Did you see us get pounded by Geelong? Where was Treloar in that game? 18 mighty disposals. De Goey gets 14 disposals playing forward. IMO that Geelong game was the straw that broke the camel's back with Treloar. He was putrid in that game. Adams throws himself in there. Admittingly he...

GWS are showing their arrogance. They were given a champion team, but couldn't win a flag. Even though players left and moved on like Adams, Treloar, etc.. they always had big draft picks coming in through all those concessions and the huge Zone they were given. Maybe I'm wrong about them...

It's been like that for years. We are already at this point. It's constantly mentioned in the media as 'a work place', and OH&S, and basically compared to working in an office. I even see the public refer to it the same way. It's gone that way with all the CTE and injury stuff. Once it went...

I think that final may have been the last straw with Treloar. He underperformed really badly. It's not a one off.. it's on going. Maybe they just had enough of the inconsistency and that embarrassment of that finals loss was enough to break the camel's back.

They are both similar in their positioning on the ground - Strong Mids, who go forward. But there is one difference... When Dusty goes forward, he just creates chaos because the defence is already tied up with Lynch, Reiwoldt, Castanga, Bolton, Lambert, etc etc... When Geelong go forward...

If Geelong wins the GF then their entire list goes up a notch. GWS could pick up Parfitt and Gryan... 2 PREMIERSHIP PLAYERS!

Forwards are very inconsistent with those point based systems. Simply because if their mids aren't getting them the ball or bad delivery, it's impossible for them to have an impact on the game. Year 2020, GWS is the 3rd last ranked team for inside 50's. They sit above only Fremantle and...

I think The Cats will take it. Dangerfield has gone to a new level. He doesn't want that record of most games without a GF appearance. He's on a Lebron James-esque mission to win at all costs.

Exactly right. Sports are now about the individual. People are beginning to follow People, and not Teams. It hasn't really happened like that in the AFL yet, but with NBA for example... I know people that just follow Lebron James.. whatever team he goes to, they support. There are other...

It's an American model they followed. If the AFL didn't know this would happen, then it's a lie. Free Agency began in the AFL around the same time Lebron James banged together a super team at the Miami Heat. The people at the AFL would have known this. The same thing is now happening in the...

Keep in mind that Brisbane played nearly ALL their games at home this year. They only lost 3 games in the H&A, but having even away games played in their home state gave them a huge advantage. It remains to be known if it was a regular season with games being played all over the country...

10-2 free kicks lol Gil pulling his favor to Anastacia for hosting the AFL season.

Its the supporters, not the club itself. I get annoyed by Richmond and West Coast supporters, and these are both two of Collingwood's rivals. But I don't hate the players or the club themselves. I actually enjoy watching Richmond and West Coast play. They have great teams and exciting...

They would keep going. I'd imagine it would just be like the NRL with the New Zealand Warriors. Even though it's different countries, unless we have some kind of dispute or war... sport and other activities will continue

That's right. He's very soft. I'd prefer keeping guys like Adams, and moving De Goey and Daicos as our future midfield. Treloar has skill but just no hardness about him. His disposals are literally grab the ball and rush kick to nobody in particular when he has some pressure on him. He is...

That doesn't matter. It's how copyright law works McDonalds just sued Hungry Jacks over the Big Jack. Do people go to Hungry Jacks thinking they are getting McDonalds? You might say I'm biased because I'm a Collingwood supporter. But I understand why Collingwood wouldn't want this. If I...

Not sure why people don't see the legal ramifications going on. AFL is a business. AFL Clubs are businesses. Collingwood is worth more money than Port. Much more. And is the most well known and one of the richest sporting clubs in Australia. They will not allow this due to a conflict of...

He just looks like a guy that woke up to put his bin out/take it in. I don't see anything odd from these photos.

Could just be a bums on seats promo move though. Cyril could just stand around and take a nice mark or kick a snap from the pocket here and there and people would still love it. He's one of those guys people just love to watch - likable character, skillful and electric. A heavyweight team...

This is terrible. Hope he does ok. He seems like a decent guy. He was put in an odd position. He was given an older list that it seems like the powers at North believed could win them a premiership, but as we know they are just not capable and now going to a rebuild. So I think the...

How much longer is he contracted for? I think 450k is worth it for someone with these physical attributes. We give him a 2 year deal. Pies have the money to burn. If we can give Chris Mayne 500 a year, surely we can accommodate someone younger and with more future potential.

A few late picks should do it. I'd like The Pies to give him a go. If they can get Mason Cox to where he is now which is essentially the straightest kick in the league. I'm sure they can do something good with Peter Wright, who has been playing footy a lot longer than Cox. End of the day...

Not sure why some are thinking this is a bad move by the Blues. He slots in as a direct replacement for Simpson. They are similar players the way I see it.. both fast, light build, and skillful players. Seems like a reasonable move from what I can see. Simpson is a big loss. He is an...

Yes, I didn't think about injury actually. Don't get me wrong either. I want him to take the next step. Maybe when JK retires he can own the forward line and grow/mature into something great.

It's on his Wikipedia - Jack Darling attracted comparisons to AFL greats Wayne Carey and Jonathan Brown.[6] By the time he was in his third season, with seven rounds remaining until the end of the season, Darling had played 62 games for the Eagles. In that time, he had kicked 112 goals, taken...

Josh Bruce 113 Games Jack Darling 212 Games Josh Bruce Goals Per Game 2019 1.6 2018 1.3 (only played 3 games) 2017 1.8 2016 1.7 2015 2.3 Jack Darling Goals Per Game 2019 2.3 2018 2.3 2017 1.9 2016 1.9 2015 1.7 I'm honestly not trolling. I just don't see the upside to Darling that you do...

Go back to his early days. They were saying he is the next Carey. So yes, he hasn't reached the heights he was predicted to reach. He's not as tall as Buddy, but he has similar attributes. And I would think Darling is better overhead than Buddy. I dont know... I suppose I keep thinking he...

however he is not a superstar... There are a lot of stars around. Josh Bruce numbers over the years are not that far behind Darling (except for this year). Jack Darling was compared to Carey at the start of his career, but he has never been able to move past a certain point. He's got to the...

I see Darling as a guy who has never really developed past a certain point. He had a lot of potential, reached a certain point and kind of stopped at that point. He's the type of guy that is a good 2nd or 3rd forward. I don't like his chances of being the number 1 forward when Kennedy...

I remember putting a wager on Collingwood to win in that game at the TAB and some old guy was behind me watching me on the machine and said I'm crazy and WC will smash them. I said to him that I have a feeling they will get up, and he laughed at me. I wonder what he thought when they won.
