I have to say that I’ve been very uncomfortable all year and particularly post grand final with no recognition of Buckleys contribution and also others like Ned Guy. I feel like Buckley set the foundation, we defend better and tackle better than any other team, yes Macrae enabled the flair but...

Anybody else fed up with all the cookies and pop up adds coming onto screen as you’re about to click on thread or post something? Surely unethical behaviour on their part to be extracting clicks in that way. Other issues you just don’t know what those clicks are leading to and whether it’s...

Does anyone know the story? Hopefully just as the article suggests, obviously hoping he’s ok.

It’s a concerning start, the injury trend continues....umpires although not the reason for the loss were certainly not helpful. I’d like to see us play on more often, and trust that your team mates are providing an option. Richmond do that very well. Playing on means you have to hit your...

Plenty of lessons to take out from the season, tough draw and injuries a concern again. Lady Luck just not on our side. All things considered not a bad season, definitely could have been better though. The persistent issue for me was connection with our forwards, our midfield under performed...

I thought we should have rested key players before the West Coast game and also before this game. Clearly a bit flat from some of our primer movers, although to their credit they pushed hard to the line. Phillips has paid with his season. Slippery deck, will be good match practice for finals if...

A lot worked well tonight, not least of all Geelong being two players down and there being no score reviews... tough in those conditions to be without your leader. In any case we still put together a nice performance. Setting the tone early appears to be a bit of trademark. BOG for me was...

That hurt, a loss and losing your best backman and key player. I think in hotly contested games like this it really shows when you don’t have a key forward. Howe - 23 possessions in 3/4’s. Rarely loses a 1v1 covers other players, attacks the ball, intercepts and disposes of it beautifully. Bad...

Clearly bored out of my brains! Buckley had the most complete team, probably narrowly ahead of Shaw. The 2012 team had a lot of holes in hindsight, from memory he coached well to get us in the top4 with all the injuries we had. didnt realise burns was in the 96 team and also that Brown played...

Is this scenario tailor made for the Pies with our injury issues? Presumably the fewer games we play the less likely we’ll overload the players and end up with a long injury list! I guess from another perspective also, it gives less time for recovery if we do lose players mid-season. We might...

I wonder what our game will look like 10 years from now, and whether it will be worth watching. There has been a strong and persistent move away from hard at it contested football, the physical aspect is slowly being legislated out of the game. The trend is concerning for me as a fan. The...

Interested in hearing what sort of talent we have in the pipeline...

I’m getting too excited, not long now. Same fixture in season and we walk away with a 100 point win. They are a rabble, it’s the disdain talking but still a valid. Thank god Murphy didn’t fall to us in the draft, what a passenger. Aside from the last quarter I felt for the large part we...

There was a lot to like today, things are tracking very well indeed. From a game plan perspective we dominated with our intercepting and rebound from half back. On ball you can tell we will dominate when it counts. Fwd our set up will deliver plenty of goals, similar to last year we have role...

Keeping myself occupied in the off-season...who are you most keen to see break into the 22, who has the greatest upside. I’m going with Nathan Murphy, was really impressed with him in the latter parts of the VFL season and wasn’t too bad on debut in the ones. If he can build some strength to...

I think this is the only way I can deal with the pain and emptiness, time to look forward... Firstly I think the coaching group were first rate and should be kept together at all costs. Footy cap restricts us from making further improvements. Mason Cox - he has started to clunk marks as we all...

Havent seen one so I thought I’d give it a crack. We played like street fighters tonight, dominated convincingly but just couldn’t get the runs on the board. Hopefully conversion is a focus this week and we improve on that for Richmond because we’ll need it. Sidebottom - BOG by a country mile...

As it stands this minute... 1) Jeremy Howe - he does all the flashy stuff, has all the tricks but what impressed me most was against Geelong when he beat Dangerfield one out on a number of occasions! Best interceptor in the game, strong 1 v1 and sets us up incredibly well going forward. 2)...

I’m known for taking on a cause, and particularly where I see injustice. I get that Federer is the most elegant and skilful player to have played the game, and for me plays the most entertaining tennis...but what I can’t understand is how he is considered Greatest Of All Time (GOAT)! To me the...

http://m.afl.com.au/news/2017-12-19/mid-greenwood-becomes-third-pie-to-go-under-the-knife Our medics have had a shocking offseason, another that should have been operated on post season. Get well Levi, an important cog...

I’m happy we’ve retained the bounce, it’s a truly unique element to our game. I wish they would stop trying to tamper with our sport. The game is more like basketball these days, everybody attacks and everybody defends, its sprint up and down the ground...not as many heavy hits and tackles. I...

What is our core business? By my reckoning it should be winning AFL premierships. What concerns me most is the fact that we haven’t got it right in the last few years, yet we are departing from our core strategy and expanding into AFLW, Netball and now NBL(rumoured)....this for me rings disaster...

Five years in the game for 35 games says it all for me, has had a horrific run with injury. Had 14 games this year for some continuity, for mine lacked poise and clarity in decision making, was panicked too often with the ball. Can’t blame him, would lack a bit of confidence given he hasn’t had...

just watching the Adelaide Geelong game, first time I've noticed a runner in the middle of the square directing traffic for a good few minutes. I know the pulled Maxy up on it...but what do you all think ?? I think it should be outlawed, let instincts prevail. If you don't have footy IQ you...

I think it's time to look at a change...I don't find Pendlebury inspiring, listening to his jock and journo show he doesn't come across as a type that the players could rally behind. He is no Selwood, Maxwell, Hodge...he is on the softer side. Don't get me wrong, our best player, but not an on...

Despite the ledger not reflecting it, I think we had more positives than negatives in the first half of the season. The loss to Melbourne will serve as a good motivator over the break. The fact that we are capable of beating any team, at home or on the road is a great sign...I think we can make...

Heard on the grapevine that there are few Hawks looking to move on at seasons end and that Puopolo is keen to come to Collingwood. Would we be interested? We clearly saw a need with the recruitment of Mayne, given that he hasn't delivered as yet to take Puopolo?

I'm hoping tomorrow's game is the kick start we need. Given some impressive performances in the 2's today, I suspect that the players in the ones that have struggled for peak form might lift this week. The pressure for spots will propel us to the next level. De goey, wells clear stand...

The stats for the first two rounds this year tell a very interesting story, I feel that my optimism hasn't been too misplaced... Disposals 5th- clearly the game plan and personnel mix is paying dividends. Spreading well, running hard and winning the ball. Marks 5th - a function of above Hit...
