You surely must have been flattered by the offer?..

Totally agree with this assessment, i'd add DC to the group of improvers. Also, after a near third of the season its fair to say no one we have brought to the club has enriched the list for 2024 output. Schulz in and Adams/Ginni/Murph out is a significant negative. That, and with a few key...

You are being very kind in describing Rachelle as having fluffed it. Ho won't like looking at his last qtr efforts.

Specifically on Steele and his role last year, its amazing how a huge leg up for us last year , our wings output, has turned around with almost every club doing it differently this year and our 23 advantage vanishing. If i recall correctly, Fagan stated it was his major learning from the 23 GF...

Without going anywhere near tanking or otherwise for a MSD selection, I just wonder how clever we were with our 3 PSSD selections in Feb. Hindsight can make any judge a genius but given we knew DMc was unavailable for most of the season, NM was an uncertain starter and we hardly have a forest of...

Agree TRS, but to me HH and Richards look to have to the most AFL attributes.

The worst selection under Fly, even worse when you consider we had no Howe , basically goin in with 2 tall back, one being a guy who has played a couple of VFL games only. Not to mention the marking ability of our oppo that day...

Me too. First in, I hope ,when we slightly rejig selection criteria based on pace, smarts and upside. I'd love him to play this week.

Im not going to buy into the comparison of Gin V Sch but the moves were absolutely related. My beef then and now, was giving a future first and a second for him was just trading lunacy.

our Skills have been way below the required level, admittedly against the heat of excellent sides but need to improve overnight. It's also the magnitude of the errors, simply kicks to guys in space have been intercepted easy options hit the deck contracting time and space. There were times last...

I have enjoyed the past 2 season as 25 odd game blocks enormously. The excitement, the messaging of the Clubs leaders and optimism generated coming from a dour 20/21 was beyond any reasonable expectation. 22/23 for me by the length of a Steele S drop punt.

Income averaging can be very helpful.

This, and the goal that followed, are the finest and most joyous sliver of Magpie football i have ever seen.

Im not sure about our greatest ever win, to me the drought breaker in 90 was just an out of world experience but i have no doubt as a season this has been the greatest ever ride for a Collingwood supporter to be on. From this time last year when we aggressively traded guys in, through to the...

think i could as well TGG.
