Bulldust. 30 seconds before that happened Tom Greene got caught htb. Also why didn't the senior player in Josh Kelly take responsibility. He handballed it to Ash who had to kick under pressureperfectionist wrote: ↑Sat 23 Sep 2023 1:38pm He played well. His pace in foot races to get to contests was especially noteworthy. But he wasn't the player who cost GWS the game. That was Lachie Ash (no.7). Last week, I can remember thinking that you can't have someone like him on the backline - he gives the ball away with poor disposal or poor decision making. And so it happened. In the third quarter, with GWS three goals in front, after the first of the quarter, they had Collingwood on the mat. Then, on a forward move with numbers out of the backline, Ash kicked it straight to Collingwood. They goaled and got four more for the quarter.
Ash killed us. Got 30 against St Kilda and cut us up with his kicking. You're isolating a few incidents from a young player. Even the champions of the game make errors.
After GWS kicked a goal in the 3rd quarter through Toby Greene's brilliance, there was no score for 8 minutes. Collingwood were building pressure with repeat inside 50's. You can't say it was Ash's miskick that cost them the game. Ridiculous!
GWS actually stopped their momentum with a goal of their own and got back to a 2 goal lead before Collingwood continued their run and gun. Collingwood were only 4 points up at 3 quarter time
You have to remember that Collingwood were fresh and GWS had a 6 day break with 3 road trips in a row. Every time Collingwood kicked a goal or did anything slightly good the bloody noise level was incredible!!
You know the game was decided in the final few minutes and could have gone either way don't you?
Anyhow, Ash has been good. He's only 22 years of age. He's only going to get better from here.
