Harrison won me over. He belongs. Watch the last Q again, if you must. A draw feels hollow for supporters of both sides but the result fairly reflected the state of the game. Both sides could have won but neither staked a claim when it mattered. I suspect Collingwood's post-game review will...

Why use soy as an insult when one can employ pineapple for that purpose?

I love the faith you have in the kid FJ. :thumbsu:

Yep, we were harsh on him. Shoulders are bast*rds to fix and 2 in a row would set anyone back. The rehab is a grind. When I saw Pat mark overhead on Saturday I knew that he had regained confidence in his body. This was a season-defining performance. Onwards and upwards for him.

Will not argue because your view is sensible and as Cousin of Daicos alluded it's not just N. Daicos who ploughed his way into the 22, it was IQ, Ginni, etc. Timing is important though. Would J. Daicos as you remember him in his first couple of years at the club got a game in the current side...

To respond to your first "non-ridiculous" post, yes in my opinion the Blues are legit contenders and they're playing good football. I would qualify this with the disclaimer that this is not the business end of the season. Round 8 will be a great game.

Fair appraisal. Do you think Allan might have had more opportunities if he was drafted by another club? I haven't seen much of the kid but it would be tough to break into a premiership side which bats so deep in his ideal position. Perhaps we've also been spoiled by how easily N. Daicos...

Would bring Jack Silvagni into Collingwood any day of the week. Great kid who would take a bullet for his teammates. His mum is a good Collingwood person. Taking him away from the dark side would be correcting a massive injustice. :)

Was going to respond to the above then you follow up with the below. Of course, Owies over Bobby Hill any day of the week. 🤦‍♂️

My best mate supports Carlton. To this day, the a*hole regularly sends me Wayne Harmes gifs. Should the unspeakable occur in round 8, life will become unbearable.

Port is a good side, physically imposing with some guns on their list. They've played exceptional footy in Adelaide and their first quarter yesterday was strong. It would be unfair to label them overrated in the same way it would have been inaccurate to assert that the Pies are done after their...

My point is that it is premature to go with "flag contender" this early regardless of where Carlton may sit on the ladder. By round 15 we might see some of the Blues' finest supporters calling for Vossie's head (and microwaving their memberships).

Very cool round 6 story. At the same stage of last year's season, St Kilda was first. Carlton are playing good footy and I think they're finally the real deal, but it's a long season.

You don't have to justify your views to anyone mate but when other posters call you a "Negative Nelly", you should embrace it. Roll with it, just be you. Today's game had the Pies showing that they are still able to execute to a very high standard. It was a statement game. They can still...

This is a compelling farewell. Beautiful way to share the story. Despite his already impressive achievements Murph has so much more ahead of him. Wish him health, happiness, and inspiration.

The Doggies have a list stacked with talented players but they're not a good side. Bevo is a dead man walking.

Goals are an important part of Cox's contribution to the side; probably the most critical and what gave the side an advantage. If they're down I'd argue that his other stats are just numbers. I'm a fan of the big man but his 2024 campaign has been underwhelming so far.

Like a proper Frankston man, you left school at the age of 15... but only to return. You did Prahran proud. #fakefrankstonian #silverspoonmofo

I know the kick you refer to but that would be basing your assessment of Jordy's contribution on 1 play. :) It didn't all gel for him but against Hawthorn JDG was the best Collingwood player on the ground. He was full of endeavour and has been unfairly criticised in this instance.

The Hawks were strong in the last quarter and kicked 4.1. We were lazy initially and duly kicked 0.5. Did well to hang in there. A couple of those misses in the last would have been goals most weeks. Take the win and move on.

It takes a guy with supreme footy smarts to be able to make these calls 4 rounds in. We're lucky to have you because now we all know how to think about this. :thumbsu:

I refuse to click that article but I can guess that it will have very little content that is positive and even less about the Dee's actual footy form on the field. If we stop rewarding Caro's and Robbo's tripe their employers will eventually put them out to pasture.

Treaties aside, it's hard to procure weapons-grade uranium (isotope U-235 isn't sold at Coles :( ).

You can tease me about my calves and ridicule my refined taste in food but surely you understand that any talk of the ATO crosses a line. Love you, Cheval, but please don't be such a cruel a*hole.

And a good bloke, by several accounts. Still very invested in footy.

The VFL is also a platform for players to bridge the gap, Savvy. Preseason is the only opportunity the ones trying out for a spot might get (eg Sullivan) and for players like HH, Macrae, or Carmichael the chance to pit themselves against the beasts (JDG, Naicos, etc). Yes, both VFL and...

That's harsh. Preseason training is the only chance many of the players will get to shine and a few are fighting to earn a spot (or remain) on the list. I'm not convinced about Macrae but we shouldn't downplay his hard work to push for a senior spot during the preseason. He might not secure...
