accountability is a problem - does not work hard enough up the ground and leaves his man free.. i don't think this is part of the zone. good for him because he can get a couple of cheapies over the back, but not so good for the defence trying to man up an extra player. case in point last night, i th...

5 - Hayes
4 - Ray
3 - Milne
2 - Goddard
1 - Blake

Armo hardly touched it the other night. Bobbed up in the right places for a couple of goals but they masked what was a pretty ordinary performance otherwise

Kicked as many goals today as he did for the whole season last year

Their second halves have to be a big worry. Brisbane (who I don't think are much better than average especially with their midfield) blew them out of the water, and truth be told we absolutely smashed them in the second half. The scoreboard doesn't reflect it, but we had more entries in the third (1...

definitely a free to gavin mitchell...

So I'm guessing Goddard 5+3 Dal Santo 4+3 Milne 5+1 Pavlich 4+2 Mindy 2 Sandilands 1 or could be Goddard 4 + 4 Dal 5+2 Milney 3+ 3 Pavlich 5+1 Mindy 2 Sandi 1 Hard to give Pav BOG though. I would think.. Ross: Milne 5 Dal 4 Goddard 3 Pavlich 2 Sandilands 1 Harvey: Goddard 5 Pavlich 4 Dal 3 Mundy 2 ...

MM stated that against the Saints, Ball was one of Collingwood's best players (he may have even said he was their best). Lo and behold, last night he starts on the pine. Given his track record one can only assume that Malthouse was lying again!. It is pathological with this bloke. He was one of the...

Great that he is standing uo when games need to be won.

Particularly as the biggest query over him has always been endurance

Time for some horn blowing... with the Pies well on their way to knocking off the Hawks tonight, it seems that once again we are showing teams how to play football. Sydney, North (after a 104 point belting) and now Collingwood. Funnily enough this is exactly what happened at the start of last year. ...

Who will play on Pavlich if Fisher moves forward?

Absolutely. If anything, I'm glad this happened now and not Round 14

only caught the tail end, 6 weeks before he can start running again, 2 weeks until he starts strengthening - i didn't hear if he mentioned when he can start playing but it all sounded quite positive (as expected)

on now

Even as Saints fans I think we sometimes underrate just how good Max was. Almost unanimous praise by modern forwards as their toughest opponent, pretty big shoes to fill. I am far from the biggest Dawson fan but he is always going to be marked harshly. Similar to being a spin bowler for Australia. Z...

serious tendon injury - not off the bone (ABC)

Just said on ABC that 6 players (from both sides) going in for scans.. including Kosi

I used to think the same about Scenario 3 but I've come to realise this is rubbish. Roo is an exceptional player and a massive loss but the structures in place are designed to be reasonably personnel independent. If this scenario does play out then Kosi has a massive role to play this year but remem...

Would think McEvoy is ahead of Stanley at this stage and Raph might come into the picture and either play up forward or down back so we can send Fisher/Goddard up there. Hard to swap like-for-like with Roo as there is nobody like him and we will have to rejig the structure in any case, quite possibl...

Fisher and Howard goorne

Beg to differ

No complaints about the draw, 7 Friday nights is a great result

Have heard that he and many of his teammates were not on speaking terms.. take that for what you will

Macaffer and pick 30 would do me just fine

Best of luck X, hope your body can hold up, no hard feelings.

Bit of extra room in the cap now too...

16 for Lovett is a fair trade. Can't say I'm happy though. Lots of talk why the Bombers were so keen to get rid of him and not just the incident with his ex. Hope he can get his attitude right because he will be an on-field asset if so.
