Referring to pies as a “powerhouse”

Won a shitload of flags about 90 years ago.

If that contract really existed then surely wikileaks would have published it by now.

Norwood of the VFL

I think you're giving Norwood too much credit there. They won most of their flags before Collingwood were formed.

Actually, I've always thought Collingwood are to football what Uruguay is to world soccer - did their best work in the 1920s and 1930s, with a brief revival in the 1950s and not much since.

I never watched the film cause it looks sh*t but I always loved the line in the trailer from the grimbys (or whatever it’s called?) where Mark Strong tells SBC they are up against the most powerful corrupt organisation in the world and Cohen quips “FIFA!?“

gold but I always think of that line often and how accurate it is to the afl

FIFA - An international crime syndicate that occasionally organises soccer matches

 

[PowerBaz]

How much reality is there in TV rights deals and the big so called Vic teams getting consistent prime slots on TV?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Is it too soon to start talking about the prison bars curse on Collingwood?

They have been s**t since Ed opened his trap?

Or did Herretier organize someone to shake the bone at them again?

They’re in damage control now

Otherwise known as falling apart.

They're in a free fall of their own making.

People speak of them as sad, what next........ uniformal sympathy in a condescending way.

They're there where they belong.

 

[davo999]

They paid a few more holding the balls most were pretty good , not sure about the one that killed CollingwoodS momentum in the last but mostly helped the game in the way that players were more aware they’d better make a better effort so there was more proper handballs and quicker disposal so yea a good little tweak for mine .
Good to see Snelling playing well , I thought he was good .
Quite a good game actually and I guess happy that the lesser of two evils won lol

 

[Byrons Firen]

Collingwood only 1 point in over a quarter and a half. They have a problem.

They don't like close attention...... it messes up their Friday night formula footy..... bruise free and hey look at me.

Stars in their own universe. Legends in their own life time.

They were exposed tonight and Essendon ain't bad.

 

[Grave Danger]

Jeez that sponsor's sign is a shocker, especially on their ANZAC jumper...

 

[FPPF]

The Victorian establishment, they want to manufacture this pro Vic patriotism, to force it. They aren't responding to the market. They're essentially Trump style practises.

Delusional.

To be fair, Japan was our ally in WW1.

I don't see the point in pretending it's Anzac Day in July.

[Capital Power]

Definitely a game I'd be perfectly happy for both teams to lose, but Essendon played very well for much of it. There were definitely some nods to Port's 2020 playbook in there, it should be a good contest when we play them.

Nobody knows or cares about the south American cups or finishing 4th really. And 1950 was Brazil's choke so it doesn't count as much.

South American soccer is ridiculously underrated. Copa America is our Euro. It should be counted as such.

I will post Brazil and Argentina for context later.
