Round 21 - Footscray vs Collingwood at Whitten Oval

MagpieBat · Post by **MagpieBat** » Sat Aug 27, 2016 2:03 pm

Umpire holds the ball aloft to start proceedings in the final term before a very large, very involved crowd here at Whitten Oval.

It's now or never for the minor premiership, Collingwood.

The dream of a top spot finish and perhaps the slightly easier first week of the finals rests on these final 30 minutes. Otherwise, it's in the hands of Box Hill as they run out against Casey.

Can we make it a baker's dozen on the trot, and with it, history?

Let's find out...

We kicked with the wind in the third quarter and got outscored by the team kicking against the wind?

This last quarter might be a massacre, then ...

...it's Collopy, got taken out going for the ball, being assisted from the ground...

Witts was doing OK around the ground, very agile at ground level for a big bloke.

Agile maybe for a 209cm guy

Dale unchecked out the back, marks in space.

Decides to go back to shoot... converts...

58-75

Lynch nails one from 50 on the run, after Borthwick's incompetence saw him caught holding, and I reckon top spot is just about gone...

58-81

Hey DTM - the glass is supposed to be half full, not half empty. Not over until the ump raises his hands! Have faith.

Stoppage 25 from home, outer pocket...

Free kick off the ball for a hold... going to CAFF!

From 35m, 45d... behind...

59-81

Result is not the number 1 thing the VFL is about

More skill errors, more loose man over the back, another goal to them...

60-87
