That was a pretty brutal clip, classic jawbreaker in the right circumstance. Would to be looking at 2+, surely.

Looking to gauge where you all think we're at coming into Round 11, and facing a rough run of fixtures. The Pies' next 7 weeks is season defining. Goes without saying that we're going to lose some games, and possibly lose a couple hard. We've got the following games in the next 7 weeks: GWS @...

I'll be honest, I was ignorant to the plight of Carlton regarding it's membership drive and it apparently 'stalling' in December. This seems like a strange move to me though, any Blues supporters want to shed some light on what's happened in the membership realm...

So with the departure of Dayne Beams, Lumumba and the likely loss of Macaffer for the bulk of season 2015 we lose 3 of our top 5 from the 2014 Copeland Trophy. For reference, see the list below. 1. Scott Pendlebury 165 2. Steele Sidebottom 114 3. Dayne Beams 112 4. Heritier Lumumba 89 5. Brent...

I know we have been giving a lot of toasties to the likes of Langers, Frost, Keeffe and other individuals in the backline, but tonight highlighted just how well our back half (and even some of the formerly criticized mids) are working together to produce some fantastic defensive efforts despite...

Of everything that's come out today, I think this is pretty significant. The AFLPA are often at loggerheads with the AFL, but it seems they're on the same page with this one. If this is already being covered in one of the Mega Threads, feel free to merge...

I know it literally just happened, but this has to be the most significant injury we've received in a while from a strategic standpoint, and this raises a plethora of questions. Tooves going down is arguably the worst possible outcome because I honestly can't think of a single player to fill...

Did he stand up or what? He didn't get a massive amount of it as usual, but wowee did he take some great contested marks and slotted them when we critically needed them. It's almost as if he is a BF reader coz he copped an unwarranted pasting from some folks on this board, and he was there when...

So after watching approximately 2 and a half quarters of bloodbath I saw Leigh Brown eat up the forward line, Jolly have a great presence, and Wood actually getting some good hitouts to advantage and a few nice pieces of play - are we going to see this as an active feature going into September...

Obvious toasty here, but it had to be done! Of all the people who needed to stand up in a big last quarter, who would have expected it to be the Anvil? Tried his guts out, worked for it, and then executed perfectly. Absolutely top notch, and it reflects brilliantly on how we operate as a team...

After reading this article in the Herald Sun this morning which briefly talks about the paths footballers take after their careers are done, it made me wonder what obscure things some of the game's former biggest names are doing these days, and what some of the current stars of the game do...

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/schulz-leads-folau-on-a-merry-dance-20110312-1bsao.html Was this the inevitable outcome? I know that it was his first hit out, but can a guy who has never played our code at a competitive level, jump in the deep end and be competitive? I think you need...

Just curious to see how everyone else thought he did tonight. Personally I thought he had a great first half, was involved in a lot and his disposal looked good. Faded off a bit towards the end, but that's to be expected. Had been such a long time since I'd seen him play - definitely has promise...

Sorry if this has already been posted, the title pretty much sums it up, Peter Costello has a fairly rough dig at the AFL - especially footballers on school visits, in his Age column today. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/costello-shirtfronts-afl-20110215-1av3u.html This has a feeling...

So we got the chance to see an amazing game yesterday with some spectacular highlights, but the biggest standouts for me were those 1%ers that just turned the game on it's head. Heath and Dids provided the two biggest highlights imo with Did's smother-goal and Heater's smother on the line of the...

We've all done it, whether it be about a Collingwood player or coach, or an opposition player, what is the absolute worst call you have ever made? We all make them, so be completely honest and share your worst blunder of a prediction, or absolute condemnation of a now superstar. For me it was...

This is only my opinion, but imho I reckon Brad has done a fantastic job with the Roos and their developing list, and I really thought they were stiff not to make the top 8 in the end. The fact that he's so fresh into the senior coaching job, and he has clearly made an impact already is...

So Andrew Krakouer was released from prison in November last year after spending a year in the lockup following a serious assault charge, and has been playing in the WAFL this season and is tearing it up. Looks to be a monty for the Sandover Medal as well, averaging 25disp and kicking 32 goals...

So obviously we lost Ben really early tonight, the commentators said that it was a quad injury, but did anyone who might have been listening on the radio get any more info? Very, very shattered when it happened, after the season he has had the thought of him missing finals is gut wrenching...

http://www.collingwoodfc.com.au/injury%20list/tabid/14769/default.aspx Awesome to see that realistically we're looking at pretty much completely healthy senior list, with everyone likely available for selection including suspensions, for the first time in quite some time. Real purpose of...

So, I'm having a lot of people round for the game this weekend to celebrate the culmination of the uni semester. Was trying to formulate a good strategy to involve a drinking game into the football - does anyone have any suggestions? Obviously the name was too perfect of a fit, but it doesn't...

Looks like the AFL has decided to get serious about anti-doping finally, bringing in a sweeping lot of new changes which include: Always good to see the AFL working towards making the game a great deal safer from doping and illegal performance enhancing. Personally I can't believe that this...

Well crotch kickin' Michael Hurley went to court today, looks set to retain his clean criminal record, and the case has been adjourned until March 5th it would seem. However I may have laughed at this little gem in the HUN article today, in regards to him joining a court-ordered 'diversion'...

Sorry if this is a repost, had a quick search and couldn't find anything of this nature however! So TD's thread about old game roms got me wondering if there were any other Pies supporters on these boards who are into gaming at all, be it PC or console. For me I play a decent amount of Xbox...

Hey sportsfans, I was considering picking up the recently published Side By Side for my old man for X-Mas, and was wondering what the book was like. I checked out a couple of online reviews, but the people I was most interested in getting an opinion from are you gents (and ladies) of this board...
