De Goey is the king of it!

So the outside of the knee is a meniscus injury, is it BT?

I was wondering how the AFL would respond to this after being caught with their pants down, have to say doubling down on the issue wasn’t one of them. Using the good old player welfare angle. Yes, I’m sure helping players get away with testing positive to drugs and escaping punishment will...

Most likely happens at most if not all clubs, but unfortunately for the Melbourne Football Club, they spent all summer harping about no big drug culture problem at the club, and then another piece of news comes out to the contrary. More rinse and repeat press conferences coming up from Gawn...

AFL and corruption in the same sentence? Say it aint so……..

Wait, you signed up in 2002 and it took you 22 years to get upgraded to Gold only this year? That doesn't seem right. Or am I missing something?

Not an error. I’m upgrading myself back to gold from absentee next season and in addition was looking to sign my 8yo up for a membership. The junior silver is listed at $360 while bronze was $225. I called up asking whether these anounts included joining fees. Basically the silver is a once off...

Yep, but you were able to renew back to Gold by May of each year. So that would have an impact on the amount of upgrades offered.

Yep, absentee. Costs about $175, you get two guest passes for the year and still climb the waitlist. Sister has done this for a few years and her waitlist number keeps decreasing (currently about 4,000 and signed up in 2011). The other reason might be Gold members jumping back on from previous...

I thought it was a p*** take by him, until I saw your post. Is he generally unhinged like this all the time?

In terms of performance Frampton easily. Played forward a few games when they were experimenting earlier in the year when McStay was injured. He was putrid then so no idea why they were expecting anything different on Saturday. Would definitely had more of an impact in the backline.

Reset the counter to 2 days. Rather than focusing on Collingwood and them allegedly falling away, I think Blues fans need to focus more on why Charlie Curnow is such a failure when it comes to finals. Unfortunately for him he can't play West Coast every game and definitely not in finals.

Yep, as you have proven the point. Wobbling would suggest one or more of those games would have been lost, instead it's been some clutch football to be able to win 3 close games.

Yes that easy draw where we had West Coast and Nth twice, oh wait. Unless you mean us playing Port twice? Maybe one of those games should go to tougher opposition who will test us.

Interesting that a lot of pundits predicted at the start of this season that because we got away with a lot of close wins last year, we would be the team to completely drop out of the 8. Well that didn't happen.

Adelaide need to get in line. I’m still waiting for the AFL to overturn the 1980 night GF when Collingwood were robbed against North by a goal with a mark taken 5 seconds after the siren.

As long as he stays away from Collingwood he can go wherever he likes. If we wanted his defensive brand of football we might as well have kept Buckley.

Not like there would have been a big crowd anyway. Collingwood’s sh!t form and pathetic game plan has contributed to a natural attrition rate in fans to their games as is! The AFL can be prepared as much as they want. But restaurants and retailers have also prepared, and if restrictions come...

Nah, that will change. Reckon they will can the crowds in an announcement tomorrow.

Just like it did against Brisbane, just like it did against against Sydney...... His gameplan is the reason we are losing games we should have won. Sooner he gets the boot, the better off the club will be. However it seems the morons inside the club seem to have other ideas, and if so the rest...

Would have been lucky to get 15,000 people if it was at Marvel. Collingwood are playing such an unattractive game style that its no wonder fans dont want to watch them play live anymore. You want a return on investment, which paying to watch us play a defensive game kicking sideways and...

His ego won’t let him. There was a reason he had the moniker of FIGJAM bandied about back in his playing days. The difference was he could back it up as a player.

Way past assumptions here. No chance of making the 8 this year. In fact if Collingwood are better than 2 and 11 heading into the bye, it’s a minor miracle. If Buckley had of taken up coaching the Kangaroos instead of Collingwood at the time, then you can bet your bottom dollar he would have...

Doesn't bring it often enough? You got that right. You cant count on one hand the good games he has had and he turns 30 before next season starts. If any other team wants him, they can have him for nothing. He does my head in as I watch him fluff easy marks and get nudged under the ball every...

Damn shame it didn't. We might have actually had someone in charge the last few weeks who knew what they were doing in the coaching department.

Who says it’s not a banned boot? Just because you wear them doesn’t mean they aren’t illegal. Rules state metal studs can’t be worn, this boot has metal studs, Ralphs tweet states the Swans have even admitted to that. Might be an oversight but it is illegal.

I thought the same initially that it could only be done for one year, but I have a gold membership and currently in my 3rd year as absentee. I called the AFL membership department about it at the end of the first year and they said there was no limit at the time on how long you could do it, but...

Considering his age and the issues that Beams had (and the powers to be at Collingwood would have known about them), it would have been worth the risk with a late pick and less money, not the rewards we were offering. There was a lot of dissent on the Collingwood board from the day the trade...

I’m amazed that the club actually does so well in being contenders considering how our recruiting department keep on making monumental blunders. Beams was one of them, never ever should have taken him back at the expense that was paid for him, most people knew that despite the notions of some...

This is a fantastic thread. Keep it going. The above post is his career in a nutshell. Nothing but an absolute ambulance chaser, scraping the bottom of dumpsters looking for stories. I remember at Etihad stadium this year after a fight broke in the crowd after the game had finished, Browne...
