    Training Training updates 2026.

    Yes. We're not exactly overflowing with X-factor, so its a big problem when those who do have a bit of it, like McCreery, Josh, Houston and Schultz don't play to their abilities, especially on top of the absences of Hill and Elliott. At least DeGoey has really gotten back to his best over...

    Training Training updates 2026.

    Yep, with the tragic injury to Elliott, there's not much sizzle or X-factor in the current side. We get it from Nick, DeGoey and glimpses from McCreery but that's about it. We desperately need Josh and Dan Houston playing with more boldness. And Schultz needs to actually convert the...

    Has Craig Kelly done a good job? Genuine question. I really can’t tell. Have there been any notable achievements during his tenure? Or any big stuff-ups?

    Unofficial Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion: Round 13 vs. Melbourne, Mon 08/06 at 3:15pm (MCG)

    About three times. A bit like a tennis match…. Deuce. Advantage. Back to Deuce. Advantage again. Back to Deuce once more. Etc, etc.

    Game Day Match Discussion: Round 12 vs. Bulldogs, Sat 30/05 at 7:35pm (Marvel)

    Yes, the side we're having to field this week will seemingly struggle to kick more than 10-12 goals. Perhaps 2 each to McStay, Membrey and DeGoey and then another 4-6 collectively from the likes of Schultz, Nick, McCreery & Harrison seems about where we'll max-out. So its going take a hell...

    Yep, as a forward, Long is like an extra opposition defender. He spoils more Pies’ F50 marks than any other player on the ground!

    2026 Trade / FA Thread

    Yes please!!! I hope we're chasing Gruzewski AND Jed Walter! Both somewhat starved of opportunity and better than anything else we've got up forward. Much better chance of landing one/both of them than pipe-dreams such as King, Butters or Humphrey.

    At this stage of the season, the priority for Fly is winning, not player development. He'll pick whichever line-ups he believes will give the best chance of winning until it becomes clear that we can't play Finals, at which time I expect his focus will shift to player development for 2027.

    Player Watch Welcome to Collingwood Liam Puncher

    Strange, from the highlights package, he seems more of a marker than a puncher.

    Mid Season Draft

    We have list needs all over the park. Can't fill them all in one MSD! Personally, I'm really happy that we've got three (near) ready-to-play talls. Our development of young talls in the VFL over recent years has been very slow and unproductive, other than the recent highlight of Oscar...

    Player Watch Bobby “Norm” Hill

    The Bobby Hill situation is giving off Ben Simmons vibes. Sublimely talented, on big money but not exactly leaving no stone unturned in his efforts to get back to the top tier of his chosen professional sport. An unfulfilled talent and big loss for us if it plays out along a similar path.

    Mid Season Draft

    Huh? How on earth did you deduce that from what I said? I was referring to players in our VFL side, who have been on the books for a while and may have been expecting to inherit senior team spots in 2027 or 2028 on the back of a string of retirements. Guys like Ryan, Jaith, DiMattia, Smit and...

    Mid Season Draft

    These selections should put some heat on some of our youngsters who are just cruising along the VFL and not showing enough hunger and urgency. Fight your way in, or be leap-frogged!

    Mid Season Draft

    Seem like the best "recruiting for need" picks we could have hoped for. And with so few young talents banging the door down in our VFL side, it makes complete sense to take mature-agers who are ready to go. I'd love one of them debut on Kings Birthday.

    Mid Season Draft

    Being of good character alone makes up for lack of size, pace and talent. Every recruiter worth his salt knows that.
