Post Game-Carlton v Collingwood

[ElwoodBlues1]

The media reporting on this game is strange,  apparently Pendles was BOG, and the pies accounted for a spiteful Carlton after a spray.

FMD,  if Peddles was tagging he was flogged,  and Grundy (and the entire midfield) took a long time to get on top considering there was no ruck opposition.  Hoskin-Elliot and Stephenson,  yes they kicked goals on a couple of crabs, but so they should have.

I want to know what " Mr Clean " Pendles did to make him a target,  and thought that the pies' less feted players such as Howe and Phillips did the real damage.

Morale of story,  don't read the small paper for footy reporting.

Prof , I had Cripps BOG but I had Pendlebury as Collingwoods best player...both had 29 possies but Cripps three goals gave him the edge however Pendlebury is a player you need to watch because a lot of his half touches/tap ons end up with Collingwood players, he is a class act and held their midfield together...Treloar, Adams, Sidebottom get the kudos but Pendlebury never wastes a possie and the only mistake he made all day was getting caught on the boundary by Dow late in the game..
The other stat that caught my eye was clearances.....Pendlebury had 4 but he kept Cripps to 7 which Collingwood would take as a win given our man is usually double figures plus......Cripps went at 82%DE and Pendlebury @86%......the three goals was what gave Cripps the BOG IMo but the Collingwood captain hurt us every time he got the footy...
