Post Game Passion: AFL 2019 Rd 8: Carlton vs. Collingwood

[jeza]

Yep he's surprised this year.

To compete with the pies, we need Cunningham, SPS, Setterfield, Dow and Walsh getting 25-30 each.
Collingwood had 3 players get 34.
7 of their mids had 23 or more. 5 of that 7 kicked 1 or more goals.
That is a very serious contribution.

People get seduced by Collingwood stats. They chip back and forth 4 times, go backwards, end up bombing down the line from a worse position than they started with all options covered yet they had 4 possessions. They aren't real possessions.

But I agree - Samo in particular - he needs to go from 35 pos on his good days to 25 on his bad (not 16). 5 of his 8 games this year he's been in the teens. He's still miles off unfortunately. Shame because our fortunes are closely tied to his performances in my opinion. He's a real barometer for us.
