Foster's cup game against little pies.

Zippers woulda been very busy.
I was sitting back and watching the gun at his best.
He is a road runner.
He has defences scrabbling
He is why we are good.
He will be kicking more bags of goals this year.
Should've had 4 goals in the first qtr.
 
The last 2 bounces we had
Chol Bolton Martyn RCD
collingwood's ruckman is well below his best, hopefully he has passed it. Nank towelled him up in the ruck, around the ball, earning free kicks. he only dominated against Chol.

Any one notice with 2 or 3 minutes to go big bad busling Dacs pulls out of a contest at half forward.
I thought Side step Stephenson was the only jibber at Collingwood.

The mob want Thomas, Forskin Elliot and the Brown Brothers gone.

Its going to be a good year.

The free was *smile*. The fifty was Noah being a *smile* n threw the ball back along the ground.

Hey - how did you get (the word) *smile* into a post?
I've never understood the filter thingy and just assumed *smile* was banned even if that in itself was complete *smile*.

The game turned, not only because Cotchin, Grimes and Dusty went off.
As soon as Nakas was off Grundy came into the game. Before that he was useless.
Nakas is the hardest working ruckman in the comp.
He is the best at dropping deep into oppostion forward lines.
He looks super fit.
Huge concerns with Grundy.
1 million bucks for the next 6 years.

After 10 years. You can say that Buckley has taken a premiership team and turned them into a middle of the road team.
If Penderbury goes, they look like a bottom 6 team.
I cant see any improvement from any kids. Qyanyour is the only kid that has real promise.

As we know Chol has terrific spring but was jumping way early against Grundy and allowing him take it away.
But he showed a lot more endeavour yesterday, which was a major improvement. Very pleased to see that.

Of the others also in line for selection against the Blues,
Caddy, Aarts and Collier-Dawkins all did well.
Probably only the one spot up for grabs with Houli out from last years premiership team.

Love it to go to Collier-Dawkins but I expect it to go to Caddy.

How’s that *** Dwayne Russell. I just can’t have that bloke.

In the first quarter he screamed free kick to Grundy citing Nank had got into his back when he absolutely hadn’t and totally ignored the infringement against Dave behind them both.

Fortunately the umpire saw, and called it all correctly, and gave a free to Dave and not Grundy.

Not long after, we started to get on top and Russell’s abject barracking against us again went right out the door and he had to resort to the odd bland platitude instead.

He’s a ****. It’s so obvious he hates us in his calling and on his radio show. He should just save himself the embarrassment and just say he hates us.

I’d have more respect for him if he did.
Nothing compares to when he called the game against the Cats back 2017. Drown them in their honey!!! *smile* off Dwayne! Call the game and stop acting like nuffie supporter!

Of their generation Buckley, Hird and Voss all failed as coaches. Not sure why Collingwod hung on this long.

Watching the replay now. Hate the man-on-the-mark rule. Hate it. Absolutely ****king ridiculous rule! Hate it! Is it a ***king conspiracy. Tigers team defence made a point of being aggressive on the mark. New rule cracks down on it?! Also Dwayne Russell is *smile*.
And the umps yelling out STAND every 2 minutes total cringe

I can see Marlion coming out of the side.

Assuming Prestia and Lynch get up I would say it's

Out: Houli, Pickett
In: Caddy, Aarts

...
Unfortunately this is a feature of Mabs game. Was hoping it was a bug. I don't believe it's a timing thing. My assessment was always that he doesn't like the contact so he either goes early or just doesn't go at all and hopes his smarts/speed will let him snag a pudding when the other ruck stumbles against thin air. Didn't work for Vickery, won't work for Chol. I don't think we'll see him on the regular if he can't get this out of his game.

Just for the record.

Once again we were on the losing end of frees.

Mudpies......31.....Tigers 24

And, that free to the lanky Yank by Chol was a disgrace. Another free in front of goal, and a goal of course.
 
Sorry if it’s been mentioned , however did I hear Dwayno say 5 minutes into the game something like “ he’s just come onto the ground so he should be fresh” ?

Great leadership by Dusty and Jack to put the head wobbler yank in his place. Loved Baker joining in also.
