AFL Round 9

[Armchair expert]

4 of them and they can't see a bloke is out cold.

[MW]

IN: R Burton 3, J Sinn 8, C Moraes 31, D Visentini 38, J McEntee 41
OUT: J Berry 5 (omitted), W Rioli 15 (suspended), L Evans 22, J Sweet 24, W Lorenz 36 (omitted)

Desperate.

An upgrade on every line there

Yet they can see a jumper tug from 170m away. Collingwood will get hauled up for not calling for a stretcher no doubt, but the umpires will be scott free! What a friggen joke.

Longmuire has to go. They have about as good a system as Melbourne moving forward. To much talent to be this inefficient and slow with there ball movement.

This is a horrendous loss against an undermanned Collingwood on 5 days rest and injuries on the bench
Are Collingwood just that good?

I think you're on the money about it being a bad loss.

Freo had 62 inside 50s to Collingwood 34.

Freo won more clearances.
Freo won more contested ball.
Freo had more uncontested possessions as well.

On those numbers it can only be about the system going forward.

Looking at it analytically - and without watching a minute of the game (except for the replay of Schulz getting KO'd), those numbers suggest Collingwood put numbers in their back 50 and tried to slingshot out of their own back 50? Would that be right?

More that Freo just bombed it into forward 50 which made it relatively easy for the defenders

Collingwood are so good at scoring from your turnovers
They almost wait for your mistake and then pounce
Going to be hard to beat in September when full strength

But but we always here how the underdog wins..

I just read Tugwells thread on it on X.
Interesting read from the outside.

Wonder what the AFL average is

[Armchair expert]

Saints are certainties, how Carlton are favourites is hurting my brain.

[amber_fluid]

Must win for the Blues!

They mentioned they're having some issues with it — the score even disappeared for a bit too!
