Game On ! Pies v. Lions - late changes, updates and comments

[jack_spain]

Sidebottom. What a great goal!

We've got to get some fluency tonight. Our mids are all over the place. Poor delivery into the forward 50 again.

[Donny]

Half time.

Collingwood 8 9 57
Brisbane 6 6 42

Goalkickers: Alan Didak 2, Darren Jolly 1, Chris Dawes 2, Jack Anthony 1, Steele Sidebottom 2

We won both quarters playing questionable footy.

Let's hope we come out in the second half and take it a bit more seriously.

If I have to watch us zone while they play kick to kick again I'll spew. I watched enough of that last week. Why have we changed the way we play? Attack the ball carrier and force a turn over. It's what got us to 2nd on the ladder. We have only laid 25 tackles in a half of footy because we are playing soft uncontested footy. Man up & play footy & we smash these pretenders by 10 goals.

Totally agree. A few of our players look like they are avoiding any physical contact. 25 tackles is a bloody disgrace. Where are the bone breaking tackles?

Wood's been much better tonight. I liked the way he stood up to Stalker (yes I mean Stalker!).

[GoWoodsmen]

for the past 5 weeks we have flicked our pressure switch with devastating results. God i hope tonight is not the night it goes missing.

Come on pies, we are so much better than this mob

[Tannin]

Must we have this pathetic umpire whinge, every game ?!

Really just a matter of getting your facts straight. Many times, it is indeed just a silly winge. But you need to pick your fights more carefully because you have got this one wrong, Donny.

Now I can't see the game here, only listen to the professional but let's face ir, rather anti-Collingwood call on ABC radio. These guys do their best to stay impartial, but they can't stand Collingwood.

And what are they telling us? These pro-Brisbane callers? They are telling us that the umpiring is inconsistent and Collingwood are getting shafted.

[selkevh]

At the game presently. Umps don't seem to like us. Let's switch it on Pies.

[jack_spain]

^ Well said Tannin.

Glad to be of service with the sig.

[swoop42]

Let's allow our tall forwards to play as such in the 2nd half and keep our ruckmen out of there.

So what ?

Pick my fights ? What fight/s ?

My comment wasn't about this game only.

In any case, what's the point ? Will it make any difference ? No.

Yeah, bingo.

Complaining won't change anything but what's the harm in making an observation that the umpires were crap. They were a tad better in the second quarter.

The game presently is where it's at.

I don't think the umpiring has been that bad besides getting the Maxwell mark wrong. The reason the game is close is because we are too regimented in our zoning & not changing things up enough. Beams has hardly had a touch yet has not been moved into the midfield.

[jack_spain]

Why are we bombing the ball long into the forward 50 again? All our forwards are out and it's one against three in the goal square!

We must be smarter.
