If a good enough kid is available why wouldn’t we? Cox probably only has a couple more years, Brodes is 25 (26?), & they don’t seem to want to play Max (Best on with Rantall in VFL win). It generally takes a few seasons to bring a ruckman up to snuff, and the good ones are few & far between. If...

He was playing on Mason Cox, in the ruck I’d guess. Played well. That’s about it

I think that’s kinda the point… 🤪 Have a go anyway!

For me there's 2 great photos which say SO much about our game: 1:Nicky W pointing to his skin 2:The one of the great Cazaly being "Up there" taking the truly iconic one hander. (someone must have it?) 3: A shot of me, age 12, shaking hands with the great hero of my childhood, Peter McKenna...

When can Wilson play for us? I read an article which implied he could play tomorrow if needed. Is that right? There IS a type of player we're lacking, & its a big strong mid/back/forward/ruck, (but mostly mid) who can help lift our clearances. When we're winning the clearances (esp centre...

Haha, thanks Eagles, much appreciated. But I did utensil up, I wrote this Sat. lunchtime, but only just realised I hadn't posted the bugger til just now! Thank god you were around! :) Hope it works, I need the points, just looked & noticed my projected 2350 had changed to 2180! Someones getting...

So... sorry, confused myself again. Had Treloar as V, C is on Setterfield who is onfield in the forward line but obviously not playing (suspension) Does this mean once Carlton plays, & Setters doesn't, the Treloar score is doubled? Or have I cocked it up again.

Am I not doing that right now? Or do you have a scoop? Whichever, the answer is yes. I haven't missed a game since the 70's. I schedule O/S trips around the season.

Im mystified as to why Willsy cant get a run. Hopefully we get to see him today as the Coll. Ess. Magoos game is being shown on the VFL App & website RIGHT NOW!! Bucks don't like him for whatever reason, but he could be a star. If he don't get a game soon we'll lose him.

Thought Langers played a blinder today. A very underrated player, and one of the best marks in the game. We have a couple of reasonable marks... That Howe bloke isn't bad, Langers, Elliot, Moore, Brodes, Checkers, WHE Even Coxy is becoming rather good... We don't just have the best list, the...

Easy one. Pencil Apples for Aish if necessary. No other decisions to be made til the Magoos play tomorrow. Flynn is certainly the guy standing up in the twos, but be wary about replacing a guy off 7 days with one off 6. And a guy coming off a great win with one off a bad loss (maybe). Guys...

I don't have ferret, so if I put the 'V' on Gawny tonight & the 'C' on Cripper, is that all I hafta worry about tonight?

Midfielders & the Midfield are vital, in fact only one thing is more important: Chikos, Snags, Sausage rolls, Goals. Get 4 of these each quarter, you win most games, finish top 4. DeGoey is GOOD at getting these, and good at setting them up. But so are Stevo, Checkers, & Billy. It was a...

Brilliant mate! Thanks for going to that much trouble Pups, very much appreciate it! I have Grundy, & a def. not playing benchwarmer, so I will do exactly that, it was the emergency bit I'd forgotten, so you saved my bacon! I owe u a drink my friend! Thanks again! & to you too Bandicoot, ta mate!

He won't get the Brownlow he so richly deserves, simply because there's far too much talent in the side. My money would been someone like Cripps, best player in an ordinary side. Like Judd. It really is a DUMB system! Which is why people are migrating to the player voted MVP as the NEW Charlie...

So (pease excuse the ignorance) If I have danger as VC, Treloar as C, what else do I need do? (I had Coniglio as C in R2 so I need help!) Do I need to have my Non Starter onfield b4 the Geel game?

This has got to be mere speculation as we dont know the salaries & therefore the space we have in the cap. It also depends on whether we plan to go after Lynch, and/or May. We should be getting Will Kelly & Quaynor as F/S & Academy picks. Both could be huge players, with huge raps. We also have...

How you make dem cool gifs DT? I can make GIFs, but it'd take me ages.

Ha! I'm impervious to such things, for I was at... yep that’s right... The 84 Prelim!! In the Sir Ken Luke stand if u don't mind. Nothing can touch me after that.

Thanks mate! Been going to make one of my own! U saved me a lot of kerfuffle.

So I'm guessing not that many changes then? Why the hell are Faz, Daics & Wills being wasted in the Magoos? I know there's no one to drop, so play 25 guys! They won't notice. Anyway how did Wells Wills & Daics go?

OH Crap! For some reason I thought this was being played Wednesday. Dunno why, but I missed the damn Unicorn!! A live Collingwood VFL game on telly! Unbelievable! Does anyone know where might be a replay? PLEEEAASE! Youtube has a 1 minute recap... very depressing! Ive already watched the...

Maybe true, but sides who aren't there after the first 6 seldom make a big impression. Off the top of my head I think we did it in 2003. Can't think of one since. Sure if anyone can do it it's our guys, & no one's standing out as certainties so far, but injuries aren't our friend & we do have...

No prob, in fact I'll give u the DIY version. It's predicated on the oft-quoted fact that the 1st 6 rounds are the most decisive, and that the 8 is pretty much set after Rd6. Accepting that, it's just a matter of assigning points to each side based on where they finished the year before, so 18...

I can tell you that not only do we have the toughest draw in 2018, we had the toughest draw in 2017 & 2016 as well. This is not bad luck, this is a deliberate action in the AFL's part. They do NOT want Collingwood winning flags, we're just there to provide the money for other sides to win it...

Counting Crows: Anna Begins There's an ad on CNN (where all ads are played like 50 times per day) which says "we're always changing" which places this song in my head. I kept finding myself singing it to myself with no idea why (it's pretty damn old!). Then finally while hearing it in my head...

I don't question the loyalty of supporters lightly, especially ones who put time into writing on Magpie websites, and defending their ideas. You will never get an argument from me about Buckley the player. He's certainly among the top 5 players of the several hundred Magpies I've seen, the only...

Its simple bloody Mathematics! WHY do we have to continue being the laughing stock of the AFL? The other sides are LOVING it! Every single team in the league wouldve sacked Buckley after 2013, Now we all WISH we were as good as 2013!!! This time last year we were 4th This time in 2014 we were...

Im so bloody SICK of the injury excuse!!! You CANT blame injuries 5 years in a row without wondering WHY we have been disabled by injuries 5 years in a row! Do you REALLY think its just coincidence? Go check the history books, you might get a plague of injuries for 2 years running, no one has...
