Prepare a deposit limit.Last period, in the 13 opportunities the Magpies led at three-quarter-time, they went on to protect success. This year, nevertheless, Collingwood has gone 8-4 in games where it stored the advantage at the final change. "They terminated the account activities (in 2013). This year ... they have not rather been able to obtain it performed," St Kilda terrific Leigh Montagna said to Fox Footy's First Split on Sunday night. The 287-gamer postured his theory for why that may be. "Our team lauded Collingwood in 2015 for its own capability to shut video games down-- get replay deductions, maintain it in limited, put together how they want to set up," he proceeded, mentioning instances from the Pies' final-quarter failure. "( Patrick) Lipinski in 2013 takes that reception, takes the handle, (they) reset, obtain yet another deduction, as well as they can receive the video game on their conditions, as well as they can easily simply take some time off the clock. "( However) the reception sprays out as well as it led to the very first goal (for Sydney in the final fourth). "Then just 2 moments later on, Steele Sidebottom-- he understands what he desires to do he would like to take the handle, most likely to ground, acquire a ball-up-- however perhaps as a result of the new holding-the-ball policies, everybody's getting mindful. "All of a sudden, rather than keeping it in it sprays out, Chad Warner catches it-- value, yet another goal." Even 401-gamer Scott Pendlebury felt the pressure late in the competition. "Once again, three moments later, Pendlebury in the defensive 50-- commonly he 'd simply take the deal with, he will drop his hips, acquire another discontinuance-- he panics a little bit, permits it splash out, and also was the (second-last) goal," Montagna discussed. "I merely believed Collingwood merely dropped a little bit of their capacity (to close out close video games) ... all those little bit of things amounted to all of them coughing up a 27-point lead." Dual premiership gamer David King positioned the idea to Montagna that maybe the AFL had actually captured onto Collingwood's late-game methods, and also maybe the moderators were actually primarily looking out for the Pies' trademark save-the-game frame of mind-- and also the past St. got on board. "Perhaps, yeah-- it is actually a good conspiracy idea," he claimed. "Perhaps they (the AFL and also its own umpires) are actually onto it-- overdue in video games, we understand that Collingwood makes an effort and do these points, (maybe they are actually stating) 'allow's know it'. "I assume that's fair, because they've performed it for a couple of years currently." Collingwood will be actually particularly dirty concerning its collapse after viewing fellow finals hopefuls Essendon, Carlton and the Western side Bulldogs locate Sunday and also Sunday. The Magpies continue to be in 11th posture on the step ladder and need a magic to obtain the finals away-- closing competitions with Brisbane as well as Melbourne wait for.
