Post match. Pies down to Tigers -All comments please

[The Prototype]

Anyone else noticed that Medhurst goes to ground too often?

Is that a Connolly thing that he passed onto the Shockers?

[Sultan of spin]

Toovey is a poor mans McGough.

The ultimate insult, but how true it is

Now let's draw some positives from this round. We need to!
Port Adelaides performance yesterday against the blues was not too dissimilar to our struggle in the previous week. Port aren't too convincing at the crucial end of the season. The cellar dwellers are coming out to prove something.
The Brissy lions are still struggling to secure a spot in the eight.
Meds has shown us a glimpse of hope, lets hope this develops into something BIG!
Imagine the potency of a 10% in effort from Rocca, Swanny, Cloke, Heater, Jonno and Josh. These are key players MM must eyeball this week and demand them to lift. Besides they have a responsibility to perform.
Some possible inclusions for Round 20 are Dids, Bucks, Clarke, and Cox. There is still plenty of depth in reserve.
A rested Dids must be worth something? Imagine also how tall the team would walk with Buckley lining up in the forward pocket?
The pies are playing to maintain their spot in the finals.....no more gimme matches so the mind set now must be that of vigorous attack rather than just assuming walk over starts.

I went looking for a bridge but couldn't find one high enough to jump off. Today is another day tho....we can come back because we are Collingwood. Maybe time for some bold decisions at the selection table. Let's stick together....Unity is everything!!

Now let's draw some positives from this round. We need to!

The only positive I see is that surely we have seen the back of Toovey

[PeterWH]

Actually I did comment on the kicking thru the comments on Friday night...if I remember correctly I stated that their kicking would let them down and they had no heart at all......
Bitchmond came out to play and the guys thought that it would be a forgone conclusion.......

[Neil Appleby]

Sorry johnb .........just when you thought it was safe to come back to Nick's....... here it comes again!

Sorry but i have not read to many post scince the heart break, but i want to say this "To all of Collingwoods senior players who have played 5 years + F**ck off".

Thank you for giving us a faulse senceof well being, you D**kheads earn more than most of your paid up members put together, say that again "more money than most of us paid up members". Think about this you cats, if it wasnt for us you sisies would not even get paid, do you f**cking soft c**ks know what it is like to walk the streets asking "Do you have any spare change" for a living. Answer "No" of course not you girls have been motned collied all your lives.

Now that we are loosing you think we can just blame the fact that we are a young team.
Well to that i say i cant waituntill you girls retire and leave it up to the likes of Dale Thomas, Pendles,Goldsack, Clarke and Co. These young blokes have far more ticker than you (Biside Bucks & Clem).

If you guys are scared of getting hurt why wait untill round 20, to let youremployees find out that you are a waiste of S**t,

And when i call these senior players sh*t, i mean no disrespect to the waiste that comes out of animal intestines.

sO WITH THAT YOU gIRLS, YOU KNOW THAT YOU CAN TAKE YOU MONEY AND RUN, and kick back and blame the youth. My opinion my not count, but i will say this, Pies when you pick up you next pay check in it.

Thanks



I am sick of hearing we have tappered of because of our young players, when our youngstars have been the only ones saving us from embarrisment.

I'd like to nominate this posting for the Nick's Post of the Year.
After Friday night, this post at least made me laugh loudly.
Maybe Ed should ensure it's posted in the training room this week.

[stui magpie]

Memo to the Collingwood FC marketing department.

Make some Pinata's in the shape of various players and even a magpie one and sell them outside the ground after a loss so that those people that way inclined can take them home, hang them on the clothesline and beat the sh1t out of it. Fill them with phlegm, bile and an application form for a Richmond FC membership.

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

haha, nice one stui

[Clement]

Oh good god, some of the supporters are turning Richmond on us. That is something they'd do at Richmond. Not our club. That is appalling...

i love the turning into Richmond line, its so pathetic and premeditated all you can do is laugh.

It says on our site 100% built by members, sad thing is those 100% have just about pulled the pin, iam only young and cannot really understand why. But this club must have let the older firm down so many times its a love hate relationship. They hate to love this club and love to hate it.

The club gutted a lot of us in 02 and 03, then a few weeks back lied down and gutted us again, losing to brisbane like that is unacceptable, but we fall for MM and the clubs same old BS line, the same old BS players making the same old basic BS mistakes using the same old tried and failed structures and game plans. OUT COACHED and out played, it happened again against Richmond. Ask anyone with 2 eyes open. Iam not blaming MM i have loads of time and respect for him, think he is a great coach, but he got done twice in 3 weeks.

We can still win the flag, but its the way the club goes about it that counts. A loss to richmond, should have lost to carlton, now melbourne, these next 3 weeks should be all about the club playing for its members and supporters not pay checks and accolades. Time to earn some respect back collingwood. If you wont do it for yourself do it for us.

Agreed.

[colin_wood]

pies can still make top 4....provided there is a big form turn around to win the last 3 games and North lose to the bulldogs in round 22. The only other way to sneak into top 4 is if there are 2* big wins maybe against Melbourne & Adelaide and sneak in on percentage

[Joel]

Toovey is a poor mans McGough.

His first season. He hasn't played seniors in two months atleast. The whole team played crap. Why pick on Toovey?

[swooper]

Ha! We wish....

[Joel]

That Medhurst finally pulled his finger out was the only one I can think of.

Anyone else noticed that Medhurst goes to ground too often?

Yes! Annoys the shit out of me. He goes for the free kick more than anyone in the side atm. As soon as someone touches him, or if he is a foot in front of someone he falls on top of the ball, or does something equally stupid.

[swooper]

David Parkin (ABC) was quite critical in a couple of instances with Medders on Friday night for this reason, so its not only us who have noticed it about his game.
