Lots of tiggy touchwood frees. Umpires need to learn people don’t come to see them umpire. Just pay the obvious frees

Withheld the dam wall in that quarter - hopefully a counter punch in the next.

Lucky we’re not a few goals down IMO.

Collingwood putting a heap of pressure on us, can’t get that quick ball movement up a running.

Made a few mistakes, burnt a few golden opportunities going inside 50.

Our apparent advantage in the talls/ruck department is not showing for much at this point.

Great first quarter by Clark, some really silky moments.

And 1 free did not get a goal

It's a good sign that we are level given that we were smashed on the clearances in the first 15 minutes. We came back a bit in that regard. Hunter was great and didn't fumble like a few others. There were a few who chose not to run at the ball on occasions.

I’m liking this so far. 2 very skilled sides and we are one of them

Both applying heaps of pressure. 2 fifties helped. But that would keep Curley happy

Clarke looking good

Getting thrashed in the clearances.

It’s all about Colonwood and Nick Daicos.

🥱

I hope Joffa Corfe is enjoying this game behind bars.

I didn’t notice whatever it was for. Possibly another technical decision.
