    Coach Is Clarkson a supercoach or did he just get lucky at the Hawks? Has his time come and gone?

    Like most things in life the truth is somewhere in the middle. No doubt great tactically (best I've seen) but had good team and coaches around him and lightening rarely strikes twice. Bloody hard comp now to get going in. Still early days at North. Bigger issue I reckon is the rate the comp...

    Scandal Ex player Sam Fisher charged with drug trafficking

    Yep. No way worth it Literally look what happened. And I'm pretty liberal on drugs. But you're dealing with systemic endemic corruption violent gangs and overseas influence. Not to mention a corrupt Victorian legal system What morons would take the risk?

    Scandal Ex player Sam Fisher charged with drug trafficking

    And he's business went bust due to covid shut-downs and cost of living etc. Could argue in circles. Reason the deal was worth so much was high demand

    Scandal Ex player Sam Fisher charged with drug trafficking

    If he speaks while in jail as an informer he will be killed. What sort of people end up in jail do you think? Plenty of cases that's happened before. On the other hand frankly yes. Recreational and dangerous. Buyer beware Drugs drink hell even dodgy investments are all dangerous. Adults make...

    Scandal Ex player Sam Fisher charged with drug trafficking

    He did what is a new law in Vic. Sentence indication. Where you have a pre trial conference and theoretically without admitting liability if a guilty plea was entered what would the sentence be? Nek minute he pleads guilty. Very similar to plea deals in the US. He's got 5 minutes 3.5

    Scandal Ex player Sam Fisher charged with drug trafficking

    It's not a victimless crime because of the laws. Yes they destroy lives. So do alcohol and gambling. Yet he's ex very employer gets its revenue from these sources. They're playing a game in wine country ffs Maybe users should take responsibility and or let adults make their own choices

    Expansion 20th AFL team location

    Hard to say. WA3 appears best. Capture the north Perth market locked out of the Eagles or go south and build on a growth area. Canberra is meh the safe boring option For cultural Australian reasons the Darwin/Cairns bid is the dynamic bold sexy option. The best option. A few roadblocks. Given...

    Scandal Ex player Sam Fisher charged with drug trafficking

    A thoroughly ridiculous sentence. We've got violent criminals and murderers running around and you jail a bloke who sells a product 80% of high society afl players movie stars captains of industry etc use. Meanwhile still waiting on major outcomes to the corruption of the legal system. Farcical

    Autopsy Round 2 = St Kilda 94-79 Collingwood

    Signs of improvement. A couple of bursts looked like they were gelling but still look off the pace. Loom slow. Said after Rd 1 we needed youth and dynamism as teams getting old. Look at what Wagnanen milera gulden and blokes like that are doing

    Game Day Round 2 vs. St Kilda, MCG, 7:30pm Thurs 21/03

    Finals last year in particular the GF we won clearances or broke even clogging the oppos mids enabled a transition break to our open forwards and Hill in particular capitalised and mc stay in pf before injury. Even than our defense was vulnerable on fast breaks. What sides are now doing is A not...

    Autopsy Round 1 = Collingwood 69-102 Sydney

    Spot on. Hell of a run. And a flag. Just shows A. They are tough to win B. You need to.keep regenerating and putting yourself in a good position. Agree a mini cliff is coming and the same 23 won't do it. Play some kids mix it up while the stars are there and you never know. All our good players...

    Game Day Round 2 vs. St Kilda, MCG, 7:30pm Thurs 21/03

    Apart from that quick 3 goal burst early we were smashed all game. I've lost count of the number of basic goals they totally botched or missed sitters. It was just a bad game. Need to re set up and add pace round the ball. Use some of the VFL players who tore it up last year. Need more of a...

    Mate it's not about loyalty. I'm up at 6 work a full day get to the ground than need to be up.early next morning. If I want to leave early to get an early train before the station becomes a shitfight I will. Also with an elderly relative who needs help getting to station. It's great the...

    Autopsy Round 1 = Collingwood 69-102 Sydney

    Look old and slow. Need to inject youth and dynamism and play with speed. Swans were just able to massage it forward by spreading the ground. McCrae on a hiding to nothing. Came on when it was done. How's he meant to impact. Changes needed.

    Depends which of the kids come on. By end of year I'd guess 1 KPD 1KPF Possibly ruckman to replace Cox Future top line mid/skilled ball user off half back. Assuming mcinnes steps up.and one of mcrae or mcreery push on through the middle. Hell even Kreguer may get on the park and be a second...

    Roast Zero Round, Zero Clue

    Don't care it was an away game but a how does having stand alone games benefit the northern states? What's the difference if just a few games or all 9? Could just have easily played 2 qld 2 nsw 2 sa 2 wa 1 tas if that's what they wanted. Season starts too early. Essentially 25 rounds pre final...

    List Mgmt. COLLINGWOOD Trade & FA 2024

    Very very unlikely to get a ugle hogan king type or even Holmes based on cap and draft hand. Better off looking for need like 22. Hill= added pace filled a role Mcstay= filled a role Frampton = Sure no world beater but played important cameos and a gf spot (all be it a touch lucky) Mitchell=...

    Game Day Round 1 vs. Sydney, MCG, 7:40pm Fri 15/03

    So why extend him? Hard to argue with results but McRae (coach) seems to value stability and set structure. Can be hard for the fringe players to get a look in unless for injuries and even than they are playing bit part roles. On this week's game should handle Sydney on the g who were ok...

    Player Watch Finlay Macrae

    What is he? 4th year and torn it up in the VFL. At the point now where with the development invested and form he simply needs to be picked and given a decent go at it if he is viewed in the long term plans. Otherwise should've traded him for draft capital last year.

    Review Opening Round = GWS 114-82 Collingwood

    Strange. How often do you win i50 and scoring shots and get pumped? Looked short of a gallop maybe age catching a few. Looked good early but when they got their running game going and pumped it long our backs couldn't cope. Bit like the GF where we held up their mids and forced turnovers but...
