Nothing like a history lesson on BF - I've been misled all these years!!

You Philistines are all in need of a cultural education. It is John Belushi's famous line from Animal House.

Toga, toga...

thought I was missing something - but just chucked it in anyway
should I delete that post or live with the ignominy?

Toga, toga...

I'm not fooled by that

just had lunch at Bistro Thierry - in between gigs!

quite nice!!

packed - no sign of any economic downturn in there!

Good spot. A mate lives around the corner and we go there often.

Coincidentally it was only around the corner at the Mt.Erica (whilst eating a solo lunch of 3 pots and 1 burger) where I typed my post of hope!

261 minutes on field for 2 marks inside 50 (1 Adelaide last year, 1 Carlton this year) and 1 contested mark (Adelaide last year).

And everyone else would be wrong...

The key stats for Madgen was the 56% disposal efficiency and 9 turnovers!

The only player who won his position on the night and therefore our best was Moore with his 11 intercept possessions and 100% disposal efficiency.

Yet Treloar getting 32 possessions on the weekend at 48%DE with 6 turnovers is apparently showing the world exactly why we should have retained him.... go figure.

Madge has had what about 3 of his 25 games where his DE% has been <70% across his career, is more often >80%, even >90%, yet that’s the deciding factor for you on a wet slippery night at the G.... okay, whatever. Definitely among my best performed Pies players on the night.

I’ve seen nothing to suggest that T Brown is physically ready

Might have a big slug...who knows

That’s really deep man.

 

[Scodog10]

do we have a bunker to hide in?

Not sure about you, but I’m making preparations. It’s going to be a few long cold winters before we see a winning season again

 

[manicmagpie]

Just remember to tip Collingwood.

I will and I’ve got a great rationale for it, too.

 

[magpies42]

I cant believe we fielded the oldest team of anyone in round 4.
It's just so Nathan to continue to play 30+ yr olds.
Greenwood will no doubt be selected in the side this week just as Mayne was the weeks prior.

Everything changes but nothing changes at Collingwood.

You can only play the players that are ready to go. Most of the kids and developing players didn’t have much game time last year.

I’ve been reliably informed that the only measure of a winning season is a premiership. Given most of us have only seen two of those, I’m prepared to wait a little longer.

Please pass on to those reliably informed individuals that a winning season is where you post more wins than losses. A premiership season is a premiership season.

That's what tyler said

Nasty image there

 

[mooregoth]

Do not start 2 negative wingers again ,Madgen and Mayne was just a defeatist attitude right there GWS would've looked at that and said we've got them from the first bounce , with Tay out Cal has to show us what he's made of and keep him in the guts not forward at all , if sier is out then play Maynard in the guts , we need grunt , keep goo in the 50 arc and keep it clear , Steele and Daics on the wings .

Yeah.. the Madge is very good at grabbing a hold of the pill free in the back 50.. and launching it 30 meters sideways.. to a bloke who is free.. or just launching it down the line to a contest.. wouldn't logic suggest that playing in the midfield.. under pressure.. to make a good play.. result in more errors when disposing of the pill?

 

[BringouttheGimp]

You can get a shitkicker libero from the A-league to play in that position for Liverpool and he'd have a higher DE% than Mo Salah re..

 

[jackcass]

261 minutes on field for 2 marks inside 50 (1 Adelaide last year, 1 Carlton this year) and 1 contested mark (Adelaide last year).

There have been a number of occasions where he hasn’t clunked those lead-up marking opportunities but has gained the free for arm chops or push in the back so it’s not all doom and gloom.

 

[danielnajdek]

Treloars disposal sucks. Not sure why people are saying otherwise. Thought they'd know that watching him over the years.

I was there not long ago - better than Francios me thinks.

On another note, clearances out of the middle reduces stress on defence!!!

If our list as it currently stands still has cap issues, then our focus may as well be 2025...
