Now the season 2009 is done and dusted, let us cast our eyes back over the season and share some of the memorable moments that made 2009 one of the best ever (we seem to say this every year, don't we?). Games of the 2009 Finals series: 1- St Kilda vs Geelong GF- Need i say more? One for the...

A player of his calibre will be highly sought after, question is, how much would we be willing to give up for him? I have no doubt that he would take our midfield to a new level- he is a gamebreaker with sublime skills, is dangerous near the goals and great around the stoppages in general. I...

Should Thomas be played forward for most of the finals series? To me, it seems that he is most dangerous when he goes forward, mainly due to his excellent overhead marking and fantastic crumbing ability. Also, his set shot kicking for goal has improved in leaps and bounds this season, and...

Do you remember writing this mate???? Just what were you thinking??:confused: -Our backline you say is weak, yet it was the same weak backline that kep fev goalless and choked the life out of carlton's forward line - Wood shared the ruck honours with kruezer, a no.1 pick.... - Forward line...

Never have i ever wanted to win a H&A game more than this week's against the old enemy. Big stage, huge crowd and massive stakes. A win will see us strengthen our position in the top 4, whereas a loss would bring us back to the pack and undo all the good work of the 7 weeks prior to the hawthorn...

Collingwood FC has officially broken the 46k barrier for memberships in 2009 (Final Tally: 46,054 @ 10/7/09). This is an amazing achievment given the global financial crisis and all those who bought a membership this season (me included) should pat themselves on the back for supporting the club...

Who do we all think are our five most important and crucial players at the moment? Which 5 are most critical to our september chances and need to stay fit and in form for us to go deep in september? For me, in order, they would be: 1. Travis Cloke- His contested marking is back to its best...

Next March our community football team will be taking on a team from adelaide in a state of origin exhibition match. We played each other 6 times in the 1990s and reignited the concept in March of this year. The game will be serious, with professional umpires to be hired and a VFL ground to be...

I think we now know why he wasn't picked:) Honestly, did it mean that much to him that he went on a rampage about it on radio?? Thoughts?

I know this was brought up a few days ago but i thought i would include more players and attach a poll to find out who really is the best small forward in the comp. I'll only include those who spend the majority of their time as a small forward, so players like leon davis, shaun higgins and...

If we are hoping of a top 8 or even top four finish this year, one thing must improve, and that is the gap between our best and our worst. Last night we saw our worst in the first term where our mid-tier players were fumbling under pressure, missing targets by quite a margin and kicking very...

We are far too inefficient going forward, and once we get it in there we stuff it up anyway. No doubt cloke + another key forward would straighten us up, but far too many times today it was in our forward 50 with a big chance of kicking a goal and we stuffed it up. Looking forward to regaining...

FFS he has been averaging 24 possessions and 8 tackles a game in the VFL, is that not good enough form to warrant a game mick??? He should've come in for barham this week, who although has great pace and can find the ball, is a liability to our side due to his terrible kicking. A few weeks in...

When this was posted last year everyone bagged the crap out of pendlebury, but this year he has taken his game to a new level. So who out of pendles or lids would you take based on current form and potential?? Below are some stats (averages) from 2009 to help make it easier: Pendlebury...

They could be seething at the loss to the bombers and determined to make amends this week vs north melbourne OR They could be phsychologically scarred from the loss to the bombers, their confidence may have hit rock bottom and it may take a few weeks to get over. I'm particurlarly worried about...

Unless MM changes his gameplan and encourages run through the corridor + more handball, his time is up. Look at carlton, geelong and hawthorn FFS. I dont know whether buckley would be the perfect fit and would be a big risk due to his inexperience. Having said that it is an opportunity we...

First time i do this but it needs to be said, you guys played a great game today and if it were not for your woeful set shots on goals the margin wouldve been greater at 3qtr time. Your young players stood up under the pressure of 85k fans and credit must be given to your coaching staff. I am...

Where is he currently at in Season 2009? The kid has bucketloads of talent but it hasn't quite been the start he and our supporters had hoped for. He had a solid game vs Adelaide with hard running being a feature of that particular match. Against geelong he gathered a fair bit of the ball but...

After every training session i end having no skin left on the back of my ankle and big red blisters because of my boots. They are new, but the same happened to me in a practice match with old boots a month back. For some reason, it only happens with my left foot, my right foot(preferred) is...

Which team does everyone think was the biggest winner and loser of the 2001 superdraft?? Which team made the most out of their selections ie: how important are the players they drafted from that year to their side? Just to start you guys off, here is who i think were the biggest winners...

OUT: L.brown, Cox In: Rocca, thomas Still too early to decide on rocca and thomas, but you would think they would come into the side considering we are playing the cats. Am i being too harsh on Cox?? I'm basing my argument on the fact that he got outmarked one-on-one on numerous occasions...

I reckon he definately is-without him the backline is very susceptable. i mean if Ablett and bartel are out selwood, corey and ling would take over. ATM if Scarlett was out injured, their defence would be left to taylor and milburn... What do you guys reckon? Could Geelong win the premiership...

as the title says, who is the best kick for goal from a set shot... is it fevola, john anthony, jonathan brown??? ps. It also means the most reliable, not just the players who can kick the freaky and miss from directly in front

What i want is 11 games with reserved seats in the ponsford stand, but i really don't want to spend $375 on a captains membership. I don't want all the extra social club stuff that comes with it, just a decent seat to our 11 home games. I got a brochure today outlining all the packages; If...

Both had great first years and i feel that Taylor was unfairly harrassed by the media over some bad games. Having said that, he did make a few costly mistakes in the grand final. Personally, im excited to see brown in 09 as he will become the rock in our defence for the next decade. Do...

Thoughts on the slightly modified jumper? i reckon it looks great

Is it judd, ablett, mitchell, bartel, corey, kerr or someone else i missed out on? Name your choice and why... or is it obree:D IMO, judd and ablett are a class above the rest

im a bit young so some might disagree, but for me it would be his 29 possession 6 goal haul against brisbane in 2006. Swan done his hammy early, maxwell broke his leg and caracella was gawn, yet we still one against the odds thanks to this legend. He pretty much single handedly won us the game...
