This was an article I wrote recently and published on TheRoar. Unfortunately, they removed 900 words, changed lots of the rest of it, threw in a few typos and edited the title.
Regardless, here is the link to it (Time for Collingwood and Port to meet in the middle on 'prison bars' stoush)
and...
*Please don't (re)move this thread as Ive spent over 1 year on this and its relevant to CFC*
After over 14 months of work I am pleased to publish my finished project showcasing every single goal from Alan Didak's legendary AFL career with Collingwood. Yes - thats right! All 274 of them in the...
This trade is often seen as an absolute shocker. In 2010 I was pretty young only 8yo and whilst I remember clearly my Pies winning the flag and pretty much every game we played, I never watched much Brisbane (or any other club for that matter), especially since the lions were terrible.
What...
The team of the century no doubt needs to be updated and it interested me to see what players of the 21st century might come in, as well as any omissions from the original team which could be added in hindsight.
The team of the century is as follows:
B: Harold Rumney - Jack Regan - Syd...
Its been apparent ever since the 2018 Grand Final that our biggest on field deficiency is the midfield. No matter the emphasis we place on bringing in a KPF, not even Lockett could get a kick with the delivery from our midfield that takes a beating every week.
Whichever way the naysayers spin...
About time this bloke has his own thread I think, a la Nick Daicos style.
Cant wait to see him next year. Praying the club can play their hand at the draft table well r.e. draft points and getting the most out of our draft picks.
Looking back on the past 11 years we have played in some absolute belters. No doubt Ive forgotten a few but some that spring to mind:
2010 Drawn GF - many neutrals claim it is the best GF ever
2010 GF Replay (not a good spectacle for a neutral fan but a historic win)
2011 Prelim - probably the...
I was intrigued as to how it might look if I ranked teams in the modern era (1990-2019) by awarding points for ladder placings and finals.
I came up with the following system:
Ladder:
1st gives 3 points
2nd to 4th gives 2 points
5th to 8th gives 1 point (excluding several seasons where top 6...
This is something I've never been able to understand.
The free kick count is not indicative of the quality of umpiring throughout a game. It mainly serves as an insight into disposal and tackle statistics
Generally, winning the disposal count means you will be tackling less. Doesn't take much...
Hi all. Im currently doing a big project which will be posted on here soon. To finish it off I need to find some footage of several matches. It can be the full match or just the quarters mentioned.
I've exhausted every possible avenue for these so far, and really need them or I cant complete...
I brainstormed 15 of the greatest tall forwards ever (not the 15 best, just 15 of the best) and of those 15, G. Coventry played the most games.
What if we scaled all of their goals to match his games tally?
I was thinking about what each club needs and am interested to hear which player fans would love to have at their club. As a Pies fan, our midfield and ruck department is fine, but I'd love to have a Jeremy McGovern or Jeremy Cameron who are great KPP but have years left in them. I decided to...
Who do you think we should target in DFA? I think we need to bring someone in.
Josh Walker springs to mind. Id be comfortable having him in the backline round 1. Would allow us to move Moore up forward if that was the direction Bucks wanted to take.
Nick Robertson is someone I really rate as a...
Hi guys,
Heres my portfolio with my AFL artwork. You can view these and more designs (other sports) here.
Will be regularly updated.
All work is completely my own creation, barring sourced images - credit to their respective owners.
Amidst the dozens of trades Collingwood are involved in this year, lets look at our 2013 trading and drafting period which completely changed the club and set up what we have today
Daisy went to Carlton in restricted Free Agency.
Traded Picks 11 (Dom Sheed), 31 & 49 to West Coast for Picks 6...
Heres mine.
B: Medium/Tall who can play tall or small (e.g. Dylan Grimes) --- Big full back (e.g. Daniel Talia) --- small/medium defender (e.g. Nick Smith)
HB: Dasher who pushes onto Wing (e.g. Jack Crisp) --- CHB who is a great interceptor (e.g. Keath or JMcGovern) --- rebounder who can play...
I'm sick of the media i.e Tom Browne and his schoolyard friends pushing the agenda of Collingwood being 18 million dollars over the salary cap.
I thought why not lets just apply our expertise guesswork and see what our salary cap is roughly.
If you/we know of an actual figure a player is on...
One thing that worries me is that the youth of this club just seems quite boring (i guess you could say) compared to other clubs. obviously weve been unlucky with drafting in terms of injuries and trading all our picks for 30 year olds, but where do you see our best 22 in 5 years time?
Players...
Obviously the AFL has all their player profile images on file. How can we access them in good quality, unlike the crappy LQ 219 x 317 ones on google images and the team's websites.
I would love to have access to them to use for swapping guernseys this trade period, and not just the high quality...
Who are some players in the 21st century who have missed Grand Finals due to injury that definitely would've played had they been available? I'm not talking about players who were dropped like Jaymie Graham and Tom Murphy, only injured players.
(P.S there is a very old thread kinda like this...
Hi there, I'm compiling a list of my favourite pictures of AFL ever. There are a few that I need help finding and would greatly appreciate anyone who can help me out:
- Capper's 1 handed mark over Langford in HD and colour I've seen it before but Google is only supplying crappy b&W LQ pics
-...
