Did someone just compare Fasolo to Ellis? I know Ellis isn't the best player out but he's a great improvement on fazzy bois output to date. imo

While I prefer a ruckman that is a capable resting forward, Grundy does tick some serious boxes
Get the feeling this will be a huge/defining off season

Tom Browne just said this on MMM as well.
Smart move by the club IMHO. I just hope that Teague can get the support staff he wants.
Brighter times ahead, GO BLUES!!

Yes!
No Paul Roos.
Bet he's thrown all his toys out of his cot and is crying in his cornflakes.
Would have been a monumental stuff up had the club appointed him.
Happy David Teague day Everybody!!!
This is the dawning or a new era.
Coach and playing list wise.
I can walk down the street wearing my Carlton hat proudly.
I can rest assured knowing we are going to be competitive in almost any game! This hasn't been the case some Kouta did his knee.
I can smell the roses and have a spring in my step.
No more false dawns baby, the BLUES have arrived.
Other clubs be very afraid!!!
I love my club!
This era is going to make me a very happy. No more clinical depression. Yay!
My family have already been happy for 9 weeks due to my reduced tantrums with yelling swearing and random throwing objects.
My yelling, swearing and random throwing of objects will now be due to devout acts of joy!
My 18 and 20 year old daughter's can now know that losing and losing badly isn't the norm. They will now enjoy the emotion and pride that I once took for granted that comes with winning games of football.
The song!
The Tide has turned!
Thank you Brendon Bolton, SOS, and thank you David Teague.
Enjoy the ride people!

Don’t mind it but Need to load up on good assistants though
I guess I can expect to see Roos starting to pot us again on the couch....
If that's what we intend doing with him, why don't we just keep Lang?
And there's a fair bit between this style of play and what we get with Daisy who thrives on the contested game. Just saying that doesn't make him a Daisy replacement.

Wonder if the Mods would let the cat out of the bag though?
Ellis is a way way more accomplished footballer than Lang

Brodie Grundy is a perfect ruck replacement, no way Collingwood is going to let him go that easy.
What time is the presser today?

Should be like around 10 ? They need to do team selections in the arvo. Just my guess.

Don't think he is getting the plaudits he deserves. Hes a good player.
Durable, rebounds out of 50 well, has been a key part of a premiership team, has at least another 5 good years ahead of him.
Give me Ellis over daisy in 2020 for sure

We need a couple of developed body mids who can run and fill in some of the between the arc holes that appear because the kids are only about 3/4 AFL ready ( Russell has alluded to the lack of proper fitness and time required to get there) - your point on need to cover for Kreuzer has always been well made - a pity Phillips doesn't have the tank to go 4 quarters and like Kreuzer is injury prone...
Lets get serious though : no way collingwood can be stupid enough to let Grundy go- he makes up for some softness in their midfield and is a younger more mobile version of Kreuzer - SOS gets him and it would be a bigger get (in my mind) than Coninglio - get Coniglio AND Grundy? with a decent run of injury - finals for sure - cream on the cake would be a 'real' small forward.
SOS has put together a pile of money and spread the future requirement of salary upgrades very well - so yeah probably in a position to attract some talent - hence clearing air and appointing Teague ahead of schedule makes sense - to provide clarity to target(s).
I hope you are right and we score the two mids we definitely need - if we get Grundy I owe you a bottle of whatever you fancy.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
Now we need to surround him with the best assistants available.
A lot of our coaches don't have a contract for 2020 so we have the ability to turnover quite a few.
Love it! Love it! Love it!
Will be interesting to see Roosy's commentary on us now that he's not angling for a job anymore.
Has been unusually complimentary and brown-nose in recent weeks.
No-one wants to pay you $1mil+ for 2 days a week you muppet!

I'm actually more excited of the possibility of getting Grundy compared to Cogs. Grundy would be immense with our midfield. Hopefully we bag both.
We already have Docherty, Simpson, Newman. We only really need 2 (given guys like SPS, Williamson, Schumacher).
If he's cheap, fine. But we don't need any more HBFs.

you'd hope not...... actually this place would melt down whilst Barass is sitting there with a scotch and a cigar laughing.
Not sure why you would make the comparison.
Doesn't need to play HB, unless the injuries to our mid size defenders continue
