We take the micky all the time but has anyone actually collated a list in the one place of all the things that have happened since Essendon last won a final? Super keen to hear what has transpired across both your personal life, and the actual world itself in the last 19-20 years since Essendon...

Is it a conspiracy though? I initially posted this in the whole Hamas v Israel thread, but it’s off topic there. Could it possibly explain the aggression being shown by Israel?

Collingwood’s top 2 rated players in the Grand Final essentially cost them 2 third rounders (Mitchell) and a second rounder (Hill). Throw in a SSP (Markov) in February and a FA (McStay) who helped get them there. You’ve got some key ingredients that made a premiership recipe - all for a couple...

Who is your tip for the 2023 Norm Smith medalist and why? Disclaimer: Could only add 25 possible options.

I’m sure there’s plenty of this in the past, but feels like there is a lot of ‘romance’ this finals series with players and coaches facing their old clubs throughout. - Kingsley, a former premiership player, coached against his old side tonight for a Prelim spot. - Voss, a former premiership...

Josh and Nick Daicos become just the third set of brothers in history to make the same All Australian side and just the second set to do it on the same side. Chad and Kane Cornes did it in 2007 (?) in the same team and the Madden brothers made the same AA team in the late 80s whilst playing for...

With one round to go until we get into the real stuff. Who do you think will go all the way in September? Looking at the season as a whole, Collingwood stands out despite their recent form being less than favourable. You’ve got the Lions continuing to win, and notching a win against...

This is just as much a shambles as the Brownlow medal. People place a higher value on this than the Brownlow just because umpires give votes to midfielders, yet I regularly see coaches giving votes to their own players after a loss, clearly being sour about the game’s results. Outside the...

The general consensus is clubs have figured out Collingwood’s game style, playing fire with fire. Don’t take foot off pedal and keep attacking. Is this just a blip in the road, or have Collingwood been figured out? This spells the end of this current kamikaze style attack that has bamboozled...

Who will get the double chance and who will be getting them at home? How do you see it changing over the next 4 weeks? With Port and Lions losing, feels as though Collingwood have all but cemented 1st spot. Do you have Port locking in their home finals or dropping down? Dees probably have...

Now the form side of the competition with 5 wins on the trot. Have arguably the biggest X factor player in the competition. Have beaten Adelaide at AO and Melbourne in those last 5 weeks. Had only lost by less than 2 kicks to Richmond, Geelong and St Kilda in the previous 3 weeks. Sitting...

Is Maynard’s post game words the first of many this week in the lead up to a huge 1st v 2nd clash? “We love every challenge that comes our way, and we are sitting on top for a reason. Port better bring their A game because we are coming over there, and we are going to give it our best.” A few...

I’ve now noticed it more than a couple of times this year with Darcy Moore where the umpires call him back and make him stand the mark instead of another player. Is there a rule where if you give up a mark, you’re not allowed to run back to the goal line straight away? I’ve found it odd how...

As everyone in Australia knows, utilities are now almost becoming a commodity rather than a necessity as cost of living increases. So I thought we should take a look at some of the best utilities we’ve had grace the football field in the last 25 years. The two that come to mind are Adam Goodes...

This one is for those loyal Lions fans who still think young Nick doesn’t quite do it as well in congestion. Now that he is spending abit more time in the middle, we’re starting to see the season’s averages skew in Nick’s favour. Instead of the regular little squabbles in random threads, it’d...

I think it’s time we sit back and pay respect to Collingwood’s ability to win at the MCG. Our record is 17 wins and 1 loss from our last 18 there. With that one loss coming in a game where the umpiring was less than dubious. It’s almost starting to feel like we’re unbeatable there, and that...

Over the years we’ve seen a lot of eggs on faces, and these seem to capture the attention of the media and the fans - good ol’ tall poppy. Well I’m here for the complete opposite. I wanna know what are some of the best mad dog calls in history. I’ll kick it off with two that come to mind...

Hi gang, apologies as I don’t know where to go or who to ask, but how do I get a list of suspensions handed out? For example if I want to check Taylor Adams’ career suspensions, is there a website that would give that to me? At the moment the best I can do is google by year and searching up...

Collingwood apologise for booing of Swans great Franklin — The Age This is disappointing to see. Our great game is a game. Spectators go there to enjoy a sport and be a part of the theatrics of the game. Booing is a part of the theatrics of the game. Anyone booing an AFL player because of...

Across the whole competition I feel as though majority of sides are having a wretched run with injuries to personnel with players going down left, right and centre. On the weekend alone off the top of my head, Touk Miller ended up in crutches, Adam Kennedy has done an ACL, Sam Taylor has a 10...

Wanted to see who the general consensus is for on here amongst the one-eyed faithful.

Does he get a third chance? Adelaide supporters - is he better than Frampton?

Mainly here so we can enjoy the LOLs afterwards at the end of 2023, but also an interesting discussion point. I’m in genuine two minds and can’t call it, but who do you see finishing higher in 2023? Who is positioned better from a list/team perspective? Let the games begin… Mod Note: This is...

Congratulations to Fly McRae on winning the 2022 AFLCA COTY award. What are people’s thoughts on this? Is he a deserving winner? Was there someone else more deserving? Taking a look at all the previous winners, are there any that retrospectively should’ve gone to another coach in hindsight...

Correct me if I’m wrong, but my projections tell me if we win the remaining two games, we’ll finish second, and play a home QF (probably against Sydney). More realistic scenario is we win 1 where we’ll finish 4th and play the Cats in a QF at the ‘G, and quite possibly get the Dees in the Prelim...

I know you’re cringing but hear me out. On the eve of his 150th game, ‘Billy’ has had one of those careers where he came out the blocks looking like the next big thing for Collingwood post the premiership. He broke into the side Round 9 2012, he played 72 of 78 games through to the end of the...

Collingwood mourning the death of club great Billy Picken Dad of Doggies premiership player Liam, and Collingwood great Billy Picken sadly passed away. Was also the uncle of Jonathan Brown. Two time Collingwood B&F winner and Collingwood team of the century on the HBF. Too young at 66.

Ebbs and flows throughout the years, and Collingwood has lost their fair share of close games in yesteryears, but Richmond and Collingwood this year are complete opposites with close finishes. After tonight, Richmond has now had 5 winnable games in their last 8 where they’ve gone 4 losses by 1...
