SA Footy

Absolute crap
WTF is going on with this full court press basketball game?
Collingwood fell for the idiot cows game plan of playing U9's football of 18 players on the ball playing keepies off
Only problem is they failed miserably and kept losing their feet and dropping the ball
At one stage Cloke was at CHB with no-one in front of him
Guys were looking up at HBF with no-one to kick to
How can a team play such good football one week and that $hit the next?
Keep serving up that crap Buckley and you can f*** off
I'm glad Tommy Hafey wasn't around to see such a disgraceful performance
Who TF would pay to see that!!! That is NOT football

Nah, for all the struggles with them, I had a lot of respect.
Enjoyed a beer with those blokes after a game, particularly Siv and Doc.

Three blokes for mine could hold their heads up - Captain Scott, Maxwell and Frost. The others were nowhere.
Last night also showed how much we miss Ben Reid. He could have been part of a dangerous three tall forward line - like the Crows had. Or gone down back to quell Jenkins, who is really starting to find his feet.

You won't see Reid for a while.

I knew we'd suffer from inconsistency this year, just wish it didn't happen against the Cows.

I should also mention Grundy. He fought hard all night.

Harsh on Langdon Dogwatcher- I thought he was very good all night. Beams had a solid night, without being damaging due to the crows pressure. Other than that the rest were well down.

Fair call on Langdon - turned the ball over a couple of times, that probably stuck in my mind.
Beams was solid, but with so many down we needed more than solid from a bloke who's a star.

There seemed such a casualness about some of our disposal and ball collect, last night. It was awful to watch.
And Adelaide made the oval seem so small.

you know you're going rough when this bloke is a stand out

Beams first half was great, fell away a little in the second. I thought you guys had the better skills in the first half too, fantastic below the knees and at the drop of the ball but the Crows' skills lifted in the second half and you fell away a bit. Both sides had plenty of opportunity in front of goals to take the game away.

Cloke dropping that easy chest mark in his first contest set his night up. Collingwood really missed Elliot who I see as a very dangerous player. No goals and little effect on the game, Brown held him really well. Keefe will want to forget that game in a hurry, did he throw a hay maker at Jenkins in the second quarter near the boundary?

West Coast are going to cop a hammering next weekend from you guys.

Maxwell played well last night

Pretty ordinary from Keefe to put Jenkins on his arse the second he looked away too.

Agree a night to forget.

Just not up for it Dogs. Not sure why, they looked flat. I would say thats a good one for them to get out there system.

Agree, some great blokes at that club.
But. Geez I hated losing to them.

Back to collingwood, if the performance last night was against a polished team it could have got real ugly.

Geez Langdon is a going to be a gun.

Weeeeeee!

It was a pretty good game to be at, would have been bad to watch as a neutral, as skills were poor on both sides.

What has happened to cloke this year? His bad form of 2 years ago was due his contract negotiations, last year he was a gun. Is he carrying some sort of injury?

Talia did a great job on him but you would suspect someone like cloke to still get the upper hand on someone that has played 50 odd games of footy.

Was also really worried about Elliot as I didn't think the crows had a good matchup for him but he was well down too. Going forward you guys just struggled. Crows pressure probably had something to do with it but still, not what I expected from the pies.

Agree on Langdon too. Thought he played really well. Great find

You're F****** kidding. All 18 teams play that shit. Pretty sure it was the Western Bulldogs that started it in 2000 against the dominant Essendon. Might as well blame global warming & the latest budget on the crows.

jimmy is pretty grumpy after last night i think

reason behind chatting on last years collingwood thread?

We're from Collingwood
We don't know what 2013 means

Pies had a bad game but ill suspect they will have the last laugh by playing finals.
A pretty good side that had an off night like most sides do at some stage, they will bounce back as they have plenty of quality.
Definately have a couple of spuds that the Crows exposed badly
