The Sky is Falling
« on: April 20, 2013, 08:01:26 PM »
Lids is now crap, shoot Rance, drop Vickery, Martin has had it, Houli is no good, Grigg sux, get rid of Petterd, put McGuanne down back,   the coach was out coached......geezus after one loss. A reality check is all we had from a better side.

We will have a few more against Sydney, the Hawks, the Cats, the Dockers, Eagles and the Roos, win a couple of them and we are ok.

We should be more peeed off if we don't beat the Suns, GWS, Dees, Crows, Lions and Port!!

Next week will tell us more about our team, not today!

Agree with the gist of the msg WAT but today told us plenty about our team  :thumbsup We've improved as the first 3 weeks have shown, but we still have a ways to go! Not a bad thing to cop a reality check early on in the season, especially when we've had a 6 month love in about how much we've improved and where we're going. Learn from today and get better. We want finals, we're going to have to earn it, it won't just happen

Well said Tony. Definite wake-up call today.
We're still building and need to learn from games like this. It's a good thing we have depth now because we can make some changes if we see fit.
Not the end of the world, as WAT is implying.

Billshit! 
We got our pants pulled down because we are SOFT
The boys poo themselves today, Scared of our own shadows.

If there was ever a time to beat the pies it was today, to make a statement and tell the comp. "we're not going to be pushed around anymore!"

But all we've proved is that when you apply the pressure on us we crack and panic.

Harden up FFS!

Just thought today showed what some of us knew and that is we still have a way to go to match it with the top 4 teams.

What was disappointing though was a number of our players again got stage fright, that's a concern but part of me wasn't shocked by it, disappointed yes but not shocked

Today told us something about our club next week will tell us even more

There is no doubt we have the skill to beat the Pies. I know it doesn't look like it on today's effort but we do.

Today's problem was a mind problem. We allowed ourselves to become "hunted" we didn't "hunt".

There was a time when i would have said that we didn't handle the pressure today but i think in a sporting sense, one doesn't "handle" pressure, one "creates" pressure. In order to win one must either equal or better the pressure created against them, obviously we didn't, and we lost.

We were out created on the day.

Just thought we had 20 minutes of hell in the 3rd and that resulted in game, set and match

Yes Willy and TM, very well said.

Mr T......  :police:
What are u on about WAT?

I was right and so was Paul Roos in his article today.

The signs were there in the first 3 games and many didn't acknowledge it.
Poor tackling numbers, low pressure act stats, low contested possession.

Today I was at the game in the hope that they'd be fierce, hard and would pressure them but half way through the second qtr the pies started to apply the pressure. I reckon the we all could smell the fear so the pies knew all they had to do was ramp up that pressure and go in for the kill. It's probably all they spoke about in the half time break.
 I spoke to 2 Collingwood supporter at the half time break (who thought we were going ok) and I told them exactly what was going to happen in the third and it unfolded exactly as I said it would.
We got our pants pulled down and spanked. We were like scared little toothless baby cubs.
It needs to be addressed and it needs to happen now!

Add Cotchin to that list. Worse than all of the above. Can't kick or tackle.
