Post Match. Lions pip Pies - all comments

[Larabee]

I'm not going to tape the game. I'm not a sadist.

[PeterWH]

Only saw the last 5-10 mins so I dont know until I see the whole game,BUT it seems to me that we stopped in the final quarter....

[Millane42]

PRETENDERS!!!!!

We just can't win at the gabba and we always struggle against the Lions. Mentally we are stuffed against them. 3 wins there in 20 years.

Pathetic effort Pies, absolutely gutless. Games like that show the reason why Collingwood will never win a premiership in our lifetime.

[The_Staunton]

Players obviously don't care, why should we?

(Except for Thomas)

[thompsoc]

How bad was that. A crap side with the walking wounded and they beat us with guts and determination. If you don't win the mid field you don't usually win the match. For all those who think O"Bree should get another game look into the mirrow. His kicking is lamentable and downright pathetic. Daisy and Pendles were great. Wood is hopeless and you may as well play L Brown. At least Brown is tough unlike Wood who couldn't fight his way out of a wet paperbag.

[swoop42]

Guys we are Pretenders.

Keep Playing Like That we be Lucky to win again this Season.

Ball Kicking is Coming a Real Worry for me

Sure is DTM.

You can add O'Bree and Johnson(on tonight's performance) to that as well.

If we want a hard nut under the packs with good disposal then let's elevate Blair asap!

[sharrod_theiceman]

That was pathetic. Jack should have got that mark and we would have been on front but it shouldn't have come to that

[woftam]

I agree with DTM's original post.
We never change anything even when it's obvious our zone is being smashed. Please elevate Blair & maybe someone besides Ball can win a hardball get at a centre clearance. If we had played man on man we would have smashed them, but instead we handed the game to them on a platter by letting them kick to each other without a contest. Several times from one end of the ground to the other.

[scoobydoo]

We lost in in the Coaching Box and the Selection Table.

Reasons:

• Mick Not Changing to Man on Man when the Zone was getting Destroyed
• Playing too many Talls
• Too Slow Side. Get O'Bree out of the Side
• N Brown should of played instead of Ben Reid
• Defense who Leak to many Goals
• Midfield getting Flogged
• Not Heavy Tag Black or Power

Any Others?

ur pathetic

[John Wren]

Can't comment.

It's not worth it.

i feel strangely indifferent about the whole thing. not worth reading the drivel that is going to be spewed by the usual suspects. i trust they'll revel in it.

and for lazza and co who had pregame anxieties about the game, your fears have been proven. sh|t happens.

[AnthonyC]

I'm gutted after a loss, it seems even worse to a mob like that.

But then I come here, read some of the shite written and feel worse.

[jack_spain]

Players obviously don't care, why should we?

(Except for Thomas)

That about sums up my feelings to.

The less I say the better, but a few words come to mind:

Gutless, pathetic, overrated, downhill skiers, etc. etc.

Billy Fields comes to mind: BAD HABITS.

Why is it every season in this Eddie-Malthouse reign we do the same? Tease, tease and then fall over when it really counts.

I'm fed up!

[dancambo]

That was pathetic, went in top heavy and paid the price. Hopefully another nail in MM's coffin.

On a positive note Thomas was brilliant, as he has been all year. Copeland cert.

[SteveH67]

Malthouse wont win a flag with us, no doubt about that.

Bucks is our best chance into the future, as he will demand the best from his players, and wont acccept excuses etc

Cam Wood is another hack, Lions knew what they were giving up trading him.

I dont rate Cloke like other supporters do, I think some of you overrate him. Unlike a JBrown, Franklin etc he doesn't have the capacity to step and lift the team when needed.

To be honest, I wouldn't be too concerned if he didn't take up a new contract.

The kicking for goal has been woeful in recent weeks, and along with the Saints game earlier in the season has cost us dearly.

We are nowhere near the flag yet!

[thebaldfacts]

Very ordinary tonight.

beams and wellingham shocking tonight. Jolly got slaughtered tonight in the rucks. Anthony back to the VFL.

Thomas, Pendlebury and Swan could at least hold their heads up.

Not suire about the rest.
