I have tickets to this game, but I've got a bit of a cold at the moment and don't know if I'll get there. Cheer for me!
1st goal to them.
A lot of empty seats for a sold out game.
Charlie goals
6 all
Weitering shoulder.....please no.
Pies are tough at the ball and Howe down back makes a real difference.
Weitering a real worry...
Game over unfortunately.
We'd have to double the I50's from here out to break even on the scoreboard and i'm not sure we can do that.
Got some poor matchups on the wings..
Weitering AC joint..
We need it to rain and rain now.
We have an abundance of smalls and need to get the ball on the deck as much as possible. Its our only hope.
I HATE CAMERON LING
We look off. If we are a real top 3 side even with our full back out we still imo should have this mob covered.
They are a mid tier team at best coming off a wet hard game in WA last week.
Keen to see what this group is made of now.
They're working harder and running harder.
There has been a couple of times when it looked like our blokes could make a contest and they haven't gone hard enough.
We can't cover the loss of Weitering.
It means some of our smaller backs have to work harder and they've got their hands full with their own opponents.
Mentally, the players will be concerned about the loss and realise its significance.
They'll have to put that to one side... and lift.
Pies with loose players everywhere, Josh Daicos needs an opponent.

Plowman and stocker have to shorten the leash. Can’t give Elliott and that blond tool room or they will cut us up.
Need our midfield to dig deep and get on top bigtime to win this from here
Awful disposal is killing us, the Pies are emulating the Dawks and Port and sprinting through our midfield almost untouched.
Guys like Elliott and Adams are too quick for our blokes, Fisher, Owies and Durdin need to have more of an impact, if they don't we won't be able to keep up with them on the break.
Terrible effort. Look like a bottom team
Fat side of the ground is the Filth's today, we aren't even getting close to them.
Only three goals down and midfield not playing to their best. Just need to keep cracking in
How unlucky is this group
Their good players are on which isn't helping...not really the Weitering factor they are just up for the contest and have all their awkward matchup players in for this game.
Starting to really worry about how we'll go in the second half if we are trailing by a significant margin.
Crippa!!!
We've had a bit of a run on, but i think its prolonging the inevitable. I don't think we can sustain this. If the pies start to kick straight, it will be a belting.
F*** me, Curnow pulled that one out of his backside.
What a goal Charlie
Good comeback with straight kicking, hope we can keep it up and they keep kicking poorly.
Very professional piece of tempo footy by us, stopped a lot of the Pie run.
Weitering shoulder.....please no.
The unspoken 🤐 worse case scenario
I'm speechless, again, with regard to injuries.

I think it’s key to winning, we need to keep Moore and that other boofhead out of the play, so need to keep playing the short option.
Fantastic comeback by the boys to finish the 2ndQ.

Yep, the nightmare we haven’t wanted to be real, now is.
So who are we looking at in the draft now…?
Didn’t Taylor sound stupid (stupider) when he suggested sos could move down back to cover Weitering because …”he’s played a lot down there…” 🙄🤦🏼♂️
If last week was a test of resilience, the next 70 minutes is a test of resilience, courage, determination, and full blown footy spirit.
Go Blues

BT by definition is stupidest 😋
Plowman is cooked. Can’t wait to get the regular defenders back so he is back in the 2s. Just can’t play under any sort of heat.
I feel sorry for the coaches - they want to build a team but injuries don't allow to put a structure on the park.
Do we take a punt on Marchbank? VFL form great but with the bye he'll be 3 weeks between games
Be a good result if we hold on next five minutes
Nice defence Plowman. Any chance you can attack the ball
Defensive structure is totally lost.
@shawny
"Can’t wait to get the regular defenders back"
Who exactly are they again?
Bombing the ball down forward won't work vs Moore and Howe, been smashed on the wings by Sidebottom and J Daicos.
Our body language looks defeated. That was not a great third quarter. Sure a quarter to go, but it isn’t looking good.

He got Durdins mixed up last week. This week he got Silvagnis mixed up. Surely was thinking of Stephen (or Ben). Jack...not so much.
Cottrell is totally unaccountable against Sidebottom. He's too smart not to sit on until we get possession. They should start feeling legweary shortly. Interstate trip in the wet, shorter turn around.
Little bit too short - not getting the contested marks. But we have more runners hope the boys rise to the challenge.. Harry would have been handy now.
This is not done. I think we preserved some energy in that quarter as the game was played almost kick to kick. Time of tour midfielders to rip this quarter apart.

We're pushing our wings Cottrell and Fisher behind the footy to cover the loss of Weiters, it's the forwards that should be covering blokes like Sidebottom standing free on the fat side.
I'm sorry but Motlop is a non-event today, he's not contributing enough when we do not have the footy.
I think we've played better than i expected post-weitering.
We've hit 100+ points for 4 weeks running i think.
This time....waste time, keep it close, because if its a shootout, we are done.
Commentators are complaining about us always playing straight down the line....but everytime we don't a turnover results in a shot on goal. This way we are wasting time as well as conserving energy.
I'd like to see us kick a few more chaos ball I50 because bombing long when you only have 1 tall up forward is not working for us.
Bring the smalls into the game.
Honestly, if we pull off a win in this one, it will be our best win for the year IMO.
Down back we've lost...
Weitering
Jones
McDonald
McGovern
Marchbank
Young
Plowman
Kemp

If fit, he must play I’m afraid
Another tight one
If fit, he must play I’m afraid
We have the bye next week, so he should play
Front on contact.......with his back after he turned to face the football???

Then Newnes cops front on contact and it's play on Filth.
Save us the pain final siren. Please go already.

Tend to agree, Young has been down today and losing Weitering has left us short.
Pies intercept work has made us struggle, and when players like Cox are on their game you know it isn't our day..
Plowman has been slaughtered by Henry...
Game over me thinks
"Plowman looks uncomfortable 1 on 1"
*Plowman dominates 2 second later and takes a mark in a 1 on 1 contest*
Bias showing through.
Game over me thinks
I said that 2 minutes after Weitering went down.
Still its only 2 goals in 5 minutes.
F*** me.
We couldn't.....could we?
No points, but pride and heart on display.
Unlucky

Yep, not disgraced, they were probably the better team but we competed well after losing Weitering..
Boys now take a well earned break - hopefully some key players return shortly after in a very big 2nd half of the season for the club
Very happy with out first half of the season and the upside is still immense
Reckon Walsh was stiff not to get that high tackle with 3 seconds to go.
Missing the current Coleman Medallist, All Australian full back for 2022, our No 1 ruckman and in form midfielder and we were 23 points down with 7 mins to go and could have pinched it. I'll accept it.

Only have to read back to see that most wrote us off at the time of Weiters going down.
The way they worked through it was great to see, they will not be disheartened by losing to a team that played well and the major structural injury that we got.
The important thing is, who do we pick up in the draft now… ?

Has to be a couple of taller utility KP types who can give us some cover at each end.

Weits is the heart and soul of our defence and his loss was massive. We definitely need to have a better Plan B to cover this situation.
Who’s on your whiteboard?
Probably one with previous AFL experience and one who can develop.
Connor Ballenden ,Sam Durdin or Blake Schlensog as the former and maybe J Cripps, or Wade Derken as the developing player..

Same old collingwood criminals hurt us ... again.

Defo too soon 🤣🤣

A young Sam would be handy, Ballenden would be similar...
