Post Match. Pies run over Crows. All comments, please.

Is Roughead ok?

He came back out and sat on the bench in his tracksuit. He seems to have been concussed.

[What'sinaname]

As others have said it was important just to get the four points in the punishing schedule the A.F..L has given us.I’m just glad we weren’t the first team to lose to Adelaide.That would have been hard to live down.

yup, losing would have been just the worst.

Great response and hopefully we can carry this into the Melbourne game.

A match of two halves. Got the 4 points, not too many injured.

All matches are of two halves.

TRUE mate, like u cannot give 110%, you can only ever give 100% and no more.

Take the 4 points and move on. Much improved second half.

[Pies4shaw]

Maybe Buckley, enough is enough of playing Mayne inside F50. He is so much better on the wing.

Agree far from the worst

Is anyone else disappointed Sidey has not stepped up?

ive been disappointed for a loooonnnngggg time. remember the 2012 to 17. no leadership from him ever.
same situation now and not surprised.

Team high 7 inside 50s tonight, of course. His contribution is consistently under-rated by Collingwood supporters.

[glasseyevfx]

obviously not a great start but I think I prefer a side finishing strongly rather than a side starting well and finishing weak.
Roughead will take a week I expect - a history of concussion and Moore will be available. Dunn looked effective.
JT a little better again. Sier and Wills didn't look wrong.

Got the win so credit to the team for finding something in the second half, standing up and delivering when it counted. Injuries or no injuries, we just needed to win tonight no matter what. Some good signs but there's still a lot we need to do in order to improve and compete with the better teams in the competition. Our decision making and turnovers continue to haunt us and if it weren't for some shoddy kicking in front of goal by the crows then who knows how things might have fared. Why we don't take the game on more beggars belief because we look dangerous when we do but instead we resort to slow ball movement. I'm happy to kick the team when I think they deserve it and also give them credit when it's due. Hopefully we can maintain the momentum and keep moving forward.

If you take the Russian COVID vaccine, 110% might be possible

Terrible 1/2 way
Much better 2nd half
Less handball
Leave Stephenson inside 50
Play Cameron every game

Stop the handball game

Just kick it

Losing tonight might have broken me for 2020; I'm hanging in there as it is...

Yup!

[BazBoy]

And Jack Crisp got them back into it with good disposal to create goals

What am I saying he played well all game

[PyreneesPie]

We're on the same points as Richmond, but 0.6 of percentage lower.

[Pies2016]

Cameron has passed Cox by after a handful of games.
Four years younger, better footy smarts and has an appetite that Cox seems to have lost.
Slowly getting better with every game. Just leave him there this season and let him develop both his support rucking and forward craft ( unless he goes backwards of course )

[Raw Hammer]

Remarkably, we’d be outright third if we didn’t sh!t the bed vs Fremantle.

THIRD!

Anyway, as it stands, just 0.6% behind Richmond (in a year where percentage seemingly once didn’t count for us ... hahaha, amazing right?).

4-day break vs the 6-day Melbourne break doesn’t bode well, but Melbourne are junk. If we somehow manage to defeat Melbourne, we get a 10 day break before North and, pending Cunnington’s fitness, could set ourselves up for a bizarre finals campaign.

[slangman]

The performance in the second half was not the prettiest, but the team showed more guts than in the last 3 weeks combined.

Adams battled hard but his disposal still lets him down. One cannot question his commitment.
Crisp was the difference between the two sides I think. His kicking into the F50 was superb as was his run and carry.
Cameron provided a focal point albeit against a lowly opposition but he has shown that he at least should be persevered with. Apart from his shank, he played well and took some good marks

Some players unfortunately have continued their poor form and I think only injuries have kept them in the side.
Maybe this is the year to put more games into players like T Brown, Murphy etc.

Happy with the 4pts, but still quite a bit to work on.
