Even at 5 goals up you all knew Collingwood were a chance to lose

Hence the Colli-Wobbles tag

2010 was a classic example of how hard it is for them to win one
Requring a replay after a draw



2018 AFL Trade Period?


Wake me up with the AFL yawn fest

Seen far too many Clubs reported A+ trade periods
followed by a C grade season

When is the 2018 AFL Trade Period?

I think it was more to do West Coast being a more experienced team learning from 2015.

Telk me about it? Carlton are the October champs!

I agree WCs pain from 2015 certainly helped them fight back

Luke Shuey said the 2015 GF loss drove him to react to the 5 goal opening

I actually think West Coast losing GF in 2015 was a mental hinderance at the start
as they started reliving the 2015 nightmare when Collingwood brought the same pressure that brought unbackable Richmond completely undone

Anyone who still believes a 50% superstar is better than a fit role player
I give you an injured Dustin Martin - they might as well have played with 17 on the field


West Coast in the end had the superior big men down the spine

If they had have kicked straight we would have had our traditionally uneventuful
boring 6 goal win

As GFs go this was up there with 2010 , 2005 , 2006 & 1989

Final players trade news stories - which then leads into pick trading

OK, tears are gone, time for my one and only comment.

When WCE got the last 2 goals during the 1st quarter, that's when I knew Collingwood had lost

Bye

[buttsie]

1970 was a 1st half win
1990 GF win
ditto 2010
ditto 2030

Can Eddie keep Nathan in the job that long?

[Motorboater]

Hehehe. Estreeter saw the signs after WC came back with those two goals at the end of the first are?

Just like how everyone knew Collingwood would win the 2010 replay after the Shaw/Riewoldt smother, and Hawthorn had won 2015 after the Hodge banana bender from the boundary.

As a "neutral", I also thought lost their run at end and they were gone. WC were often at the ball first at crucial times. They take the lead, and instead to Collingwood desperately scrambling to get the ball, WC easily created another opportunity finish the game off, only for Darling to screw it up.

If theres one thing thats a proven in football

Never bank on JLT form - why they play it is beyond me - its almost as bad as the xyz game they play with no tackling in rectangle fields thats meant to be a future Olympic sport
between 4 teams nobody in Australia follows.

Never listen to the media or betting agencies


Power beats Melbourne in Melbourne with 4 young debutantes ,
Ds play too many under done players

Adelaide loses again to Hawthorn in Adelaide - Hawthorns record against Adelaide is very good where ever or who ever - says more about Coach v coach - Clarkson has Pyke by the balls

2 ACL knees to key players - they really need to start working out whats causing these issues - personally i think its the interchange allowing players to go to fast for too long
because they know at the end they get a rest - too much stress on the body

results from al round 1 games

Friday night I was damn happy with Geelong beating Collingwood. But today the girls got thumped by Adelaide. Would have been great if both teams had won.

[buttsie]

I dont recall a season with so many upsets

Home teams win 70/100 seems to have gone right out the window


Sydney are last
Melbourne a top 4 certainty are just getting off the canvas

Its quite refreshing in a lot of ways

The AFL 6-6-6- delivers the lowest scoring since the 1960s
I wonder which brainiac is taking repsonsibility for that oops change

Its been said for eons Coaches will always find a way to circumvent rules
that will increase scoring

The only rule that might free up scoring capping interchanges to a small number

It's bad enough losing to Collingwood. But De Goey kicking the dealer was particularly annoying.

It's Malcolm Blight's fault.
