2018 VFL Rd 1: Northern Blues vs Collingwood

[Baggers]

201 to 71... a 130 pt drubbing at home from Rottingwood.

Only positives I could see were than Sam Rowe got through another game and Phillips did well in the ruck, so much so that they roved to him.

Can’t say I agree with your assessment of Kerridge, Graham and Sivagni - I’ve just returned from the game and none of those players impressed.  Kerridge’s disposal was abysmal and Graham and Silvagni kept getting caught by no-namers in the VFL.

Re Harry McKay - if he wants to play AFL he might actually show some intent to get the ball - he just doesn’t want it enough and spent most of the day floating behind the contest rather than making the play.

Phillips and O’Brien looked Ok at times.

Other than that, nothing to see at the Northern Blues other than a cast of blues players who all looked like they need a good square meal. Pathetic.

Yep, a long way from AFL footy.

Agree on Kerridge and Graham..just garbage....Jack is ultra slow...

Best was Philips ......Kerr and Harry show ability, Obrien is a nice kick but another smaller type  and was ok at times...Pies were too slick and smart, even Mayne got a kick today...Jesse GMac was about as bad as I have seen...

Yep Mayne looked great and Josh looked more like Peter against us. Fasolo was having a laugh....

What we wouldn’t do for a Michael Conlon type

Where to from here is the question???
I hope someone has some answers coz I'm totally at a loss.

Send all the kids and Cripps back to the VFL and leave them there for the rest of the year.
Let them develop a team ethic and learn to play together for one another.
Bring them back up at the start of next year...add a touch of Docherty as Captain...and away we go.

(and I'm only half joking )

I like it. If it's "time playing together..... to gel" they need. We couldn't do any worse surely.

May as well do it at AFL level instead.

Gws and gold coast didn't win much and got their fair share of thumpings.

Not averse to that idea.
I'd keep Kreuzer in the side though.
Apart from that 25's and under

[ElwoodBlues1]

I would get Teague to coach the NB's........that was scary today what we saw and I believe no Collingwood team has scored 200 plus points before.
Thats bad for the kids and we need more fight shown than today, you cant ask supporters to stick with a club delivering that rubbish performance.
Bolton should hold a crisis meeting and put everyone on notice including himself......
