Game Day - Bulldogs vs Magpies

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Magpies

Well as it ended up it was very much a danger game. The Pies prepared for this encounter as well as you could expect and they showed a lot of character but we also did very well to answer the challenge.

Nail biting stuff. Glad to get away with the four points. Full credit to the Pies

Ben Johnson for the medal? Total Bullsh*t

Lindsay Gilbee played a fantastic game... He should have been ahead of him surely..
.

Exactly what i thought when i herd Ben Johnson was awarded the medal...err, right....

I was talking to my Collingwood supporting friend, and he said he turned off the radio because the commentary was so biased!

My absolute favourite moment was the Matty Boyd tackle on show pony Thomas....
Tried to be all flashy!

Another gripe is that i think it was Healey or Frawley kept calling Brian Lake Brian HARRIS.
Repeatedly.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Magpies

Like everyone else I was surprised with Ben Johnson getting the medal - if I had to make an unbiased view I would probably have picked Heath Shaw.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Magpies

great character, guts and determination to get over the line after 1/2 time being down and out

dont forget, the pies would be seething after losing to carlton, so even though we played bad today, to stand up in the danger game and still get the chocholate was great !

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Magpies

To be fair Johnson kept Aker very quiet for a large portion of the match and was fairly damaging. Although I couldn't really tell you who was good for Collingwood as I don't usually see the opposition as players, just obstacles. Appreciating both teams is for when the Dogs aren't involved.
Boyd's tackle on Thomas was almost match winning. Lake's **** up after the 50 was almost match losing and unforgivable. There's been a few little things creeping into our game like that and Eags banana at goal last week that make me think someone's going to give us a reality check sooner or later if we don't rein it in a little, it was nearly today. Collingwood played us very well up until half way through the 3rd quarter then we started to get some run and broke it open.

Thought Gilbs was great and that Ray's run when we weren't playing so well was crucial to keeping us in the game. Morris also very good as was Addison although it doesn't show on the stats sheet. Minson had some big touches when it counted. Not such good days for Hudson, and Aker. Thought Collingwood's rucks exploited us a bit going the other way, although allowing them to kick goals from F50 marks when playing deep forward was disappointing. Cooney, Boyd and Cross are all just playing excellent football. A relief to get the 4 points.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Magpies

A couple of things really stood out for me. When we were under the pump earlier some really good courageous/sacrificial acts by some of the younger guys, Dylan Addison & Callan Ward in particular were outstanding.
The defence held it together early as the Pies clearly were the better team & should have been 4 goals + in front at 1/4 time.
Shaggy Hargraves is having a great year.
Did anyone else notice that for most of the game, the bounce of the ball and flukey stuff went in favour of the pies?
I couldnt get over it.
Good to win ugly.....

Hahn should have won the medal.

Re: Game Day - Bulldogs vs Magpies

Really poor performance.

Heath Shaw is a vital player for Collingwood. His output over the past month has been way down due to close checking. Why the hell were our players either instructed or allowed to let him do as he pleased??

Danger game!

Me?
Are you telling me Hahn wasn't the most influential player on the ground. Beat his man regularily in one on ones, kicked 3, gave a few off, missed some easy one. I think it was only 17 possies but he was the difference between us winning and losing.
