AFL Live: Collingwood Nathan Buckley on the Pies win and the criticism of ruckman Brodie Grundy AFLBluesPies
“Yes, it was a legitimate sort of one by one marquee match-up. I thought Darcy was exceptional for the majority of the night. I think McKay kicked 4 in the end.
“We have kicked 100 points. That largely has come off the back of - and I know everyone will focus on personnel in front of the ball, they will focus on ball use potentially, offensive efficiency, yes. But largely, if you compete and defend well, you are going to be able to get the ball back in some pretty damaging positions, especially in the first half we were able that and we scored quite heavily as a result.”“We were a lot better.
“And we defended a lot better today and that had us turning the ball over in the front half, 14 times in the first half, which gives us - it means that you can keep the ball in your front half. You actually have more chance of scoring when the ball is in your front half than when it is in your back half, believe it or not. So we were able to do that better.”On Brodie Grundy copping criticism last week:“Brodes is Brodes. That’s what we expect of him. He follows up really well.
