    Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 8 vs. North Melbourne, MRVL Sat 08/05 @ 4:35 pm

    I don't mind the team they've named. Moore back with Roughead and Keane should mean he doesn't have to play on the opposition's best forwards and can focus more on intercepts and rebound which is the strength of his game down back. Crisp and Sidebottom in the middle is about as good it gets...

    List Mgmt. Trade and F/A - Part 3

    Generally turn overs are in dangerous positions because they catch the defenders in transition between their defensive and offensive structures. If moving the ball aggressively it should be left up to the midfielders and forwards to move the ball so your defense does not undertake such a...

    List Mgmt. Trade and F/A - Part 3

    I agree that fast pressure forwards and repeat forward entries are a good way to win a game of football. However they’re not the only way. The teams that win premierships(particularly multiple ones) rarely do so by following trends but by setting them. You either decide on an ideal game plan...

    List Mgmt. Trade and F/A 2020 Cont’d

    This. I know it's an opposition supporters wet dream to see Collingwood done for cap breaches but the only way any club will ever breach the salary cap going forward is if they get caught paying players in brown paper bags or staffing their gift shop with players family members on six figure...

    List Mgmt. Trade & F/A - 2020

    I wouldn't be too surprised if Lynch is retained as my suspicion is that Cameron has been recruited to put pressure on Cox rather than as backup to Grundy. My reasoning being that the role Cox plays is crucial in Collingwood's transition from defense to offense and they have no suitable...

    List Mgmt. Trade & F/A - 2018/2019 - Part 3

    When discussing issues around clearances people seem to be overlooking one very important factor, the opposition. It's a common adage that when facing a dominant ruck you rove to them instead of your own. The problem there is that you can't always know where the oppositions ruck is going to tap...

    Player Watch Dayne Beams (Retired 2020)

    I'm certain I remember someone, perhaps Ned Guy, say after the trade period last year that they were happy to have bolstered their inside midfield depth with Beams as in their review of the season they considered it as a way to reduce the need to run DeGoey through the middle. Unfortunately...

    Oppo Camp Mason Cox - Freo SSP 2026

    The coaches obviously aren't students of the art of sumo. If they taught Cox when caught at the drop of the ball in a marking contest to bend his knees in order to lower his center of gravity so that his smaller opponents couldn't so easily put him off balance and then time the moment he stood...

    Opinion De Goey: Forward or Midfield?

    The thing that struck me last night when DeGoey went into the middle was that all of sudden when Grundy won a tap it started landing in the lap of a midfielder who was on the move and ready to clear the ball. That player was almost always DeGoey. Last year all of Adams, Treloar, Sier and...

    Why not both?

    Oppo Camp Mason Cox - Freo SSP 2026

    I agree with you that the list management has failed to find that balanced KPF option. Unfortunately that means whenever the team gets found out for missing that player Cox seems to cop a lot of the criticism that imo should be directed at list management for missing that player. If you look at...

    Oppo Camp Mason Cox - Freo SSP 2026

    IMO that's more an issue for his team mates and the coaches. If the opposition have figured out how to set up around him then the coaches have to come up with a response and his team mates execute it. Really I don't see it as being all that different to how the team supposedly has one of the...

    Player Watch Jeremy Howe

    You know if someone ever figures out human cloning they could make an absolute fortune at Collingwood. Ignoring the likes of Sidebottom you'd order 20 Moore's alone. Two down back, two up front, one for a wing, perhaps one for the ruck and the rest for when the others invariably injure...
