    Opinion Harry O'Brien faces his demons - (pls no abusing fellow posters, thx)

    Wr Wrong. When it came out, as per usual, lots of people quick to sink the slipper into him and all the 'spotfires' he's creating, divisions in the club etc. Who said anything about priorities? I have an opinion about someone involved that, up to this point hasn't really been recognised for...

    Opinion Harry O'Brien faces his demons - (pls no abusing fellow posters, thx)

    Really? So Nathan hasn't been at all involved throughout this saga and therefore a comment shouldn't be made re: supporting him and his actions during this saga?? Riiiiiiiiiiiigggggghhhhhhhttttt

    Opinion Harry O'Brien faces his demons - (pls no abusing fellow posters, thx)

    The Facebook posting guy was clearly being sarcastic, ease up all of you. If anything my already ridiculous admiration for Bucks has gone forth and multiplied now that Harry's 'issues' have come out. He is just a whipping boy. Yet he continues to persevere, take all the crap dished out by the...

    Have we addressed our needs this offseason?

    And i agree with you whole heartedly, which is why I think we needed to target a genuine inside mid at either 18, 19 or 20. And I think we maybe could have got a decent one. But I am no draft expert, and if I was then i'd be getting paid the big bucks! Just need to have faith in the plan that...

    The diminishing value of high-altitude fitness camps

    It's less about aerobic gains. It's a fact that after 2 weeks back at sea level following intense altitude training any positive effects of the altitude has decreased. What it allow the players to do from that perspective is come back with a slightly higher fitness base than they otherwise would...

    Have we addressed our needs this offseason?

    My insult in the last post was a joke.. clearly I am a collingwood supporter as well - if you can't tell sarcasm then that's your loss. There's a real insult, jokes aside! Most of the stuff that's been mentioned recently, in particular knightmare is spot on. Of course it is not one particular...

    Have we addressed our needs this offseason?

    It's the domino effect not having Ball there has which makes him a 5 goal player. Just his presence adds 2 himself, as generally he'll kick one and give off another. But at Pendles best (2011/2010), how many goals does he add? Take out Luke Ball, put pendlebury as an inside midfielder, reduce...

    Have we addressed our needs this offseason?

    Not really sure why everyone here is living in serious denial. Neither Beams, Swan, Pendlebury, Sidebottom or Blair are genuine insiders. Pendlebury is a much better player when he has time and space to utilise his elite lateral movement, awareness/ vision and pin point kicking skills. When he...

    Man up Hawks supporters

    The attitude of this thread is precisely why hawthorn has been the most successful side of the past 50 years. I haven't posted on this site for a looong time, but reading this I felt compelled too. And it is why your team will be back, up and about and ready to go come 2012. I understand...

    TAC Cup Under 19's

    Really? I reckon the clubs made a mistake not picking him as a bottom ager. Each to their own.

    And as for you, Judd is the Best young player of all time, and will cement his place as the ebst within the enxt 5-10 years.

    The Old Hird, Buckley and Voss Thread revisited

    It is official- big footy has the most idiotic supporters of all forums on the web. BUCKLEY perfected the drop punt kick. There has NEVER been a better user of the ball than BUCKLEY. There has NEVER been a player who could kick 55m stab passes that would travel 3 metres above the ground and...

    Nathan Buckley- My Hero

    It's been a while for me on this site, let alone this forum, but i felt it necessary to share my feelings for a man, who i feel is the greatest Centreman ever to play the game. I play footy, its safe to say that- I am only 18 years of age. Theres only one player i have ever modelled myself...

    Daniel Havelberg - Central Districts

    if there was a time to do it, he's timed his run pefectly. Quite a few recruiters would have been in town to watch SA vs Vic C so they may have got more than they bargained for.

    VIC vs WA

    You weren't impressed with kreuzer?!??!?!?!?!?! a guy who stands 199cm, had 16 touches kicked a goal had 23 hit outs and his side got done by 10 goals. Yet he wasnt impressive. SOme of his running ability and contested marking were outstanding today. Cemented a spot at Number 1 today IMO

    Rhys PALMER

    Was very good today. Not a terrific kick but not a bad one either. mentioned he runs a 15 + beep which is extrordinary, and judging y his footspeed id say hed be around the 2.98-3.05 sec mark for a 20m sprint, which is very swift aswell.

    1st of the phantom Drafts

    Could not disagree more with this. With the form of AFL players such as Harvey, Grant, Bell, Stanton, Harvey etc- players not exceptionally tall yet still manage to bob upevery week and are their respective teams' star performers. In my opinion, that is where the game is at. We hear all this...

    Four SA u/18 fellas banned

    Give it up bud. You cant excuse elite players, even underage performers, to act this why in such a public forum. I thought this would be an obvious yet simple point. Maybe i am wrong?

    Ricciuto at least the equal of Buckley and others

    It goes; 1.Hird 2. Buckley 3. Ricciuto 4. Voss 5. Harvey Hird, well hird is hird, do i need say more? buckley over voss and ricciuto because a) best field kick iof the modern era, b) stood next to the 'greatest' chf of all time (carey) in 97/98 and blanketed him at chb, whilst moving...

    1st of the phantom Drafts

    Ebert, Kreuzer, Cotchin, McEvoy, Myers, Grimes should comprise the top 6-15 players. From the first 5 - 35 the field is really open. Think of veszpremi as a 15-25 pick. Dont me surprised if masten drops relatively low (20-40) as a query on kicking for a player his height 179cm. I think...

    Round 15 - Geelong v Collingwood looking huge.

    i remember in 2003 when the G was being redone, a pies vs cats satday arvo fixture attracted about 55-60 k there. Not to mention 2002 when i am pretty sure 65 k flocked in at the g to watch the cats convincingly beat us. If both teams hold their form as has been suggested, we can expect...

    U 16 Championships VIC country / Metro Teams

    The AIS-AFL academy is selected by a team of 3-4 league recruiting officers along with kevin Sheehan and Alan McConnell. Selection in this squad doesn't necessarily advocate an All Australian selection or performance- but rather the players' scope as a 16/17 year old to play league football...

    Players who bleed their clubs colours

    Surprising that although zoning draft days are numbered, collingwood in particular still looks heavily around their old region (diamond valley, naturally the Northern Knights in the TAC U18's are pretty strong year in year out). As a result, because these boys have parents that usually grew...

    Adelaide Oval, Ports new home?

    you have to think financially in this instance. I think it would be a terrific move. By establishing a suburban base for the power, it could create its own identity. Not only that, it would create greater match day revenues for the club. This is just stating the obvious, but with downsizing...

    Ryan Griffen

    the way ryan griffen breaks the lines and crucifies sides with his limitless rebound is superb to watch. He is one of the young stars of the comp, and ill be one of the best players in the AFL within 3-4 years, have no doubt about that.
