Collingwood go down again.

I am such a passionate Collingwood supporter but the game against Geelong on Saturday night hit me where it hurt.

There are a number of players that either need to leave or pumped up.
I don’t think there is one Collingwood player that actually looks solid; most of them are young and skinny. Top players like Leon, Cloke, Didak, Thomas all went to sleep when the pressure was put on the team.

Where is the leadership and the player that can turn the game around?

The only time I ever seen it at Collingwood was right before Buckley retired; he would come on to the ground and create opportunity and direct players.
At the moment they are under the Captain of Maxwell but I personally feel a capital must be the one creating all the scores and leading the group. A backman doesn’t have the same effect, it’s like we will look for defence than just get the ball down to me in the forward line like, Barry Hall, Jonathan Brown etc..

The amount of times player just kicked a high ball into the forward line with no result was just stupidity. And how Mathouse didn’t say anything about it was just as stupid. We have no players that can mark in a pack and you know even 70% or even 60% they will catch the ball. We just have the very players to have that strength.

I honestly can’t see Collingwood win a premership until they find someone that can take that responsibility. At the moment they are basically an underdog always fighting to beat the big boys.

Malthouse needs to go, and players like Rocca who once in a blue moon makes a difference. Yes we do have a good up coming young team but I feel there is no strong leadership.

They need to trade or look for that person that can take that stand, I hope it's with-in the team but no-one has stood up to show it, I guess it doesn’t happen over night but may he be out there wanting to come to Collingwood.
