Elliot not-handballing to Cox and selfishly trying to kick the goal himself in the goal square was the worst
There so many to mention.
But yes that was a shocker.
As bad as when Thomas spoiling Elliott marking 35m directly in front.
Collingwood last night looked like a team all playing for there futures.
It was the worse team orientated game ive seen in a very long time.
But wasn't Buckley the biggest individual player in a team sport?

Think it's a given he'll take on the captaincy next year..... comes across as the most intelligent of that lot.

Speaking of captains, is Pendlebury the greatest *smile* whinger playing the game?..... he spends half his time sooking it up and is probably the reason he gets plenty of leeway!
Missed the ball by a foot and still carried on that he made an attempt. .. gotta Be Better than that.
When gun players drop off with age they get angry I guess at their non-performance and resort to whinging and cheap shots at the opposition. Selwood is another classic example. I hate to say it but I think Cotch may be getting there too.

I was only dipping in and out of the game but they seemed to lack skills, cohesion and work rate. That the Dogs didn't put them away doesn't say much for them either.

They are the complete antithesis of the Tiges is unbelievable. Compare that to the night before Dusty marking maybe 10m out on an easy kick for him, handballs over the top for Georges 2nd goal. Elliott didn't even mark his, it was a loose ball and still didn't do the team thing.

They play as a complete bunch of individuals and then wonder why they suck. De Goey is another one, whenever he's around the 50m arc he almost always goes for goal, rarely looks for other options. Dusty is the total opposite, probably looks for options when he should be going for goal but I'd never take that away from him, its what makes him so good.

Like I said earlier, only round 1, but they looked like they are not playing for Buckley. Last Q and a half, game was there to be won, they just wandered around like Browns cows.

Will be gone before seasons end is my guess, no doubt Ed will put his hand up for the gig

The dogs aren't that good either.
For all there dominance Collingwood were only 10 points down mid way through the last qtr.
They too struggle to kick goals +27 inside 50's

Why do the media keep on saying that Buckley has had a terrific last 3 years?
He has finally destroyed Collingwood.
The countless draft picks traded away for duds like Aish, Beams and Treloar. there's no quick recovery out of this.

Reading that De Goey had his bail extended on the indecent assault charge and will front court on August 9 ..
Pies spending up keeping him available ...

Our boys have been very quick to take up social issues. Banned Triple M for a while. Convinced the other clubs to take a knee.

In light of what's happening in Australia at the moment, I reckon our boys should refuse to play against DeGoey while he has been charged with sexual assault.

The would really *smile* with the AFL's head

it would Baloo. The De Goey story has stayed quiet, and considering what's happening at the moment, that's a little surprising.
