Maxy is certainly not a great player, but given his lack of natural football ability, and the perseverance it must have taken to even get onto an AFL list, the fact that he ended up the captain of the biggest sporting club in the country that won a flag during his captaincy is a testament to his...

Sinclair's defensive pressure doesn't make up for his lack of ability to be any threat in the forward line. So, I think it's time for him to go. Fasolo was also crap today, and why Sack was the sub instead of him astounds me! Fas needs to understand that he's so far from being a superstar it...

I wonder why the club hasn't met with the umpires regarding Cloke's treatment every week. It seems he plays under a different set of rules than all other players. He is constantly held, has his arms and head chopped and often has to deal with defenders flying at him with no eyes on the ball...

I registered this morning, and followed the advice to "include standing room" tickets, but I'd better not get standing. We selected Legends membership specifically to be able to take our kids to the GF if we get in, but there's no way I'm taking a 3 and 9 year old to a packed MCG and be in the...

It's official. Next year football boots will be outlawed in the AFL, and replaced with ballet shoes.

The real reason we're struggling this year is that we're down on clearances, which I honestly think comes from not having Luke Ball on the bottom of every pack. It was when he joined the pies that we started dominating in that area, and despite the emergence of Beams, we're still lacking in that...

Tarrant has lost a bit of pace, so he won't be able to go with Buddy. I like Brown for that job, and I'm fairly sure he's had a couple of good games against Buddy in previous years, albeit with help from Maxy and Harry. I'd put Toovey on Rioli and leave Harry free to break the lines and give...

One thing that we have improved upon from last time we played them is that we no longer have Simon Buckley in the side. He coughed it up to the Hawks about 5-6 times last time we played. If we're going to win, we need to run and carry in numbers, and tackle like we've never tackled before. I...

This is one of the rules that I hate the most, mainly because didak is really good at spoiling this way and without making any real contact. But... every single time he does this, he gets a free kick against him. I've seen it paid numerous times even when there's no contact at all. So...

Why was Mooney subbed out so early in the game? He was fairly good in the limited time he was given, and I don't think he was injured, so it was strange that he was subbed so early.

Why don't we do some deal to give him a coaching job at the end of his playing career. Why not make him a "marking coach"?

It's all very well to say that we were indisciplined, and we probably were - that's reflected by the frees against us. But the fact that the frees were 9-0 at one stage, and 21-10 by the end is suggesting that the opposition were close to perfect in everything they did. And in such a tightly...

Oh yes, there is something special about Eddie... he happens to be a lot better at helping his club than other Presidents. Just look at Richmond... If the revival was going to happen regardless of Eddie, thanks to the television rights, then why are so many other clubs struggling? And you...

Well, your memory is definitely letting you down - Eddie became president in 1998, not 1994. I find it very hard to believe that any Collingwood supporter would want to go back to the way it was before Eddie stepped in. We were an absolute rabble, both on field and off field. So, as an...

I'll employ him. As long as someone gives me the $300k per year to pay for his services!
