I just noticed that Richmond already has a 2024 whipping boy thread up and running. We should be ashamed of ourselves. I have a feeling that we're going to be inundated with suggestions in the first few months of the season, as the boys slacken off and grow fat dining out on their exploits last...

I dont click on much online these days but it's not hard to stumble over somone complaining about umpire's mistakes during saturday's game. In the Pies' case, I've heard a lot of complaints in the past about sheperding and knock-ons outside the boundary and goals being called points. Of course...

I was listening to Grandstand on the radio on the way to Bunnings. They were interviewing Mitch Clearly as an overview of what happened to the AFL in 2022. The first 10 minutes was exclusively Collingwood. Buddy's 1000 got mentioned afterwards, and Carlton's flop, but the Pies set the agenda...

I was thinking it might be interesting to have thread to discuss historical Pie trades.... For example, Jaidyn Stephenson was traded to North for Pick 26 and an upgrade from pick 39 to 33 (I'm ignoring the value for Atu). And another associated one, Tom Phillips was traded to pick 65...

I'd like to complain about the umpires... Thank you.

I've heard the sports psychologist's name mentioned in a few player interviews recently. What sparked my interest was that they named Jacqui Louder specifically. I'd heard her name before but I didnt know much. I went to investigate who she is and what she does...

I count watching at least the last quarter. I dont count watching some mini replay or highlights of a few goals....I must admit that the first time i did the replay was about 30 mins after the game and took it from about the 20min mark of the 3rd quarter. And then I watched the last quarter a...

Here's a good news story involving Collingwood. It reflects very well on Collingwood and shows that the Pies has a positive culture. This sort of stuff really doesnt interest me but I understand that the Pies as a sporting entity need to do these things, to project a positive image. You'll...

Just no..... no ....sorry but no.... https://www.afl.com.au/news/754544/-i-d-love-to-come-back-irish-ex-pie-open-to-afl-return

If you're interested in getting an insight into Brodie Grundy and his relationship with Nathan Buckley, have a look at the Couch interview tonight. To start off, Lyon asked a pretty open ended question about his battle with Draper and Brodie was fairly forthcoming... Then Buckley asked him the...

The current recruiting strategies are not working. The strategy of trying to "cheat" and recruit athletes from other sports has not delivered results. The strategy of targetting irish footballers has provided limited success. I am unsure of the amount of work that goes into organising these...

I dont understand the issue of variable height of players. I dont even bother trying to find their playing weight. It seems strange to me when I read articles about grundy losing 3kg for the new season. Are they really that aware of their weight? As for height, players seem to grow and shrink in...

We need to pick ourselves up and go forward. I know a lot of us will be posting about buckley's coaching for the next year or so, but we really need to put some work into Rob Harvey. So for the question, the short answer is no. He doesnt seem to have a plan. He's going to "free the boys" up...

Thank god for AFLW.

Today's headline in the Age about Scientology is just another brick in the wall that demonstrates that our lawmakers are gutless and lazy and probably open to corruption. I have no beef with Scientology. If people want to give their money away to organisations and be subject to brain washing...

I said this earlier in the week. I've seen a few people say the same thing in the threads. Jodie Sizer is a Djab Wurrung/Gunditjmara woman, a founding partner and Co-CEO of PricewaterhouseCoopers Indigenous Consulting, a Board member of Collingwood Football Club and chair of the club’s...

I made this a thread because I wanted to say something positive about Ned. It can drift off into the sunset quickly but I need to get this off my chest. I think we're all agreed that he looked like a rabbit in the headlights post trading period. I think a lot of that was because he didnt know...

Yes, it's time to move on the Collingwood Board. We've had a multitude of calls for Eddie to move on, but I think it's more obvious that other members of the board should be ditched and fresh blood bought in. So you say, why bother because Eddie is the board. Well in reality, that's correct. I...

I have a story. I had a friend years ago. He had a group of mates. One of his mates gave him the name "Wally". After a while, all the guys in the group called my friend Wally. Initially, he was a bit confused why he got the name, but after a while he got used to it and answered to it like it...

I thought that I would post a serious thread about something that has been spoken about but I wanted to look at the actual list. First, I will list all the so-called Talls Brodie Grundy Darcy Cameron Ben Reid Jordan Roughhead Will Kelly Darcy Moore Max Lynch Mason Cox Mark Keane Troy Wilson...

The AFL site is talking about the possibility of allowing people into games. Would you go to a game if it was "deemed to be safe" by the doctors? I have to admit that I'm staying away from crowds until there's a cure. Of course if the pies make the grand final, i could be persuaded to wear a...

its an article about ferrari but it could be a story about collingwood... https://www.news.com.au/sport/motorsport/formula-one/ferrari-drivers-can-suffer-burnout-from-f1-pressure-says-alex-wurz/news-story/270fe9b9a8bce435876c23b5d45dfc8e

If anyone watched the injury update video, you would have seen Geoff refer to Dane. Walsh has either a very dry sense of humour or he isnt too happy. Anyone know anything about this?

more accurately, our masters ...so a chant of USA is good opportunity to suck up.

Ben recently made a big thing about playing with his brother Sam. Now we find out that Ben has been dropped. Senior players getting dropped usually means that they are halfway out the door. Is Ben getting traded to Sydney at the end of the year? Thoughts?

A list clogger is a player who clogs a list. Some cloggers sneak up on ya while others were obviously cloggers from the first time that they entered a club and remained a clogger even when they were getting games. I thought that I would cast a net wide for cloggers rather than just...

My Saturday morning drive to the shops to get the weekend shopping allows me to tune into Magpie Radio on the local community radio station. I know that I've given a serve to these guys in the past, but something really needs to be done. If you're from outside WA and you're interested in the WA...

Dear diary 4th June 2017 I made what is likely to be my last trip to Subiaco oval yesterday. It's the last for two reasons. 1. The Pies probably wont play there again 2. The Dogturd fans drove me crazy. I usually try to drag someone along but in the last couple of years I've relied on my...

I had this thought about that saying that your hear a lot around trade week..."he comes from a good home"....or similar. It occurred to me that maybe there are cases when it might be preferable to recruit a player from a relatively bad home, and the reason I say that is that many of the kids...

I posted the following in another thread. I intend to add to this thread longterm. I think supporters have been hoodwinked into not opposing these people because it would be seen as a show of disunity. I believe thats a mistake. I wouldnt like to see Eddie go. He's dynamic .... but he needs to...
