Seems like someone has tried to punch me or some variation of it for the last 5 or so Pies away games I’ve been to, which couldn’t possibly be *my* fault, so think it’s the sensible decision to take this one in from the couch.

Does anyone else remember the last flu affected game we played in?

I know before it was owned by the AFL they had to have a set number of BLOCKBUSTER games there, but not sure why that would continue now.

I thought it was a home game until this morning.

Why are we playing at Marvelhaddomestadiumlands?

Scheduling isn't working well for me this year. Going tonight to my third away game for the season. Only home game I've been to was in Ballarat where I had to pay for a seat. Getting as much use from my membership this year as in 2020.

[Grantysghost]

So not going?

It's unlikely.

Ballarat games kind of take away from the home ground feel even though I enjoy them.

Unfortunately my membership tier only gets me standing which is a far cry from what we get at Marvel.

I had to pay 65 for a seat at the Crows game and it was so cold in that stand I ended up standing with a Crows mate for the second half in the sun.

I actually like the standing but the better half does not xD

I was going to mention that we got to experience this game in a fairly unique way... fun times!

Not sure what was more awkward though, the game day experience or the meeting we attended a few days later when I got grilled.

Both teams look pretty evenly matched;

* Rookie ruckman
* Strong midfields
* No real forward-lines to rely on.
* Shaky defences

Our best players are going to have to play better than their best players and we need to deny Moore & Howe from taking 100's of intercept marks... Bont absolutely has to play forward which aren't the words I would like to be spurting, but I'm of little have faith that Cordy or Khamis (for differing reasons) can give Naughts the support he needs.

Interesting. I'd say Bont 100% needs to play mid so we can win in there and have territory in our forward half and lock it in there.

Either way, we're going to need goals from our mids. Lots of goals.

18 minutes between inside 50’s for Collingwood. Jeez.

[whythelongface]

Great quarter. Best we have looked this year. Couple of brain fades.

[G-Mo77]

What a start to this game. Keep it up Doggies!!

[MrMahatma]

Huge quarter!

Well done boys. A bit of luck went our way and Henry for them flat out shat the bed numerous times. So it prob should be closer on the scoreboard. Take it!

[bornadog]

A couple of stupid mistakes but Good quarter after dominating in the
centre

[Happy Days]

This is pretty good!

[jeemak]

Great start.

I sometimes think about how much of a cockhead I'd have to be all the time to reach BT's baseline level of cockheadedness. I mean, imagine the times you've been the biggest cockhead you've ever been in your life (we're all prone to it), and then imagine doing that every single second, minute, hour and day of your life and then you might get somewhere close to his baseline.

He is such a cockhead.

Robbie Mac's making himself really difficult to accept. West has done a few good things, and I'm stoked for Buk!

[whythelongface]

Good tap work by Sweet. Not much else around the ground but the tap work is critical

[merantau]

Great start and got a couple of breaks in the last three minutes as a couple of brain fades could have been costly.

Lots of good signs. We must be ready. The game cannot continue at this frenetic pace.

[G-Mo77]

Our inclusions haven't looked lost at sea tonight, West, Sweet, Cleary have all done some good things.

[Mantis]

Ed’s having some ordinary moments.

[jeemak]

Richards just needs to keep it simple.

Go to the most obvious and quick option. Even the time he assisted Treloar in the first he should have gone to him earlier in the chain of play, that time he should have gone across the ground to spread the field and open the centre, rather than kicking it to the centre.

If I see him at the local cafe in the morning I'll tell him about it.

[BornInDroopSt'54]

They score, game on.

[jeemak]

The amount of dick kissing going on for Collingwood right now is next level.

[Mantis]

Turnover city now.

Have we swapped jumpers?

[Scraggers]

Our disposals coming out defensive 50 is woeful.

Weathered the storm there a bit of concern we cannot score now.

But, we outscored them in the 2nd quarter.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Enjoyable first half for the most part, even though we're still making plenty of errors. Considering the list we've sent out, it's been a good performance.

Mids have been dominant. Big difference when they're on like this.

Really liking Khamis and the contest he's bringing. Cleary has showed a bit too.

[Testekill]

Is holding the ball or incorrect disposal a rule for Collingwood? Doesn’t appear to be.

What about Smith being legged but them paying HTB but Howe actually getting a tripping free when he was?

[bornadog]

But, we outscored them in the 2nd quarter.

1.5 pathetic

[G-Mo77]

But, we outscored them in the 2nd quarter.

But seemed like they had a bit more play that quarter. Not sure what to make, I'm still not confident

[DOG GOD]

Geez we can very much be the Pakistan of the AFL. Brilliant first. Very avge 2nd. I wish macrae wouldn’t just hand ball over his head helter skelter.

Having said that, west has done alright, sweet holding his own. 24 clearance to 10 at one stage should have us well in front. Henry should’ve had 4 goals and that’s a concern for our backline.

Cleary looks neat with the ball.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Special mentions to West and Sweet - both have been solid.

[DOG GOD]

McNeil, Scott and McComb back to VFL

Scott was 4th on the kms run. He must be running to the MCG and back.

[azabob]

Sitting on the couch but I am again impressed by Khamis forward craft and leading patterns. Dare I say seems a natural forward.

[whythelongface]

McNeil, Scott and McComb back to VFL

Scott has been ok. Has McNeill touched the ball? McComb, as you stated, has poor disposal.

[Jeanette54]

Second weekDunkley not finding that ball much

Two goals in the first quarter, all our forwards should get so little ball.

[merantau]

Pretty amazing that we increased our lead by 2 pts! We really need to come out firing and take this game away from them.

[Mutz]

It's been extremely noticeable tonight.

At first I thought it was a new interpretation of the rule but no, only applies to Dogs.

[Mutz]

McNeil, Scott and McComb back to VFL

Agree completely. Watching West closely and hope he can have some influence.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

50 for that?

Geez AFL sucks.

Yep, extremely disappointing decision.

Some lesser types have had some pretty good moments. Has been a pleasing night so far, hope we finish off this last qtr well.

You do wonder if the Pies are impacted by the flu, heard they've had a few weeks of it. Either way, we've played much better.

[jeemak]

I just want to take a moment to say it's mighty exciting to see how Collingwood can move the ball when they get going, and this is by far the best performance to be 46 points down at three quarter time I've heard.

I haven't watched any of the game, just listened to the commentary.

[whythelongface]

Riley 's game pretty much the exact opposite of the last time he played. Impactful and team focused. Not over doing things trying to make an impact.

He has been really good.

Cleary has been impressive. Sweet has held his own. Khamis lively. Great signs from some of our less experienced

[The Bulldogs Bite]

When you see West tonight, you wonder why he hasn't been able to produce this in the past. Has been a really encouraging selfless, hard at it game.

[The Underdog]

That's probably enough to get us there. I'm still not confident haha

It’s done, just slightly disappointing after the electric start. But it was never going to go that way for 4 quarters. We’d all have given our right arm for a 7 goal lead at 3 quarter time 2 hours ago.

[DOG GOD]

West playing the role to a tee. Could’ve probably had 2 goals if the mids had kicked to him in space within the 50 in the first half.
Treloar definitely BOG. Great game from him.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

I really want to see put them away in the last. We really need a momentum win to put some confidence back in the group. And I don't mean let's go all out offense. I want to see us really display intent, focus, execution and drive this forward right to the final siren.

[josie]

Buku, West, Sweet, Cleary all doing ok. Buku becoming a supporter fave. Love his energy & competitive levels. How good was that opportunistic snap from Naughts? Like they way we fought back in that qtr when it looked like they might be coming back. Need to play this out to the end - build % if possible.

Personally I think they are a mid table team

[G-Mo77]

When you see West tonight, you wonder why he hasn't been able to produce this in the past. Has been a really encouraging selfless, hard at it game.

Probably because he hasn't played for nearly a full season. Hard to do this when you don't get a shot

[The Underdog]

He has been really good.

Cleary has been impressive. Sweet has held his own. Khamis lively. Great signs from some of our less experienced

Cleary needs to tidy his kicking but gets into excellent positions. Love what Khamis has added to the forward line.

[merantau]

Good quarter. Adz excellent. Libba too. We had a lot of good players and are looking hungry. It's just what the doctor ordered

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

He has been really good.

Treloar has been fantastic. I loved that turn in the middle that led to the Scott goal

Listening to the commentary you would think that the Pies were in going to win. The peak in their voices when the Pies kicked 3 in the last was sickening and then they went flat when we kicked a few in a row to wrap up the game. It is like listening to Sky TV - the bias is a joke.

Ditto from me. So the new interpretation is if you cleanly handball/kick the ball but an opponent is holding you then your gone - wtf!

[BornInDroopSt'54]

We were tooooo good.

[Ghost Dog]

Their accuracy tonight was as bad as ours on a bad night. 27% or something in the first half.

Buku arrives! so happy to see him tearing it up.

We can't survive without Chief.

[Go_Dogs]

Buku fast becoming my favourite player. That was awesome.

[jeemak]

Buku fast becoming my favourite player. That was awesome.

I love his hands and that he looks like he doesn't have good ones but does.

[The Bulldogs Bite]

Buku fast becoming my favourite player. That was awesome.

Exciting when you consider he still has so much development as an athlete and as a forward

[Grantysghost]

Listening to the commentary you would think that the Pies were in going to win. The peak in their voices when the Pies kicked 3 in the last was sickening and then they went flat when we kicked a few in a row to wrap up the game. It is like listening to Sky TV - the bias is a joke.

Daicos did a stock standard dodge around no one and straight kick and they highlighted it with Hodge doing a little spotlight and slo mo replay of a basic skill.

They know who their audience is I guess.

[Go_Dogs]

Used to seeing our players drop that open mark. He stuck it no dramas.

Agree. King made a comment after the game we’ll forget JUH quickly. If Buku keeps going like this it’s that exact Marra role and hard to see him being displaced. Also a good lesson in persistence and building a game at VFL level over a period of time.

[merantau]

That was a terrific win. We were challenged in the 2nd and the last but had all the answers.
Some very good performances from Sweet, Khamis, West and Cleary. Our experienced players really performed well. Treloar outstanding, Libba too. Macrae, Bazlenka ran and created all night and the Bont played very well too. Great team effort. Dunks kicked important goals.

[Scraggers]

B U K UUUUUUUUUU :cool:

[Hotdog60]

I think Buku needs to work on his tank.
He's good early but seems to fade later in the game in the off season he needs to work with the Bont.
But he looks to be cementing a spot in the team.

I like what I see of Buku. Good at reading the play, his last quarter goal was good running and being involved in the passage of where the flight of the ball was moving.

He just has to work on his physicality, intensity and body positioning. Once he goes go harder at the ball, his going to be a handful when that happens and establish cult figure. His work rate is there but tank not yet.

Great first quarter absolutely smashed the pies .

Adam Treloar BOG and winning the medal. Thanks Collingwood for paying for this salary :)

[FrediKanoute]

How did Cleary, West and Sweet go?

[jeemak]

They had a really good graphic up showing Treloar vs. Lipinski prior to the game, that showed they were evenly matched across disposals and score involvements etc......but one thing they didn't show was actual goals and prior to today Treloar was leading that six to three.

He's now at nine to four.

I don't mind Lipinski and if he was in our side now it would be a clear sign our midfield wasn't nearly as good as it is. It showed tonight.

[jeemak]

How did Cleary, West and Sweet go?

Cleary accounted for himself well enough, had some calmness when he got it but in reality there wasn't much forward for the Pies. A couple of good kicks, a couple bad. Overall a good debut.

West was really disciplined and clever when he needed to be instead of trying to be all the time. Good game.

Sweet was OK and nullified the ruck contest mostly. Tried hard and laid a few tackles, and if it wasn't for some concrete hands early and at other times of the game would have made a stronger impact. Good first game for the year.

[bornadog]

first time i thought it was my imagination but are they booing buku?

Is there a reason or are they just being as racist as you'd expect?

boooooku

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

How did Cleary, West and Sweet go?

All ended up with a positive performance. Buku early on especially, hitting the scoreboard. West was hard and did some nice work in tight traffic (much like his old man at times).West's only negative was he gave away some dumb, lazy and obvious free kicks.

Sweet was solid, but I'll reserve judgement til he plays against some better opponents.

Cleary handled the occasion well, and was good by foot and definitely quick to pick up the pace at this level.

[angelopetraglia]

Just back from the game and it was a great win. I will never get tired of beating the Pies. The first quarter onslaught really took away the crowd factor too which was nice. Unlike last week we made our early domination count. The Pies had some looks even with our domination but could not take their chances like Port did last week. It is a long way back when you concede the first six goals.

Just so happy for Treloar tonight. Great game. He had great composure with ball in hand and really made his posessions counts. Also nice to finish of his hard work with three goals.

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Just watching the replay and wow, I know its a hard and at times subjective game to officiate, but the inconsistency within the game is frustrating at times. In the first Richards gets pinged for not disposing the ball quick enough, when he was spun in a tackle, despite getting the handball out. OK, I thought he was stiff, but, okay as long as they're consistent......then to see similar situations where a Collingwood player ( I think Noble was one for the Pies) was the one being tackled allowed to go unpunished was puzzling.

[Eastdog]

Just got back from the game with my brother who is a Pies fan.

Very important win tonight for us. Keeps us in the hunt and battle for the finals. Need to get some consistency going now in the season.

The 1st quarter set this game up kicking 6 goals to 1. It evened out as the game went on and the Pies had some moments but we were well in control.

[bornadog]

What did people think of Williams playing wing? Should have nailed two goals as well.

[kruder]

Gardner close to our most improved player this year, he is resilient and even now brave enough now to come inside and back his foot skills. Ok maybe he shouldn't come inside like ever again, but it just shows his confidence at the level is growing.

One thing our fitness staff seem to do well is get players ready to play when coming off injury lay offs, Keath was excellent along side Gardy in his first game back.

Sweet kind of gave us a glimpse of what we look like out of the middle in the first 6 games last year when Martin was winning the hitouts . Never easy to make an impact first up after a long spell well done.

Baz and Buku yes please.

McNiel Scott and McComb um no thanks.

When I saw that decision against Richards I thought of three times Buddy was swung in a 360 tackle in '16 GF that were not called.

Step in the right direction.

[angelopetraglia]

He is definiltey a better option than Roarke Smith. He looked OK. He has a natural attacking flair to his game and he appeared to play with more confidence when not having to worry about a dangerous forward.

Gardner was good tonight and has improved. To be fair, the Pies don't have a genuine tall forward which made our defenders lives easier. We didn't look exposed at all tonight under the high ball.

[angelopetraglia]

We had the top seven disposal winners tonight on the ground.

Baz 41
Macrae 37
Treloar 35
Daniel 34
Libba 31
Dale 29
Bont 26

The Pies had the bottom five dispoal winners

Brown 5
Macrae 4
Madgen 3
McCreery 3
Begg 2

Very different to last week where our best were very goood but then we fell away. This week our best were super but we had a much better contribution across the ground.

[angelopetraglia]

Libba started the season slowly. But he his starting to get his mojo back. Was outstanding tonight. Ran hard all night and had a big influence on the game. Got us going early.

31 touches
12 contested possesions
12 score involvements
8 tackles
4 clearances

I don't mind Lipinski and if he was in our side now it would be a clear sign our midfield wasn't nearly as good as it is. It showed tonight.

I thought Lippa was really good tonight. Worked really hard was second highest distance covered (15k) and had 23 pressure acts.

He played alot across the defensive side (70 percent of his disposal) so not sure why they were comparing goals.

Lippa's big constraint is his leg speed, he's got one gear only!

Treloar was sublime, his best game for us I think.

Lippa has a few constraints. Leg speed is one. Clearance work is another (only one tonight). Also for me, he just isn't tougher enough at times. A few times again needed to go harder at the contest and stand under the ball stronger in marking contests. He isn't a mid I would like to take into a big final.

[jeemak]

He's the player I'm most frustrated with at present. He is good enough to kick one of two goals he's given a chance to kick, but lack composure.

Tonight he ended up with none, after two really good chances and with the latter a plus fifty point win would have been so much better.

The point was they weren't comparing goals, rather, they were comparing everything but goals. They could have also compared time in the midfield, which I reckon Lippa would be faring higher in this year.

I really do like Lippa, and if we didn't have who we have playing then he'd be playing for us. But you point to him getting back and doing it in the defencive half. That's pretty much the last place I want my midfielders making an impact.

[jeemak]

Is anyone else thinking that Doc Duryea is struggling a bit?

It's like there's something weighing on his mind or he's just not quite going at the moment.

Ah got ya.

I like him too, but he was just with us at the wrong time.

You're right, if he was getting game time with us currently it would indicate we'd regressed in the midfield.
Pies list is a bit shit really isn't it.

[jeemak]

You're right, if he was getting game time with us currently it would indicate we'd regressed in the midfield.

And remember, I was talking about the pre-game comparison not tonight's.

The bolded bit I can't really say for sure, all I can say is if we didn't have one or two of who we did then he would probably be getting a game in the middle for us. But then again, Caleb Daniel would probably be getting a game in the middle for us under the same circumstances. It's actually amazing we don't think about Daniel as a midfield candidate given his attributes and how he uses the ball. Let alone his running capacity.

In that scenario Caleb doing things in the middle means we don't have to play him back, and then we don't have a bottle neck of candidates in that area and the defencive six or whatever it is now could probably settle more.

Who we don't play in the midfield and why we don't is a really good example of how coaching and MCs in the game believe how things turn out in a game are on a knife's edge.

[Happy Days]

ß
I thought he played ok. You are so right about the goals. I've seen him doall the work to get into position to kick a running goal on a number of occasions only to see him miss. Frustrating. And the set shot miss was a shocker. He's an attacking player and a long kick. We need his type.

[merantau]

Prior to the Macrae HTB which led to a Collingwood goal, Noble was caught dead to rights twice. So frustrating.
"dead to rights". Haven't heard than idiom for a long time. "Bang to rights" was another variation. It was very common in London in the 70s.

[GVGjr]

Those 50mtr penalties for dissent were clearly wrong, the AFL needs to work with the umpires to tighten up on the interpretation.

[GVGjr]

How good has Khamis been? It's not like he is getting a lot of the ball but he's been impactful. This is not a knock on Marra but it highlights you don't have to get 15 possessions to make an impact.

Agree - thought tonight was a better performance from BW. Still making some silly mistakes (not on his own) but was involved in some nice passages of play. If he can nail some of those shots then this will further enhance his position. He definitely needs to take his chance on the wing as there is a spot for him there (particularly with Hunter out).

[DOG GOD]

Khamis looks like he wants to be part of it. Looks to have a hunger and a desire to succeed. Has a great leap, cat like at ground level.
And the thing I like about Khamis is that he draws the ball, like Naughton, and you get the feeling he just might do something when the ball goes near him.
Jamarra is a #1 pick and with that comes expectations. Jamarra just needs to understand his role, work on his basics and get that hunger. He quite a laconic type, like he’s just going through the motions. I want to see an aggression in the air, and an aggression when he doesn’t have the ball. He will get there if he has that mindset, that he has to work for it and not expect it just coz he went #1.

Brilliant. What a talent.

Societally beneficial too. So many young boys and girls with African heritage out in the west, so unfairly maligned by many it's great to see a yoing guy like Buku show what these kids can bring to our community.
Its a shame in some ways sport is the vehicle but hey Aussies love their sport!

Can't wait to see his career blossom from here.

Marra has some work to do for sure!

[Yankee Hotel Foxtrot]

Caleb Daniel looks like he is in the same boat

Yeah up til 3Qtr time I was marking Caleb down for an anchor mention, but felt he turned the corner in the last with some nice ball use. His pulled kick at the last minute to McNeil was Caleb at his best. Let's hope he continues this trend from here, because he was looking very down on confidence til the last Qtr.

[Hotdog60]

The dissent for Buku who was pushed in the back is overboard to the max and it wasn't called by the nearest umpire calling the shot.
Although the commentary said something about Dunkley and Meredith so may be it was against Dunkley because if it was against Buku that is way, way over the top.

I put a very low level of expectation on Ugle-Hagan this year but even doing that he has been a bit disappointing. That said I'm very bullish on him in the next 12 months.
Khamis has plenty to learn but has brought his Footscray form into the seniors and it will be interesting to see how long he can hold his spot for.

[Jeanette54]

Whist Luke Cleary's debut game was good, what really impressed me was his composure and decision making with ball in hand. Quite at odds with such an inexperienced player at this level.

[Ghost Dog]

Marra to go to CHB in the VFL for a few weeks? Thoughts?

Khamis plays with an urgency and passion for the footy that is noticeable - to be fair, so does Naughton.

Marra needs to add a bit of down and dirty to his game...he's a nice player and would be a devastating player at junior level but the contrast in effort between Jamarra and Khamis right now is stark.

Not a bad suggestion for Marra given supply to the Footscray forwards isn't great but I do feel like he would benefit for a 3 or 4 goal haul there.

It's great to see the non traditional pathway for Khamis is starting to pay dividends. He's got a long way to go but there is something there that we can hopefully turn into s regular senior player.

[Scorlibo]

Those 50mtr penalties for dissent were clearly wrong, the AFL needs to work with the umpires to tighten up on the interpretation.

Yes I thought that dissent could only be following a decision, rather than a non-decision. Khamis appealing for an in the back free kick does not strike me as at all different to players appealing for a deliberate out of bounds free.

[macca]

If your son can see that then the AFL has lost its way

Buku got a push in the back and he was asking was that really a mark ?
Kids are the ones who speak the truth

[The bulldog tragician]

On one of the Fox shows the question was raised if you can also “be dissented” :) if you’re upset about a non decision. E.g we execute a perfect tackle, as the ball slips free, the ump does not make a call and we make a gesture of the arms to indicate he/she should have. Or we are held in a marking contest and throw the arms out to indicate we’ve been held. Apparently Brad Scott was specifically asked, and said it’s dissent and a free could be paid.

The fact that Scott whose in the box idiocy and petulance was second to none is in charge of this agenda is mind blowing. And as always it’s inconsistently and confusingly applied.

[Grantysghost]

I was initially ok with 666, but coupled with stand and the kick outs where you can run to the centre it's become a game devoid of the ability to defend consistently.

Goals goals goals!

Games have these huge run ons at the moment and they can't be stopped.

[MrMahatma]

More and more the AFL is losing the plot. Games are becoming almost unwatchable with absolute stupid rules.

Living in a rugby league heartland, I have a few mates who watch footy with me and then, regularly go “what is going on? What are the rules?” And occasionally they put swear words in to emphasise particular parts of that sentence. It’s hard to welcome people to the sport at the moment. It’s so over officiated that it’s inaccessible for people. The administration of the sport has lost their focus - which should be “a match that is fun, safe and accessible for everyone to play and watch”. It’s just crazy.

And I say this as… the DeGoey 50 was the most rubbish free. Even way worse than the Buku one. It’s just nuts.

A couple of weeks ago I said to try Marra on the wing. Make him run not jog. I will stick to that.
