game - it is what they do when called upon that matters.

MEDICAL ROOM
Greater Western Sydney: The Giants appear to have come through the match unscathed.

Collingwood: Alex Fasolo, back in the side after overcoming an arm injury, was on the bench for most of the final term and had trainers looking at his left shoulder.

Best win of the year. The results have not quite been there this year or last, but I have seen enough to suggest the personnel and game plan is there for us to be successful. Every time we've got it right in a game we've blown the opposition away, including the Hawks last year. As a young team without any stability it's impossible to sustain this, but that comes naturally over time, so I'm pretty happy with where we're at - the only concern is our tall forwards: will Cloke be competitive long enough or will our younger players develop in time?

It was absolutely awesome to see Cloke somewhere near his best. I hope anyone suggesting he doesn't have value in the league or for us was watching that game. So glad we went with our form forwards and dropped Cox who has really given us nothing in his time in the seniors. Kicking the odd goal is of little value if you're not doing all of the little things that someone like Cloke does and Cloke's worst game this year has been better than Cox's best for that reason. Outside of a few goals, Cox has provided very little.

Having Adams and a forward line back really made a difference. Cloke, White, Fasolo, Moore is a major upgrade on Cox, Crocker, Witts etc. And Brodie Grundy :shock: was amazing. Has been in very good form but took it to another level today.

Howe was great, Sinclair good again and the midfielders worked together and smashed their counterparts. Such an encouraging performance all round.

I saw him play in the last quarter, so I certainly didn't notice anything.

I hope he hasn't aggravated his shoulder injury if these reports are correct, but here's hoping the reports are entirely wrong.

Absolutely agree. The kid has vision and time and the work ethic you want. He's not obvious but if you watch him, we got a good un there.

Make no mistake, we will beat the Giants tomorrow and the football world will experience shock and awe as they witness Collingwood finally waking from its slumber and begin it's inexorable rise up the AFL ladder. Pies by 18 points. 8)

Aish did not dominate, but what he did, he did well. Positive signs for the future.

I'm also looking forward to seeing a bloke called Scharenberg come back with bionic knees next year.

You mean our second ruckman Mason Cox who has kicked 15.7 from 10 games, 78 hitouts and 24 tackles? Compared to Trav [bless him he turned back the clock today] who before today from 7 games had kicked 7.9 and laid 15 tackles...

I think we need them both in and its Moore who will need to play Gunstan for a while on the flank. Hopefully Cloke is back permanently and we can enjoy the fruits of all our labours with Cox kicking them from close range and Cloke kicking them from long, with Moore kicking them from everywhere.
Get back on top.
