Until they get Zac butters in the trade period

Gosh this feels right now you mention it

 

[joey_jo_jo]

if we end up bottom can we make sure we get a H Reid or W Duursma with the number 1 pick?
Eagles performance the last two weeks gives me a little optimism after feeling pretty low last night. If you get access to the top 3 or 5 players its a big difference vs the rest of first round.

 

[The Airing of Grievances]

At least we're not Carlton bad.

Not so sure. They at least have shown enough ability to get 6 goal leads in the first half. Given our forward line 'efficiency', if they got that lead against us, we'd have to hold them scoreless in the second half to even be a chance to fall over the line.

Really? I prefer be losing whole game and gettinh a bit closer with strong final qtr, than build up a big lead and then completely shit the bed.

 

[Doss]

At least we aren’t getting teased at the moment. We just suck from word go.

Carlton on the other hand? It’s glorious. They’re the cheetah of the comp; out of the blocks with a bang and then grind to a halt without fail.

A few more losses like that and Voss is out of runway.

Has Nas been overrated?

It seems like his reputation was hugely inflated after the game against Melbourne.

He was great that game but even bog- average players are capable of out-of-the-box games (Shane Ellen 5 goals, Kyle Reimers

8 goals for example).

Nothing I've seen from him this year suggests he is anything more than a good, solid player.

Well he was bloody good against Lions

 

[doug85]

3 match ban for Xerri.

Well deserved

 

[Milanista28]

He said this as a joke, but I think it would actually work, it would instantly lighten the mood bring levity to the situation and allow the players to relax.

 

[jctrout]

one worth a look at for player development

 

[jctrout]

here's another:

 

[King Patty]

Definitely has that cattle farmer look about him.

Zac Bailey possibly suits cats more.

forward/mid, only salary cap so no trade required provided can outbid Lions.

Just reduce Danger to minimum wage + cotton on money, plus free Beef from Jezza Camerons farm.

Draper spoiling and getting a fingertip on goal of the year from his own teammate

 

[Chief Hopper]

Draper spoiling and getting a fingertip on goal of the year from his own teammate

Apart from that, so far Draper looks very good tonight.
Crashing packs, contested marks. Dominating the centre.
We could use that..

 

[JayJ20]

Brisbane's ball movement is just mind blowing. Maybe I should start watching more neutral games to see what football should look like.

 

[Phone]

every year I figure they've quietly changed it so that deliberate rushed behind free-kicks are taken from the top of the goal square and every year I'm surprised

 

[fanuch]

Miss miss cockys piss worked again. Suffer Draper

 

[Goat Hird]

Draper summed up in seconds

 

[Call Me Cake]

Hey Collingwood, you're one of us now

 

[quotemokc]

here's another:

You see this in the NFL too. The players association push for less and less 'at work' practice.

The best players are the ones that put in the work week in week out and in the off season, look at what Nic Martin achieved in order to get himself on an AFL list.

 

[jannissary]

no naicos no collingwood eh

 

[eth-dog]

no naicos no collingwood eh

Well there's a bit of difference between the best player on your list (and arguably the league) and 27th best on your list, someone around the 500th best in the AFL (theoretically).

 

[mike14]

This should have been an 80+ point flogging. Pies lucky the Lions goal kicking was off

 

[Blind Turn]

Do you know what sucks massively? Listening to Draper make a pointed comment crediting the Lion’s medical team for getting his body right.
