A horribly miserable cold wet winter awaits that big bunch of Collingwood players who are well into their 30s, They are about to fall off a cliff. For once , I hope you are right. N. Daicos. Captain Moore. If they or either go down for a few weeks Coach Fly might have to change from sanguine to ref...

Nah… He’ll change his tune. And will be adamant that he never supported Ross. It’ll be Chris Pelchen and Brett Ratten all over again! Fair dinkum. From a supporter. Check the calendar, it's 18 months in. Billings is no McEvoy. New players take time to identify and develop. Feet of clay stuff.

If all it takes to be successful is a good coach Either 1/ Ross Lyon is an average coach 2/ that statement is incorrect Give it another 2 years...wait....hell - let's go with 3!! Give it another 3 full years. That'll make it nearly 5 years of Ross the Boss's second coming Up until that time...........

Brayden Maynard has played 195.

NEWMAN!
Yes. Jerry?
We have spoken about this........

if we didn't have Aunty ABC we'd be the 53rd state of americana already i can't fathom how people are not into the ol girl Spreader of left wing crap and spam. Can't stand them and I never watch . How do you know they spread left wing crap if you never watch them? :lol: Well a pretty accurate guess...

Shoulda given up the 2nd rounder for Xerrie instead of Campbell couple of years ago. Maybe looking a little further ahead if picking up a ruck. My guess is if Stengel went anywhere I’d would be Carlton with Eddie betts Stengle needs Miers and Duncan kicking to him. Won't leave and be successful. Mi...

And we have lost 5 games 10pts or under A bit of luck here, a bit of luck there, an injury less here, a suspension less there .... and maybe we win 3 or 4 of those It's true we aren't playing great .... currently .... but I don't it will take much to turn it around Be honest, how many of these clos...

Sam McClure.
Source?
Credibility?
Informal? means I can make up stuff. Allegedly, reportedly, it is understood, an anonymous source reported......
Wow look at the reaction on Saintsational, those fans are ........lol. If only the rest of AFL news readers were so gullible.

Corrosive topic. Sad/disappointing so many have been sucked in and to read the heart wrenching tales of distress and angst. Congenital pessimism must be a burden, good luck dealing. Unless you like the wallowing, of course. Tip: you can stop "supporting" anytime you like, find some other c...

When you can't say anything nice say nothing at all! Best If I stay mute. Doesn't matter to the apologists Doesn't matter what you say. They'll attack any one who doesn't believe in the messiah coach Doesn't matter how accurate or true the criticism...all criticism is unwarranted, unjustified and j...

Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of Dockers fans came over. Expect an easy kill, see Melbourne, plenty of tickets available, compare Southbank with Freo's High Street. Or maybe bottom of Elizabeth with High St. Catch up with Ross.

Hey Moods .... it wasn't even Phillipou's manager ....it was an assistant to his manager (Staphen Kellis) and the idiot couldn't delete his ridiculous tweet quick enough .... yet gossipboy Tom couldn't get on the phone quick enough I am sure there is probably a journalist in there somewhere but it'...

Cordy might be mightily under estimated in regard to what he brings. Could release Battle fwd, give Max a spell as he looks injured. Zane just brings serious effort and smarts. Qualities the side doesn't have a lot of.

Well whatever plan A is, it's not working. What are the common elements of performances like Saturday's and some of the more insipid showings under Brett and Alan. Commonality of players and of players in particular positions, preparations?, there must be a scientific reason for serving up such rubb...

Isn't he a young man living away from home a long way from home and quite physically small. Subi to Wonthaggi, who wouldn't be a bit perplexed by the journey. So quick to critique these young blokes going through tremendous change. Support wouldn't go astray in this formative stage. Maybe?

How are the following forwards going atm King Owens Phillipou Owens seems to be going ok. Membrey is not a youngster and is playing poorly. So what was the manager's point. All younger forwards should be dropped, none dropped, they are all very talented and Ross has ruined them, Ross can't coach, w...

Kick long & high into forward line to the disadvantage of our forwards or to an outnumber. Repeat 20+ times per match, a method that has transcended 3 coaches & a few playing groups. Must be something in the Moorabbin water. And if being 5 points down with 50 secs on the clock isn`t the tim...

I wonder what the point of the tweet was.
Can see a disgruntled family member being foolishly emotive, but a professional manager - how did he see it helping his client.

The players put in for Ross or not as mood takes them; or Ross churns the list to get players that will put in and play smart each week. Selection this week might tell which scenario is at play. Dogs - an aberration; Hawks - bog standard rubbish. Surely we can regroup and lose to Freo by under 2 goa...

Sponsors seem to like us, but.
How long for buyers remorse to kick in.
Surely the players will respond.
Crap v Dogs (tired); crap v Hawks, forgot wot coach said, forgot me skills, those Hawks were so mean.....a forward, a forward, our kingdom for a forward....

Surely Caminiti and Sharman have to come in given the size of Freos defenders? If Max can nullify Pierce it would also help.

Tony74,
Hi, are you able to say what Hayes issues were yesterday; and Ross seemed fully "had enough of these players", is there serious tension in the rooms now with so many playing poorly?
Cheers, Y.

Really have to question what our coaches are emphasising, esp about team work.
