Fourth game player getting most disposals is the only positive you need. This game will fade into insignificance as the season goes on. Guys like Martin and Petracca never went close to that this early. You should have paid Peter Daicos to have more kids twenty years ago. Will be the best...

It was good because he detailed the emotion that comes with that year where you fall out of favour after being part of the furniture. Yeah he was bitter but he detailed it and it gave an insight into how a player can get the sooks. He and Leigh have shared the commentary box countless times...

Collingwood is the subject in two of the best football books that I have read. Loved that Stremski book as it was about football dynamics in general. BT diaries might look like finger painting next to it literature wise but that was a bloody good read back then. Was really open about things...

Dont forget Coventry housemate Colin Alexander. Both ended up at the Brisbane Bears with all the other Alexander/Sheppards from other clubs. At the time ours were so bad that even Brisbane didnt even want them

Its fascinating how presidents and coaches can get a real hatred for each other because of their roles in an organisation that involves alot of emotion. Not specific to Collingwood in anyway even though the book details it with Weideman and Clarke. Walls and Gordon was a well known one along...

It looked as if Buckleys departure helped him. Not sure what their relationship was but he was consistent under Harvey. You would think McRae would be able to get even more from him. With his legal problems behind him I would be excited about him moving to that potential that he has within him.

You need to sack Harvey if he doesnt implement fast ball movement to expose our second rate defence We dont have the intercept ability anymore and key defenders going down. Jamie Elliott will be a problem for us but then again Callum Brown would be a problem for us if he played.

He would have been one of the guys more empowered when Bucks stood back a bit in 2018. Not sure what line he was in control of but the whole side was playing good football that year. Footy is strange in that he lost his assistant coaching job at the club for good when Bucks stood down during...

Im sure the CFC board wont want to die wondering if a different coach could get the best of someone like DeGoey. These players that might be dormant volcanoes just needing a different coaching environment and message along with different advice must give some leaning towards going for a...

There would be the fear that he could get the right type of words and relationship with a coach like Fagan and deliver on what he promises. That fear has probably kept alot of players at clubs where they have held on to them beyond the point of getting good compensation for them. There are...

It is odd that Bucks has been able to still have assistants that have been appointed on the basis of Bucks friendship with them. I dont think Longmuir was in that category and was selected on merit and was very good for you guys. The mates are not being poached and are still there.

Bucks has given some Collingwood supporter friends a bad taste because his wonderful playing record they feel has been turned against the club in taking the job when it would have been better with Mick for at least a couple of years longer and then being able to retain it beyond the time when...

LOL. I lent it to a Collingwood mate who hasnt returned it. Seemed odd at the time he wanted to watch it. Hope we meet in a GF soon as our PF in 2018 was a huge build up. Very exciting rivalry left dormant for too long. Our fault mostly. Should Bucks go straight into the media or should he...

I thought Ed was good for you (while he was good for you) when he was in the 'move with the times' mode. Move from Victoria Park has paid massive dividends as was his first aggressive coaching head hunting of Mick from WC. It is ironic in someways that he went back to the antiquated and less...

Yep, the fourth premiership would have been during his stint at Carlton in 1987. Two at North and yours in 2010 Certainly been around.

Yes I keep forgetting that a team that is four places outside the final eight today is the equivalent of the wooden spooner of the old days.

Has a team in ANY Australian rules competition ever gone from wooden spooners to premiers in one season? That Tommy was so close must and did break his heart. To achieve that at Collingwood would have him as the greatest coach of all time without question on top of his Richmond achievements...

Yeah he pulled back some time this season. I can see he doesnt get past you and other posters and I also see through his 'moves' or presentation strategies but he will be able appear convincing to a lot of supporters hence the difficulty in removing him if his time has come. All teams have...

You guys know whether he is the man to go forward. Not going to go there. But haven't you seen a change in him this year. He seems to be taking the calm approach of everything is OK and under control and normal football business. He avoids every question with this approach and it seems more...

Ed might be hard to remove because he is such a good media performer. When interviewed about a range of the recent issues he is able to speak with a composure as if everything is all good and it comes across very convincing. On Footy Classified this year he is able to present an answer to any...

Wells is such a briliant player and you were really robbed with his injuries This year he came back off a long layoff and is briilliant in the game before being injured in the same game and that is his last game. Doesnt need many disposals because of how he uses the ball. He might be the...

Theres no way you will letting Jamie Billy Elliot go to North Melbourne Unless they throw big cash at him. You dont really lose players to money. Good that his body is right. Only 27 and one of best small forwards in the game.

You'll overtake our percentage next week and we have TWO fifty fifty games left whereas you have ONE. You guys might have me barracking for Essendon in last game of the year. Ill need to shower afterwards of course.

Dont know where Gold Coast are going as a club if they are picking up players like Blair, a couple of our fringe players and George Horlin Smith from Geelong. Are they looking to be a solid VFL side.

the win underneath the loss is the big Membership increase before the opening bounce of 2019 and massive crowds during the season. Look forward to some BIG Richmond Collingwood clashes next year. We will need to get better.

You and the Giants had completely different opposition in totally different game. When you don't take that into account you can fall under perception that they will beat you next week. You will win comfortably. I expect we will play off in a huge Preliminary final. Cant wait.

Short break meant we were never going to find any meaningful comparison between the two teams. Can see us playing each other deep into finals. Unfair percentage loss in the end but Brisbane will help restore that and more.

Went with Carlton mate to the Etihad game yesterday. Next week you will win by ten goals.

Balme just makes up for the duds you sent us in the eighties.

Would not be happy if you took Caracella from us as he has been great with us. But he deserves his chance. He barracked for Collingwood as a kid aswell as being a player so who knows if that gives it a bit of romance. You might like this football philosophy...
