    taking a break

    Hey all, it's been fun being more active on bigfooty, but things could get real messy because of one of my posts and I'm opting to take a break in the interim.

    Meet Up VFL | post-match, after the final siren (approx. 4pm) @ Lulie St tavern, rear 288 Johnson St

    Hopefully it's not our last VFL match at Vic Park for the year, but given it's our last home and away match at our traditional home for the year I figured we'd be silly not to make the most of it. Saturday 13th August After the final siren of the VFL match (~ 4pm) Lulie St Tavern - rear 288...

    Dave Lowden SEN: Robbo guessed the drug figures, but his "source" was inside the club

    Dave Lowden was just on SEN talking with Bartlett about sources in journalism and the need for anonymity. Lowden: Robinson made up the figures and club in the drug story where he named Collingwood Bartlett: Robinson would argue he had a source Lowden: has to be careful what he can say in...

    Article Proposed Amalgamation of Rugby and Australian Football

    This proposal would have changed the football landscape like no other. Basically the idea was to bring Sydney Rugby League and the ANFC in line with each other to create a universal code. Reads like talks were occurring for some time and that possibly the war stopped the draft rules progressing...

    Toast Didak, Maxwell, Eddie Hillgrove + Heloise Pratt 2015 life members

    Thought this deserved it's own thread, instead of tacking it into the Malthouse one. Congrats to both. EDIT: only just read that Eddie Hillgrove and Heloise Pratt were also awarded life membership. Don't know much about either, but I'm sure both have made worthy contributions.

    Draft Order

    With all these picks likely to be burnt by academy selections thought I'd do an updated list on where our picks actually sit. Obviously we may not take 5 selections and not all picks may be used by others. 1 to 9 - non academy clubs 10 - GWS 11 to 32 - non academy clubs 27 - (live 26) -...

    topping up vs rebuilding

    A bit of discussion in the finals thread about how the introduction of Gold Coast and GWS has shaped the current form of competition and in particular Hawthorn's sustained dominance. The same could be said of Geelong. Obviously there's more to their success, but as Ant85 suggested it's worth...

    how to fix free agent compo picks

    There's been a lot of talk about Carlton and Brisbane getting band 1 compo (picks 2 and 4) following Melbourne getting pick 3 for Frawley last year. There's clearly a lot wrong with the current compensation bands. While I think there's merit in a similar ranking system to father son/academy...

    The Age claims AFL considering reducing father-son criteria

    According to The Age Swann and Eddie are pushing the AFL to reduce the games criteria for father-sons, which is being considered for 2016 to balance out the academies. The article says it could be reduced from anything between 1 to 50 games. Goes on to talk about grandfather-sons, which is...

    Our 2nd greatest streak of consecutive years in the finals ends

    Looking at this http://forever.collingwoodfc.com.au/matches/ we really have been privileged to have had such a great run of making the finals in recent years. Last night ended our streak for consecutive years of finals at 8 years, which equals our second greatest sequence. 8 years of finals is...

    Time to decide

    The club needs to decide if we are a genuine chance next year or if we are still a couple of years off and trade accordingly. If they believe we can make up the gap in strength and experience with the addition of a few players we should go all out and gain those players. Much like St Kilda...

    Guy Richards

    Thought it was one of his better games tonight. Some nice taps and not as many mistakes. I think he needs to be more aware of his limitations though.

    AFL logo on number

    How bad does the AFL logo look stuck on the bottom of the jumper numbers, particually when on both numbers. Should be removed for all future games
