Very disappointing. A non-performance.

Must get a response in the next game whenever that is

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R1 2020

1. Cordy is not a full back. (And Nobody has told him the principles of kicking in.)

2. Collingwood knows that they have a dominant height advantage in the forward zone. So you can see them kick to setup 25 metres from goal. They have not had a long shot at goal in 14 scores.

3. Because of the height disadvantage it has been common to see the Dogs have 3 backmen attempting to spoil in a pack. This gives the Collingwood forwards the chance to spread.

4. The Dogs have been static. Not one attacking foot pass to a runner in the clear. Still handball focused with a receiver too close.

5. Kicks into the forward line are poor. High floaters after Collingwood has had time to fall back and set up.

6. Ruck structure doesn’t allow flexibility, needs a sacrificial spoiler so English can remain a significant contributor.

7. Dogs are standing too far from opposition. Allows them time to setup. They are getting no value from defending grass.

8. At most stoppages Collingwood has players away from the ball and players are looking for them.

9. Cox has dropped the ball a number of times and not been penalised.

10. Grundy hits the body, then the ball. Our rucks are not taking the hit into their routine.

11.

Excellent analysis

Is there a slower player under 6’1’ in the comp than Wallis? He just can’t get across the ground.

I love this club.
This performance, given the weirdness, uniquenes of the time we're in right now, is heartbreaking.
We play GWS next week (if circumstances allow). I expect nothing less than a 'life depends on it' performance.

4th lowest inside 50s in AFL history (22). Obviously shorter quarters didn’t help. But that was a horrific display.

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R1 2020

Same old problems. Slow, pathetic skills and lack of intensity/physicality. Not sure what we were doing all offseason. In fact, I didn’t watch a game of the 2019 season and I feel we’ve made zero progress since 2018. And wait on. 2018 was as bad as 2017. Have we done anything since 2016?

You are right. Our ball movement is so slow. Collingwood played well and that is how I thought we were going to play. We were fumbling, no control, lack of vision, unable to tackle, no intensity, dominated. Probably the worst performance I can remember.

We’ve got Carlton next game.

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R1 2020

Totally disheartening display , considering we were supposed to have filled our weaknesses we created new ones with our midfield.
Teams just have to go in hard in the middle and we shit our pants . Game over.

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R1 2020

Normal analysis I think is hard to apply to this performance in these circumstances. Never seen the team that flat in rd 1. Bloody shame season held so much promise.

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R1 2020

Our midfield group has been completely disgusting and give the impression of not smarting enough after having their arses handed to them last time they played. What they seem like is a group of players who have been reading Champion Data assessments of their prospects and listening to the pundits over the summer.

Every so often an opposition midfield group brings the heat and completely embarrasses our big name mids through sheer 2-way workrate. Cripps and Petrevski-Seton did it last year, GWS did it in the final. Pies did it tonight.
