    Opinion The forgotten Lynchpin

    Not good enough to be a second key forward in a two talls forward line - first half of last year proved that Maybe good enough to be the third tall / back up ruck, IF the injury commentary is accurate. White's history suggests he is no certainty to perform consistently either. I think it's...

    Thoughts on Patrick Karnezis? Your Expectations?

    Whilst uncertain whether he will make it, just the thought of him as our 4th tall, joined with Fasolo and Elliot is exciting. All of the 'smalls' can take a grab, and would create a fair bit of worry for opposition teams also worrying about Cloke, Reid and White /Lynch. Tough match ups! Let's...

    So can we learn anything from Darren Lehmann?

    I think Boof provides great insight in to how to "free up" players but cricket is largely an individual sport, so more micro management ( or planning) needs to be done in football for gameplans to be brought to life. The balance is critical, but every playing group reacts differently, and as...

    Review Off Season Review: Our Past 10 Drafts

    Agree. I thought I saw more effort to receive handballs and get involved. Didn't nail it completely but we definitely needed more players sharing the load to move the ball out of defence. Watching this year with interest to see if he can build on it

    Toast Collingwood worth $150 million

    Maybe. Thought I read somewhere we had the next two years of development of the Westpac Centre to cover. Maybe the work hasn't taken place yet ( sorry - based in Sydney so don't get to go past too often) and its simply the commitment to fund future work rather than debt or maybe I've completely...

    Toast Collingwood worth $150 million

    We still have a pretty big debt on the facilities just built. Should be about 2-3 years away from covering that and then you would be right to ask for a freeze. What will be interesting is if we get to the point where we can't fit all members in to games due to too many members. Not sure how...

    Team of the Millennium

    I would have to have Beams in for either one of the three defenders on the bench or Medhurst. Maybe Maxwell given Clement provides that back line leadership?

    AFL.COM.AU picks our best 22 in Rd 1

    Agree BBB. Freeman and Scharenberg both look like units that are ready for the big game physcially (so does Marsh without the games sense just yet)

    Best 22 for 2014

    That reserves team has one hell of a fast half forward line!!

    Taylor Adams vs Josh Caddy

    Very funny. It appears everybody is right, but they are all arguing different arguments...I feel like I'm watching BlackAdder. Just to help me out Adam H - what "role in midfield' was the Cannon playing? it might help me understand the discussion more given JaegerBomb had him playing deep in...

    The White impact

    I thought we look tons better in the second half of last year with a three-tall forward line - particularly when they knew what they were doing (apologies Keefe in the Elimination final - who was totally lost). For mine, White versus Lynch for the resting ruck is the only debate, and and the...

    Strategy Another "Ben Reid should stay forward" argument

    Except when you don't get an injury, and then you wish you had an explosive speedster to run the opposition off their feet.

    Opinion Who will have a breakout year next season?

    So many options, it's exciting as to how many could break out, including two high draft picks. I'll go with Keefe and Marley meaning less issues in defence.

    News Buckley at the wheel - Jake Niall

    It's interesting this year. First time in years we will have a softer draw given more games against the middle 6 teams from this year. Champion data has had us with the 1st or 2nd hardest draw for the last 3 years (from memory). That alone got Adelaide to top 4 in 2012, and helped Sydney to a...

    News Buckley at the wheel - Jake Niall

    I think the article misrepresents the Daisy position, as if the Pies / Bucks entirely drove the outcome. As you mentioned, trading stars hasn't happened regularly in the recent past, but free agency is new and therefore the new history is being rewritten. It may be we didn't chase Daisy...
