    Is Emu in our best?

    While I appreciate his endeavour.... To say he is in our best 22 after his display against the Giants might be a bit much. He goes out for him? Jamison, Henderson, Laidler, Duigan, Tuohy, Yarran - I can't see it - Sorry. But he's in our top 26 and that could prove very important over the coarse...

    Mega Thread Brett Ratten

    Re: Respect for brett ratten Firstly agree totally about Hawthorn.... However playing them at the MCG this year for the first time in quite a while - I think that will improve our chances as it does against Geelong. I also agree on the West Coast point.... I think we're a better side to them as...

    News Malthouse Vs McGuire

    I can answer that one... Should the Collingwood Football Club continue down the same path then obviously someone will need to be held accountable. Eddie ousted a tried and true premiership coach for an untried coach. Obviously at the time the deal was done, circumstances were quite...

    News Malthouse Vs McGuire

    I remember Eddie suggesting the the move was visionary and revolutionary. However I remember the wider football community thinking otherwise, while many including myself felt the repercussions could be devastating to some or all involved. I can understand how you'd want to defend a man that has...

    News Malthouse Vs McGuire

    When the deal was done the whole football world asked the same question.... "What if Mick has won or is in the process of winning a premiership?" At the time - I don't think anyone would have seen it. But what came to be was a very formidable Collingwood Unit! I remember thinking that Ed's love...

    Review Rd 3 - Coll vs Carlton - Postmatch discussion *It's time to vent*

    Do I really think that Carlton are a 10 goal better side than Collingwood...? No. Do I think that Carlton is however a better side than Collingwood (Both near full strength squads on the park) Yes! It would be remiss of me to suggest we already have our name on the Cup like a lot of bookies have...

    Judd/Murphy vs Swan/Pendlebury 2012

    AFL Rd 3 Collingwood v Carlton -Prematch Talk and Team Changes

    Um - I thought that was implied.... Obviously I placed far too much confidence in your ability to fully grasp what I've always thought to be a very common saying. Apologies.... ;)

    AFL Rd 3 Collingwood v Carlton -Prematch Talk and Team Changes

    Perception is reality.... Obviously my perception is a little different to yours and Mr Naturals' as well. I think your win last week wasn't as impressive as it should have been (You had 5 minutes). Thats it. Sure we were only 8 point in front at the beginning of the last term but we beat them...

    AFL Rd 3 Collingwood v Carlton -Prematch Talk and Team Changes

    While I see the point you've made (It's a valid one), there are a few others I think you might have skimmed over.... Last week we smashed the Lions because quite honestly.... We were allowed too. Last week Daisy had 5 minutes of brilliance because he was allowed to. Neither team will get that...

    Preview Rnd 3 Carlton v Collingwood @ MCG Friday 13th April 7.50PM - Team post #483

    Re: Rnd 3 Carlton v Collingwood @ MCG Friday 13th April 7.50PM Well said Parrot - But I will say it's been a long time since Carlton were better placed to knock over the Pies - I can't remember the last time Waite, Kruezer and Jamison all played in the same squad. You're right though...

    Best centre square starting four?

    It's true I agree.... Could be a very dangerous combination in years to come.

    Best centre square starting four?

    People seem to comparing Judd / Murphy to Swan / Pendlebury at the moment.... I'm guessing its the upcoming game tomorrow night. Like I said in another thread.... Carlton when comparing the top two midfield combinations is the stronger. But any great midfield group goes as deep as twelve.... And...

    Judd/Murphy vs Swan/Pendlebury 2012

    I'll try and be as unbiased as possible.... Marc Murphy reigning Coaches Award Winner (Although not the most prestigious award - by far the most accurate) - Better than Scott Pendlebury (But only marginally). Swan the reigning Brownlow Medalist - We could argue that a Coaches Vote is far more...
