I’m just quoting the science. You’re obviously better with a top 5 player, all other things being equal. But plenty have played in terrible teams - think Lockett - and never won anything. An all round good team beats a team of champions and battlers.

Not sure about that.. team of champions and battlers? You need a coupla of reptilian shapeshifters in your side.. and a good spread of A-Cs. An Alexander the Great King Leonidas type leading the pack.. Achilles Stellios types running amok.. your good to very good soldiers playing their roles.. staying strong.. making a difference.. contributing.

A team of champions or a team of B graders = zero premierships. Pendlebury in his prime might agree to play out of a back pocket in a team of champions.. but you run the risk of him kicking up a stink.. which leads to in house fighting and factions becoming too much of a friction.. and all that sort of shit.. and a team of B graders will get found out.. a Martin or a Maradona will turn on the jets.. and you are history. Sayanora.

“Since he’s (McRae) come on board, I think it’s a great fresh start for the club,” Crisp told NCA NewsWire.

“Having Leppa (Justin Leppitsch) come in, who I’ve worked with, is great. I’ve never met Brendon Bolton, but he’ll be great for the club as well.”

Crispo displaying a very low threshold for greatness there.

The fact that Crispy is so positive should be pleasing to us supporters. He could have trotted out the usual lines but instead he identified where and and why he is optimistic. My faith and level of anticipation for the new period at Collingwood is growing daily.
 
Speaking of coaching, Robert Harvey to the Hawks. Thought he was going to WCE?

So what am I expecting of the Fly re.. look.. wouldn't expect him to walk into the joint with a pair of stylish monk straps.. hi tops.. boots.. just yet.. he needs to establish himself a bit in the initial stages of his appointment.. a yr or 2 or whatever.. win a few games.. play some good attractive football.. then if he wants to throw on a pair.. if he's feeling it.. go for it re.. first day back at training.. good pair of clean sneakers for the track.. formal lace up shoes for corporate events or when addressing the media or when he's in and around the joint and that re.. no loafers.. ugg boots.. thongs.. sandals at any stage.. gonna wear those.. wear em at home.. please..

I've got confidence the Fly will go about it the right way.

Certainly very talkative!
Loved the fact he kept referencing The Club as “we”.

So did Christian Petracca on 360 the other night (talking about attending 2010 GF).
”After we won the replay…blah blah blah”
Then caught himself...realised he had said we…smiled & quickly moved on.
He has to break his contract & come to us in 2-3 years when we are back contending.

He’s thrilled that as senior coach he’s been given a new pair of Nike’s.

Do you buy into that faux modesty schtick?

Do you reckon it’s becoming of the Collingwood senior coach?

Or do you expect him to put on a show at our first training session, rocking a pair of Balenciaga’s, and tossing his unworn Nike’s into the adoring crowd?

Not sure about that.. you need a special player in your side.. top 5. 2 or 3 top 10-15.. and you've got a premiership/s. Don't underestimate the value of 1 incredible reptilian shapeshifting supercharged turbo type of player in your side.

For what?

Half a packet of cheese flavoured twisties for TradeDraft , some top-up belly button lint for Good Horse , and a growler of some hipster‘s first experimental batch of American Old School Pale Ale for jmac70 *

* jmac70 I recently came into possession of such a thing. Will report status 👍

I'd do that trade, but they would need to throw in some pony defence supplies.
