This is going to sting a few people but I saw him back out and not smash it at the ball tonight - twice!
First one was in the 1st quarter, he could have smashed Hille and the ball coming in from the side, instead he veered behind, missed body contact and waited for the cheap spillage - pee poor effort.
2nd time was in the 3rd quarter high ball to the top of 50 he was under it and couldve scrambled 10-15 metres to hit the oncoming lead but stayed out of harms way allowing crameri to take an easy mark.
Captain of collingwood, as limited a footballer as he is, would have killed the ball and man on both those occassions. I'll bet this doesnt even get mentioned in the review bc he's our captain.
I was more dissapointed about those 2 incidents than anything else tonight. Very very poor effort
