    Prediction Finishing on top...Poison Chalice or Stairway to Heaven?

    I think what we're seeing here is that it's pretty close to 1/4 of teams winning the flag from first in the era of the current finals system. This suggests to me that everyone in the top 4 has a pretty equal chance of a flag

    Sam Mitchell

    Essendon's rise since sacking Neeld as well. Whether coincidental or not.

    List Mgmt. Trade & F/A - 2017/2018 - Refreshed (cont in part 2)

    I still believe that our salary cap position is MUCH better than most media pundits think and the club is doing everything they can to let them think as much. It's also in our interest to keep the narrative as "Pies salary cap is full". It means we can convince players like De Goey to sign for...

    Roast Umpires are on the take

    The worst one of the day was when the first goal of the game was scored by Geelong following a missed call on a high fend off when Mayne was shoved in the face whilst trying to land a tackle, only for Treloar to be pinged for a high fend off in the centre square for brushing a Cat's player's...

    2018 Membership Pack Delivery

    Anyone out there actually got their membership pack delivered yet? I'm waiting on 3 for my household (1 rolled over, 2 new memberships) and yet to see any of them. Anyone who has got them - any comments on the quality of what we received this year compared to previous years?

    Rumour Fas was rumoured to be heading back to WA

    Whilst it looks like recruiting Mayne hasn't panned out at all, I feel like supporters on this board and elsewhere give it far more time than it's worth. When you break it down, he's 2.3% of our playing list being paid 3.6% of our TPP. It's not that huge of a deal. Sources for those numbers...

    Toast ALL AUSTRALIAN SQUAD - Treloar and Howe

    I'm just waiting for Howe's QB mark to be put up against his R23 mark, discount the quality of the mark because he takes a hanger every other week and for Daniher to win MotY while everyone is caught up debating which Howe mark was the better of the two.

    Certified Legendary Thread Q: Why did Freeman Leave St Kilda? (A: He was delisted)

    Unfortunately we'll never know. You can't divide by zero.

    News Goodbye Star, hello ISC - 2017 kits

    Good find!

    Delisted free agents

    Surely our list management team have a crack at Litherland. Limited opportunity at Hawthorn but I thought he played pretty well when given his chances.

    Analysis 2017 Collingwood fixture

    Only 5 night games next year? Slow clap to the AFL. Milk the high earning clubs for all they're worth through an equalisation tax and then lower their earning potential with next to no primetime games. I understand rewarding high performing clubs with good timeslots, but to heavily tax the...

    Player Watch Tim Broomhead - (Delisted 2020)

    As a lurker who seldom actually posts. I can't believe I had to log in to fix this. How can a Broomhead thread go 3 pages deep without this being posted??

    Player Watch 32 Travis Cloke

    If that's all they're going to offer, I'd keep him for next year and then pick up a compensation pick of something similar if he leaves as a free agent. He'll net 400-500k minimum on the free agent market if there's 2 or more clubs vying for his services and the compensation from that would be...

    Worst afl player you've seen (and why)

    If this guy had played 3 more games you could close the thread right now. Still to this day the only player I've actively demanded never play another game. I'm the most lenient bloke when it comes to giving players time to develop but this guy...

    Collingwood Supporters the Pies worst enemy.

    Okay, I see this written all over the place but it's time people stop being so disingenuous with the whole '6 years' thing. Let's be real, it's been far less than that. It's been: 4 years, 7 months, 8 days since Malthouse left the club after the Grand Final loss and Buckley became head coach...
