I watched the game from the third level rather than my usual seat on level 2 and I had quite a different perspective.
One thing that occurred to me was that many of Collingwood’s inside 50s were kicked from 70m out or closer. Most of our inside 50s were kicked from 70m out or further. Collingwood’s entries were deeper and more threatening and put our defence under pressure. Our shallow entries provided many opportunities for Collingwood’s defenders to rebound and get past our first defensive line.
Did I mention that I watched the game with five fanatical Magpie supporters? I was feeling quite smug until Saad lost a contest he’d probably win 9 times out of 10.
