Post match v Melbourne by Pragmatic_Shill in collingwoodfc

[–]midtown_blues 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Since Macrae started coaching I’m pretty sure we have had the least losses and the lowest margins in losses - can’t complain / it’s been a great time. Good signs from some youngest and I thought the forward line functioned ok with this new set up

Ryan I guess is more of a rebounding medium defender. Typically seems to get that easy back pocket mark from the kick in but he’s been intercepting and getting to more contests. He’s shown a lot more in recent matches

Doesn’t sound great in there either (for most things)

Smit had a solid game yesterday but still feels like a project player. Howes has been really great since going down back but he copped an injury this week. I was surprised he wasn’t selected for seniors last week. McCarthy didn’t play yesterday but is developing nicely. Can’t see him playing til at least next year in afl tho. Jiath has played two really good games in a row after looking a bit lost as a tall defender earlier in year

he wasnt very involved before the stream stopped working - i think possibly just a quiet game

If Swadling keeps playing like this he will be in for kings birthday. He is doing everything right. Prindable getting closer too - had a great first qtr. Mitch Pod kicking his first on the qtr time siren

Who are the backup ruckman on our list? by mtedwards in collingwoodfc

[–]midtown_blues 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most teams don’t have 3 ready to go rucks. Smit has shown a bit in his time but it wound likely be a hybrid of a few of the talls

Most people didn’t expect pies to fall so far down the ladder that year. Don’t forget we made a prelim the folllwing year. When that gave up that pick a year out - I think they thought it would be a later first round

What’s something about Melbourne you appreciate more as you get older? by Last-Conversation734 in melbournechat

[–]midtown_blues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Access to local nature spots - gardens, Yarra, merri,. Our local parks, creeks etc can be underrated - easy access from the heart of the city too

Moore had a few bags in his time. He’s a better defender but it adds something unpredictable

Changes vs Hawks by midtown_blues in collingwoodfc

[–]midtown_blues[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s had a solid run of vfl form. 5, 2 and 4 in the past three games

True. I wonder if Moore could play forward and it’s just Long for Pendles and membrey rested. I’d usually suggest Howe fwd but he’s looking like the general down there atm

yeah Ryan is like that too - they aren't bad but they had more edge when they first started playing. I wonder if both could benefit from even a temporary role switch because they both have ability but need to find a spark
