Player Watch Sid Draper
Yep. We need to lower expectations given what he’s produced this year unless there is an injury seriously hampering his output. Not sure he’d be drafted on current form. -
Review R8: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Port Adelaide
Three metres the first time and 13m the second - so technically, that is more than 15m. More seriously, some of those kicking out are regularly running 25m minimum before getting rid of it -
List Mgmt. List Management Thread
You're right Fagan did say that this week. I can't think of any reason why he would if it wasn't true. Brisbane didn't have to play Curtin this week because the cupboard was bare, as you initially stated. They had other options but chose him as their best. And as for us choosing Welsh in a... -

Fagan said that before Round Zero. Cody wasn't a desperate selection. -

List Mgmt. List Management Thread
Gallop could have gone forward and they had two ruckmen that could have interchanged forward. Zakostelsky has had three games this year and could pinch hit forward and back and Will McLachlan played six games as a forward last year (three as the sub) and is 21. But, Curtin wasn't a break glass... -
Player Watch Sid Draper
Taylor is chronically under valued outside of the club. He's played 21 of our last 28 games. He does things few others can and makes excellent decisions. The way he won the ball to start the chain for the Milera goal (that wasn't) was exceptional. You'd love hm to have more possessions but he's... -

I was interested to see Brisbane giving a debut to Cody Curtin, Dan's 18-year-old brother. There was talk we were interested and maybe we would have taken him over Ludowyke at Pick 50 ,but even if we had I don't think he'd have been filling in for FOG by Round 8. Brisbane seem to debut their... -
Review R8: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Port Adelaide
Just watched the replay and our diabolical skills kept Port in it. It's been the same all year. How Berry, with his fumbly, bull-in-a-china-shop football, won the medal over the class of Milera is obscene. Other observations: We need another elite distributor out of the back half (Keane can't... -
Have we built a premiership list? Ok, when?
Parker is 34 this year and his days of playing midfield are coming to an end. Ironically, he was the player we asked the Swans about in the swap for Tippett. They knew what they had and offered Jesse White and Pick 22. We took a 'principled stand' and got nothing but a bunch of damaging draft... -
Review R7: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Brisbane Lions
Good. The skipper. What a demonstration of leadership. He has been phenomenal since being drafted. His first 100 games will be up there with Hart, McLeod, Danger, Godra and Roo as the best first 100 games from anyone from this club. His leadership is one area we have right but there have to be... -
Review R7: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Brisbane Lions
We should regard this game as a mulligan. We've players banged up and under duress and a few troops out from our best team. Next week is make or break though. Season defining and Port should start favourite on current form. Soligo, ANB and Curtin in will help but we have to win and I think we will. -

Player Watch Brayden Cook
In 2020, we moved up to pick 25, the spot before St Kilda, because we were aware they were keen to draft Cook. We gave Collingwood Pick 27 and a future 3rd for Pick 25. -
Player Watch Brayden Cook
The best Cook of four to play for the Adelaide Crows and has now played more games than Myke, Sudjai and Tim combined. Leaping ahead, but, injuries permitting, he could be the best Cook ever to play AFL, after Troy who played 43 games for Sydney and 150 for Fremantle -
Player Watch Charlie Edwards
Reminded me of games against Geelong where we repeatedly kick it to Stewart. We need to be far more considered with forward 50 entries if we're to become a Premiership contender -
Review R6: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. St Kilda
I disagree. We came top last year after 23 rounds, although with a far better draw than this year. We've lost 3 close games to good opponents. Out of out best team are: Dawson Curtin Keane Soligo Ah Chee Fogarty Hinge And Draper, if he's back to full fitness We'll make Top 6 with even luck... -
Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"
Strange summation of Oliver. He played 86 percent game time and was probably BOG for GWS with 26 possessions, 13 clearances and a goal. His form has been B+ at least this season -
Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"
I can agree there needs to be no continued public scrutiny of Hollands but Carlton need to be transparent about what happened from their side. This was a serious lapse in judgement from all areas of the club. Holland's took personal leave in March and had a panic attack last year during a game... -
Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14 "Put your Foot in it"
Terrible decision from Carlton to leave him on the field. What the hell happened at half-time? Didn't someone say Elijah's not right? Even EH was saying he wasn't right to Collingwood players. Watching on TV it was apparent very early on that he was spectating and not engaged in the game at a... -
Player Watch Jordan Dawson - 💔
Much love to Jordan and his family. Around one in four people will be very close to someone who dies by suicide, but it affects everyone within the wider community. The raw numbers say that the rate of suicide has decreased from an all time high in the 1960s but hasn't reduced in the last 20... -
Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language
In my experience, there is no instance where the word of a person in authority can ever be taken over someone who isn't in authority - without comprehensive and irrefutable evidence. The opportunity and temptation to abuse is heightened greatly by those in authority over those who are not.- Words: 48

Review R5: The GB&U vs Carlton: ARC de Triomphe
McAndrew is exposing how much we have been hampering ourselves playing ROB year in, year out. His severe limitations haven't improved over seven seasons. This is not a knock on ROB, it's a slap on those who have not found a solution before now. I do worry if McAndrew, who has been playing under... -
Review R5: The GB&U vs Carlton: ARC de Triomphe
Mainly bad...despite the win. We are well off the pace. Smashed at stoppages again, How many times did we turn it over? Laird, Michalanney and Berry were major villains. Players well below standard this season include, Laird, Soligo, Michalanney, Keays, Cumming Rankine and Dawson. We are sore... -
Opinion Non-Crows AFL 13: Cyclone Season
Collingwood looking at a decade of mediocrity. Zero depth. Sidebottom, Pendles and Howe finished this year. De Goey, Lipinski, Crisp and Elliot a shadow of their best. Quaynor is a liability. Schultz, Perryman and Houston under-performing recruits. Membrey & McStay C- players in the forward line -

Good, Bad and the midfield
Would anyone else swap Rachele for Merrett? For me Rach isn't ever going to be a gun-midfielder. He's a nice to have. Merrett is a star, probably has five more years after this. I can see why Essendon wouldn't be happy trading hm to arch-rival Hawthorn. Similar to Petracca, I think Merrett would... -
Review R2: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly vs. Western Bulldogs
We're not far off it. That would have been a great game to pinch and will be telling by season's end but starting 1-1 would have been taken by most of us. We miss those who are injured and our depth is questionable but we're finally in the mix and should be year in, year out for a while -
Preview R2: Changes vs. Western Bulldogs
It's clear, despite a recent three year contract that we've moved on from BOB for McAndrew. If Mac is injured it will have to be BOB back in. TT as a ruck rover, but never as a ruck, seems to be the decision. So we need someone to play ruck and give another option around 30 percent of game time...
