"They got their hands to the ball first, which allowed them to get the ball inside 50. With the new 5-6-5 rules, you can get one-on-ones if the ball comes forward quickly." – Collingwood coach Wayne Siekman |

AFL News Collingwood coach Wayne Siekman will be feeling the heat after a third straight 0-3 start, and questions will begin to be asked if he can't engineer a turnaround similar to last year, when the Magpies won three games in the final month of the season. The visitors sorely missed star vice-captain Emma Grant (shoulder) on Saturday but it is their system, rather than talent, that needs to be addressed. There was a glaring inability to string together chains of possession and threaten the Dockers on their home turf. The Age The Magpies, the lowest scoring team of the competition after two rounds, again struggled to find potency in attack and only kicked their first goal of the match midway through the third quarter. Sarah D'Arcy and Ash Brazill, a former West Coast Fever netballer, tried hard for the hapless visitors who had kicked just six goals this season. ... The Magpies played with more purpose in the second half and finally ended their goal drought when D'Arcy converted after receiving a 50-metre penalty, but they never seriously threatened despite outscoring the Dockers in the final term. The Roar Again, the Collingwood ladies failed to put a major on the scoreboard in the first half, and with the deficit at 31 at the main break, things looked ominous for the Pies heading into the third quarter. Sarah D’Arcy put the Pies on the board thanks to two 50-metre penalties, but the celebration was short-lived as the Dockers hit back through Kellie Gibson. The final quarter was Collingwood’s best for the match, however, lacked some class in the forward 50 to convert entries into goals on the scoreboard. Fox Sports Collingwood’s disappointing form to date in the first two and half seasons of the AFLW competition continued in Western Australia. After losing to Geelong by a point in Round 1 and Melbourne by three goals last weekend, the Magpies are coming from a long way back now, staring down the barrel of another poor season. |
