Seems the guys behind the Collingwood Website want to get fans more involved, and have done so by starting a weekly segment where they will take the best posts of each Collingwood board/fan site and place it on their website.

Each week collingwoodfc.com.au will publish selected supporter comments from various online fan boards. Please note the views expressed in the article are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Collingwood Football Club or employees of the club.

“Three Talls: Can it work?” - Zahki
Posted Tuesday 4 May, 7.12 am (Bigfooty.com.au)

So now Dawes has strengthened his claim on his senior spot, and Anthony looks to be regaining his form it's time to address the red hot question: Can three talls work in our forward line?

For me, I'd like to see the club give it a shot for a number of reasons. First and foremost is that Anthony is far too good a player to be languishing in the VFL. He kicked 50 goals last year, and although he got monstered in the finals the club shouldn't back off continuing his development. Lets face it, he's a straight shooter and we need as many of them as we can get at the moment. If he doesn't get the best defender he'll perform much better. If he does then it will surely create a mismatch on Dawes or Cloke that can be exploited, win win.

Dawes too has come out and shown he's ready to take his game to the next level. He has nothing left to learn from playing in the 2s, and has huge potential. Surely the only sane thing to do is to keep him in the side and let him continue to find his feet and adjust to life in the seniors.

Then there is Cloke. I still think he's at his best when he plays like he did on ANZAC day, staying in the 50 and getting scoring opportunities. But as long as the coaches think it's a good idea to have him wheeling around and bombing it into the 50 from the wing why not have Dawes and Anthony in there.

On the flip side playing 2 rucks makes it too tall when one rests up there. Second who comes out for Anthony? This is a side that has got 2 9+ goal wins in 2 weeks, they're obviously working very well together, it's tough to rock the boat the way the side is going.

Either way it's a very good problem to have.

Good idea this.

i was just on the cfc website about to post this man that is so awesome!

 

[Quicky]

Awesome effort Zakhi

Great initiative by the club.

Maybe we could try a best quote of the week for the forum??

Take a poll of say 5 candidates??

 

[TradeDraft]

Great idea. Once it's up running, you could even send Jonathan Bernard the link to save him the trouble of wading through the entire forum.

 

[Shellz]

Nice thought.

I hate the club website though. It's slow and painful to use. I avoid it as much as I can.

 

[Zahki]

Big thanks to Jon Bernard for putting it up there. Really liking how the club is getting supporters more involved this year.

I look forward to seeing our best posters selected.
Great idea, but don't expect to see anything controversial.

cheers mate, seeing this actually gives me some hope!

Match preview will be out tomorrow lunch time

 

[DWil6]

Can't wait to see a DTM post or 2 on the official website.

 

[Old Spice]

Wowee. Well done Zakh's. I thought in my inimical and cynical way that it might be a way of managing discontent, but it I noticed the 3nd comment from Nicks (?) was somewhat critical of Jack.

This is bizarre, but I had a dream last night where Bucks was at a park and came up and said hello to my daughter. I stupidly asked him what he thought of Bigfooty commentary. His face quickly took on the look of a slapped arse, wasn't impressed. He then turned into an escargot.

 

[1eye]

Well done Z.
Better still would be if Collingwood ran their own supporter forum site. So we could all go there and support it; and only come here for other forums

 

[Football God]

things are changing for the good.

^ put that on it.

and nice work Zahki!

I'd probably stay here anyway, I like other team supporters coming here every now and then which they wouldn't do on a Collingwood run forum. Plus they would need to keep it fairly tame, can't imagine them letting the bagging of players stay up - some people here hate it so imagine what the club would be like.

Good job though on CFC putting some posts up.

 

[HotPiesWithSauce]

wow, this may actually give me the incentive to put some thought into my comments...


...nah

Intriguing, but they're not going to publish that, Spice.

It's a terrific initiative; it acknowledges that the fan forums can actually be a force for good in footy. Well done Zahki, and I heartilty endorse suggestions that DaVe86 should have his previews published. They're better than anything that appears elsewhere.
