    Unofficial Preview Pies V Swans (SCG, 7.25 Saturday, SELECTED TEAM IN OP)

    Sorry but to say Brown and Reid won't be around much longer is absurd. If we can get Reid robust again it will make a huge difference to our team. His kicking skills have not dropped one iota. Brown had a great season on the last line in 2015. Those two will be the mainstays for years to come...

    Club Membership Tally 2016!

    This thread is about membership. Not sure what balance sheets have got to do with it unless you wanted to avoid the specifics of membership loyalty and membership buy in. It would easy for us to play 4 games at any one interstate venue and add 17,000 more members to our total. We could do this...

    Club Membership Tally 2016!

    Lets put any membership numbers into perspective. Our membership revenue is almost double that of Hawthorn and Richmond. Why is that? $8mil vs $16mil. There lies the main reason we are such a powerful club. The members provide the power.

    VFL Practice Match #1 - Collingwood vs Werribee at Olympic Park Oval (Pies WON 67-57, Treloar survived!)

    At the intra club I almost gave up watching the game as the elevated areas are way too low to watch the game properly. The only place you get a feel for the whole game was on the balcony. If you take a look at the current NAB game on Foxtel at Craigieburn it is the same problem. The wing camera...

    Game Day NAB Challenge - Collingwood vs North Melbourne (4.40pm - Robertson Oval)

    That quarter we were out worked. Beaten in centre clearances easily, beaten at stoppages, missed tackles, sloppy fwd fifty entry. Same as second quarter last week. Defence looks shaky. Langers looked very rusty, Maynard in the play with plenty of touches but playing like a newbie ( he is) and...

    Best Youth in the league - best teams in 3-5 years

    Yep. Only had to scroll down a little to see a Richmond supporter as usual dismissing Collingwood's talent. Sheesh it is so predictable. Why do so many Tiger supporters on BF speak in the Dynasty or Superiority tone? Where does this come from? There really is some angst from them about...

    Collingwood 2016 Pre-Season Discussion

    Request to all supporters from the Club: we ask that supporters refrain from asking questions about Marley Williams. We can confirm that the Club has been planning it's media releases around the assumption that everyone would have forgotten about him. Asking questions as to his whereabouts is...

    Collingwood 2016 Pre-Season Discussion

    I have it on good authority that nothing on the scan of his leg showed up . However they did find another two legs growing inside his body that have perfect calf muscle structure with no scarring. So that is where the concern was.

    Malthouse might 'coach' suspended dopers.

    Hird is no longer coaching. So it has to be him. He loves his players so much. Ryder and Monfries could set up sleeping bags in his Toorak rumpus room this winter. Malthouse cannot do it. He said he would never coach against his boys.

    News Dons ASADA scandal (Latest: Pg 101 - CAS verdict. Guilty, 12 months.)

    Courts in Australia have already tested the strength of sports courts to apply rules and arbitrate awards. Precedence shows that state courts consider all the suites of documents, agreements and rules that the parties sign up to (AFL, Clubs + players) are enough to constitute contracts. The AFL...

    News Dons ASADA scandal (Latest: Pg 101 - CAS verdict. Guilty, 12 months.)

    A goal is worth six points to us when we kick one. It is worth the same to the other team. This is not law. It is though the rules of a game we love and it is part of the fairness of competing equally. It is only by agreement and in the language of the rules. It is not real as you say. What do...

    Peter Gordon explores Swiss appeal and injunction on suspension

    Oh Balmey, better to say nothing if you know nothing about CAS.

    Goddard?

    Even disaster movies and farcical comedies have stars. As for the poll it is like asking if Gina Rinehart is cute and a bit of a sweetie.
