I'm nearly 40 and have seen 7 GF losses. If people want to question why we're always on the losing end of a GF they're more than entitled to. MM's GF record with us is worse than our historical record. I've had a gutful of it, it won't stop me signing up next year but surely people are entitled...
Memo to Mick
As a Collingwood member I believe the club owes you little beyond what you’ve already received. From day 1 you received a pay packet equal to if not greater than any other AFL coach and while I’ve been happy enough with you and where the club has been during your tenure, the fact...
I thought it was Heater's best game in ages.
Well done young man, excorcised the demons for your Dad as well as you and your brother in one fell swoop!
If Goddard's mark last week was the best mark in a GF, surely that was the best smother seen in a GF........
At the start of the year I was rapt the Pies went for experience (Jolly and Ball) as opposed to more youngsters mainly because we had a few guys who hadn't proven themselves yet and it was make or break for them. Chris Dawes, Ben Reid (is he now the steak knives?) and Nathan Brown stand up and...
As someone who's nearing 40 and have now seen the Pies climb the mountain on two occasions now, let me say a big "thank you" to not only Mick, but also Eddie.
Not wanting to sound like a Logies acceptance speech but one should also thank the guys that battled and held the torch alight during...
If our past and also last week has shown us anything, it is that we just need to take our chances.
The guys have had a stroke of luck, they missed their chances but have another crack at getting the title. Surely someone like Bucks has had a word in their ear about how fortunate they are, how...
I have to agree whole heartedly with this thread. If 5 goals at home against the bottom teams of the ladder is good enough for 3 votes then Dunstall, Ablett, Lockett and Lloyd should be sharing 20 Charlies between them.
This was the most outrageous result of the night for mine.
I think it all depends on our start. If we can get a 4 or 6 goal first quarter we should be good from then on.
The key to beating the Saints is scoring against them when they are struggling which opposition teams fail to do a lot of the time (see us in 1st game this year and Dogs tonight)...
I support Collingwood the club, if we win 2 flags and change coaches I couldn't care less. As someone who's seen one flag in 38 years it's a problem I welcome - give me the two flags first though!
He's lived the dream of a young man growing up in Geelong and captaining them to a premiership.
In the cool light of day he'll look back and only smile at how well life has turned out for him.
Do you really want to bring up players off field form?
I can rattle off 3 Geelong players (past and present) that have blood on their hands and probably worse on their minds if you want to go down this path.
I thought you guys were robbed and if it wasn't for the umpires you would have been playing in your 4th successive GF.
I also thought Mooney was best on ground.
Yeah, and we never saw Stevie J or Cam Mooney do the same........
It's hilarious how Geelong supporters now carry on when before 3 years ago the last flag they won was in 1963!
Um, he was the steak knives wasn't he? We did okay given Reidy is now starting to turn into a quality defender.
Meds is okay, struggled with his fitness due to injury last year, I reckon he'll come back and be an important part of our finals campaign.
Tarrant is as flighty as the best of...
He's playing like a bloke who knows he's going to be paid no matter what for a couple of years.
We should have tried harder to trade him to the West last year while he still had currency. His current contract will more than likely be his last with us and that's a pity because we stuck with him...
Wouldn't matter if it was on FOXTEL tomorrow, I gave up on FOXTEL because I got sick of seeing Port and the Crows on both FOX and FTA TV at the same time.
A ridiculous situation in this state which means if there's another game on you'll never see it even if you do have FOX. I have $100 more a...
Gee,a damning story on the Crows - I can see why you lost all respect for her. I hope you don't have children, you'd probably lose all respect for them if they broke something and then lied about it to stay out of trouble.
As for Caro, she gets far more crap than other journo's who are a lot...
It almost seems to me that especially at throw ins if he doesn't get the front position straight away he pretty much concedes the contest for fear of giving away a free given what he's copped in the first few weeks.
Ruckmen from other teams and also in other games seem to hold the opposition...
I remember watching Adam Richardson playing in a local Geelong league, kicked 100 goals regularly but couldn't believe he was drafted so late in life by the Crows.
Was Gary Ayres coach then? West Coast tried the same thing with Troy Wilson for the same result, although Wilson at least played...
In saying that, just because a youngster is struggling in the SANFL doesn't mean he won't make the grade in the AFL. The game styles are a lot different and the skills a lot better, same with the VFL, WAFL or whatever. The Victorian kids who get drafted mainly come through the TAC Cup where...
Didn't Fergus Watts, who was in and out of the Crows team at the time kick 10 goals in a Prelim for the Eagles, get traded to St Kilda and was subsequently never heard of again?
He may have had injuries, not sure but I remember people like Chris McDermott screaming that Adelaide should have...
I found it a great read - polished it off in 3 days. I just thought it missed the happy ending.
I was interested in Buckley's thoughts about reviewing the 03' GF loss but Malthouse didn't want to. Seems to be a fair parallel between how we went for a couple of years after that and how well...
