Before you keep going with this silly attack on a fellow Pies supporter, I think you will find that Drafted Hawk is a good friend of the said player and definitely knows what he is talking about.

Agree with OP. The list for 2014 looks excellent. We may go backwards for a time due to inexperience, but we could also make top 4. I wasn't a big wrap for adding Lynch, Young and Russell last year but the addition of White, Adams and Karnezis this year looks so much better. I would expect the...

\ MM had been at Collingwood for 9 years without a premiership. McGuire gave him plenty of time. How many years do coaches at Carlton last without a premiership? About half that time. Mick was offered a cushy coaching job for $1 million a year. If it was a sacking, it was the softest sacking in...

Don't know what the deal is with Varcoe, he looks a shadow of the player that played in the 2011GF. How about Shaw and our second round pick for Motlop. Or Shaw and pick 10 for pick 15 and Motlop. We don't have a single crumber in the whole club. And Shaw would help you guys be right in the...

Next year my ideal team would be: B: Josh Hunt Lachlan Keeffe Alan Toovey HB: Paul Seedsman Nathan Brown Ben Reid CEN: Heath Shaw Scott Pendlebury Harry O'Brien HF: Tim Broomhead Travis Cloke Steele Sidebottom F: Quinten Lynch James Podsiadly Paul Chapman FOLL: Brodie Grundy Dayne Beams Dane...

Sacriledge Quicky!!!! ITCOTCK is probably my all time fave rock album. I can still remember when it came out. Which in those days was about 6 months after the UK release. PLayed it endlessly for months. Still listen to it today. A timeless classic or as Pete Townsend of the Who declared ''an...

The great man's unique take on Summertime

My favourite of Jarrett's improvised concerts

Genius is often a word that is used too often when talking about musicians. Not with Keith Jarrett. The scene is Cologne, Germany, in January, 1975. On stage is a Steinway Grand piano. Keith Jarrett walks on with absolutely no prepared music or program to play. That was the only plan in this...

Brilliant voice, brilliant singing,mesmerisingly good song. The brief was to write a song as per a troubador outside the old castle. Nailed it!

My fav 2 Traffic songs

Never a huge fan of this band but the outro that starts at about 4:20 transports this from a simple pop song to something special

Just curious. Your business is on level 1 of the Westpac Centre?????? Your mate is head physio at Collingwood?????? I was informed by a Carlton supporter that is a customer of mine a few months back that Daisy said his ankle is stuffed and he will be lucky to play another season. Both daisy...

100% agree with Collingwood's stance. Why? Daisy injured his ankle towards the end of 2012, went surfing instead of having the operation(pissed the club off no end) and wasn't ready for the first few rounds of the year. Injured his ankle again after a few games and instead of having a...

Playing games to delay Carlton's manouvering in the draft period??????????

Daisy is a very close friend with the guy's son. Has been for years. I am not making the claims, I am simply telling you what was related to me. As I said, I can't say it is 100% correct because I was not present when the conversation took place. As this is your rumour file, it appeared...

No, given what I believe to be true, I'm glad he has gone. He was a great player when fit, and for his part, I hope he gets back to be the player that he was in 2010-2011. The only possible liar in these posts of mine would be the Carlton supporter who told me the story. In your case though...

It is a true story, you can believe what you like. If semantics are at stake, I would suggest that August is not last month as we are currently in October and the last month was September. Maybe Carlton have discovered a miracle cure.

Has the Colin Garland deal gone through yet? Was it Pendlebury,Cloke plus picks 10 and 11 in the draft. What a steal for us!!!!

By several months ago, I mean late August. Secondly, I don't post much on Big Footy, particularly the last few years. And thirdly, I did post on the Collingwood board what transpired. Perhaps you mised it. It was a story that was related to me. I can't verify that it is 100% correct as I...

Just letting you know what transpired. The guy who told me the story is a Carlton supporter. He also told me he would be pissed off if Carlton did the deal. "Hope he stays at f**** Collingwood" were his parting words. Anyway if the risk works out well for Carlton, you've picked up a top 20 AFL...

I agree with your sentiments, but it has all been rumours so far. Premiership sides do tend to do well out of this period. We picked up Ball and Jolly in 2009, Had we not, there would be no 2010 Premiership. Hawthorn over the last few years have picked up Gibson(North's best defender)...

Interesting post. It might be correct. A customer of mine is part of a horse racing syndicate with Dale Thomas and Dane Swan. He told me several months ago that Dale Thomas told him at a syndicate function that his ankles are shot and that he will be lucky to last another year in the AFL...

Are you dumb enough to think contracts mean anything when clubs can smell a deal? Does the name Michael Malthouse ring a bell ? Or Heath Shaw? He has a current contract.

Hysterical rants like this diatribe do little to advance your arguments. If more positive supporters( your take not mine ) are your go, why don't you stick to reading the many posters who set the bar so low you'd have to do a limba dance to get underneath. I'm sorry but I am not satisfied with...

Why? Why do we have to be the loser in this deal? Shaw is a far better player than Smedts and Duncan. Unless we can get a player of the calibre of Motlop, I would not get rid of Shaw.

WTF are you on about. I am suggesting if we get rid of Shaw, we need a top 22 player that fits our needs eg Motlop. If we want a free agency player, I am suggesting Nick Dal Santo with his elite kicking skills fits our need. That's called foresight, not hindsight. You don't settle on second or...

If you can't argue without personal attacks, you are just wasting my time. Negative people are the ones who resort to personal attacks As a little exercise, find another person in this universe that agrees the Collingwood players you named are as good with their kicking skills as the Hawthorn...

Heath Shaw also has a contract for another 1 or 2 years. Things can be negotiated, Good clubs get deals they need done. Look at Hawthorn. They piched North's best defender in Gibson, the Bulldogs best defender in Lake, Port Adelaide's best player in Burgoyne and Adelaide's best 3rd tall forward...

I'm sorry but from those 3 forwards you will only get about 70 goals for the year. With Cloke kicking 60 odd of them
