    Game Day Round 10 vs. Fremantle, Sun 22/05, 5:20pm OS

    There were no passengers in that side. None. That was bloody brilliant to watch.

    Game Day Round 2, 2021: Carlton Blues v Collingwood Magpies @ MCG

    Loving the connection between mids and forwards. Time for another quarter of the same.

    Unofficial Preview Finals footy 2019

    Now we just need Brisbane to account for Richmond, and we can look forward to an "away" final against Geelong... at the MCG.

    Game Day AFL Round 17 - Matchday Discussion Collingwood@West Coast (Optus Stadium – 8:10PM EST)

    Against the reigning premiers, on their home deck, down Moore for most of the game. That, my friends, was a bloody important win.

    Preview JLT Round 1: Fremantle v Collingwood

    The game is being played on the Monday as it's a public holiday here in WA. Heading to the game, excited to get one of my few opportunities to see the boys run around.

    List Mgmt. Collingwood Trade Talk 2016 part 2 - see Mod Warning p 281

    I can clear up that confusion for you. Richmond's flog cap is a minimum, as opposed to a maximum, number of flogs on the list at any given time.

    Oppo Camp The Collingwood Board Finals Discussion 2016 (poll added)

    This is a very neat trick from Chris Scott. I didn't know you could teach cats to roll over and play dead.

    Autopsy Ben Reid injured again.

    Calling for an autopsy for a damaged knee might be a little harsh, though. Reidy's fragile, not dead.

    Analysis Pies by 12

    Franklin's highlights package longer than the package for our entire game. Still, we beat Carlton, and I'd take that every week if I could.

    Strategy Tom Langdon trade bait.

    Given a senior list of 40, having 12 players fighting for a spot in the back 6 isn't necessarily excessive. This year, we've used almost every backman we had available, and while a couple of the outs were due to form, mostly it was injury driven. We even had to pull Howe out of the forward line...

    Game Day AFL Round 11 - Collingwood vs Port Adelaide Matchday Discussion (MCG 1.10pm)

    Don't worry mate, one day Port will be able to afford a gameday thread, if they save their pennies.

    Oppo Camp Non-Pie Rd 11 Games

    I think I've coughed up harder things than Richmond.

    Are we a development team?

    A point to note (and I'm not having a go at you here) is that Moore is substantially younger than all of the other players you've named except Hogan. Lynch is 23 (87 games), Cameron is 23 (76 games), Daniher is 22 (55 games), Hogan is 21 (27 games); Moore is 20 (16 games). Purely on goalkicking...

    Level-Headed Discussion Round 5

    Really liked the way we went about it, particularly, for obvious reasons, the first half. Thought Oxley, Reid and the much-maligned Frost did a really good job down back. Loved seeing Reid dropping in to take intercept marks - we've missed his ability to read the play. Got me some box seat...

    Strategy Stagnant Ball Movement

    No, they're not. However, I think that a backline that looks something like this: B: Williams Brown (Toovey/Sinclair) HB: Oxley Reid Sharenberg Has a pretty good mix of run, intercept skills and accurate disposal. I'm fully cognisant of the kicking deficiencies of Frost and Maynard, and I...

    Strategy Stagnant Ball Movement

    Not particularly surprising, when you consider that (other than Reid and Browny) the backline against Melbourne was more-or-less our third string blokes. Oxley also disposes of the footy pretty well. Also, when I talk about "defensive half turnovers", I don't just mean "turnovers by our...

    Strategy Stagnant Ball Movement

    I don't have the stat in front of me, but I think the thing that truly crippled us against Melbourne, even in the second half when we were at least contesting, was defensive half turnovers. If you turn the ball over in your offensive half you at least have some chance of setting defensive lines...

    News Buckley, Pies agree to contract extension

    I'd argue that, rather than choosing not to say he would quit if the time came, he refused to give another Robbo beat-up air time. Probably the last thing a playing group that is pretty clearly shaky on confidence needs is the coach publicly announcing he'll quit if the going get tough(er).

    Preview Rd 5 Pies vs Dons (Cox, Smith, Frost, Maynard in squad, White out, team in OP)

    Witts still out recovering from split/infected webbing. Bring in Cox instead, perhaps?
