I just thought I'd let the board in on a bit of a secret that some might find useful. If you have Foxtel by Telstra and have an IQ2 box and you call them to upgrade to IQ4 satellite, in most cases you will have to pay $125 for the box plus installation fees. I think that will set you back at...

Hi guys, sadly I will not be in Melbourne on Grand Final day as I'm off overseas on the 27th. As it happens I will be in New York on grand final day (or night as it will be there) and I'm looking for suggestions as to where to watch the Pies win another flag. I'm told that The Australian Bar in...

Now I know that there is a separate thread which deals with the drug issue as reported by Mark Robinson and the Herald Sun but I think it's worth discussing one of the issues to come out of it in its own right. This thread is not to downplay the significance of player behaviour or the separate...

Background I have been a smoker for most of my adult life and at my worst I have smoked up to 40 cigarettes a day. Now most of us who smoke or have smoked know that virtually every smoker would quit in a moment if there was a reasonably easy way to do it. Yes I know that some smokers say they...

Just wanted to send out a cheer to all the Collingwood Dads. I have 2 of my 3 with me this weekend and because my fiance is away overseas I've spent more time with them than I usually get which has been fantastic for me. Here's hoping you all have a great day capped of with a victorious season...

You know what? I’m sick to death of the raging argument around Bucks and his ability to coach. Blind Freddy can see that the vultures are circling and to be fair, the signs are not good and haven’t been for some time. Whilst there have been some positives in his tenure to date, and I include the...

Just thought he needed something on the way out the door. May your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny door down! May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits! feel free to join in! EDIT: For the benefit of Brisbane trolls and Flogs. It's tongue in cheek. Go and play in your...

I have said something to this effect elsewhere but think it's worth its own thread. Given that the waters seem to have been muddied around the motivation in the Beams saga, I have to wonder if it wouldn't be wise for the AFL to bring in new trading conditions specifically to handle contracted...

Pretty clear to any rational mind that the club should be taking a leaf out of Mick's book and planning a roast chicken day for supporters. It's pretty obvious that the savings would be enormous over sausages when you consider how many headless chooks we have access to. How embarrassing it is...

I really don't want to start another shytefight so please keep it nice in here but I have to draw attention to the fact that I believe our BF brethren seem to me to be far more united this year than at any time since Mick left the club. It seems like it has been forever since the vast majority...

Hello Carlton! Hello Carlton! Hello Carlton! Hello Carlton! Hello Carlton! Hello Carlton! Is there an echo in here?

A great little article by Patrick Smith in the Australian. Every Collingwood supporter should read it. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/buckley-era-finally-begins-after-collingwood-starts-wielding-axe/story-e6frg6n6-1226716401141 If there are any doubts here about what is happening at the...

This thread is intended to focus on the fall-out likely from the obvious current divisions in the club's support base. It's pretty obvious that there are two distinct schools of thought amongst the faithful right now and there seems little common ground between them. On the one hand there are...

Seriously, enough is enough and the scum board must act and take the appropriate steps to rectify the failure of the Malthouse recruitment. Too many fail to fire a shot in the playing group. The reason the scum are not playing well is because he cannot get the respect of any players. It is time...

Probably don't need to say much except that if you watched the footy tonight you probably saw the most inept umpiring performance in a long time. I actually feel sorry for the umpires. They clearly answer to idiots!

I'm not usually all that fussed by what the commentators say but was I the only one who felt that Bruce's barracking for StKilda last night was way over the top? He nearly had an orgasm when Milne kicked what was one of the easiest goals in the game early just for starters. At one point...

Big blow to St Kilda. Not sure what else to say except my margin prediction now looks too conservative.

I've said it elsewhere but I reckon this issue deserves its own thread. Are we seeing a watershed day for Bucks and the 2013 Collingwood side tonight? The team selected for this match would seem to indicate that either by design or otherwise, Bucks has completely redefined the team strategy...

Probably don't need to say more than the thread title but talk about a reborn titan! Recruiting mastery! In Hine we trust!

I thought it would be interesting in the wake of Mick Malthouse's departure for Collingwood fans to rate the coaches that they remember in their order of merit. I will personally be fascinated to know where people rate Mick after his 12 year stint from 2000 to 2011 in comparison to people like...

Are the admins aware that there is currently a problem with this. Several members have mentioned that they cannot quote posts or like posts and we all get a message about some kind of java error. If you're aware of it then ignore, just making sure you know.

I've managed to watch the replay of Saturday's match twice now and I have to say the I was so pleased to see Dids back. You wouldn't say it was a quantam leap forward but his class really stood out to me. His disposal and his decision making was pretty good for someone coming of an injury and he...

In the 53 years I have been on this planet there have been many great moments in football. Some have been exhilarating and others anything but. In recent days, a couple of posters here have started threads about matches which they feel are memorable and there was one comment in the 2010...

In contrast to a few nervous nellies out there who believe that the only thing achieved by the suspension handed down to Dane Swan is pain, I propose a toast of the highest order to the Leadership group and the management of the Collingwood football club for a courageous decision which enhances...

Not much talk about Kosi deliberately turning his shoulder into Reid or Milne's boots first slide. Will be interesting to see the MRP take on thse two incidents. Did Kosi have an opportunity to avoid what could have been a serious collision or at least mitigate it? How will the MRP view what...

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/afl/more-news/lance-franklin-to-miss-three-weeks-with-hamstring-injury/story-e6frf9jf-1226421556579 OK, now before anyone gets the wrong idea, there is no way I would take delight in a players injury but having said that, in light of our massive string of outs it's...

Seriously guys. One loss in 11 matches and people turn on everything in sight. We are Collingwood and we bounce back and we don't eat our own! Floreat Pica!

Eddie has presided over an unequalled period of growth and sustained success for the club during his tenure and one can only wonder where the club would be without him. His enthusiasm for the club at great personal cost have seen jawdropping membership numbers and the introduction of the best...

Good morning Adrain. Just thought I'd drop you a quick note about something you could do to make the sub rule a bit more fair and equitable and guess what, it's based on logic and not anecdote like your as yet unproven theory on soft tissue injuries which seems to be copping a bit of a pounding...

Is it dead? A frayed knot! Well not from where I'm sitting anyway. Much as I hate to throw fuel on the fire, I believe there is much work to do to make this thing go away. That Ed, Bucks and Maxwell have scoffed at the rumour is well and good and certainly indicates solidarity at the top...
