What was wrong with Collingwood yesterday?

Question

Leon Davis, Paul Medhurst and Dale Thomas wern't running like they normally do. Anthony Rocca was like a statue for most of the game and Travis Cloke didn't even get close to the ball. They didn't get good clearances out of the centre, even Chris Judd who sux was getting to the ball first. What the h**l!?

Answer 1

Carlton were the better team on the day

Answer 2

Not sure what was wrong with them, maybe they got a little cocky this week because they were playing carlton. I know north had a shocking start against the dees, maybe for the same reason. I just hope collingwood play c**p again this week cos they've gotta play the mighty roos!!

Answer 3

Collingwoods problem is a coach who has gone past his use by date.

Malthouse is sick of the gig, and it shows. Step aside Micky and let someone else have a go at introducing more modern training methods.

Micky looks  like a grandfather to the players.

Get rid of the coaching dinosaurs, and employ a coach who can run with the players, or at least get involved in a physical sense.

Answer 4

Nothing extra-ordinary was wrong with Collingwood yesterday.

They are just not a good enough team to play consistent good football. They'll win a few, loose a few - they'll perform like they do every year .....show some promise during the season & then fall in a hole at crunch time.

Answer 5

can you email me and tell me how old you are please, i am not being a smart Alec here but you seem to be about 12-13, if so we can make allowances for some of your statements, stop being a sore loser, the fact is that people like you put all your collingwood players on a pedestal, they are not as good as you think they are, its not their fault, its the expectations of collingwood supporters, rocca plays one good game out of 10, as does cloke, medhurst and Thomas, Davis has improved in that department.

as for your statement about Chris Judd, that is just moronic, fair dinkum, how could you say that, he is an absolute gun, i said and so did others that he would not be back to his best till next year, but he is getting better each game, lay off him, just because he chose Carlton, people like you would be one of the reasons, i know of a collingwood player, 25 years old, who is quitting the game because of the magpie supporters that continually bag him, he has had enough of it, this was the start of last year b4 he was injured and the fact that he cannot get a game now is not the reason, as he decided this b4 the start of last season, just grow up a bit and stick by your team, only last week you were saying, ain't colligwood the best side ever. they will do ok.

don't crack the $hits either, take some advice and learn from it.

Answer 6

I'm beginning to think that the coach was the problem for Collingwood yesterday.

Answer 7

FIGJAM!!!!!!!

Answer 8

they try to stop Judd and forgot about stopping carlton.

Answer 9

Yea I know that and the Brisbane game screwed up my tips

Answer 10

yes it was disappionting but hey that's the way it goes. our players did seem slow.  however it was good to see nathan brown play foward he kicked 2 goals which was good!!!

i don't think we have much to worry about we just had a bad day.

our players didn't go out to win so hopefull next week they can bounce back with a win.

however we can't take anything away from carlton  cos they were the better team on the day.

Answer 11

Midfield weak

played the flanks all day

Once we took it down the middle 2 goals in 30 sec

we played to wide

and no one stood up

josh is a bad choise for captain as he is not a leader

we played rubbish

Answer 12

yeah that is all true carlton actually ran with the ball and were playing exciting footy thats why they lost and the pies didnt expect that so they just stopped

Answer 13

Every1 (All the teams) were absolutely knacked from rivalry round so the teams we expected to win (apart from Geelong) lost
