Roast Officially bottom four.

[Apex36]

How ironic would that be too, that should (touch wood not to!) we end up with the spoon and have the #1 draft pick we wouldn't end up actually even getting that either since we traded that away in the past 2 drafts

Do you secretly support Hawthorn? Because they're the only club in danger of that this year.

 

[THATSGOLD]

More to the point how many players do we have playing well? Count them on one hand too!

Clubs a mess.

 

[GreekLunatic]

We one game off last

 

[Robroy22]

we can do it

No I am most definitely a pies supporter and 15 years legends member at that if you really want some sort of proof of my allegiance, I was merely commenting objectively upon what a cruel twist of irony it would be if those circumstances were to eventuate, but as previous posters have pointed out this would be an impossibility - I was just uncertain as to whether this years draft we had a first round pick as the convoluted inter-club backroom trade deals require a high-level aptitude in mathematics and relative physics to follow let alone understand, I know we traded away 2 for treloar and then HE.

I know that the ability of someone to make an objective comment about Collingwoods mis/fortunes on this board or elsewhere is difficult to comprehend and all, however after walking out of gate 1 yesterday with that obscenely offensive song blaring I feel curiously emotionless

I hope Hine isn't the one using it. He's been off the boil recruitment wise for too long and deserves the flick.

So much heat on Buckley and very little being said about Hine.

His track record is heading in the wrong direction.

 

[loki04]

He will pick a former javelin thrower that can run 100metres in 12 seconds but hasn't touched a footy since age 7 but was ripping up the auskick games at that age playing KPF, so we will look to throw him in the middle

Hopefully quicker then that.

Was thinking about this earlier and was my sentiment. At this stage we are headed for that bottom 4 finish. Be interesting to see how much the new coach goes to turning over the list. Will it be reboot and try to move up quickly or will the new thought be full rebuild with expectations we are years away.

My feel it will be full rebuild. Would say there is not enough talent amongst the younger players to say we are just a few top ups away from contending. Amongst our initially highly rated youngsters none of Broomhead, WHE, Aish, or Shaz look star material. It's just too many good picks to turn over without a winner.

 

[Adz]

We are only 3 wins from 6th position guys!

 

[TradeDraft]

Bottom 4 where we should be and soon to be Bottom of Ladder

 

[Captivating]

Lol, now we're on the same number as wins as the Hawks and I can see them winning more games than us.

 

[ThexderX]

We are only 3 wins from 6th position guys!

That's a whole season of wins for us.

 

[Monco Matt]

This would probably be the first season under Bux that we were officially inside the bottom 4 after 7 rounds. What a slow, painful ride these 6 years have been. This is like Chinese water torture, what have we done to deserve this?

 

[Linda_Lovelace]

Our momentum continues, all negative of course.

[10571z]

Look at what Essendon have been through and there infront of us

Worsfold can coach.

 

[BPikkers]

And how many kids do we have performing well ???

Count them on one hand

Exactly right. They are ordinary. Maybe Phillips given he has only had a season and at least shown something is a pass.

Daicos and Brown need to get games this year. McLarty is obviously another year away.

We have obviously done a 'Richmond' and over-rated the list considering we brought in Mayne and Wells.

2 first round picks for Treloar is looking ludicrous. Yes a good player for us (disposal needs some work), but looking at how the draft system is being played, it looks like only the absolute top players in the league may be close to it. Another failing by the club to negotiate properly.

 

[Matt_352]

We are only 3 wins from 6th position guys!

And 1 loss from a spoon

 

[Finnishpie]

Pretty hard to stomach how many teams have gone past us.

Carlton
Essendon
Gold Coast
Melbourne
St Kilda

Just two-three years ago we were ahead of these teams. Hell, even the doggies were about on par.

Fremantle were horrible and Port weren't far off our shitness last year but now both are far better than us. Wouldn't be surprised if Brisbane take over us this season too.

Let's overreact in here, let's exaggerate and just let true emotions fly.

Let's go FERAL!

 

[frizzle]

And 1 loss from a spoon

Hawks & Swans will pass us. That leaves us fighting Brisbane for the spoon.
How will that sit with everyone?

 

[WakeUpPies]

Well on the bright side, the last time we sucked this bad we ended up with our best performer in 2 grand finals and an all-time great player.

... Although last time we sucked this hard the majority of our key players were genuinely injured. lol

 

[Leviathan Pie]

Watch us (Hine) draft another vanilla midfielder.

 

[Black_White]

So much heat on Buckley and very little being said about Hine.

His track record is heading in the wrong direction.

Hine recruits to the coaches wishes.
The coach develops the game plan, the coach tells the recruiter what type of player he needs to implement the game plan.
The coach also approves of the players taken before they are taken.
Hine might not be the magic man everyone thought he was, but he is employed to do the coaches bidding.
If anyone doesn't understand that then they don't understand AFL.

 

[MyManLynch]

Bottom 4 where we should be and soon to be Bottom of Ladder

This time next week...we will be in 17th position.
Both Hawthorn & Sydney will pass us.
GWS will give a a flogging.
Pick 2 looking good.
