Haven’t seen a Collingwood game without jack crisp featuring for a long time, super valuable. We were trying a fair bit out today, our young blokes definitely got exposure they need to develop and they were thrown in and all around. I thought it was positive, we play two sides in the preseason...

Bit of an initially shock but then you think about it and you can see why a little bit. At the end of the day he is contracted and a required player. If he asks for a trade, Sydney will need to compensate at the rate of a contracted and required player. They would need to offer a little overs...

Our running power all year for sides has been a problem, two fresher players in and Lipinski the sub it’s exactly what we are going to do, run and run - take it on as much as possible. Go Pies

Collingwood finished on top and Melbourne finished fourth, the commentary around the pies is strange to me, they were 2 games clear on top for a month and 3 games from 3rd so nothing could be gained you can understand they were just bidding time, Pies will be hard to beat in my opinion. Petty...

Great win. I think we are really well coached, we keep petrol tickets in the tank and will have at least one dominate qtr, we are a 4-5 goal better side at the G, im really confident

I feel we are rotating 10+ players through the midfield and playing the long game and will be the fresher

I think we made the best of the trade period that we could in the end, we overall as a team got better. We just need a decision on Poulter really now and we cant forget the signing of DeGoey that was big I thought, he did have a good look around but glad that he stayed as when it gets to games...

They could but more than likely they want to take that pick to the draft from what is being reported. Here in lies the issue, pick 25 is unders but if they offered 38 originally they must think it is more than fair now and everyone knows it needs to be a first rounder for what he’s shown and his...

I think that’s a bit harsh on Johnson he is a tougher match up currently than Henry and has more strings to his bow. I think it was more fitness level hasn’t built up than lack of effort

I could be wrong but I don’t know how the degoey contract situation is negative at the moment, seems to me both are keen to get a result and it’s being negotiated towards that outcome. Money and length of our deal seem agreed and just haggling on a few contract details under the discipline...

I will be very surprised if Henry goes out of the side he has been impressive to me when you look overall at the first 3 weeks. Developing nicely, exactly the phase we are in.

Harrison injured? Where is he at..

I recon we should take Begg, he is injured and will fit perfectly to the rehab group

This seems like Browne knows he has got him beat to me, but tried to help and asked for a spot on the board previous, which is reasonable. Korda said no which seems a bit of a power play and then went and appointed a non voting member, which was obviously the last straw and he decided he can’t...

That side yesterday is worth the majority of our salary cap, coaching staff earning top dollar and no one is wanting for anything and we go away and practice and then come out and serve up the most boring brand of footy you will ever see. Side’way’ by Side’way’

The current board will sign Buckley the likely new board will want rid of Buckley and we will be back here again same time next year :thumbsu:

We have resorted to low scoring games as we have no scoring power whatsoever and in the modern game this will always get you beaten

I’m disappointed we didn’t sack him to be honest and he got the opportunity to resign as he lied to members/supporters. A bit worried also that they tried to keep him. Interesting for me was that Graham Wright is the interim and not Hine I’m hoping I’m reading between the lines correctly here...

Do yourself a favour and watch Sam Mitchell on Box Hill Hawks videos when he is first introduced as coach and game day. Told me all I needed to know about him as a coach. Buckley has been up and down with his coaching career from controlling one minute to being hands off the next to seemingly...

His brother was very similar when he started to me, our senior players have fallen off a cliff lately which hasn’t helped many of our young players early days look much good but I think McRae will be fine. Im not judging him too harshly at the minute

The clubs hierarchy is just out of touch with the average supporter, which adds to the clubs overall problems. There is not as much anger, more like just a real acceptance of where we are at the moment because of really poor management. Buckley’s job might be on the line and the media love that...

It’s a tough question, I feel like Buckley has gone through progress then regression and then repeated in his time. We do need something fresh in the club, but we need to know who we can also get. Due diligence. It looked like we might get a president externally there for a second and give a...

lack of forwards and kicking remain our ongoing issues, easy to blame the coach for that and he takes some of the blame but they deal with what they have and it hasn’t been a recruiting focus from list management. Mihocek was drafted as a back! Buckley is trying to solve it making a lot of...

It is a shift for us with Rantall who played one good vfl game and he is straight into the side yet we have traditionally made players play 3-4 in a row to get a game. Shows me that it is an easy side to crack into at the minute and not settled on a certain player for each role, need these young...

When Murphy was drafted the message was we would have taken him at pick six, if not for Stephenson and even considered a ‘live’ trade to take him in the first round. I haven’t seen enough of him as yet, best of luck and looking forward to seeing his opportunity play out

What stood out for me over here last week was that we are just way, way too small. We need more size in the team

This is really odd considering they put in co-presidents of Korda and Murphy in place, meaning they didn’t know which way to go or at the very least who was clearly the best person for the job at the time. If he was why wouldn’t you just appoint him as the sole interim president then have the...
