Bunch of wimps
What a bumch of wimps we look like at Collingwood FC. Carlton throwed everything at us, including putting there body on the line. There we so many times when we chould have smothered kicks but instead just waved arms up in the air with the 'Can't be bothered to put in or we don't want to get hurt attitude' Tarrants confidence is down for no reason and missing simple goals that you can kick in your sleep. Bucks had an ok game but wish he would shut his mouth a bit. Lane can't stay on his feet and is too slow to decide on what to do with the ball. I can go on but can't bother

I agree that everyone are entitled to their opinions, but a title like "bunch of wimps" is antagonistic and not particularly objective. supporters hurt, but the players would hurt more, because they were out there playing the game. as mike has pointed out many, many times already, eddie and the players read the posts in this bulletin - how would they feel about being called "wimps"?

I thinks the term whimps is a bit harsh. BUT the effort was not acceptable. I saw too many half hearted chases and I can't recall a sheapard of note. I can only wonder at the games Tarrant has played of late. He looks like he could be anything but he has looked disinterested. I hope it is confidence and not due to the rumours.

yeah everyone is entitled to their opinion, and yes the supporters hurt and like you say junkboy, the players hurt more. well so they should they have no one to blame but themselves, besides buckley and a few others, that effort if you could call it that was goddam pathetic. like everyone stands around and wave their arms around, its called a TACKLE, maybe they should learn how. remember the ball is not going to come to you, you have to go to it. and how many goals did tyson lane cost us? yes he may have got one but the amount of times he f*cked it up compared to when he didnt are heaps more. he will be in the 2s this week and TARKYN will be back in. and maybe against the kangaroos all those bludgers who did nothing on the weekend might try and redeem themselves after that pitiful effort on the weekend, because by the next time we play carlton this will still be fresh in my mind.

There is a world of difference between not being 100% "up" or not proactively aggressive and and being a soft cock. I think that was a harsh call. I was dissapointed with some efforts but I wouldn't use that term.
We have a number of light, skillful players who don't possess good tackling skills. That needs to be worked on in the gym, on the track and in the trading market. Remember the age aqnd physical stature of players before you lable them as soft.
