Cam Hooke’s Collingwood Life – Round 14 Review

True Believers – one for the ‘Pool Room’. I enjoyed that.  Not much more needs to be said.

I thought the match was typified by a couple of specific events and a general one:

 

1. Specific – Treloar’s poor foot pass (intercepted by an opponent) rectified by his chase, tackle and free to regain control of the ball – http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/video/2016-06-25/treloars-tackle-makes-amends– really well done;
2. Specific – Trav’s opening goal and his goal from the almost impossible position on the boundary (as usual).  Notable at his opening goal were the congratulations from his team-mates (se next comment below) – www.afl.com.au/‘Watch the 10’ – Numbers 8 – Cox and 4 – Cloke; and
3. General – The commitment and team spirit throughout by everyone.  Well done.
