    On the Meat Hook - Which Delisted Free Agent(s) will Collingwood recruit?

    Toy would be my choice out this list. Fits our need for a skilled rebounding defender.

    Cameron Wood .......what to do with him

    Although Cam has been disappointing, he is probably not as bad as many posters seem to believe. While I doubt he will ever reach a high level he provides a back up to the aging Jolly. Witts and Ceglar should get some gametime but are not yet ready to ruck for a full AFL game. Unless the club...

    News Paul Seedsman contract extension - 2 years

    Was unsure about him until the game up in Sydney. Has good speed, skills and poise and could develop into a high class player. His attitude seems to bode well for the future.

    News Non-Pie Trades

    Lake and Lynch both fill needs for the team recruiting them and are short term solutions. Difference is that Collingwood used Free Agency and Hawthorn spent 2 draft picks.

    Free Agency Thread

    When can this be done - are there specific dates? Probably we should wait until most trades are done to see who else is available. Seaby would be an upgrade on Wood as a backup ruck but still not a high priority.

    News Non-Pie Trades

    Great trade by the Dogs. Get rid of a player with dodgy fitness and attitude - even if he has high ability - who will be eligible for free trade next year. Instead of a maximum 3 years but possibly only 1 year they get 2 draft picks to build their future team.

    Knightmare's Collingwood List Management 2012

    Agree with this. We need players who can break the lines with speed or kicking skills. The probable loss of Wellingham should be used as an opportunity to trade for one of these players and later draft picks should focus on these as we now seem to have an abundance of tall prospects.

    Your favourite all time player never to play AFL / VFL

    Grew up watching this team and Baggie was easily my favourite. Barrie Robran however was the best player I've seen - his grace and skill always shone out.

    AFL Finals - Week one non Pies games discussion.

    Same where I was sitting. Even the Geelong supporters were showing concern and trying to figure out how serious the injury was. Never good to see a superstar go down.

    AFL Round 12 - Collingwood v Melbourne - Prematch Discussion Including Lozza63's Preview p5 #64

    Re: 3 out whos comming in this week? (predictions) Agree with the 3 suggested above but Ben Johnson could also be a possible replacement if fully fit. Hoping Fasolo will get his debut - had good reviews recently in the 2s and its always exciting to see a new player progress. Will probably be...

    Carlton Draught Match Centre

    Agree with you totally. Tried using it for the first time this year to follow West Coast and Sydney match. So slow and difficult to navigate I turned it off and went back to the FanFooty blog. The main AFL site has also taken a step backwards in its recent changes.

    If it were you, would you trade Anthony for Tarrant?

    Taz would only be backup for the senior team and then retire in 2 years time. Whats the point of trading for him. If we do want him, wait and use our last pick if no other teams want him.

    Battle of the Smothers: Heater or Did's??

    Heater - just so important to keep the opposition goalless early in the game.

    Norm Smith medal

    I would have preferred only one medal given out for the year. The clear winner would be Daisy Thomas, probably with Goddard second. Hayes was best on ground for the first week but couldn't repeat his heroics. The replay had a host of players who could have got votes - Pendles, Steele...

    No love for lazers?

    I stated on one thread that Beams was the days biggest disappointment. This does not mean that he should be dropped or that his effort was poor. just that he had a poor game. His performances over 2 years have raised high expectations. A new week., a new game, I hope he can have a greater...

    Review 100,016 Attend Pies' Training

    I liked how they even had so called entertainment before the match just like the rubbish normally served up by the AFL. Some better work on clearances still needs more practice. The folly of bombing the ball long into the St Kilda defensive Zone was well highlighted and we need to find...

    Brendon Goddard's Mark

    Had a good view from the wing, saw Goddard setting himself for the leap and was never going to miss. Great mark from a great player imposing himself on the game when it really matters.

    Toast Collingwood Supporters

    Best atmosphere at a Grand Final I have experienced since gettting my full AFL membership jn 2002. Both clubs supporters should be congratulated for giving full voice for the entire game. There was no feeling of neutral theatre goers clogging up the seats, just football lovers caught up in a...

    What happens with all the entertainment + build up next week?

    The pre-match entertainment was a joke, what was clever or entertaining about a tethered balloon. Play the national anthem at the right tempo so the crowd can join in if they want to. Half time should be returned to the Aus kick kids just like every other match. The sight of their...

    Player Review - GF

    Good review. Caf did a good defensive job on Gilbert on the first half - not sure of his second half match up after Gilbert went forward. Blair did enough to hold his place. Beams was perhaps the biggest disappointment of the day. The whole midfield needs to lift next week as Hayes killed...

    Preview Ray Chamberlain to umpire his first Grand Final.

    Chamberlain, Ryan & Roseberry have been named. Probably the best 3 umpires this year imo. Razor Ray has improved this year and no longer fills me with dread.

    Seating - Grand Final!

    AFL Members M14 row Y Getting excited now! Attended losses in 1981, 2002, 2003. Missed 1990 when I couldnt afford tickets so about time I saw us win the Cup.

    Toast Jarryd Blair

    Agree. Cant be dropped after tonights game and Sidebottom is probably the unlucky one to miss out. Good to have real competition for spots in the team.

    GF Tickets!!

    I also got my full membership in 2002. Great seats in 02 and 03. I have attended most Grand Finals since but missed out last year after trying to book on the phone or internet. Should have lined up but work gets in the way sometimes.

    Player Review vs Coasters

    I thought my mind was playing tricks. A dull game memorable for Didak's class and Jonnos right footer.

    Experience vs. Youth

    Age is irrelevant. Ability, form and fitness will be the deciding factors in picking the best team for each match. Competition to make the team helps motivate all players to work hard so having more than just 22 players capable of playing finals is important.
