Re: Post Game Passion; AFL Rd 18: Carlton vs Collingwood - DJC - 07-18-2021
One of my favourite moments was just before the final siren when Stocker delivered a shepherd/bump that knocked the stuffing out of Mihocek. Stocker is 184cm and 83kg, Mihocek is 192cm and 97kg but Stocker executed a textbook hip and shoulder that gave his teammate a clear passage and gave Mihocek something to think about next time we play the Pies.
Stocker and Mihocek were involved in some argy-bargy in the middle of the ground just minutes before and I couldn't help thinking that there was some payback involved in the bump.
Stocker doesn't take a backward step and it's good to see that doesn't mind dishing a bit out ... within the rules.
Another moment was when a young Collingwood player collected Eddie in the jaw. His response was along the lines, "Oh no! I've just shot Bambi!" It must be hard when youngsters come up against one of the present day icons of the game.

Was on Elliott for most of the second half.
Just don't watch a replay of the last time we played Collingwood if you're a Plowman fan... horror show.
No, Williams was on Henry when he got two of his goals and Walsh was his opponent for his first goal.

I thought the first 1/4 and a half the endeavour and effort was good, however, a lot of wasted energy as there was no connection anywhere, so we were running around like headless chooks and turning it over - really suffering by not having a CHF coming down the ground to kick to. This energy use, I thought was going to bite us when we did get it sorted. Nearly turned off the TV.
It was just me watching until half way through the third, then the rest of the family joined in. It was great. There were some solid efforts by heaps, but the energy and enthusiasm grew. Family didn't like how anxious I was until we were 4 goals up!
As a note, Dow has always been really strong in the hips - now he has matured, he gets through some tackles pretty well.

Great win today, loved H, JSoS, Weitering, Williams, Saad, Eddie, Walsh, Dow, Stocker and Kennedy, but I’m sorry Plowman and Newnes have to go now
Yes they work hard, but they’re both average-poor players and you’d be very hard pressed to find any non-Carlton supporter say otherwise.
I’d be playing McGovern in Plowmans spot once the former is available and I’d also be replacing Newnes with one of Carroll, Honey or Kemp, as soon as one of them is ready.
With those regards replacements we’ll be better again.

When we are bad, we look like at team of individuals that have come together to play for the first time. No cohesion whatsoever.

Sam Docherty

14 out. What an effort to win 3 of the last 4. Zero depth in the big men stakes. Dekoning too young to be playing first ruck and still bring home the 4 points.
SOS was immense today. Such a competitor!
The rest are either unknowns back ups or finished.
And even then you will struggle to find 5 players to drop out to make way.
Pies also had some good outs too in Howe Daicos and Moore and have a stand in coach and are sitting 15th on the ladder.
I was very pleased with the win but let’s not get too ahead of ourself and make out like we fielded a reserve side and beat a top team.
We did what we should have today imo and should be able to do the same in the next few weeks with the opposition we are facing.

Plowman finished top five in the 2019 and 2020 B+F, top 10 in 2017. Rated by 2 senior coaches. Spoken about in positive terms by Teague. The club appealed his suspension earlier this year, which they don't often do. Last year he signed a 3 year extension, which runs until the end of 2023.
For better or worse, he's rated by the club, and not going anywhere.

As a matter of interest, how many goals were scored by his direct opponent(s) today and how many score assists did they have? I can't think of any.
Well said, Spotted One and David.
Plowman gets the 'thankless task' every week. He is obviously valued by his team mates and that says a great deal. Integral part of our defense.
