It was like watching the Essendon game all over again......absolute carbon copy - except for the result.......terrible game between two terrible teams on the night.

I am feeling the same way myself at the moment. Collingwood at the moment are no real force in the AFL. A must win game we couldn't lose.

Have to agree. We never looked like coming back and it felt like we had lost by a much bigger margin. The players looked confused again!

It was a poor standard game, but we only lost by two goals, after missing at least 3 or 4 relatively simple shots at goal, and they got at least 2 goals from seriously crap free kicks, so in my mind could easily have gone either way. Silvagni showed enough to make me very happy in his first game, he's a keeper. Shattered for Byrne, just finding his feet and showing great promise, he's a guy we need to get every game into that we can, could be an A grader if he gets a decent run at it

Our forwards are on the nose at he moment, well for some time.
Said it after last game, and I'll say it again... They need to work harder to make space and leads. The only one capable of doing it last night was young Jack in his first game!
It's easy to blame the mids for bombing it in, and Ive probably done that in the past, but they aren't exactly being overwhelmed by options and or forwards demanding the ball on a lead.
I'd like to think Casboult is going to get better at some point, but every time he looks like taking a step forward, he goes 2 or 3 steps back. A couple of folks around here seem to defend him pretty constantly, but I can't see the attraction right now. He averages less than a goal a game, both for the year and career, and I can't see that improving anytime soon.

The last couple of games have just reinforced what I knew at the start of the season. . . . . We are nowhere near a finals side.
We should beat Essendon, but that will probably be our only win for the rest of the season.
That doesn't worry me. Gives us better draft picks.
The main thing is that the standards are being set by BB and the coaching staff and as long as that is kept up and SOS does his job, we will get there.
Maybe 2018 - 2019 ?????

The form of several players, Everitt, Casboult, Kreuzer, Kerridge, Cripps, Weitering and Thomas is being affected by our lack of depth. Too few are doing all the heavy lifting, I think the apparent lack of options for the coaches box reflects this, we've too few healthy cattle left.
The fact that Simmo, Curnow and Docherty are still on top of the ground is both a marvel and miracle.
Plowman has been good as well in the last few weeks, and did you notice him giving team-mates some curry for failing to run defensively. Here is someone who we can look forward to being part of the leadership group.
Phillips will be better for the run, he'll need to be against the Crows who are loaded with 200cm talent.
Sad news for Byrnes, who had probably played his best game for the season.
Weitering needs a rest, he's just a kid playing like a man, I want him for the next decade not just the next few weeks.

Sad part is wanting to rest players great in theory , but then reality checks in, who are you going to play?4 Goals for the NB's this weekend , not really any pushing for forward spots . Time to test the metal of a couple & do the deep end thing Gowers, Jasch, Buckley , basically let them know its not or never. Several must realise by now there careers here are only months away from being over

Well they've got to get Gowers off the rookie list quick smart, his form and attitude suggest he can fill a role in replacing the loss of Byrne.
