What is it with Collingwood supporters obsession with the Richmond board lately? Did the Collingwood board shut down due to a lack of interest or something?

They're obsessed with us because we've gone past them as the biggest club in the land, and they know the gap will only widen in coming years. For all their Eddie-backed publicity, they are acutely aware they have won just two flags in the last 60 years, which is only one more than St Kilda in the same time.

They're also cut that we made them pay overs to add another small midfielder who can't kick to their collection.

On the subject of the young lads being discussed, Moore is an incredible athlete who should be a star. His year though, was overrated due to 5 Joe the Goose goals against the Dogs.

De Goey was one of my favourites in the 2014 draft. Hard at it, great at clearances, disposal can be a little iffy at times but mostly solid.

Ellis is Silk, for a reason. His ball use is sublime.

They'll all be guns.

One thing we can all agree on is that Collingworth is a shit team with a pea-hearted vagina of a captain, an overpaid moron of a key forward who can't kick, woeful key defenders, and sub-human filth supporters. :rainbow:

LOL The amount of over the top press we (Collingwood) get didn't make it too difficult. Simple 'Darcy Moore v Bulldogs' search.

No one cares. Go away.

In fact this discussion is rubbish. So much bias and obvious dislike towards collingwood.

Moore/de goey have shown so much in a struggling side. First yr players will struggle MORE in a struggling side. They will stand out MORE in a better side as they have strong support around them. Do you think sidebottom would have had the same inpact as an 19 yr old in 2010 if he was at west coast? Nonsense. C. Ellis is no where near moore or de goey. Yet

I tend to agree but this is the Richmond board and we are going to talk up our own right or wrong.

I think its silly away from game day to continue to be blinkered. Imo if Degoey and Moore were tigers they would be talked up just as much as C Ellis ( who has only shown glimpses to date, in an injury interrupted year) if not more. Those few glimpses do look good though.
Based purely on performances which arent anything great when talking about afl level, but are good for first year players and the opportunity both Moore and Degoey are in front.
For a 200cm skinny first year player no one at any club could have expected more from Moore, He has a long way to go but like C Ellis the signs are good.

Over such a short period of time its niether here nor there. All three have an awful lot of improvement to go, they need to perform for a good period of time before anyone can judge how good they are.
I think the one being overlooked is Brayden Maynard. He also looks to have a good upside. He managed 9 games is a good size for a medium. Has shown accountability provided some run and found a bit of ball.

I actually admire what your mob have done or had the courage to do. Won a flag in 2010 but made the call that the list could not win another one after 2011.Then went into a vigorous rebuild with a list still capable of finals.

If i was a Collingwood supporter and i ask forgiveness for even saying it, i would be over the moon at how well your club has done with rookie picks, trades, and late nd picks.

Personally i am happy just to talk footy with any one, if we cannot acknowledge what opposition clubs have done well and learn then we live with our heads in the sand. Just remember though come game day expect no quarter and a fair bit of vitriol.

Pains me to say, but I agree.

I just want him to be injury free and see what he can do with 15 to 20 posessions. Sub rule will be a blessing for younger players trying to get a spot

Will be a awesome upgrade to our midfield if he can do that, and if he can win some inside ball.... *drools Homer Simpson style*

Another way to look at it is to say the 2010 premiership team was one of the youngest in history. Collingwood beat Hawthorn in the 2011 preliminary final. One of those sides traded away experience and went the youth path, the other added experience and has won the last three flags.

pies stuffed up by showing mick the door. he would have built that list even more after 2010 and got them another flag or 2 imo

they fu*ked up

bucks is a rubbish coach and he will get the flick eventually
 
Hoping Corey comes on 2016. He looks to have genuine talent. Just as a depth mid he could be a big influence in improving the team. If he comes on to genuine AFL standard then watch out!!!! He is exactly the sort of player we need in the midfield. SO I'm hoping, but not expecting him to be fully fit and firing.

On a related note, if Yarran free Vlas to come into the midfield - and Vlas has a reasonable tank - then we could have an awesome quality inside mid group. Then we have the pick ups, big talented but needing to step it up. Interesting times.
