I'm the least superstitious person I know - it just feels so dumb to me. But I have a confession. I like donuts. I love a donut, in fact. And this year, I bought donuts when we lost to Brisbane at the Gabba in round 3 or 4. I bought them before the game and thought, they'll be a nice little bit...

Is there anywhere to meet pre/post game? I'll be alone so I've got no one down in Melbourne to meet up with but I can't waste the opportunity. Is there any classic Collingwood places/events that I can check out?

I'm category 2 as an interstate member and entered the ballot successfully. Last night $155 was taken from my account by Ticketek. But no email, no other correspondence. Does this mean I'll receive a ticket? I've never been in this situation before.

A massive FU to Hodge and all the Collingwood hating nuffies out there complaining about the umpiring, specifically the non free for Daics taking Toby Greene high. Selwood gets away with it for 15 years, Ginnivan comes in and within 10 weeks of footy it has to be stamped out. But now that Ginny...

You would think when it's in the GWS forward pocket and Toby Greene has the footy that Darcy would put himself in a spot to spoil or intercept. You know, within 15m of an opponent. But no, I'll guard the space in front of the behind post.

Darcy Moore standing all by himself, nowhere near a tall forward. Good grief this guy is scared of playing man on man.

I have diagnosed Melbourne. They're a team full of blokes who think they're the man, trying to have their hero moment. And they'll trip over playing smart football in an effort to be the hero. Gawn trying to take the mark on the goal line and spoiling the goal typifies this. But on tonight...

Melbourne have made a villain out of us over the last couple of days. I'm not sure if they have it in them, but I reckon they'll try to use it as motivation, in a similar vein to how we were spurred on by "all duck no dinner" last year - there are practically no similarities but they'll try. I...

I spent all day listening to SEN and various other footy media. To say the footy world broadly wants Maynard suspended is an understatement. Only Korn of all people thinks he should get off. Insane. I would have thought no case to answer. But seems now the decision will be three weeks at the...

Awesome. Looks like another classic Collingwood switch off.

Didn't realise Daicos was even out there.

I've been banging on about this for months now but Darcy Moore cannot kick out from a behind. It's the same every time. Please stop!

We need to fix our centre clearances real effing quick. Our other main issue is that we can't leave our backline after a behind to save ourselves. The only one who could manage it was Nick. But conversely we let every other God damn team walk it out with ease.

I think we absolutely HAVE to play Bobby as a high half forward. He is MAGIC when he gets involved in the fat part of the ground.

I'm not so much concerned with selection, I mean I would like to see Frampton come in to free Darcy up, because he's been putrid playing one on one. But something has to be done about our centre clearance work first and foremost. We work so hard trying to win the ball back to kick a goal, but...

So weird. Two weeks ago it was, "how do we fit all the talls in?" Now I'm thinking who do we bring in for Mihocek, Moore and Howe? And why, when we desperately need a hard ball do we sub off Mitchell and leave Lipinski on? I know, I know, speed. But little good that is when we're so effing...

Still patiently waiting for Darcy Moore to switch on. Maybe next week.

Any danger of winning a centre clearance? This young midfield is way harder at it than us.

Gee we can be so poor when we don't want to get out hands dirty. And then when we decide it's necessary, we can look so damn good.

Bruise free footy

The Royal Sampler Good call the other day, your idea of the possibility of Melbourne moving up to 3rd has risen a helluva lot this weekend. It might now be the most likely scenario that they finish second. A week is a long time in football. Outside of Collingwood games and in the interest of...

Umps are up to their "free kick Brisbane" tricks again. Absurd how touched this team is with the Umps.

Careful what you wish for. Port lose tonight almost guarantees the Lions a home final. For me, I want Port to take 2nd spot and the Lions to have to go the long way to the granny.

Good: Jeremy Howe winding back the clock up forward. We can finally drop Cox. Bad: goal kicking Ugly (a list): - the form of these players: Mihocek, De Goey, Moore, Mitchell, Lipinski, Cox and tonight even Quaynor - kicking out from a behind. I mentioned this a few weeks ago and got a...

I don't wanna jump at shadows but games like this expose the issues. And we've got some real ones. Mihocek is horribly out of form, Darcy Moore's kicking is miles off (and kicking out from a behind, please Darcy, pick a short target for once). Lipinski too soft, Mitchell too slow, Cox yet to...

Interesting. I suppose I didn't consider the chance of Bris 2nd, Melbourne 3rd and Port 4th. Definitely a chance if they lose the showdown. Dixon looked cooked by the way, he may miss.

Generally I agree. I'm not so concerned about coming up against Melbourne week one. They're a hell of a team with good finals experience, so it's no walk in the park. But I think we can match them. And I think Kings Birthday was a line in the sand game for them. Can they replicate that effort...

Do you think Melbourne are a chance at finishing third? I think it's all but guaranteed now that we play Melbourne week 1.

After last night, I have Port's (and the Lions) final ladder position entirely based on our game against the Lions at Marvel later in the season. I don't think the Lions getting home finals is an ideal scenario. If we win that game, we send them to Adelaide to play against Port in week one. A...

Lipinski would be 10 times the player if he had an ounce of hardness to him.
