    Roast An open letter to the brave hero who frightened my wife

    It's been a while since I've posted here. Life has moved on and I find myself with too many balls in the air to bother. But I feel compelled to write today about what happened after the game on Monday. My wife and I have been attending games most weeks. She isn't a Collingwood supporter, but...

    Autopsy If (an alternate version of history)

    I got thinking about this reading a variety of posts about our alleged poor finals record. I'm a Collingwood tragic. I love the club in all it's flawed glory. I make no apologies. But I often think about what would have happened if..... If Tuddy had of missed McKenna in the 1970 GF, there...

    Analysis Progress is Never Linear

    I've been moved to write this post by the constant sky is falling narrative from some posters compared to the Pollyanna everything is roses commentary from others. I like to think of myself as a realist and honestly believe that where the club sits right now s a proper reflection of its...

    Roast Club & afL websites

    I'm fed up to the back teeth with this crap. From Saturday evening the videos on AFL website and Collingwood website refuse to load. These are the only sites on the web that I have this trouble with. I've updated browsers, cleared caches, updated Java and done everything but flung the laptop...

    Opinion Whipping Boys Can Bite Back

    I haven't been very active on this board for 6 months or so. But I do read a lot. Some posters make me laugh, some make me feel good, some actually improve my knowledge of the club and or players and others just make me shake my head in frustration more than anything else. Everyone is entitled...

    Analysis Dear Ed...it's come to this

    G'day Ed. To be honest I never thought it would come to this. We're in a fine mess. The football club(that's the men's senior 18 - our raison detre, if you like) is puddling around in mediocrity. It needs to be fixed. I know you say you have it all in hand. You're running a review or two...

    Autopsy The dead weight of history

    Last night I had a revelation...and it wasn't that pleasant. I actually WANT Hawthorn to win this year. I'm sick and tired of supporters clinging to the machine's fourpeat performance like its the last real record that we hold. It happened two lifetimes ago in a suburban competition which had...

    Analysis Geelong season 2006 - a history lesson

    In 2006 Geelong finished 10th the highlight from my personal point of view was a 100 point flogging in Round 8 from Collingwood 22.14.146 to 6.8.44 The club seemed to have plenty of talent and boasted the following names in its list Ablett, Bartel, Ottens, Ling, Chapman, Steve Johnson, Enright...

    Opinion Rene Kink - what happened?

    I've been doing some research on an article I might write about the premierships that got away. One season that still grates on me is 1973 when we lost from (another) unloseable position this time in a prelim final against Richmond. I was there that day and I think I was scarred for life. For...

    Luck of the draw

    Last year two teams performed better than what they were by virtue of their soft draw (the teams that they played twice). They were Richmond and North Melbourne. It's really too early to tell what's going to be a soft draw until the season is well under way, but at first glance on exposed form...
