Jack ChadwickFresh Collingwood cartoon ripe for the picking!
My Round 9 cartoon for the mighty Collingwood Football Club is now up on the club website in a cozy cartoon corner, on the Collingwood facebook page and also here on my own little slice of internet (click on the link to ‘Collingwood Cartoons’ to see all my Pie-themed cartoons and their accompanying commentary – penned by yours truly)
Here is this week’s offering:
Round 9 (Coll 75 – Adel 49):
Another week, another win for the mighty Pies. Collingwood jetted off to face the resurgent Crows on Saturday night for what was billed as a stern test for both teams.
It was tough in the clinches throughout and clear air was nearly impossible to find. Pendlebury was all class but he had ample support from the likes of Daisy Thomas, Steele Sidebottom and Dayne Beams. One would surely have been forgiven for mistaking Beams for Dane Swan, what with his preponderance of tattoos and his possession gathering panache.
Collingwood’s 2012 campaign has been dogged by injuries but Beams is showing he’s more than capable of rising to the challenge and providing an ample serve of midfield grunt. I’m sure Bucks is proud as punch.
If coaches, analysts and players are to be believed, it seems ‘structures’ are now more important that ever in the AFL. They’re always to blame when things go awry and players are praised for sticking diligently to them when a win is notched. The Collingwood coaching crew must be thanking their lucky stars that with knee injuries ending seasons left right and centre, players like Beams are standing resolute to prop up our six game winning streak.
