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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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.... ;)
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
