We fought all year with injury and went in to a Grand final against a team with a impressive and Big forward line The defence was manful but just overwhelmed
Its time to stop stocking up on Midfielders/forwards and bolster that backline I mean how much better would that 6 looked with lynden...
Or the fight and grit of the Bulldogs
But what causes a team to become a shadow of its former self I mean living in WA I am bombarded by the Eagles and dockers The Eagles have the same squad basically that was swarming all over opposition a season ago now a shadow of that side
And does our...
It looks like the move of Howe to the back line may be a longer term success And I would like to see him settled in one position And seeing as Moore is a marking player Howe would be the likely swap
We need a settled back six
Besides Quality big men up forward are like hens teeth It may take...
It would be very interesting to see what a Dew or Ratten could do with our list
Is it really good enough or has our recruiting and trading been below par ?
Silly thing is They admit themselves it was recreational drugs
But it was cut using a steroid or some such
It's getting so you cant even trust your local drug dealer anymore
So if they were nabbed for cocaine only it would have been fine the club would not have even been told Is that...
I too was happy Not with the result obviously but we seem to have developed some grit or is it character?
And I was most impressed with Crocker's ability to take contested marks
And do we have time frames on how long the four will be out of action I guess Toovey will be the first available...
Apologies to mattys123

And others Glad you were so kind to a well intentioned fellow Collingwood believer :)
Here's to a great game a a result that try has us in finals contention
Oh my second team is the Mighty Ducks in the WAFL
Third The Chapman Valley Royals in the GNFL...
Its surprising all the football intelligentsia say the Bulldogs are everyone's second team
I am sorry to disillusion the Bruce MacAvaney's of this world BUT
There is only Collingwood we dont have second sides we are true blue Lets prove it this afternoon
There is no place for vilification (Unless your Irish Who remembers Jimmy Stynes taking his case to the board And the whole episode treated as a joke ?)
But neither is there a place to destroy an honest mans reputation as happened to Lee Adamson
So my thoughts will always land on the side...
To steady after Geelong got to within 8 Thats wgat Im proudest of
And also there was a lot of negativity over Levi But if his role was to quell Selwood then Job well done
I agree Geelong really upped the pressure
But the pies of earlier rounds would have wilted totally
Stand up to em boys And run Give our forwards some space
Here's to a win obviously
But I will be happy if I see intent for 4 quarters and we are given a glimpse that the Buckley game plan works against true quality opposition
We saw them fight above their weight for two quarters here in the West against the Flat track bullies
Make us believe you...
Agreed not all players are able to make it at AFL level
Dale Baynes returned to our local league the GNFL after one game for the Pies Against this weeks opponent Geelong And lost most of his match payment due to a melee He Captain Coached Towns and had nothing but great things to say about his...
Yep good to see we can come together for a few moments Its is a game after all
Best game in the world and best club of any sport but still a game
I will definitely be thinking of him when the moment comes
All the best to ALL the people with this god awful disease
Any updates on Mason cox's hand injury ?
Knowing your Melbourne media I do wonder if they will press for Moore to be suspended for stomping He being a Collingwood player it would not surprise me
I will always hold a place in my heart for Malthouse as I do Leigh Matthews they are premiership coaches of our great side
But he is (to me ) a man of double standards he spoke of how his family was bitter and disappointed on how he left Collingwood
But he broke his contract on leaving us But...
Try living in WA If lucky I get down to Perth twice a year to see my beloved Pies and have been taking the Grandkids but they get dazzled by seas of Purple or Blue and Gold and just a few pockets of us True believers in Black & White
Been a while since they've heard Good ol Collingwood forever...
