    To snag a flag, are we better off losing to Geelong in the QF?

    What a year, as Ralph Fiennes might say "Its like a fairytale" Things have rolled our way and maybe that will continue long enough to snag a flag. Are we the best list? Lets make the irrelevent for the moment. Truth is the AFL finals series pays little heed to fairness. The fact that the top 4...

    Preview Collingwood V Western Bulldogs, Friday 19th march 2021, 7:50 pm. MCG

    INTRODUCTION Well it's back, Footy. How good does it feel to know in a little over 24 hours a lot of us will be at the G and the rest fixed to the TV watching the Pies go round. Exciting. Great to get this tortuous off season over and done with and relegated to history. I for one may have...

    Magpie Girl Retires (From Modding)

    It is with much sadness and a great sense of celebration the Mod team would like to announce the beautiful Magpie Girl is hanging up her spurs Since 76 departed MG has been the senior mod and had a big role in teaching all the team the ropes. Balance, care, empathy and knowing what was “the...

    Mega Thread The Bucks Megathread.

    This is the new Bucks megathread. The last one has become too large and needed shutting down. Admin has recommendations in place for large threads. Welcome to the next instalment.

    Universal Love Vicky Park has left the moderating tent.

    As a canny bat picked up my hint was perhaps too obvious and the news is out. Time for a few tributes Vicky Park has decided to draw the curtain on her moderating career. Remember how you felt when the news came that Bucks was hanging up the boots. From a BF perspective, parallel lines. She was...

    Prediction Player Claim for 2018 - Brayden Sier

    Will break out in 2018. Big frame and line breaking will make him the 2nd best out of Marcellin ever. Career end has gone past SOS.

    Interesting week on the board, seems like angst despite wins at times. All good This thread is not the official game day thread but rather a precursor to explain the next step in trialling dual game day threads and giving posters a heads up on our thinking. Last week I was being a bit...

    Puopolo struggles with finals football

    Great game tonight, one of the best. Hawks are such a great side but I do believe that greatness has protected Paul Puopolo from greater scrutiny as he does struggle with finals footy and this would be highlighted more if he played in a less successful team. Tonight he had 10 possessions, no...

    Who are Collingwoods biggest rivals in 2016

    When I grew up 60's and 70's we had some massive suburban rivals. Coll v Carl was the biggest but Coll v Melb had been and there was still the residuals left of that. Coll v Rich was the other big one. Essendon built again later , Geel provided some big contests which have persisted. In more...

    List Mgmt. Collingwood needs to improve the top part of the list not the bottom six

    I am starting this thread because I see our improvement coming from the top of the list as youngsters develop and become A grade e.g Moore, De Goey, we pick up A grade talent e.g Treloar , as injured stars e.g Reid have full seasons or as Varcoe and Crisp become fixtures. I have a few more...

    Analysis Expectations of top 10 draft picks v later draft picks

    At the risk of boring you silly I have put together analysis of the above topic with my own interpretations. My interest was sparked by what I see as a wide disparity of what expectations there are for our new recruits. In particular I have thought about the likelihood of say a De Goey v a...

    Opinion Is our youth as good as a lot of people are speculating

    Like many others on this board I have been mulling over 2014 and how we can go forward. I have a few views on the youth and seniors on our list that is gnawing away at me. We have the basis of a very good list and should be doing better even injuries considered. As I sit back and go over our...

    Dale Thomas - Papers lodged 7th October! - post #1200

    Sorry to intrude but I was interested in gauging Carlton BF posters feelings re Daisy. It looks like you are right into him and if the rumoured offer is true I can't see Collingwood wanting to match it. Interested in your thoughts. Pretty devastating for Pies fans as he is much loved. MM and...

    Will the top 4 teams ownership of the Preliminary Finals be upset in 2013

    I realise I may get shot down as a Collingwood supporter posting this on the main board but one of the interesting parts of this finals series is the role Collingwood may play in it. I am assuming the top 4 is set although positions are yet to be established. These 4 teams almost certainly...

    I went to the Collingwood Convention for Legend and Captain members tonight. About 3000 turned up at Melbourne Convention Centre.

    News Confirmed: Jack Frost elevated

    Given Reid isn't certain for round 1 and rookie upgrades have to be in this week you would now think Frost is a certainty for elevation to the senior list. Article also sheds light on Fas and Krak. Krak must still be battling a few demons and his lack of application both pre 2012 and now this...

    Bookies reckon Carlton won't make the 8

    Bookies saying Carlton won't make the 8. Interesting to see Carlton have now been wound out to 11th on the list of teams to make the 8. They are now clearly over even money ($2.55) so the Bookies don't expect them to be there. The weight of money argument, e.g why Hawks have remained flag...

    The round 7 rule at odds with the bookies

    The round 7 rule as espoused by Rohan Connelly in the Age this week would have it there is very little change in the top 8 teams from here on in. In the last 10 years there has never been more than 1 team finish in the 8 who wasn't there at round 7. In 2008 there was no change. After round 7...

    While Carlton supporters wail about Gibbs, didn't we nail the 2006 draft

    I looked in on the Carlton board today just to see if I couldn't find a bit of wailing and gnashing of teeth. I wasn't unhappy with what I found. Not surprisingly a lot of Blues posters want Gibbs blood for his softness and lack of desire around a contested ball. A no 1 draft pick would seem...

    Which contender will not live up to expectations and why?

    Its often mentioned that most years a team comes from nowhere to top 4 and becomes an unexpected contender. Think of WCE last year. Think 2007 when all the top 4 were new and 3 didn't even make the finals in 2006 As frequent but perhaps less discussed is the team that enters the season full...

    Geelong and Collingwood playing for more than just the 2011 flag

    I think we have potentially one of the great Grand Finals ahead of us. Pies been unsteady recently but hopefully can fire up. Cats could blow Pies away but I dont think Collingwood are likely to give it up easily in MMs last match The other point of interest is we have a situation which is...

    Is Geelong on the verge of all time great status?

    Season 2011 is starting to shake itself out and Geelong have become a clear contender. If they were to win the flag giving them 3 in 5 years they will start to be ranked with the all time great sides To me it would put them in a range with Carl 68-72, Rich 67-74, Carl 79-81 and Bris 2001-4...
