Despite the media panning the Pies for getting rid of a proven coach in favour of an unproven rookie... Despite the Buckley haters coming out of the woodwork after getting smashed in Round 3 with half-a-team out... Despite loosing Taz, Brownie, Heater, Tooves, BJ, Swan, Pendles, Ball, Caff...

Since 1990 - no teams has won more than three premierships in the AFL area Brisbane 3 (2001,2002,2003), runners up 1 (2004) Geelong 3 (2007,2009,2011), runners up 3 (1994,1995,2008) West Coast 3 (1992,1994,2006), runners up 2 (1991,2005) Adelaide 2 (1997,1998), runners up 0 Collingwood 2...

I've identified seven of this years top eight teams should return to finals footy next year. Natural improvement in team such as Melbourne, Adelaide and North Melbourne should make the race for the final spot hinge on the results of the last round of the home and away season. Geelong and the...

Three and counting... Once at the game yesterday Again at 5:30 this morning Again at 2:30 this arvo (with MMM commentary)

If Goddard goes, then so does: Jolly for the whack to Kosi BJ, Didak and Milne for jumper-punching Wouldn't surprise me if someone was cited, given the fact there is double-demerits for the Grand Final (meaning a minor offense with 5-year goodwill will cost you one game even with a guilty...

Should be held in such lofty heights with Jezza's Mark in the 1970 GF, and Leo Barry's in 2005. Awesome mark :)

A few more... Moneybags (Goldsack) The Caf (Macaffer) Dipper (Pendlebury) Hank (Maxwell) Daisy (Thomas) Roids (Johnson) Presti/Perry Como (Prestigiacomo) Swandog (Swan) Chopper (Reid)

Yep - 1977 http://stats.rleague.com/afl/seas/1977.html#lad

I was genuinely worried about Richmond being the basketcase of the AFL for the next few years (given the draft concessions to the new clubs) after being 0-9 midway through the year. While loving the Pies being at the top of the ladder, i've genuinely enjoyed watching games involving Richmond...

Got my tix for the game just after the Freo game - nosebleed section of the AFL Members - should almost be sold out by now. If MCC turns up - expect at least 92K.

Final scores/goalkickers ...

Congrats to Ablett, a worthy winner - not even Swan could have caught the Son of God with 30 votes. But would have expected the Great Dane to get a lot more votes than he did. Some of the things that don't add up: Collingwood polled all 6 votes in only five games this year, despite winning 15...

I feel pretty gutted for you right now - was cheering the doggies all the way. Better luck next year - nasty feeling i'll be joining you this time tomorrow

Collingwood (obvious) Bulldogs (have a soft spot for them, love to see them win it) Geelong (don't hate them, but only because I put Saints last) St. Kilda (pure unadulterated hate - will not stop hearing about it for years)

No troll mate - supporters of any team that have won 10 of 11 have a right to feel a little bullish about their team. The only thing is that bar Hawthorn (one game, oa loss) and Richmond (one game, playing them this week) we've beaten every team below on the ladder at least once, and turned...

McCarthy goals Coll 11.11.77 Werribee 4.12 36 Mistake in previous post :-(

ROCCCAAAAAAAAAA !!!!!!! Goal !!!!! Collingwood 11.11 77 Werribee 4.12 36

I'll throw in my two cents: 2002 Round 18 -beating the scum by 108 points 2002 Qualifying Final - winning the qualifying final, Licca getting 40 touches 2002 Grand Final - losing the GF, Licca and MM after the game 2003 Qualifying Final - Didak's two goals in the last qtr 2003 Brownlow Medal -...

Harry has always had interests in causes outside of football, given his unique background, and likes using the media as an outlet for communicating those experiences. Dying by someones own hand is tragic under any circumstance, leaves many questions unanswered for a family after the act...

Swan gets lots of disposals Judd gets less disposals than Swan but is far more damaging with them Verdict: Judd (he's elite - D. Swan is one rung below, an A-grader) A response to the comparison between Judd vs. L. Davis for the first nine rounds would be interesting...

From a Collingwood perspective I can see only four players having any chance of being AA this year: L. Davis - dead certainty (at HF or F) unless he does his knee in the next few weeks S. Prestigiacomo - borderline at the moment, if not selected in the 18 he will miss the 22 as they don't pick...

What a legend - A 33-year old polling 22 votes :eek: I remember going to Collingwood-Richmond games just to bag the crap out of Richo - I have appreciated in the last three years how much he loves playing and bleeding for the jumper. We don't have many players like that in the competition...

We have picks 11, 29, 45, 61, 77 and so on... Both Melbourne and West Coke Eagles finished on less than 5.5 wins so they each get a bonus second round draft pick (hence the 18-player gap between 11 and 29).

Pies by 25 Crowd: 84800

The difference between Voss and Buckley after retirement: Buckley's reputation has been enhanced for his extensive knowledge of the game and his ability to offer unbiased commentary during football games; and is not scared to shirk the big issues in football (this opinion is universal) Voss'...

As much as I wish the plague on the Saints on Saturday Night, I will be saluting one of the consummate professionals of the VFL/AFL for the last 20 years. I will be clapping him off the arena, irrespective of the Pies winning or losing. Couldn't forget all of those games where the Harvs...

Got my six AFL members tickets - P16 in the Great Southern Stand Should be a real corker - 85000 people going right off their collective faces - and saluting a champion player that I will have the pleasure of witnessing for the last time in his career: R. Harvey.

He will be at Collingwood next year. I'll put my house on it. If not, that cardboard box that came with my brand new LCD TV looks pretty comfy :p I genuinely believe that he wants to make amends for his stupidity - lying to the club tears at the very foundations of a club and he has become very...

All we can do is shaft ourselves from here (in respect to the draft) ;) Loss in Week 1 - finish 8th - get Pick 9 Loss in Week 2 - finish 6th - get Pick 11 Loss in Week 3 - finish 4th - get Pick 13 Loss in GF - finish 2nd - get Pick 15 Win GF - finish 1st - get Pick 16

No... at least not this year. Out of the five remaining teams in the finals Collingwood has the measure on two of them (Saints and Swans, beat both teams twice this year), same chance against the Doggies (lost by 10pts), and have form against Geelong (losses by 15 and 5pts last year, win by...
