Docherty, Cripps, Walsh and Wetering are our leaders and they show no direction out there. Malthouse said it before the game that Collingwood would show our boys what leadership looks like and he was spot on.
Agree. A good example of brain fade by a senior player occurred in the second half when Docherty took possession in the centre following a turnover. He ran to the half forward line and then, under no pressure, unloaded a long bomb deep into the forward line.
There was not one Carlton player within 40 metres but there were three Collingwood defenders, one of whom gratefully took a chest mark and drove the ball straight into attack.
I feel sorry for Voss. He is being let down by senior players not setting an example for the team.

That's my point. Docherty did not look to pick out Carlton forwards, who were all gathered around the half forward line, but just blazed away.

Also, something that disgusted me on a personal level was how much our fans were bagging our players, and their approach at the actual game. I was sitting in Row H. Bottom deck behind the goals, and whilst I face palmed and groaned a lot about our method, the idea of a supporter is to support. In good and bad times. Not just bag our players incessently. Its not on.
There was one guy who was absolutely gushing about how good collingwood were, and I found myself looking at him, and wondering who he was there to support and found myself checking his beanie and club logo multiple times to double check. Also, hearing frustrated fans line up our cheer squad was something else that I thought was quite poor.
If you don't like whats going on in the cheer squad, pay your money and front up. Or start a chant somewhere. Having a go at people is not on IMHO and I dont see the point of rocking up to bag our players and wax lyrically about how good the opposition are. For anyone interested I was in M2 in the Shane Warne stand right next to our cheer squad.

The problem is I was doing the same in terms of 'gushing' with the occasional profanity thrown in.
Especially when Moore got near the ball.
They were a lot of things we just weren't.
Getting the ball and effort were good (OK) from our side but....
System, 'team'-work and good execution were not.

Ouch. For the first time this season I have nothing to complain about, the coaches didn't miss a beat!

Acres was burnt twice at least, he ran into the F50 and was standing on his own waving and he was ignored in favour of Charlie or Harry outnumbered. Again, poor decision making with that last kick. Moore and Co feasted on the incoming ball because they knew where it was going every time. I know we say the smalls and mids dont kick enough goals but FFS give them a look at least.

Maybe our cunning plan was to pump up the Filth's tyres so as to set them up to fall?
I'll be far more upset if we fail to hurt CheatsFC than losing to the Filth.
btw., It might be time to gloat. But some of you may recall I posted worriedly about the AFL changes to rules that were almost designed to counter the list we've built. What hope do recruiters and list managers have, when you build a list for one game style and it's ruled out by the Big House with just a few carefully chosen tweaks?
If we ignore games against Wet Toast, is scoring up or down for 2023 compared to 2022?
