In fear of getting a follow up red I will say nothing but to say it was well deserved. -

[giggle]

Buck up, boyo!

Got a yellow one m'self recently, on my first foray to another BF forum.

A newcomer to posting on BF (tho' a longtime lurker) I sailed wing n' wing into uncharted waters...

And thus...

An innocent poke of fun led to ruffled feathers n' Squawks...and consequential branding.

No idea wot the significance woz - a Scarlet Letter or Badge of Courage?

I can only hope it does not affect my credit rating nor eligibility to renew my passport...

Anyway, in the end we kissed and made up.

Yes well my indiscretion was on the Polls board where I went that little bit too far.

Greeting carded on Bigfooty is worse than getting a blemish on your credit rating.

Anyway back to footy. Can't wait for tomorrow's game. With Collingwood's injuries it has evened it up a bit I think.

Should be a cracker.

Folks,

The team selection conversation that was here has been moved to here

Here's the explanation ...

Hey all,

...

We've decided to go with a separate thread this year for team selections.

It will work much better if someone from the board gets it up ASAP after the teams are announced.

As you can probably tell the mods often won't get it up quick enough. This was as soon as I could do it for example.
...

Any comments or feedback about doing things this way are welcome here

Quicky
Swooop

If you are you seriously suggesting that a minor example such as this is some kind of threat to Collingwoods identity, then you are being absurd.

It's game related clip in a game related thread on a very slow day.

As BE stated, we hosted your skipper on our club website earlier this week. No North supporter has raised issues about this, and personally, I think it's a good thing.

Here's the clip:

Take a chill pill it's not as if I'm declaring pistols at dawn! I'm just a bit iffy on the branding, simple.

If I thought it was the issue you seem to be making of it I would have reported your post in order to be removed (which would have been juvenile). Feel free to chat to the mods because they're most accommodating and they will confirm that my post stating I was uncomfortable with it is as far as it went

FWIW if we had Andrew Swallow on the Collingwood site doing an interview I would have been equally miffed with it. BE feels that cross promotion is good, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that, I just have a differing opinion.

That's a great idea!

Out of interest, do all opposition teams provide a spokesman for that?

Not sure, this is the first time we've done this and by all reports it has been well accepted. North promoted the Maxwell and Bucks interviews heavily via emails and twitter to its members.

Went to North open training today. Majak wasn't there, won't play. Petrie and Tarrant especially looking ultra sharp up forward. Harper training with midfield group. Atley looks to be in red hot form.

Should be an absolute cracker.

Wouldn't be at all surprised to see Scott send Harper or Bastinac to run with Swan. Both can run all day with him and can hurt the other way. Scott also likes to put young blokes he rates onto out and out champs like Swan to "learn" and challange them.

Thanks for your input, DOP...

Continuing Ejuhmuhkayshun's always a good thing.

I'm sure we've all all learnt a lot from your generous sharing of information about your players and coach.

Beats th' snot outta th' ubiquitous n' moronic kneejerk bagging of opposition teams n' supporters.

Will I be able to just walk up today??

 

[BEEG]

Nth I am pretty confident will give us a spanking with the outs we have

Surprised at the odds

Be More Confidence that that.

I can see us North Beating us but I don't think it be a Flogging.

This Game Reminds me of 2010 when we played the Dogs in RD 1 at the Dome and I thought we would be Beaten but we won
