G'day,
As some of you may be aware, over the past few weeks myself and 10 others have been participating in a Collingwood all time draft to assemble a best 18. (https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/collingwood-all-time-draft.1288790) All Collingwood players were eligible and the rules were...

G'day,
Have been itching to post this ever since our season ended circa round 7, finally thought it would be appropriate to start the ball rolling now. After seeing something similar on the Saints board...
With the recruitment of Mayne, Blair will be released in 2017 and take full advantage of the physical gifts God has given him. Expect this 27 year old to really explode next season, using his speed, turning circle and vertical dominance to advantage and terrorise opposition backlines.
I was too young to see Darren Millane play, but from the snippets i've seen and what I've been told I believe Marley Williams is the player to bring the number 42 out of it's 22 year retirement.
He's hard as nails, hits the contest ridiculously hard, never takes a backwards step, already very...
I was one that questioned his elevation, especially after so many rookies impressing this year.
But the last three weeks he has well and truly taken his opportunity in light of Toovey going down.
Quick, tenacious, can defend above his head and offered some very good things offensively...
Anyone else a little jealous of the Kardinia Park upgrades and the formidable home ground advantage they will build up if they ever get to play all their home games and even finals there?
It would be nice to have that genuine home ground advantage. It would have been nigh on impossible to pull...
One of the few positives of this week is that if Swan wants to continue past next year (which he has indicated he does) he'll have no problems doing so. Looked very sharp up forward.
Could have a huge impact on the last half of our season with Beams and Ball coming back.
He's been signed for three years with obviously more years if he performs/wants to go on.
What do you think will be his highest finish as the coach of Carlton?
........For using Gary Pert's car park once too often.

Honestly, I have no idea what to think of this.
Well done to Eddie for his part in securing Melbourne a FOJ sponsor.
The modern day Pratt minus the dirty criminal behaviour and disgustingly ugly missus.
This thread will act as a registry for hilarious signatures from supporters who get ahead of themselves.
Inaugural entry from Jade_00:
Jimmy Hird misreads the fixture by four months and gets Essendon to peak in May instead of April. Jade is unable to contain his excitement and changes his sig...
The similarities are starting to add up.
Both had two legends at the helm three and four years before who left the list in poor shape. Both Knights and Shaw lasted three years, where it can be argued that they were a scapegoat for the previous coaches mistakes and near-sightedness.
Happy...
Been on the cusp of kicking a big bag a few times in his career, yet he has never kicked more than five goals in a game.
Best chance imo was when he tore apart Essendon in the first half at last years ANZAC game, however a few missed set shots and alas, it wasn't to be.
Ive been looking...

Good article on Possum, I just love how far he has come since the 2007-8 years. Hasn't been blessed...
What would you do if you were the GWS recruiting manager?
Say you have 1.5 million to spend (basically the same as what Gary Ablett is getting at GC). Would you after a top 10 player of the competition and build a side around him, or use the money to recruit three footballers who would...
Is it just me or Luke's kicking has significantly improved this year?
Last year it looked to be a very labour intensive action, with his absolute limit being 45 metres. However, the first two games there has been a big improvement, spotting up targets easily and accurately while also being...

If Gary Ablett is announced as Captain, the club will be rooted before they play a game in the big time.
The bloke isn't a captains a-hole, the last three years and especially how he has handled this year have proved that.
At least Judd had enough guts to tell West Coast he wanted out.
