I wish we'd gone after Stengle with the chequebook last year, to fill that need.
(Too late now, but to be honest, I reckon the smaller brigade in our forward line has done ok this year, anyway, with the wings/midfielders pushing up front-and-square a lot, too)
Don't need a 6ft 4 ruck who loses 95% of ruck contests, when you already have a 6ft 10 ruck who loses 95% of ruck contests (centre bounce, at least - he's not too bad around the ground).
Or a Tyson Stengle type? I was a bit annoyed we didn't take the gamble.
On the topic of Shai Bolton, I remember being as pissed off that he was taken the pick before us, as I was when Selwood was taken pick before us. (Although neither as bad as swapping Clinton King & pick 3 for Steve McKee &...

If I recall correctly, I think players whose careers are ended by an injury suffered during a match - Dane Swan, for example - get a lump sum payment of some sort.
And JPod did the same didn't he?
(I thought we had the 2011 GF in the bag when he went down, and then up sprung TommaHawk for what was possibly a career best match, at that stage)
100% my initial reaction: much more surprising than the fact that Lovett has been accused of such behaviour/actions.
Bring back the thread title, too, mods! I saw it, but didn't appreciate it for what it was, at the time!
Oh, I've heard this one before: the old "your teammates don't even want you at the club" trick...
Seriously though, I'm more than happy with waiting for the facts to come out. Some quotes from the police posted earlier do not paint a great picture, but the cynic in me expects the sequence of...
Wrong:
Similar to others, I recall thinking during some of Swannie's early matches, that he'd never make it. Certainly some humble pie which prevents me from judging players so early nowadays
I thought the second coming of Beams meant a 2019 flag was a fait accompli
Damian Houlihan, Aaron...
If it were to go to a hard nut, who the team should follow into battle, I'd probably go Maynard, given that he's got a couple of years on Adams, and long-term, I suspect he's more likely to stay on the field (durability and skills wise). Nathan Jones was a pretty good leader at Melbourne...
My opinion is that board members (CEO aside) should be Collingwood people, with an established history of such support.
Staff involved in the running of the club - be that back office, front office (such as CEO alluded to above) or coaching/playing staff, should be best available for the...
Not sticking up for her - her historic patterns of behaviour seem dubious, to say the least - and I won’t be signing up to the course, but typically it would be “general in nature without taking into account your personal circumstances, blah blah” if it were a generic course, wouldn’t it?
Might...
For me, I’m seeing Lachie Keeffe, and that’s not any improvement on Madgen at all, just my player analogy.
Madgen did play the game of his life a couple of rounds back, but I don’t really rate either Madgen or Keeffe.
I’m more than happy with players being Presti/Nathan Brown types, who seemed...
That’s an interesting stat.
I’ve noticed Sidebottom butcher it consistently, but not so much Daicos.
I’d like to know if a new Hawthorn player (Phillips) was towards the bottom as well?
If I recall correctly, Macaffer also corroborated, to some extent
Based on what I’ve been reading, the events dealt with in the report are historic, and some have already been addressed in part since they’ve become known. Why not let the current board continue to implement what is already in...
She doesn’t like receiving unsolicited dick pics, so she sends an unsolicited dick pic to a client of the business - and that gives her moral high ground?
From a Collingwood perspective, I’m hoping that the Stephenson career trajectory follows the same as, say a Cam McCarthy, or perhaps a Jared Brennan, but I fear this won’t be the case. Not sure if these are great/fair comparisons, but I won’t enjoy watching him play well without a Collingwood...
