    The days of getting line ball AA selections for freo on the interchange bench might just be over 😩

    Training 2026 Preseason

    Looking at games played for the likes of Darcy is a bit misleading too. On the face of it he played a decent number of games last year. But he was a pale shadow of himself until maybe the last 6 weeks or so. He’s a player who needs 4 or 5 games in a row to get anywhere near resembling his best -...

    Harsh on Bolton and McVee hasn’t played yet. Clark the clear standout trade, the one true indisputable A+ effort. I might be wrong but he’s in a very small and select group of freo players that were traded into the club and won an all Australian for freo. McPharlin and Peter bell the only...

    Training 2026 Preseason

    The Sean Darcy injury is disappointing but all too predictable. Hardly a bold statement to predict that players like Darcy will get regular injuries nowadays, Stevie wonder could see this one coming at this stage. We are stuck with him for the next couple of years regardless now and we just have...

    If anything he’s going to be more critical of Port than the crows this year given they just sacked his brother and his hero Kenny. Just watch Kane absolutely castigate the Power in 2026 now after years of defending them

    Apparently did it in a wrestling drill. Kane Cornes having a crack at the S&C guys that come up with these drills and I think he’s right. Hard to understand how it’s meant to improve someone at footy

    Always interesting to look at bookies odds preseason it adds a level of impartiality to things at this time of year. They have us joint 8th in the betting with the pies, basically non-contenders at this point. Personally I think we are slightly underestimated but not by much here. Probably have...

    Prediction Is now the time for the next captain?

    You are being disingenuous there a bit I feel. Pearce can start slow, sure but I’ve seen equally as many slow starts from Brayshaw and Serong too. They have disappeared early in games on many occasions in recent years. Big important games too that have cost us dearly. The very last match we...

    Some prominent freo fans wanted to recruit this guy. Can you imagine the circus right now if we did? Ugh

    Unfortunately this is exactly what will happen. Anyone that thinks a club of Collingwoods size are going to wallow at the foot of the ladder for several years hasn’t been paying much attention to recent trends in player movement and free agency. It’s not implausible that they will have a...

    I’d agree with this. One of the big issues we had last year was that our ball use out of the back half was noticeably poorer than the best sides. The likes of Zorko is almost like a quarterback for Brisbane across halfback and supported by Wilmot and co. As Adam Simpson said a few times last...

    I like McVee and he’s a decent addition but one player isn’t going to solve a depth problem. One injury and we are back in the same place as last year? The truth is we are relying on some unknowns/unprovens like the new draftees or the likes of Simpson to improve, stay fit and push out some...

    I keep hearing about all this “depth” we have for a number of years now yet (A) we clearly had the worst bottom 6 players of all eight finalists last year. (B) the likes of Banfield and Worner are playing nearly every game for us - neither would get near a game for last years grand finalists...

    That’s not how footy works at AFL level. In that scenario, we would put Young or someone at HBF and play Neale on ball. Could put Brayshaw rotating on a wing and drop the likes of NOD. Lots of options and combinations. Plenty of examples of top end mids moving to half back or half forward...
