Were still not at our best getting the job done so plenty of improvement still.What I like about us now is that we have a switch were we can blow a game open and score heavily sign of a good side.

Thats what pleases me the most, Id hate for us to be peaking at this stage of the season, its just too long a season to be playing at your best from this early. I agree with you that our decision making, ball movement and unforced errors are still quite sloppy, so we'll tidy that up and improve

We won't win them all and we're probably due to lose one soon but it's pretty good to play like that and still get the points. Better to have games like that and even a loss before the business part of the season to find out where we are weak. Reckon Collingwood did great at not letting us lock the ball in our 50. They know we like to get it in and bring it to ground but they swarmed the contest and got it out before we had a chance to set up and lock it in. Clearly something we only did half arsed today.

Agree.   :thumbsup
Collingwood were very good at getting many more numbers in our F50 and were able to rebound easily.
The club that keeps giving.

I thought it was a pretty ordinary performance from us. We have a touch of the Arsenals about us, if we can just get back to playing normal football without so much of the pretty stuff we'll be very hard to beat. Just a comment on Jack Graham, he seems to have lost that freshness he had last year, been a very ordinary start to 2018 for young Jack.

I've seen many views claiming that Collingwood took the points today, they may be right too.  They won the hit-outs but we won the clearances, they won won the disposals but we gained more territory, they took more 'marks of the year' but we scored more goals, they won 2 quarters ... but we got the only 4 points that matter!  They can have their honorable loss, they can have the media fawning all over them, but we'll have the win!   
Suck on that Collingwood!    ;D

Agree did not play well. Thought Short was very impressive. A lot of players were quiet eg Grigg, Edwards and Kamydn. Thought our tackling was not as good as usually is and I thought we were caught too many times holding the ball-an indication of slow decision making. However having said it was good to win like we did against a good team who was in form. Grimes and Jack were impressive.

Agree Ramps. He's lost that spark, I'd give him a spell up forward - a lovely kick for goal and he can put on pressure.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

More appropriate Metallica songs would be either King Nothing for Buckley or Sanitarium for their fans..... :shh
