WB Game Day V Collingwood R14 2019

[merantau]

It’s a case of dejavu all over again. So frustrating. We have lost all confidence in kicking for goal from set shots and for just taking a ping. How many times did we turn the ball over in our forward half by trying some dinky kick to a team mate, surrounded by opponents, instead of just having a crack? Naughton has become another Chris Grant in terms of his scraggability. Defenders can safely do anything to him - he’s a free fire zone.
Throwing the ball - it’s allowed these days
Sadly, that’s year over for us I’m afraid. We look to the future now. We need to work out who is going to make it and who isn’t over the next few months. We have shown that we can mix it with good teams - but not for four quarters. Fix that and our goal kicking, get a couple of big mobile defenders and a backup ruckman and we can make the eight in 2020.

So that is 3 failed seasons in a row with no finals and a coach who is now barely 50% W/L in his career (and much worse in the last 3 years).

I guess Gordo will just give him and his motley crue of assistants another 2-3 year extension for shits and giggles

Will an early extension of Bevo and keeping the majority of assistants next year look to many like rewarding mediocrity? Yes.

Whatever it is you've posted, I can't see the format. Not expecting it to be flattering.

All good anyway, we're travelling beautifully at 5-8 after finishing 11-11 and 8-14 in the previous two seasons. Carry on.

If we get execution right we will be fine Sedat

Sounds like you're at the presser. That's Bevo's stock standard response to every loss.

More scoring shots, we lose the game. This is becoming a sadly familiar narrative.

We definitely have the effort just not the finishing ability.

2017 was really poor and we should have performed better. Since then we've been rebuilding, and have serious deficiencies on the list.

I look at our personnel and don't really know how we can play differently. If we go slow with the football we'll get creamed on the intercept and numbers back.

Don't get me wrong, I'm as frustrated as anyone, I just don't know how much better we can expect to be without a strong key defender and a couple of developed natural forwards.

There needs to be a change in assistant coaching personnel, perhaps a few different sets of eyes can unlock something different.

Left field question but are we simply missing Monty? Just think we need that hard arse 2IC

Sorry the four or five laughing emoticons didn't work from my phone.

We play some exhilarating football at times but just lack that polish to hurt the opposition
I'm not sure how we can turn that around but I wouldn't be above getting Akermanis down at the club to work with some of the youngsters during the pre season

It's a valid question but obviously Gordo and Ameet are very happy with our footy dept structure as they have made minimal changes since the flag and are highly likely to extend contracts within the dept. Would the likes of Sydney, Hawthorn or Geelong do this after such an extended period of failure?

Chris Scott was something of a laughing stock at the end of 2018 for having such a poor finals record since 2012 - at least he makes finals.

I don't want that dickhead anywhere near our football club. Agree we need help, but please anyone but him.

I can tell you now, it was not a coaching issue today, but people are quick to turn on to the coach. I have said it before, we lack some key players that would make the difference.

Collingwood who are a grandfinalist from last year and sitting nicely in second spot, should have lost today, but we wasted our opportunities.
