Predicted weather won't suite the Doggie's game style (I hope). Flipping it around and hand balling as much as they do.

More like throwing the ball.

Got a few bucks to spare? EnChroma

mmmmmm ... dunno. Wouldn't mind trailing a pair. Being a life time condition I'm kinda used to my limitations.
Was a hell of a shock when diagnosed coz I had no idea. Did wonder why I struggled batting especially when there were
no sight screens in under aged cricket. Also had to field mid-on and mid-off where I could get a line on the ball.
Slips or square of the wicket were a challenge.

To stop myself look a fright I just say to my understanding wife you pick shirt/pants

 

[ROBBBO]

I like how the Crow fans heap shit on Dixon but you know one thing Charlie does regardless of his form is provide physicality something Walker & Jenkins shirk at every opportunity.

Oh snap !!

Youtube EnChroma. Some good viewing.

GREEEEEEMIOOOOOO!!!!
POOOOOOWEEEEEER!!!!

Second round, since I started tipping. My only miss was Brisbane (which I tipped before Cameron's injury). Rookie's luck, I guess.

 

[GremioPower]

I loved hearing Pikey’s comments after the game. Doesn’t come out with the word injuries but says “lack of continuity” is hurting them.

Apparently this is not offering excuses

This loss compensated their surprising win at Sydney (when their injuries and lack of continuity weren't issues). It should have been the other way around.

Thanks Jezza

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Anyone else surprised that Daniel Wells is still a thing?

 

[Established1870]

According to a crows fan it really depends how long the magic aboriginal potion he's been using for his hammy lasts for.

Wait, what

 

[Byrons Firen]

Sorry if it's late and been done to death but big tick to the coaches today and believe it or not I thought Pyke nailed it.
Ken's panda outfit was a beauty too. Great effort great cause. Football should be proud of itself.
It done good.

 

[TeeKray]

Neither has Australia’s biggest club, since Malthouse.

Buckley coached them to 4th in his first year ...

So, after inventing (or approving) the POWER stance, now Pyke has put on a POWER Ranger costume!? Does he have a POWER obssession or something?

Geez... Once a recently-hired coach by Internacional was caught distractedly eating a Gremio ice-cream cup, and the Reds went beserk. The coach had to apologize. How does Pyke get a pass for doing this stuff, specially with their recent record?

You all are probably more mature than us. I would be all over the Cows for this.

P.S.: Since i am at this, already, from now on, someone should go to every Magpies' games dressed up as a Panda until it becomes our official mascot. (I haven't give up on Zeus! The Panda would be our black-and-white mascot.)

Not sure, they've generally been a good team in tight for a while. They're more about the midfield maul than most, but yes hopefully we can turn the conditions to our advantage.

 

[Traveling_Power]

Dixon and SPP. Dicko probably a behind most times. Jasper or Broady (remember him?) would probably make the distance but spray it.

and don't forget the Cannon … he can more than kick 50m … but unfortunately before being injured we haven't given him a decent chance (he should be playing on the wing instead of motlop … motlop can take Neade's place) …

Also Hammer can kick more than 50m but he is injured also (and he doesn't do it enough)

 

[wayb2912]

Awkward when Mason Cox has kicked almost double the amount of goals that Charlie Dixon has

[El_Scorcho]

90% of the players on our list can kick 50m if they back themselves in.

Popping it up to the hot spot (or in our case deep into the pocket) when kicking from the paint shits me off. If you're any chance of making the distance, go for goal. I just don't believe it's a net better strategy long term to lob it up to an incredibly congested area. At least if it's punched through for a point we've got time to set up to lock it in instead of potentially getting killed on the rebound.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Also mark me down as pro-Buckley. I like they way they've rebuilt and Buckley knows his stuff.

Mason Cox made his way into my ultimate footy side as bye week cover as I had McEvoy and Lycett both out, and dragged me over the line in a 3rd v 4th 8 pointer as my captain Tom Phillips floundered. He might be my favourite non-Port player now.

 

[rogerjames]

My heart bleeds for Collingwood. Their standing as a big Victorian club has seen them collect some very good ready made players from GWS in particular. Would have helped with the acquisition of Cox too.

Correct. So many GWS and GC players end up in high profile Vic teams. And thats where the extra picks will end up. No thanx.

Nah all good. Pyke was having a laugh at their widely ridiculed power stance used in last years' finals.
The whole fund raising event for all the coaches was good humoured. Not a time for anything but respect even love to
Neale Daniher and the fight against Motor Neurone Disease he suffers from.

He got given a 3 year contract. He's still got a year to run.

 

[RangaInTeal]

Will probably win a Brownlow next year, always turns it on for his contract years

 

[SteppingTiger]

No Lever, No Adelaide.

Adelaide always has a Lever.... just changes names each year, sometimes they’d have more than one.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

For all the froth over collingwood and Melbourne, we win on Thursday and we are equal on points, with some very winnable fixtures coming up. I am pleased we are flying well under the radar.

Sadly it is those 'winnable fixtures' where we always seem to trip ourselves up. Time will tell I guess.

Fine, be pro-Buckley. He looks like a good coach. I just don’t get why tribey has to turn it into a Buckley v Hinkley pissing contest everytime Collingwood has a good win. I don’t know what he’s trying to say. It’s not like Buckley has ever had any plans to coach here. He already told us to rack off once as a player when he could have come back as our first AFL captain.
