    Autopsy Pies V Dogs post match analysis

    For their sake, the team's sake and our sake, it had better be a big year for all 3.

    Collingwood's performance is just History repeating

    They were actually picks 18, 19 and 20. Beams was 28 or 29 from memory.

    Autopsy Pies V Dogs post match analysis

    How did I guess you would make an extreme reaction? Actually, I do think that Hine's draft selections need to be reassessed in light of the sameness of so many of our players and their overall poor skill level. Whether this means he loses his job, is simply removed from his new additional roles...

    Autopsy Pies V Dogs post match analysis

    Just on Grundy, he doesn't seem as good in the ruck as he was in his first year. I did not see our last game, but last year he was not timing his jumps to achieve maximum height as he did earlier in his career. Now the accusation is being made against him that he lacks body strength to compete...

    Player Watch Adam Oxley (Delisted 2018)

    Shane Morwood was one of my favourite ever Collingwood players. He may not have been fast, but he was certainly elusive.

    Certified Legendary Thread The Random Non Footy Chat Thread - General Non Footy talk

    The 2 women performed quite well in the tank. The sharks all but nuzzled up to them, so sympathetic were they to the cause. More like a dolphin than shark tank tonight.

    Player Watch Adam Oxley (Delisted 2018)

    Is he soft? I have been inclined to like what I have seen of Oxley the interceptor, and unlike just about every other player in the team, he is a decent deliverer of the ball. If I want anyone to make it, Oxley ranks as a favourite contender for an AFL spot. He is cool and clever, though perhaps...

    LOL. Your optimism is out of all proportion to the reality on which your flimsy dream is built. However, as I find it hard to take exception to any of your outlandishly impossible scenarios for the team and the individuals within it, I will for just a moment indulge myself some fleeting faith in...

    You bounce your weight around these threads like a playground bully at recess or after the end of eating bell 15 mins into lunch, eager to name call and bash heads.

    Nice simile. Never thought of that one before.

    Collingwood's performance is just History repeating

    I'd have been more tempted to suggest that without Cloke we don't have a forward line. Each to their own, I guess.

    Autopsy Pies V Dogs post match analysis

    I have never claimed he is a star. He was structurally important, more reliable than White as support to Cloke and played an important role in our premiership win. As you say a B grader at best. Just get sick of reading how White is either as good or an improvement on him because he absolutely...

    Autopsy Pies V Dogs post match analysis

    I don't have much to say at this time of year. Some might unkindly suggest that I don't have much to say at anytime of the year. But while I have no intention of launching into another defence of Dawes, I get tired of reading that he has no more to offer than White. Structurally alone he has...

    What a shame that politically I always seem to have no issue with you given we are poles apart on footy. As usual you won't get to read my post so I don't even know why I am doing it.

    The Shark Tank is on tonight, isn't it? I like that show. I also just got out of bed an hour ago after 13 hours sleep following an overnight flight. Did manage to hear most of the Collingwood game. Welcome home!

    Perhaps all the clubs that let him slide to our pick knew something about him that we did not.

    Which we will probably blow on another strereotypical inside mid type without pace or x-factor who is unable to kick a football with any poise, distance or accuracy.

    Game Day NAB Challenge - Collingwood vs Dogs (thread closed)

    Goldsack is one player who cops more thin his fair share of praise on this board. His first year was his best and almost only good year. He is just making up the numbers like several other players on our list.

    Greenwood seems likely to be our first major casualty going on the commentator's description.

    None really. Like many others I am just treading water until a clearer picture of our true worth emerges.

    Preview NAB 3 Magpies v Bulldogs (thread closed, pls move discussion to game day thread)

    Ben Johnson is a stronger player than Sinclair, more dynamic and a better kick, especially for goal. Dwyer will be delisted because his age and form suggest we have seen the best of him in his first year. Toovey needs to recapture his premiership form, and in a defence replete with players...

    You do me more than justice Magpie Girl. I wish I was that good a person. On a lighter note, the bird from my photo had two babies overnight. When I attempted to photograph it from close range feeding it's chicks, the flash scared it off. I have not dared approach it since it returned to the...

    I visited my friend in prison today. As I expected, the security camera was not functioning so there is no evidence of my theft. However, at my friend's urging, I made another attempt to seek medical assistance for him. I stood at the front gate waiting for someone in authority to speak with me...

    The credit card was with the passport and money. The debit card in Australia was used to pay for my accommodation here from Australia. I tried to transfer money from my NAB account to my friend's account here but was stalled when it came to the code - my mobile phone is here with me with a Thai...

    I have learned one very important lesson. Travellers' cheques are not what they were. American Express cannot refund cheques in Thailand because they have no office here. The woman who is investigating (she calls it verifying) me is in India and the refund people are in Quezon City in the...

    Always enjoy the highly literate and intelligent nature of your posts rekjavik despite finding your username almost unpronounceable and unspellable. Hope you make a full recovery and your sharp wit and tongue are once again a highlight of this board. It is a lesser place without your presence. I...

    I agree with you on this one. And I have certainly seen Thomas play better games.
