Wondering how many are changing opinions on beliefs held for some time. Trolls need not reply.
1 Nicks is a hopeless coach and should be sacked (I'm guilty and have changed my mind).
2 Fog is hopeless and should be delisted.
3 Jones is hopeless and should be desisted.
4 Smith is cooked and not...
VERSUS
2021 and we are in a looooooong daaaaaaark tunnel. Is that a faint glimmer of light in the distance?
Or is it a mirage? A false hope that things will improve sometime when we emerge from the hell of this darkness?
The kids now showing promise are the hope for the future. The...
Hawthorn, Carlton, North Melbourne and Richmond got stood in the naughty corner for breaking Covid rules. When will Caro come out and demand they all get draft picks stripped?
Time to kiss off the 2018 shitehouse year and start afresh.
The 2019 season looms as a good one for our club with the talent we currently have and some high picks in a good draft.
A question: Does the club do enough for its members? I kinda feel taken for granted these days. It's a seller's...
With all the excitement surrounding David Mackay this week--200 games/signing on--there's been a startling lack of analysis on here about whether or not we can beat GWS this week.
Can we? Give us your reasons for or against.
I reckon we can. Our resolve is strong. We should have our best team...
If the Swans get up over North and GWS gets rolled by the Tiggers--very possible outcomes--then we are one game and about 18% points out of the 8 at the end of this round. Belt Brisbane for % hopefully, although they beat the Hawks today, so they may not be the easy beats they've been earlier...
There are far too many negative threads on our board after a few losses. If the club followed the advice on here there would be no coaching or admin senior staff left plus quite a few players gone. How about we place all these negative pieces of bs into one mega-thread and call it something...
DE BATTLE OF DE BOIDS
Collingwood: The (real) Magpies: The Collywobbles: The Woods or Woodsmen: The Pies (Hot or Cold): The Britannias (1897): The Cuthberts.
There may be a few I've missed. Perhaps our resident Collingwood troll might like to point them out.
When this club was formed in...
This is a different side to last year.
1 Harder--more determined.
2 Lower the eyes instead of bombing.
3 All players playing for the team not self.
4 Organic growth.
5 Flexible gameplan with good coaching moves on matchdays.
Add yours.

Saturday night 7.10 PM. Be There
Well, what a shemozzle last weekend for both clubs. Over on the Ds board they lament that they got off to a poor start and that cost them the game. Our poor starts are becoming the stuff of legend. As neither club bothers to turn up...
It's time.
Last year we had some humongous predictions come true--and a lot more that didn't.
Post yours for the coming season.
Josh Jenkins and I both reckon there is no reason why the Crows can't go all the way this year.
There's the number one prediction for this year...
PREMIERS 2017.
ADELAIDE 2.4 5.5 9.10 14.13 (97)
FREMANTLE 1.3 2.11 3.14 8.16 (64)
Freo started with their skipper as an extra in defence. This set the tone for the way they took it up to the Crows in this game. They were undermanned with so many outs, but by jingo, they came to play.
Their defence...

HOW IT WAS:
Shiver me timbers—Freo, back when the ships were made o’ wood and the men o’ steel
Back in days of yore when I were a sailor man, oh arrr, creatin ‘avoc in sea ports around the world I ‘appened to sail in and out o’ Port Adelaide and Fremantle ‘arbour on many an...
Thought it time to have one of these. With the lack of info coming out of the club and the closed training sessions, we may not have a lot to say.
One thing I do know, the game looks like a sellout. Seems to be more interest in this NAB Cup than the last couple. I reckon I got the last ticket...
I know we have a pre-season thread, but I reckon open training days are so rare that this deserves a thread on its own.
Delete if out of order, mods.
(Hank, here's you first chance to assert authority :))
Put your outrageous and other predictions on here. This is the put yourself on the line and be judged down the track thread. I look forward to some momentous posts.
I got my membership renewal in the mail a few minutes ago. It has gone up by $45 for 2016. The money is not an issue. I would elect to pay it. But no one at the club bothered to let me, or presumably anyone else, know about the rise or why it took place.
Way to turn people off. What...
Anyone know if there are still tickets available to this game? I just booked my flights and then went into Ticketek and can't find any. Should have done this the other way around haha.
For those of us that usually go to AO by train, usual services are running with extra carriages. What this means in practice for those on the Seaford line is that there is one less train and the two that will run are thirty minutes apart instead of ten. One leaves Seaford station at 5 pm (I'll...
FOREPLAY:
It was a cold and nipply night at AO on Saturday. The Welcome to Country in the centre of the ground was well done by the Aboriginal blokes. I hope they had some kind of grease on to keep out the cold as being mostly naked out there would have been challenging. I thought the smoking...
With all the kerfuffle about Eddie--Carltank--Rooch the goose--etc. we seem to have lost sight of the fact that we are playing a match on Saturday evening.
Does anyone give us a silly chance of a win or are we doomed to be pulverised by the Freo juggernaut?
State your reasons for either position.
If Saint Kilda why wasn't that Saint arrested?
There is no record of a Saint named Kilda. If Saint Kilda did not exist, then does the St Kilda Football Club exist? This is a question for those that still agonise over the sounds or non-sounds of trees falling in forests….
There is however...
