Keep it imo. Works way better now as an ironic username and a bit of a nod to all the doubters (yourself included ;)) particularly with your new display pic.

He is a great mark, but his field kicking and decision making are both atrocious. Would really need to work on those aspects of his game to be part of the back line playing the system Scott wants to play. Not sure he has it in him, quite frankly, and I really want Sav to succeed here.

Imagine going into a final and dropping your best ruckman just to play your full back there instead.

I’m so nervous. Someone hold me.

The other thing you have to consider is that in 2011 Collingwood had arguably their best side ever, and yet, they were thoroughly outplayed and more importantly out-coached THREE TIMES, including the most important game of the year. It was no fluke. This is without considering Geelong had been...

Really loving his work; he's fast becoming a favourite of mine, so I hope he can keep it up. I was particularly impressed with how well he handled the pressure and him being quite clean in the contest last week.

That was class by O'Connor

Our foot skills are atrocious, we have very few good decision makers in the team, and our intensity is lacking, however, what is most annoying about this team is that Chris Scott has bred contested football out of them. I think Chris is a good coach and tactician, and will get this group to...

Honestly, as sad as it is, I feel we won't see much more of Harry from here on unless it is purely tactical, in response to the opposition having multiple tall and strong forwards; I think they want to set this defensive group up for the future. However, it would be good to have Harry fit for...

Looks like someone has mistaken me for a North supporter :oops:

I don't blame you. :D The umpiring, in general, was truly eye-opening.

tbh I think they got that right. You can't just put it on the ground with one hand when you have been tackled.

This was a great win - I think that we hit the balance perfectly between being solid defensively and working hard on the rebound with enough urgency and intelligent ball use going forward. This was something I was very critical of a few weeks ago, but they have really turned it around. Even...

The problem is, while in theory it could be helpful, any rules that restrict the options a player has is detrimental to the game because both teams know exactly what the person with the ball is going to do, not to mention that removing decision making will reduce the "skill cap" of the game.

The way the "modern game" is played and the rubbish we have been serving up for the last month or so are two different things. Half the modern game is about players working hard to put opponents under extreme pressure, then restricting them from doing anything effective with the ball in order to...

This looked really bad. Hopefully it was a clean break and he can get back for the start of next year; I think that his mindset is one that will help him in his rehabilitation. That said, players usually don't come back the same after these types of injuries.

It might just be me, but I feel as though we have been kicking it out on the full a lot more this season. We only kick when we want to put the ball up the boundary line, and we aren’t skillful enough to actually do this well. Through the middle, overuse of handball, resulting in needlessly...

I hate watching soft teams and that is unfortunately what we have become.

It’s the last quarter of Geelong vs Sydney, but it’s the whole game.

Honestly don’t know what to make of this game. Geelong is objectively a better team at the moment, obviously, and it should be a victory by a healthy margin. Perhaps it’s just the cats recent history of not showing up in the first quarter some weeks that makes me slightly worried - anything is...

For all the doom and gloom that I have seen here every other week, I find it hard not to get excited by some of our younger/inexperienced players. It is still early for many of them, sure, but I have a feeling that all these games they are getting now will be a boon for the club in the future...

BOY DO I LOVE TOM STEWART.

Great news for the club and all involved! I am looking forward to their first match, even if it is some time away still.

Expectation is everything. I was too young to understand or remember anything before '95. Around the 2000s I normally just hoped we might get a win. Since 2012 I go into games hoping we don't lose, which is kind of negative. I think former was a worse period for the club, but the latter has been...

Happened directly in front of where I was sitting. He just threw himself at the ball. Wasn't a bump; would be a travesty if he gets suspended.

If this thread is anything to go by...we should be getting rid of 2/3rds of the team...i get that it's disappointing. It is for all of us; but most of this playing group are not the problem. Our best is good enough, but tonight we were outcoached from the start, allowing them to chip the ball...

Biggest problem is with the game plan tbh, not the players. The instruction to not man up until they get within a kick of pumping it into the 50 is bizarre. I think we have a good playing group...we have shown that, but this is a tactical failure. The difference when we don't have the ball...
