Collingwood board busy looking over their shoulder...."If Tiges ghad palyed a good team they would have lost" . They think they are the only club with depth to cover old or VFL players. Meanwhile Tiges covering loss of All Australians and Best and Fairest winners. Would not mind playing them again asap...will have to wait.
I hope they beat the living crap out of each other but kind of hope the Bombers win it with a kick after the siren when Maynard gives away a stupid free kick in the pocket for blocking then gives away a 50m penalty for mouthing off like the campaigner he is.

I love that fools like Carey underrate our list. Long may it continue.
He's a bit of a simpleton and looks at where players were drafted. I mean if the draft was held tomorrow where would Jack Ross be selected? Sydney Stack? Draft numbers mean nothing.

As for Melbourne....

I look at Melbourne and think Viney and Brayshaw are tough midfielders with average to poor skills - they're not elite. Clayton is probably elite but even his skills are questionable - throws it well. None of them impact the scoreboard.

Then you have some reasonable defenders that have already played their best football - Lewis & Hibberd
Lever is good, May good but overrated and they're no Alex Rance or Dylan Grimes.

Gawn is a good to very good ruckman and mark but he won't win you games. He just plugs the holes in the damn wall.

There's some OK footballers in Salem, Fritsch, Jetta, Melksham, McDonald, Harmes, Kolodjashnij, Garlett

Vanilla foot soldiers Vandenberg, Hunt, Frost

Blokes who are highly rated and may be good but have shown very little in Petracca, Weideman

Blokes I don't rate at all in Preuss, Jones

And then you have a list of no names, a very long list.....
Sparrow, Hore, Petty, Wagner x 2, Smith, Neal-Bullen, O McDonald, Jordon, Kennedy Harris, Hannan, Maynard, Bedford, Spargo, Stretch, Nietschke ...... There's 16 in that list and there lies the problem.

To think that David King said pre-season that "Melbourne were unbeatable. How is anyone going to beat them" is baffling at best.
This post is so accurate. Melbourne have a lot of glaring holes in their list.

Been to a couple of storm games with tickets from work, the game atmosphere is great but like you I had nfi idea what was going on
You basically tuck the ball under you arm and run at a brick wall. Well suited to meatheads and people that can't spell Rugby like Boydo.
