Specify a down payment limit.Last season, in the 13 opportunities the Magpies led at three-quarter-time, they went on to secure victory. This year, nevertheless, Collingwood has gone 8-4 in games where it held the advantage at the final improvement. "They closed the books video games (in 2013). This year ... they haven't pretty been able to acquire it performed," Street Kilda terrific Leigh Montagna told Fox Footy's First Split on Sunday evening. The 287-gamer positioned his theory for why that might be. "Our experts honored Collingwood in 2013 for its ability to shut video games down-- obtain loyal halts, maintain it in strict, set up exactly how they intend to set up," he carried on, presenting instances coming from the Pies' final-quarter collapse. "( Patrick) Lipinski in 2013 takes that ball, takes the tackle, (they) reset, get yet another blockage, as well as they can easily get the video game on their conditions, and also they can only take a while off the time clock. "( However) the ball sprays out and it resulted in the initial goal (for Sydney in the last quarter). "Then only pair of mins later on, Steele Sidebottom-- he knows what he wishes to perform he wants to take the handle, visit ground, receive a ball-up-- yet possibly as a result of the brand new holding-the-ball regulations, everybody's receiving aware. "Suddenly, as opposed to keeping it in it sprays out, Chad Detector pounces on it-- bang, an additional target." Also 401-gamer Scott Pendlebury believed the stress late in the competition. "Once again, three minutes eventually, Pendlebury in the defensive 50-- usually he 'd only take the address, he 'd lose his hips, obtain one more standstill-- he stresses a little bit, permits it spill out, which was actually the (second-last) target," Montagna explained. "I only thought Collingwood simply shed a bit of their capability (to close out close activities) ... all those little bit of things amounted to them divulging a 27-point lead." Twin premiership gamer David Master posed the theory to Montagna that maybe the AFL had caught onto Collingwood's late-game tactics, and that perhaps the umpires were especially watching out for the Pies' hallmark save-the-game way of thinking-- and the past Saint got on panel. "Maybe, yeah-- it is actually a really good conspiracy idea," he mentioned. "Maybe they (the AFL and its umpires) are actually onto it-- overdue in activities, we understand that Collingwood tries and also perform these traits, (maybe they're mentioning) 'permit's understand it'. "I think that is actually fair, given that they've done it for a number of years currently." Collingwood will certainly be actually particularly filthy about its collapse after finding fellow finals hopefuls Essendon, Carlton as well as the Western side Bulldogs locate Sunday as well as Sunday. The Magpies remain in 11th setting on the ladder as well as need to have a wonder to apply for the finals from here-- closing competitions along with Brisbane as well as Melbourne await.
