Buckley has orchestrated an excellent demolition of us.
All his tactics for the game worked.
Playing man on man was an excellent decision. Key matchups where they one all of them except Goldsack v Riewoldt.
An awesome display by the pies. I didnt see it coming. They killed us all over the ground.
They were faster than us. More desperate. Cleaner by hand and foot. Smashed us with more pressure.
Played us at our own game and won it hands down.
Goldsack did anything he wanted.
Pendles was clean as a whistle didn’t get tackled ever.
Adams killed it in the middle. Smashed it with ferocious tackling.
Crips was unbelievable.
Brody Grundy was excellent. Killed it and his goal in the last was fitting. He just smashed it especially when Grigg was rucking smashing it 20 metres every time.
They basically did to us what we were supposed to do to them to win the game. Their midfield was that good it made us look second rate. We looked slower, clumsy, we couldn’t run or carry. They controlled the ball with precise kicking. We couldn’t out pressure them because he pressure was on us.
I know that many will say lwe were down which might be true. Certainly Dusty was down and injured a shadow of himself really. Looked cooked by half way through the first quarter.
But Collingwood were so good our boys were just beaten. Weren’t able to do anything we normally do.
Outstanding coaching. Excellent match ups. And the Collingwood boys executed the plan to perfection.
We were down. But only because Collingwood made us that way.
We were poorly coached today started at selection table can't take unfit players in finals.Match ups got wrong Rance on De Goery Grimes was the man.First half to slow to change things up and slow game down.
Can’t agree more plus why didn’t we select a 7 1/2 foot Russian or something ?
