Carlton thrashing West Coast.

Carlton's percentage won't matter but gives them confidence. They have Collingwood Saints and Melbourne next which will decide their season

Richmond the other team with a draw also have a tough run home and I can't see them making it

Hawks ran out of legs but they are doing a proper rebuild of personnel and game plan. You can see what Mitchell is doing - another couple of pre-seasons and their young list will be able to run the full game/season out.

West Coast need to do the same to rebuild. Pain for a few years but then setup the next 5 or 6

Daicoses are interesting with their little legs like Leigh Matthews and Caleb Daniels turn on a five cent coin and skilled at reading play and kicking.
They can weave, duck and twist remaining balanced to deliver

That Farrell dropped mark where Sidebottom just didn't give up on it and pressured from a losing position to halve it was the moment for me.

Think he did the deliberate too.

He is a bloody good player. Enjoy watching him. Clever, deft touches, pure class. Seems like a nice bloke too. Like all the really good clearance players he seems to have more time and create space around him.

I really love that they use the corridor and just push it forward however they can. Helter skelter footy whereas when we tried to overtake them a couple of weeks ago we still propped and waited for a “good” option. Mind you we have no Jamie Elliott equivalent do we. You just knew he would slot that one.

You just knew he would slot that one.

Its crazy that Collingwood have so many players who can cleanly pickup the ball, and just know how to execute in the moment.
Is it they have a good core group , ,(pendles, sidebottom, daicos even Hill and Degoey) that the others feed off ? Or is it possible to train for clean possession?

Sedat

Yeah I know they are awesome, but all this love for the filth is making me sick.

They are 0-2 in close matches in September under McCrae. May that trend continue in 2023.

Yep. You still have to get it done when it matters and it is a different ball game in September. However, from what I have seen they are a much better team this year compared to last year. In saying that, I would love nothing better than to see them go out in straight sets.

Against the better teams in the comp, how have they gone this year?

Lions and Demons have beaten them. They have then won six by less than 15 points.

Tigers by 14.
Saints by 6.
Essendon by 13.
Crows by 1.
Crows by 2.
Dogs by 12.
Port by 2.

For a team that is sitting two games clear on top of the ladder, they still look gettable on the right day.

Agree Sedat I hated them in the 1960's and I still hate them. Their supporters especially at Victoria Park were violent. I was king hit one Saturday afternoon out there so I will always hate them with a passion.

Yep they can fawn all they want but what really matters is what happens in September. Sure they may look the goods but let’s wait till September to determine if they really are any good.

Attendances at their games have been incredible with already over 1 million. Of course they get to play at the big venues and don't play Tassie, ACT, NT, Cairns, Ballarat etc.

Plus - when you have Maynard saying things to upcoming opponents like he did to Port last week - "Bring your best stuff, we're coming for you..." - I mean, who WOULDN'T want to get the popcorn ready for that one.

They have a great attitude towards the game (anytime, anywhere) and winning (we CAN do it) no matter what the result.

I still maintain that Melbourne with Oliver and us are BAD MATCHUPs for them due to our stoppage prowess...you could maybe throw Brisbane in that group if you have faith in the Lions in September (I don't). But they are rightful faves at the end of July.

But he's doing a hell of a job. The downside for them is that they can kind of only go down (i.e. they kind of NEED to win the flag now..)

Yep. If they lose another prelim and then have a less than satisfactory year next year all of a sudden he's being questioned on his methods, his style, the team's output, stuff beyond his control.

Yeah Bevo was a God for 3 years....now look.

Playing with expectations is far different to playing with house money. Unfortunately there's probably no better example of that than us.

I really like McRae as well. But the pressure will build and build until a flag is won.

While I'm still right behind Bevo as the coach I do feel that the club and a decent part of our supporter base don't like expectations being placed on the club getting results especially after our GF win.
