    Autopsy Collingwood defeated by 66 points by Port Power - No place for positives

    It has never been more obvious how important and central Nick Maxwell was to our side. We generally don't have anyone with leadership credentials in our back half. Taylor Adams playing down there gave us structure and a general to marshal the troops and direct them. Without him we looked lost...

    Is there anyone who doesn't in your eyes?

    Analysis Our next month is make or break for 2016

    If we make it I'd like to think we'd give it a shake and not be crushed but if it happens then we will find out more about our players, our game plan and our coach. Finals is the be all and end all. You have to be in it to win it and even the best can fall in a heap on any given day. We need to...

    Analysis Our next month is make or break for 2016

    Experience mate. Our lads are so young and many haven't ever played in a final, so just being in an elimination and losing would be invaluable. We play some big games throughout the regular season (ANZAC day and Queens Birthday) but nothing is as ruthless as an elimination final. As much as...

    Preview Changes vs Bulldogs (final team no change from last week, although cloud over White)

    He looks really well settled. Maybe the switch down back has given him a bit more understanding of how to be a forward? In the past at times he looks lost. He leads to the wrong spots and puts himself out of the picture or doesn't impact with his size and speed. At the moment he is really...

    Preview Changes vs Bulldogs (final team no change from last week, although cloud over White)

    Can't see Cloke coming back in. Buckley has repeatedly stated he needs to put in a block of work in the VFL at the required level, not just play an amount of games. So far he has 1 decent game and 2 with little to no impact. It shouldn't matter if they are being belted (1st game in VFL) Cloke...

    Davoren must go

    Single greatest line on Collingwood BF. ;):D:):p

    Universal Love There is not enough love for Greenwood

    Pendlebury, Selwood, Ablett, Western Bulldogs midfield, Cunnington - All these are tough in and under guys that gather possessions under pressure but CAN effectively dispose of it. Levi has been in the top flight for nearly 10 years and still makes the same decisions and the same mistakes. He...

    Universal Love There is not enough love for Greenwood

    Not really. Look at the stats over his career. One of the worst DE %'s in the game. The things he does well are kick goals and lay tackles. As long as he does that I'm happy but I'd rather he didn't have 20+ possessions a game as that will kill us in turnovers. He is an excellent negating...

    Player Watch Tom Langdon (Retired 2020)

    It's not that they are fickle to me. It revolves more on the mood they try and create for the topic. If you look at previous articles in the media Collingwood have been beaten (by teams we expected to beat) and played very poorly. Certainly no "honorable" losses so far this year. Therefore the...

    Pendles the captain

    He doesn't display passion on the field. I've seen him animated and very vocal with the team while directing players and setting up at stoppages. Generally though he comes across as cool, calm and collected. Seems like the kind of bloke that rarely loses it, or if so, its behind closed doors...

    Analysis Level-Headed Discussion Round 7

    And when we are "on" we can't maintain it. For some reason when the boys have momentum shifts they are dramatic and sustained. We either hammer them for a quarter or are hammered for a quarter. I personally think there must be a communication breakdown between the coaching box and the players...

    Analysis Level-Headed Discussion Round 7

    His handball skills aren't any good either. Against WCE he missed a player 2 metres away in the clear with limited pressure that lead to a turn over and goal twice in the 3rd quarter. He busts a gut to win a clearance but then turns it over immediately. If he wasn't hitting the scoreboard and...

    Opinion Buckley answers not good enough

    Nice write up. I think you cut right to the heart of the matter from a supporters perspective. We all care. We just want to know how and why it is so bad right now and what is being done to improve. Give us a metric for week on week improvement - contested ball numbers. Scores from...

    Pendles the captain

    I'd like to be dismissive of any query on Pendlebury's leadership as I really rate the bloke and think he does far more than any of us see for the entire club, let alone the players. Something I really don't see is "on-filed" leadership. That is not just Pendles either, no one displays any out...
