The good No new injuries!!! Harrison developing very nicely. Pressured the whole game. He’s not losing his spot no matter who is coming back. Yet another incredible game by Nick. Herculean effort by Moore. And Maynard. We did very well in the first and third quarters despite the outs. New...

Um, what do you expect with Elliott, Mihocek, McStay, McInnis, Cox and Richards all out? 🤔

With TJ being named emergency, is this the first time we’ve seen one of last year’s draft class in the mix? That kind of thing used to happen all the time (I remember once we named two recent draftees in a round 1 game) Under the Fly regime that kind of thing doesn’t happen unless you’re Nick...

ps. The protocol states 12 day min. That assumes that players are able to pass each step in the protocol without delay (eg: being symptom free). I guess that hasn’t been the case.

Carmichael has been multiple. Cox will be multiple - but we don’t know if that will be because of concussion.

* right circles

But is he intending to put his best foot forward to leave no stone unturned to play his role?

If we win this it’ll be a testament to our resilience … … at least four forced changes this week (out Cox, Mihocek, Pendlebury, Richards), Five changes last week Two changes the week before that Four changes the week before that

In Sydney, it’s a status / demographic thing. It’s why Swans couldn’t get out of Stadium Australia quick enough. All their supporter base is contained in eastern suburbs + inner west + northern beaches.

+ not a good look to see Collingwood players run past Ginnivan to chase down Ginnivan’s player.

Buckley stays a little longer Carlton get Fly We end up with Voss Thank-you Dom Sheed ❤️

+ we now have a permanent link with him …. … Premiership player, Premiership reunions, lifetime membership, etc

$110K to have lunch with a 19yo footballer? NicNat’s doing a lot of the heavy lifting there.

Whining about being a Premiership player … … gee, he’s come along way from being pick 13 in the rookie draft barely three and a half years ago. Stay humble Jack.

Going by round 12 injury update: Round 12 v WB at Docklands Bytel expected back from concussion (if gets through training) Howe is expected back (if gets through training) Round 13 v Melb (King’s Birthday) at MCG Reef? (back from concussion?) Earliest Elliott will be back Earliest Eyre will...

You have to laugh, otherwise you’d cry

“2024: How Collingwood defended their Premiership” is going to be one hell of a story

Feel free to pull any positive rumours out of any cesspit you desire (I heard that Harley Reid is trying to get to Collingwood!!) It’s the negative ones you need to take care with

I watched it on Friday night. It was broadcast on Kayo. Disappointing, the end was inconclusive ☹️

For exactly the same reason clubs defend their players when they do something dumb. You’ve got to support them in public. But that doesn’t stop you from reading them the riot act behind closed doors.

“Wasting time” isn’t just about teams using the game clock to their advantage. It’s also about running the game to schedule for the broadcasters, public transport, ground staff who are working, fans not wanting games to go on forever. If having the clock stopped meant it wasn’t possible to...

(a) Why pick on an umpiring call? There were plenty of examples where the game was decided by our own screw-ups that were within our control. (b) There were plenty of umpiring decisions that went in our favour over the course of the game.

It’s an imperfect game by design. The ball is oval. It’s (usually) played under whatever weather conditions nature dishes up. Sometimes it’s played in the daytime, other times at night. But no matter what random element gets thrown in - including the umpires and their rule interpretations...

We didn’t draw Friday night’s game because of the umpires. We drew it because of dozens of mistakes made by our own players - which we’ll learn from. And that’s a good thing, because we can learn from and control our own behaviours. We can’t change a thing about the umpires apart from what...

Umpires need to make a kazillion black and white interpretations of a game that’s got so many shades of grey. Sure, sometimes the umpires make a contentious black and white call out of a shade of grey. But the AFL quite reasonably aren’t going to hang their umpires out over those. Especially...

The clubs always stick up for their players (unless it’s irrefutable) The AFL always stick up for the umpires (unless it’s irrefutable). They have to. Nobody else does. They need to recruit them at all levels. They need retention at all levels.

Fortunately for us, you could say that about 6 of our small forwards at the moment (Harrison, Richards, Hill, McCreery, Schultz, and Elliott) Somebody has to get left out when Elliott comes back. Hard to imagine it’s Elliott because his scoreboard impact is so much higher than the others ATM.

Did you really watch the replay of that game? That’s hard core
