    List Mgmt. Too late to rethink on Witts?

    My calls on Witts were pretty bad in hindsight, I still maintain he's more than good enough for AFL. Unfortunately I just don't see him and Grundy co-existing in this team. Real shame, I like him a lot but the decision will be up to him. And if he decides to go to further his own development and...

    Cloke watch: The glove is back

    Analysis Do you have faith in Bucks moving foward?

    I've lost faith. Not because of our losses, but how we lose. We consistently get our structures cut apart, we consistently put ourselves on the back foot with selection, we consistently get poor reward for effort. I get injuries and all, but it's more than that. Trying to play a short kicking...

    Roast Poorly skilled backline

    I see the problem as twofold. First, we seem to really struggle with our transition from the back half to the forward half. In previous years, we'd just hoof it wide to the wing and aim to win the clearance from the throw in. But Bucks seems intent on running it through the middle Geelong...

    Is Maxwell talking about GWS or Collingwood?

    What Pert is talking about would affect every single club. Young men + money + fame + restrictions on drink, and you get the idea. However, since he's the Collingwood CEO, then his frame of reference for what he says would be what he sees going on at our club. As for what team Maxwell is...

    Strategy Kick it to Cloke

    If Gault and Moore do their roles up forward, I don't see why this can't be plan A for all games. He'd be the best "long bomb emergency" option in the league. N. Riewoldt does an amazing amount of good roaming up the field now that they have Josh Bruce to hold down a CHF spot. Cloke needs to do...

    Fascism, Despotism and the Rise of Trump

    From what I can tell, Trump uniquely taps into psyche of working and lower middle class Americans who feel abandoned by the right, who would rather court multinational corporations; and the liberal upper class left, who have descended into the madness that is narcissistic PC virtue signalling...

    Prediction Ben Kennedy v J.Howe

    Shit draft meaning 2015, where it was known not to have very good depth beyond the first round. So going after the established players is a better play. Which is what Hine did, went after Howe, Aish and Treloar. I can't predict the future on whether it was the right decision but I'm very happy...

    Prediction Ben Kennedy v J.Howe

    I want to know what the hell happened to Kennedy's kicking. He's a veritable ball butcher now, but pre-draft it was universally accepted that he had a very sharp 50-55m boot. May not have had Mitchell level control over his kicking but he had neat disposal and some decent toe. Probably the same...

    Review Collingwood 8 pt win over Geelong.

    The first half of 2015 was also like this (I50s to scoring ratio) before we reverted to old habits. It seems like the intent is there but we've yet to be consistent with the application.

    Review Collingwood 8 pt win over Geelong.

    One thing to consider with all these fanciful ideas of sending Cloke back is that the season is a marathon not a sprint. After 2014-2015, you'd think we wouldn't want to keep an eye on the business end of the season. So sending our only hardened, durable key forward to CHF to fulfill some...

    List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade Talk 2016

    I'm hoping a Ramsay/Williams double team becomes a fixture in the 22. Shaw and Johnson all over again. :)

    List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade Talk 2016

    Saints would go hard to retain him. They've already pegged him as their Riewoldt replacement. I for one don't really want to go through yet another period dealing with the Lions, but they've loaded up on key forwards. So maybe we can shake the tree and entice McStay to join us?

    List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade Talk 2016

    Hawthorn have an exceptional need for all-in-one midfielders whom you can build a team around. Hodge, Mitchell and Burgoyne are near the end. JOM is exactly that kind of midfielder. And because the likes of Hodge, Mitchell and Burgoyne are near the end, they'll have the cap salary to spare (and...

    List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade Talk 2016

    Sidebottom and Lynch could fit together in the salary cap. Just backend the contract. Reid and Cloke are finishing their contracts in 2017 and I highly doubt either will get the same level of money that they do now. You'd free up ~400-500K a year just from downgrading their contracts alone (plus...
