    News Don Pyke appointed CEO

    I am. And I’m going into hospital in 12 hours for cancer re-surgery. Glass half full or empty? It is YOUR choice. It’s not what happens to you but how you react that counts. 😀

    Agree. Even if he was cheap, would only take him if he gives leadership rather than needs leadership. That’s currently as much in short supply as straight up talent.

    List Mgmt. Welcome Campbell Chesser (Pick 14, 2021 National Draft)

    Chesser is creating some problems for his rusted on haters. Can a favourite whipping boy be rehabilitated without egos being bruised?

    Autopsy Round 23, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Western Bulldogs

    I’m not sure Hall adjusted to the pace of AFL. He’s not quick by foot or by hand or decision making. He also seems to get wrapped up very easily once he gets the ball - maybe lift the ball above your waist to avoid your arms being pinned? But he’s played SFA so I’ll hold off on a stronger...

    Autopsy Round 23, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Western Bulldogs

    IIRC Morris was taken at around 30 so a lot of other clubs also made a ‘bad decision’.

    Injury BHHIU (Formerly SJOGHCIU) - 2025 Fingers Crossed Edition

    Yep more damn dump kicks on the weekend … but … oh wait Duggan wasn’t there. And I think two came from Tom McC but they weren’t really ‘dump kicks’ because he’s a fan favourite. Point being, Duggan makes dump kicks but so do many others. And if you play in the backline there’s a greater...

    Coach Welcome to West Coast: Andrew McQualter

    I’ve heard very experienced coaches like BScott, Clarkson and Lyon talk of their sides’ inexperience. Given were the most inexperienced I think it’s a credit to Mini that he doesn’t use that language. He remains pretty level regardless of results. It will be interesting to see his changes to...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025

    It’s in the AFL rules: Section 128(a) iii - the AFL must ask the permission of any team with colours of black and white before scheduling them away from the MCG. And, if forced to do so, reasonable compensation shall be made (as determined by the AFL Collingwood Fairness Sub-committee).

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025

    Thought I was watching Crows and Pies on ‘neutral’ Kayo but somehow I got the Collingwood cheer squad commentary team. Some of the most one sided barracking I’ve heard from vAFL media flogs. But ‘their’ Pies lost. Ha-feckin-ha. Now, no home finals and straight sets please.

    No l believe Tom has an EXCLUSIVE that Oscar is going to a Queensland team. AND he knows it not Gold Coast. So he’s scouting around trying to find out who it might be.

    Prediction Round 23, 2025: Changes vs Western Bulldogs

    Point being we don’t really know what goes on inside the squad. We don’t what the coaches are asking of individual players. We don’t if they’re trying players in new positions to fill holes or to just generally increase the flexibility of the squad or whether they see things in the players that...

    Much discussion and many replays about pushing payers into other players with potential to cause harm. Even wheeled the Ginbey preseason one. Melsham and Gov …

    Prediction Round 23, 2025: Changes vs Western Bulldogs

    Maybe because Archer tries harder? That’s my question about JWill.

    Prediction Round 23, 2025: Changes vs Western Bulldogs

    But why? This time last year he was on the up. Looked good. I think it is JWill not Mini that might be the problem. If he had the 'internal fortitude' he'd have played his ring out to show the coach he's wrong. He hasn't.

    List Mgmt. Welcome Harley Reid (Pick 1, 2023 National Draft)

    What? At their current rate they'll get their second premiership in 2037. That would still be within a 12 year contract. Just.

    Prediction Round 23, 2025: Changes vs Western Bulldogs

    Watching JWill at either level, I think he's locked himself in a cage in the basement.

    Autopsy Round 22, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Adelaide

    It's Duggan, don't try any logic or facts here! It's Duggan - we all know he's bad in every situation.

    List Mgmt. Welcome Clay Hall (Pick 38, 2023 National Draft)

    Like other young players Hall's a bit 'deer in the headlights' at times but that's to be expected. As he gets more used to the tempo and gets stronger/fitter/more confident he should become a 'good average' player - the type of player that all teams need. :whitecheck:

    Davis can be a bit tentative. But Hall and other juniors can be. A preseason and a few more games will help.

    Autopsy Round 22, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Adelaide

    The kick across the ground is an attacking kick. But risky. The alternative is the boring ‘long down the line’ which is just soooo predictable. And it allows well set up teams to quickly send it back - with interest. I’m not unhappy they’re trying to be attacking. They’re still learning...

    List Mgmt. Contracts/Trade/Draft Thread - 2025 Edition

    Saw something Collingwood might offer JHowe a deal that included a post career coaching option. Sort of a sweetener I guess to pay him less dollars. Presumably if he’s possible coach material you’d think he must be of good character. Of interest?

    Prediction Round 23, 2025: Changes vs Western Bulldogs

    He’s had almost 100 games and has never been much more than a list clogger. Sorry but I just can’t get sentimental over his impending departure. Great athlete. Shite footballer.

    Wearing his Freo and now Swans hats I imagine we can expect his usual unbiased call?

    Autopsy Round 22, 2025: Positives and Negatives vs Adelaide

    Positive: shows what can happen when (on average) the senior players are better thus giving the juniors confidence and support. Negative: where has this been for much of the season?
