Lost this one in the coaches box and selection table.....Polson and Dow in an important game was a mistake and Teague got out coached by Buckley. Elliott in the middle worked well for them and surprised us and I thought Adams was the best player on the ground with his grunt work. Our forwards were disgraceful in terms of pressure in the second half...Noble, Quaynor and Crisp just racked them up, never had a man and we just bombed the ball long like we usually do when we have no plan B and they have the talls in Moore and Roughead to match our talls so we couldnt take any marks even on a dry day.
Daicos slaughtered us after half time and we just let him run around on his own and he created mayhem with his pace and clever ball use. Rucks were not too bad TDK, Pittonet ganged up on Grundy but I thought the Collingwood man stuck at it and we didnt get the dominance we should have...
Cripps was kept to an ordinary game by Pendlebury and Walsh wasnt dominant either...Ed battled on but his ball use wasnt great.
Eddie had his moments but the kid Quaynor worried us with his pace and ball use and Eddie didnt have the wheels to stop him..
Gibbons was poor, Fisher patchy and probably Setterfield was our best player.
Another good move by Buckley was Mihocek on Weitering in a defensive role, our man didnt really have his usual great intercept game and Mihocek chipped in with a few goals late. Cox was useless but being so big demanded attention and also got a couple of goals by sheer weight of attacking ball that was sent his way.
Plowman had a shocker as did Docherty imo.....Stephenson was too quick and smart and became the leadup target but Teague didnt seem to get what Collingwood were doing and it was the wrong matchup.
Williamson was shaky and Simpson battled on but its the end for him in a few weeks.
Given what Collingwood had out in terms of class it was a poor effort on and off the field....got to question Barkers role and what input he has into matchups and tactics as well.
