Has the AFL saw onto the Magpies' save-the-game way of thinking and also coached its peacemakers to be looking for players finding replay deductions? Court for yourself. It happens following Collingwood's fourth-quarter capitulation against Sydney last Friday night-- Craig McRae's guys surrendered a game-high 27-point lead early in the ultimate condition to drop through three points at the SCG, and also undo their finals chances.

Establish a down payment limit.Last period, in the thirteen times the Magpies led at three-quarter-time, they went on to get success. This year, having said that, Collingwood has gone 8-4 in activities where it held the conveniences at the last adjustment. "They terminated the account games (in 2013). This year ... they have not rather had the ability to obtain it done," Street Kilda excellent Leigh Montagna told Fox Footy's First Split on Sunday night. The 287-gamer presented his theory for why that might be. "Our company honored Collingwood in 2014 for its capacity to close activities down-- get loyal halts, maintain it in tight, established just how they intend to put together," he carried on, mentioning examples coming from the Cakes' final-quarter failure. "( Patrick) Lipinski last year takes that reception, takes the take on, (they) reset, get an additional halt, as well as they can get the video game on their phrases, as well as they can easily just take a while off the clock. "( Yet) the reception squirts out as well as it triggered the first objective (for Sydney in the last fourth). "After that only two moments later on, Steele Sidebottom-- he knows what he intends to do he wants to take the take on, most likely to ground, obtain a ball-up-- but maybe as a result of the new holding-the-ball rules, everybody's acquiring conscious. "Suddenly, as opposed to keeping it in it sprays out, Chad Warner pounces on it-- bang, another goal." Even 401-gamer Scott Pendlebury experienced the pressure late in the contest. "Once more, 3 minutes later, Pendlebury in the defensive 50-- commonly he 'd simply take the deal with, he would certainly lose his hips, get another stoppage-- he panics a little, allows it splash out, which was actually the (second-last) objective," Montagna described. "I just thought Collingwood only shed a bit of their potential (to liquidate close video games) ... all those little bit of things amounted to them paying a 27-point top." Double premiership gamer David King positioned the theory to Montagna that perhaps the AFL had actually caught onto Collingwood's late-game techniques, and that possibly the moderators were actually especially keeping an eye out for the Pies' trademark save-the-game attitude-- and also the past St. performed board. "Perhaps, yeah-- it's a good conspiracy idea," he stated. "Maybe they (the AFL and its moderators) are onto it-- late in activities, we know that Collingwood tries and also do these things, (perhaps they are actually stating) 'allow's know it'. "I presume that is actually reasonable, due to the fact that they've performed it for a number of years right now." Collingwood will definitely be particularly dirty regarding its own crash after seeing fellow finals hopefuls Essendon, Carlton and also the Western side Bulldogs stumble on Sunday and also Sunday. The Magpies stay in 11th position on the ladder and need to have a magic to apply for the finals hence-- closing competitions with Brisbane as well as Melbourne wait for.
