Round 8 other games
- Thread starter craig
- Start date
We managed to shoot our selves in the foot too. Just saying .......................
Yep Giants and Scumwood games. We manufactured ways to lose both. We should be 6-2 and equal top right now.
Nicnat will be the difference this year zips. Huge influence on games, you really need to open both eyes.
Only when they feel like it. It's a complete lottery, its like ruck infringements, nobody knows who wins it until the umpire calls the name of the side.
If a player has an armed pinned and they are on the ground and they let the ball go is that a free? Or is that considered a genuine attempt to dispose of it?
If their teammate come up and taks the ball out of their hands (often happens in stoppages) is that an illegal disposal?
A mid-season interpretation changes 100% based on the whingeing of a frustrated coach? What a way to run the biggest sport in the country.
These losses are just part of this season along with the draw with the Pies. Be better if they didn't happen but the old saying "bad kicking is bad football" will always be true. When we are playing well we are very accurate in front of goal, making best use of fwd50 entries. So that's our challenge...to play better then we'll deserve to be higher up the ladder instead of 9th again (if the cats win).As a posted earlier in this thread, a very costly (and unnecessary) loss on Fri night
Hell - to think one loss cud hurt so much. If Cats win which is likley we have gone from 4 to 9 in one round. God its a tight season and can not afford stupid losses like the GWS.. And Jack's kick against the scum which left us with a draw..... How much does that hurt now.
I would say yes to the first and no to the second.
Actually think it's an improvement on the early season. Making a pretence of batting at the ball was a bigger blight on the game than the occasional very harsh call we're seeing now.
Clubs are dealing with players not keen on staying in the hubs in different ways.
We justed allowed Houli & Edwards to stay home.
Collingwood have gone with the player is "injured".
Last week, Penderbury came out and said he might miss games and return back to Melbourne to be his wife and baby.
6 days later 'penderbury is to miss at least 4 games due to Quad strain"
Penderbury hasn't missed a game in 34 years and all of sudden he is out for the next month. Yeah right.
It wouldn't be a good look for a Collingwood captain to flee the hub...
Wc due to the whinging seemed to have the next 8 games at Optus stadium. Why???
They stayed on the hub for 5 weeks not 5 years. Port after one game at home are heading north again.
No more games in NSW. We played the last one there. Sydney is playing GWS in perth.
It's bullshitt.

Yep and many of those taps seemed to go straight to a WC mid who was on the move with time to deliver. Both Nicnat and Grundy had 24 hitouts but Nic was (38% Adv), Grundy (21%).
Soldo had 38 hitouts (26%) and Chol 7 (29%) both often tapping it straight to Giants mids. We failed to take advantage of Soldo's dominance in getting his hand on the footy. They must work out how to fix it fast.
I like your Pendles conspiracy theory but it would have more impact if it happened near the end of the game rather than during the warm up.
