So we lose a preseason game and suddenly we are a write off. I wonder how the media and fan speculation would be if you swapped the Bulldogs and Hawks games around. Lets wait until this season is at least 5 rounds in before we start judging where we are. We could quite even go 5 - 0 with the...
Purchasing the Anzac pack guarentees you a seat. They are pretty high up but you still get to go. I was planning on going this year but the only seats I could get was right at the very top and not really worth flying down from North QLD for that. I will come down later in the year where I can...
I would wish him best of luck in his new role I don't think anyone could begrudge someone leaving the club for a senior coaching job was anyone mad at McKenna or Nield when they left?
I think the big question is has our list improved as a whole from last year. To look at this we don't just look at who we trade in and out but who is currently in the squad.
Firstly trades which are most likely best 22 - 26
in Greenwood, Varcoe... questions on pick 5 and Moore will they play...
This is an a great question.
I think Bucks is a good coach but Hinkley seems to be something special. I don't rate Port's list but boy are they a good side.
As much as I'm not sure if Buckley can take us all the way I think it is too soon to rush on Buckley because there were 2 coaches...
Techincally speaking the deal is not solely with Brisbane and is part of a 5 club deal so the deal is not exclusive to Brisbane therefor not really going back on their word as they have included other clubs as stated in the deadline that they would speak to the other clubs. But realistically it...
Pendlebury and Cloke for me, 2 guys who can win a game off their own back. I hope Clokey can get some more support from the other forwards this year and better delivery to him I'm so glad to see the back of Lappin
I can only assume you listed players you think are close to making way? Strange that a player who is being floated around as the best tagger in the game at the moment is in that list.
I think any player would have to keep performing better then players in the VFL to retain their spot...
Langdon is no hope of making it, he has been awesome for a first year player but far from top 40 in the league.
Jack Frost must be a chance how many goals has he had kicked on him this year against the best forwards? I'm surprised he isn't leading the Golden Fist.
Pendles and Beams should...
I actually find it hard to split Swan and Pendles. Swan has already done it with hopefully Pendles about to achieve it but....
Swan multiple Copeland winner, AFLPA player of the year winner plus a brownlow medallist. If not for he who should not be named would have won more. Could he be the...
Always value your opinions jonebe54 your one of the better posters on here :) I think its more we have different opinion of flashy. I'm not fixated on him I just believe he is the best to ever play and that is just my opinion.
Not high flying marking flashy but the way he glides through and spins and dances through congestion looks pretty flashy to me. Ablett Snr was a hog always took shots from the boundry when he should have centred them.
Ablett Snr had more raw talent but the hard work Jnr has put in is what has...
A few one eyed supporters here. I love Pendles he is my favourite player but he is a fair way behind Ablett. Ablett Jnr is a better player then his dad by a fair way as good as Ablett Snr was he really was a hog and not much of a team player, Ablett Jnr is in my opinion the best player to ever...
I've always been a harsh critic of Sinclair but really at such a low pick he hasn't done to bad. For some reason I had in my head he was taken a lot higher
Back to OP
Low picks that have started well in recent years in the initial draft not including rookie upgrades. Some started better then others and some have become handy players.
It also seems Collingwood has done pretty well down the low end in the last 7 years but of course I know more...
I was considering balance, just because a guy is tall doesn't mean he isn't quick. You couldn't sub White for Lynch or Hudson for example. I think it could be done and may just make us a very strong unit.
I don't think I have enjoyed watching a game so much as I did the first 3 quarters last night. Well done to the crowd you were the extra player on the field that tagged Daisy. He got every bit he deserved. It's the manner in which he left for Carlton is why he should be so hated. Left not...
I wonder if there is a spot for Witts, Grundy, Cloke, Reid and White all in the same team without Reid playing back. White and Reid both can play further up the field and can drift back forward. White has the ability to play well at ground level as be a marking option when required. This also...
I wouldn't lose to much heart. I would question the manner in which they played the second quarter more then anything. The bombers are awesome when they are fast and running and are good enough to beat any of the top teams. When Collingwood got their first 2 goals for some reason the bombers...
Normally a very optimistic person I must say I was extremely worried about Collingwood's opening 6 rounds and thought this block would define our season and even my predictions were not good.
I have heard many pies supporters write the team off at the start of the year thinking we couldn't...
He is no scapegoat he is just not consistently in our best 22. He is an average footballer who does not use the ball well and makes poor decisions. He is an excellent tackler and I will never question his endeavour or pace but he just doesn't have the skill set to be a good AFL player. He has...
KENNEDY OUT!!!!!!!!!! This makes me so angry how he is dropped yet Sinclair left in is beyond me. Kennedy has looked great in the preseason was one of the few players last week to show something in the quarter he was given and I was stumped last week why he didn't start. Great to see White in...
Not sure of the rules for links so mods please edit but on Ninemsn today.....

Swan/Witts baby is a possibility
