    Analysis Are we a 2016 threat?

    After arguably our best ever trade period what do you think our 2016 prospects are. Personally I saw us cracking the 8 again before I knew we were landing Treloar, Howe or Aish. If I were to take a stab now i'd say 4-5, I have always been optimistic about our 2017+ prospects but I truly...

    Toast Pendles.

    37 Disposals, 20 Contested possessions, 10 Clearances, 10 Tackles and to top it off 0 clangers. 0!!! I am almost certain that in the history of the game no player has had 37 disposals without having at least 1 clanger. "It was as good as I've seen Pendlebury play. And he's played some pretty...

    Review Positives - Round 6 vs Geelong.

    I'm as dissapointed as anyone but all is not lost. Here are my positives. - Nathan Brown is lock in this team right now and has proved plenty of people wrong, he beat Hawkins on a day when there was plenty of supply. - We have 2 of our 4 best mids still to come back in(Sidey, Greenwood). Hard...

    Now that the NAB cup is over, the first team sheet is out and we are preparing for round one it's time to get a few 2015 player predictions. Not looking for your prediction of every player because that would be alot of guesswork. Just some specific player predictions that you are quite bullish...

    Bumped New player Predictions (see latest post #85)

    Just predicting what our new draftee's could acheive in 2015. Because i'm bored. De Goey - 13 games after spending the first half of the season in the VFL, 20 disposal and 1.5 goal average as a half forward. Moore - 8 games in defence, Hine is on record as saying that he will start off as a...

    When will we win our next premiership? (With poll)

    I am completely satisfied with the current trajectory of our rebuild and I have no doubt that we will be contending in 3 years and hopefully win it within 6. I can imagine the club has the same kind of timeline. And yes I am very very bored.

    Bumped 2015 ladder predictions, with poll (recent posts start at #112)

    With trade week wrapped up and our list pretty much finalised aside from a couple of draft picks, time to start thinking about 2015. I personally have us finishing 8th, I think we will follow the same trend as 2015 with a quick start and drop of in the last 3rd of the season. But with better...

    2015 Copeland predictions.

    I know this is extremely premature but may aswell stop thinking about the dissapointing season just gone and look to the future. Here's my predicted top 10: 1. Pendles - Hopefully to go along with his Brownlow, he is our best player and probably will be for a few years to come. 2. Sidey -...

    Should McKenna have been sacked?

    So some pretty reputable sources have said that today McKenna has been sacked so assuming that this is correct, is it the right call? No for me, I don't really understand it to be honest, the team is quite clearly on an upward trend and by all reports the group are completely behind him. Their...

    Roast Under 23's AA team.

    Has Sidebottom become underrated? His year was exceptional, a lock for top 3 in the copeland and in my count 12 brownlow votes. How is it at all possible that they have both Guthrie and Duncan in before him, it's not even a close call it's just nonsensical. I laughed at people who said we...

    Collingwood board average age.

    Very curious as to what age group is the most active around here. I'm 18 btw.

    Toast Pendlebury's year.

    I've seen a few people around here say that they have not rated Pendlebury's year at all and I agree that it hasn't been his very best but he has still been exceptional. Champion data are generally very reliable with their general stats and ratings systems so here's a graph off the AFL website...

    Toast 2014 Season Positives (positives = 'good stuff' - killjoy and ranting elsewhere pls)

    Last game of the round has gone as expected and it's time to wrap up the season and look to our bright future. Here are some of my biggest positives this season. - Games into kids. We have got an amazing amount of game time and experience into young up and coming players as well as some players...

    Universal Love Being Scott Pendlebury

    Unofficial Preview Upsets

    I have been daring to dream this week about Beating those bloody Hawks, It would be an upset and a half and one of the best wins i've seen. So in the lead up I started thinking of some of our biggest upsets, the main two that came to mind were.. Vs West Coast, Round 9 2005. Top vs bottom and...

    Opinion Blair should get more midfield time.

    Blair is much maligned around here and while it is often warranted given his overall impact, it isn't his fault. He is a midfielder, he is terrific in traffic and can use the ball under pressure. He can win the hard ball and draws lots of free kicks in and under due to his height. Has good...

    Opinion I Back Bucks.

    I just want it on record that i think Bucks will coach our next premiership. It's inevitable that when he starts doing well everybody will jump on the bandwagon and say they've always backed him, just like early this year... But i trust Bucks wholeheartedly, we are exactly where we were...

    Review Positives - Round 21 vs Brisbane.

    Struggling to stay positive but here goes. - Kennedy and Broomhead got a lot more midfield time than expected which will help accelerate their development. They are showing good signs - We could well get Moore for our second pick as we continue to get a better draft pick with every loss. We...

    Toast Tooves

    I'm just going to leave this here for the few people who have called for Toovey to be dropped. His kicking may be average and frustrate me at times but he is in the same boat as Frost, it is worth it if he can continue to lock down good forwards.

    Liam Jurrah's kicks 14 after being released from prison.

    Jurrah kicks 14 So Liam Jurrah has kicked 14 goals in his first game back after being in prison. And he started the game at half back... Has some personal hurdles to get through before he can even consider reigniting his AFL career but he certainly has the talent. Do you think he will ever...

    Review Positives - Round 20 vs West Coast.

    I have no intro. - Ben Reid was better today. - Kennedy and Broomhead showed glimpses of what everyone on here knows that they are capable of. - We have three midfielders that provide week in week out, if we can build and not have the quality drop off so far from them three we will have a...

    Review Positives - Round 19 vs Port Adelaide.

    We've had to look very very deep for positives in recent weeks but guess what? We just beat a good side and their are positives aplenty after this game. Here are a few of the biggest for me. - Tony Armstrong, delivered what he promises. Great skills. 100% efficiency. Hope he stays. - We are in...

    Analysis Season Positives

    We are heading into the tail end of the season and just thought we should get a little perspective on the season positives thus far. Especially since there has been very little to smile about in recent weeks. - Twice this year we have apparently been in doomsday situations(round 1 and...

    Analysis Positives - Round 17 vs Essendon.

    Did this last week and had a few people say that i should this after every loss, but i honestly can't really find any. - Beams and Sidebottom were serviceable. - This loss should result in a mass of changes. - We have the bye and have 2 weeks to do some serious soul searching. If you can...

    Positives

    Look i'm extremely dissapointed with that performance so i decided to dig very deep and find some positives out of the game. - Ben Kennedy, the kid can play. he has a sick side step and really stepped up when we needed him. I'm backing him in to be a permanent in our team this year and for the...

    Rebounding Defenders.

    Okay well i really think Langdon, Williams and seedsman are/will be our most vital cogs in a premiership tilt. Although all three move very differently they have many of the same attributes, they can all lock down in defence, they can all read the play and intercept mark, they all have...

    Pendlebury, the best clutch player in the game.

    http://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-premiership/david-king-analyses-the-best-clutch-players-in-the-afl-who-deliver-for-their-teams-when-game-are-close/story-e6frf3e3-1226936495524 I dont generally agree with a lot of David Kings articles, but stats don't lie. Pendles is the best clutch player in...

    What went wrong.

    I'm as disappointed as everyone, but rather than calling for players heads this is my take on what went wrong. Clearances although we've only won them 2 times this year it hadn't been a problem. because our numbers and pressure hadn't allowed efficient clearances, but last night that was gone...

    Our Big Guys
