    Opinion Collingwood Forever Guernsey value?

    Anyone know how much this guernsey might be worth? $10? $100? More? Less? Found it at an op shop and can't really find them online. Not looking to sell. Just interested. It's a 2014 Collingwood Forever Guernsey. From what I can tell, it has all the names of every Collingwood player on it to...

    Toast We stopped Richmond from winning 3 in a row!

    Feeling flat. Needed to find a positive.

    Gawn or Grundy?

    If you could bring one to your team next season, which one would you choose and why?

    Opinion MCC Gen Admission for ANZAC Day: what time should I arrive?

    Hi all. Usually I grab reserved seats but was too late this year. There's myself and two others with general admission seats in the MCC for Anzac day. Just wondering what time y'all recommend we arrive to ensure we get a seat? Thanks for any and all help! Nic

    Analysis Sidebottom (with fan poll)

    One of the most polarising figures in our footy club. I've read comments on this board about Sidey that range from "our second best player only behind Pendles" to "he is an absolute dud. Can't believe anyone rates him. Trade him!" It seems to me that this is largely due to his knack of...

    Toast Your Club

    Sorry to intrude, But I just wanted to say that I absolutely love watching the Doggies play. So much heart, so much ability, so much talent, so many young players. I look at the Pies at the moment; our game plan and the heart of our players and it is just such a stark contrast to the Doggies...

    Resource Who really has a source?

    Ok people. It's going to be a very long couple of months. We all rightfully get excited this time of year, but it can often be made a very difficult and frustrating to me due to what seems to be a flurry of posters who have a mysterious "source". Now, I'm all for having a mysterious source...

    Delusions of grandeur

    Airtight... Time for some truths. 1. We're one of the youngest teams in the comp. 2. Before the bye, the only "good" team we'd beaten was GWS. 3. Many people on their ladder predictors recently got over excited of the back of us beating up on the bottom 7 sides in the comp and had us...

    Opinion Mock 1st round 2015 draft

    Thoughts? Few 196cm+ guys in the first round... Should we be looking at any of them? Or would a mid be better? Will we have any first round selections? http://m.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/afl-national-draft-mock-first-round-featuring-best-under-18-talent/story-fnp04d70-1227433319073

    Opinion Pendles vs Selwood

    I almost made this a roast thread... But I am extremely biast so I thought opinion was better! The key question that needs addressing is; why is Pendles talked up by the media yet STILL seems to be rated behind Selwood and others when they compare them? Just the other night on AFL 360 they...

    Toast 80% Disposal Efficiency!

    Title says it all! Great that the boys responded to the constructive criticism this week. Our disposal needs to be better, and tonight is a good start! Now we need to start doing this against the good sides!

    News Pies keen on Aish

    The HS are likely just kicking up dust to fill their AFL quota for the week, but here is the article suggesting we are after Aish: http://m.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/collingwood-and-carlton-emerge-as-lead-contenders-to-snare-brisbane-midfielder-james-aish/story-fni5f4q3-1227306886169

    Unofficial Preview Changes vs Adelaide (thread closed, please post in Game Day thread)

    Main question is; who replaces Sidey? I'd probably just get Degoo to play a full game and bring BenKen/Freeman/Broom in. Other than that, maybe Reid (if fit...) for Oxley. I thought the Ox was good tonight though! [***Mod edit: selected team, ins and outs***] Collingwood B: Alan Toovey...

    Opinion Adams the tagger

    It's round one, so there isn't much to say. But I just wanted to open this thread so that we can reflect on the games he does end up tagging in. It's only half time tonight but I feel like he has done a good job at limiting Beams' effectiveness (not total possessions) whilst still doing some...

    Unofficial Preview The "2015 positives" thread for Fair & Balanced posters ONLY

    So... Bit of negativity around at the moment. We are on the losing end of the deal with the lions; Our club seems to be going backwards or in to a not-so-mini rebuild. We don't look to be a shadow of our 2010-11 self... Some of our club favourites are leaving or have left. Some of our...

    Universal Love Josh Thomas

    Well done stepping it up tonight after an average vfl performance last week. Needs to continue putting in these performances.

    Injury Swan out for month (was "... battling heel and wrist issues, Body all banged up")

    Title says it all. Garry Lyon has gone out and said that it is "absolute fact" that Swan is very injured. Collingwood denies it but Garry said they can deny it all they want - it's fact! Make of that what you will! I say send him to surgery, upgrade Martin and see him next year. :-)

    News Injury update from Rocket (link to video)

    Strategy Another "Ben Reid should stay forward" argument

    Tweet from AFL Prospectus/Fantasy Freako: "Ben Reid won 38% of his def 1-on-1s – rank 10th – while winning 47% of offensive 1-on-1s – ranked No.1 of the top-65 fwds #aflprospectus2014" I think a forward line of: Fasolo - Cloke - White Elliott - Reid - Lennon/Blair/Kennedy Could work well...

    Opinion Are we going to make a play for pick 1 (Tom Boyd)?

    There was a thread on this a while ago, but I wanted to start afresh. A lot of the threads on this board are currently discussing Tom Boyd, and it is tiring and confusing checking each one for updates and opinions. Can we get him or not? What do we need to do? Will GWS now just keep Tom...

    Toast Our Forward Structure

    I know it's only been 2 games, but since having Brown, Keeffe and Goldsack all in the side at once - effectively freeing up Ben Reid - we have played some very good footy. Vs Essendon: Cloke = 5 goals Reid = 3 goals 3 points Elliott = 3 goals Lynch = 1 goal TOTAL = 12 goals 3 points from...

    Opinion Discussion on Nate Brown and our backline

    Nath Brown has been very good. He is a premiership full back. He is starting to back himself and go for a run and be an attacking FB ala Scarlett (obviously not as good, but has years to get better). So he is now not just a prestigiacomo(?) replacement, he is a shut down defender who can run...

    Can someone please tell me how to get Ponsford tickets

    Hey guys. I'm confused about the Ponsford stand. I can never get tickets there (always comes up as "alloc/exhausted" on ticketek website or just unavailable when I go to the shop to get them). However, it seems to have many spare seats almost every week. I just don't get it! Some one...

    Opinion Harry O - All Australian

    Please don't abuse me for this... But I reckon Harry could push for AA short listing AT LEAST, if he continued playing like he is now. He has his confidence and run back. Beat Goodes in a marking contest at least once. Playing well. Jamie Elliott will be AA one day too as a small forward...

    Rumour Pies after Leuenberger

    Maybe take this as a grain of salt, but Hutchy and the others on Footy Classified mentioned that collingwood are after Leuey, and suggested that we may even be the front runners. Would be a great pick up if Jolly retires this year/next year, Witts plays a few more games next year and Grundy...

    Opinion Hope For the Future

    I just posted this on another thread, but thought I'd start a new thread instead. Here are my thoughts about our season campaign from here. This is a POSITIVE post. Hopefully not too idealistic. First 5 rounds of 2012: 22 point LOSS to Hawks 21 point WIN over Richmond 60 point LOSS...

    News Sam Iles delisted from GCFC

    Thought this might be thread-worthy. I was under the impression that Sam had had a couple of really good years and that he was best 22 for them? I obviously had my facts wrong! Sad that he has been delisted. Wonder if he'll field any offers from the pies in the delisted players' free...

    Beams' ball use

    It is elite now. Pendlebury still better but literally every time beams gets the ball, something happens.
