To be honest vinum I was having a bit of laugh... The problem with Haynes was as a junior and on the training field he looked to do all the right things a AFL player should do as in running to the right places and the like. Therefore he became the type of player to be a Recruiters/Coaches...

You missed out on David Haynes: Was he a small foward (I think he was a posing as a forward of some sort)? And why did we trade Pick 20 for him? Then again why was he ever an "AFL" footballer? Finally, who was that guy? and why was he ever allowed to play in all 3 games of our...

Re: Kent Kinglsey Then again Bizzell deserved the "Could be the next G. Ablett" tag more than the man Footballing Wiz Gerad Nesham gave it too: JOHN HUTTON (92-95: Brisbane, Sydney, Fremantle) After a reasonable season at Brisbane (Where he kicked 8 goals in a game agianst us) in 92, Hutton...

Re: Kent Kinglsey I always felt sorry for Paul Brown playing in that fowardline with Ablett. He was a half decent footballer. The problem he faced with Ablett was that Garry Snr simply did not need another pair of hands to handball too, as he rarely got in trouble. He could litterally kick a...

If I was Hunt I would stick with the 38.... there are few guys around the club who have few medals from hanging on to the first high numbers they got as kids - Ling, Enright, Wojo. Pods has to stay in the 31, is the cult-figure jumper at KP, First the Monster and now the J-Pod. Menzel has not...

Cats fans often remember the number 18 on the 1989 list in Sean Denham due to the 93 tagging job he did on fellow former cat Greg Williams but not who had the famous number 4 at the time. And I think its owner at the time of Football Nomad Adrian Fletcher would be someone who had a very worthy...

Unfortunately due to Freo supporters like you he and his team-mates will never learn the Premiership caper unlike Moons. Unfortunately due to Freo supporters like you he (Sandi) and his team-mates will never learn the Premiership caper unlike Moons. Face it mate, your side will come over to...

I think it should also be highlighted that in some of those games like the Hawks game the J-Pod was really playing a lone-hand as a tall forward on a Zoning backline - and did all he could in bringing the ball to ground for a Cats win. I'm also tipping a marked improvement for him this time...

1. First off the game is on a Friday, so a hell of a lot of people will have to made super quick arrangements from an afternoon six days prior. Even a lot of us Cats supporters complain about Friday night games and they live an hour away in the car, not over 4 hours by plane. 2. What...

I was not making a point about Freo's uncanny ability to run out play - I was making a point about Fremantle pathetic away record. A record that I think has been so pathetic for such a long time is due to that fact that the players away performance get accepted by the Freo faithful as long as...

I think the fact you have NOT played at the MCG all year is the most signficant factor... Your side has not played finals for four years and they are coming over to take on the fit (yet wounded from a nailbiting lose) Premiers, where? In a massive Wet and Cold half empty 100,000 seat staduim...

Re: Before the knives come out Before you post again - please read what wrote above, as I think this information has a habit of slipping easily out of your mind. Honestly I would have hate to heard your views on the Cats in the early/ mid 90's and god only knows what you wrote in the...

Seeing as people we’re talking about Conversions, I thought I would mention a very important one to me. Prior to 2007, I had been single for a quite a while – and as always my main focus was never far away from the Cats. In the 2006-7 Summer however, I got together with my current girlfriend...

I cant be bothered going to in depth into the game... But I will say that the biggest plus recently for us has been the sudden burst of fantastic form Ablett has been in right when we need it, esp when up forward. I'm hoping it is because he has decided to stay, as even if has made his mind...

If do not like us Geelong supporters talking reasonably about they way we think we can defeat your side and they way your side will play against us on our own board, then go back the Saints board You can even do what you lot did before we played you last time and start another Pre-Game 100 page...

Good point, here is just a few from a certain South Australian and former Race Caller... "Comes to (Didak, Davis, Thomas), we all know what he can do..." Well actually we dont in finals, the three "D"s of Collingwood all disappear comes finals time. "Now Presti finds Swan who finds (Any...

You are spot on mate it is a lot worse over in West. I was just going to say thank god the game was here so we did not get the expert comments from Jakovitch. Every Monday evening someone rings up SEN to complain about his stupidity after hearing it play out for the first time as he called their...

I'm not a Mackie basher (Like many out there) but I saying to my mate after the game one of things I like about Taylor was his attack on the ball and ability to stand up in the pressure and keep his legs. This is something that Mackie obviously lacks, however with his frame has done very well...

Collingwood are what keeps tradition in the AFL and stops it from turning into the NFL in seconds. They do such with things like their fierce stance on Clash Jumpers of declaring they would not wear anything but their current Home jumper(Black with White Numbers). Despite the fact every for...

I honestly think its all about the "Thinking" with Hawkins.. The more thinks about things, rather than play his natural game the worse he plays. I think that's the reason for his constant up and downs.. Which in turn is so frustrating...

Finally some sense, and not only that Grand Finals are even more different. In a Grand Final you do not those split seconds to size up your kick to Seagull Daisy Thomas hiding by himself on the wing. Who then spots up Dids fifteenNo matter what players have been told all year and done all year...

Agreed, esp with Duncan whose first year has been very impressive. He is a lot stronger over head, tougher at a contest and has more ability to play in bursts in the middle perhaps when more seasoned later in his career. Personally I hope he can evole into a Chappy with hair. (However I obv dont...

Re: Rooke to consult specialist in the US Usually on things like this its the coach making the more measured statements rather than the supporters. If Bomber thinks Max can play his role, then there is clearly a lot of improvement in his condition. Max himself said something like "I have not...

Has anyone considered how dumb the Geelong's professional coaching staff would actually have to be before they suggest Ling should play FF? He is way to slow, otherwise of course he would be used there, only last year he voted by the AFL Players as one of the best kicks for goal. The coaches...

I'm sorry us from Geelong with our University (Deakin), two APS schools (GG and GC), and numerous other private schools were unaware of what a centre of education Collingwood has become recently. Is an academic robe from Collingwood Uni a Black/White adidas tracksuit top? Whilst an Phd a...

I could go on about Byrnes goal, and the 50 Harry "Ohhh" should given away to Johnson.. Instead I'll say this, it only took the 15 minutes of Geelong using the centre properly to cut your signficant lead down and get in front. You got the lead back and won the game by 22 pts, fair enough some...

Agreed, I might go start an argument with my 13 yr old brother over the remote, it would have to be more intellectual than this:thumbsd:

Sorry Joel, I was unaware that Collingwood were so appallingly robbed by the "Carlton’s Salary Cap Class of 1995", I should of realised that was just another of many certain Collingwood flags that were taken away from the evil Tall-Poppy-Cut-Monster.. 1995 was a load of c..p but at least he...

Since the beginning of the sixties Geelong has won the flag three times compared to Collingwood’s once in 1990. It really is amazing that you went to school as fantastically great as Xavier, and you worked out I went to SKC. Everyone here on our board is blessed to have such a person here...
