Maybe this defuses the myth that all the altitude training that Collingwood does during the off-season on really assists if someone is injured hence why other clubs have not done so.

I played golf, many years ago, with Sir Garfield Sobers, in a charity comp at Royal Melbourne. We hit off just after dawn and it was still pretty dark.

Dane Swan is an all around good midfielder who does not have one attribute that stands out. That being said he does everything in the game pretty well.

We could certainly do worse re difficult of the run home. A a supporter cannot help but expect a top 2 finish going on the form of the last month and the quality of opposition especially in the alst 6 weeks of the season.

Geelong and Hawks will pose problems.

It might sound weird, but I think post-Roo Kosi was trying too hard. On the weekend, he was obviously a lot better. He seemed more relaxed, gloved some marks and kicked some goals. Seemed to be enjoying himself. Moved around the ground (and through the ruck) at ease, without running himself absolut...
