Not to mention how easily a single event changes the rhetoric around coaches. I wonder how the rhetoric around Bucks and Mick as Collingwood coaches changes if Sheed misses in 2018 and the ball bounces up for Milne in 2010...

This is such tripe. “Silence is so gutless”. Really? Trav Varcoe doesn’t have an obligation to speak publicly about these issues.

So the people that think like you are the “good, ordinary Australians”. What about the people that don’t think like you? Are they not good, ordinary Australians?

The biggest difference between 2017 and 2018 was consistency. One of the reasons I was pro-Buckley at the end of 2017 was that we generally played well against the best teams. We’d generally beat the bottom teams, play well against the top teams but often struggled against other middling teams...

So what you’re saying is that West Coast weren’t able to take advantage of it? It’s almost as if one team took their chances and the other team blew their chances... but yes, all the umpires fault.

No, it was in the side.

He’s actually had a pretty decent last month. That just doesn’t fit the “blame all of Collingwood’s forward line woes on Cox” narrative though so it doesn’t get mentioned.

Cox on track for 12 tonight

By the time Monday night rolls around Pies will likely have a 3-1-2 record against other top 8 teams plus whatever the result against Port is going into the finals series. Probably should have won against Richmond and Brisbane too. Also won 5 of the last 7 games. The Pies poor form is...
