Mason Cox should not even be brought up he could be alright down the line but would struggle to get a game in the ones at a suburban club next year
Ok, bit much an Essendon fan bagging other clubs when Essendon is in the worst shape out of any club in the comp

What does his club have to do with this topic? How does his club's position mitigate his opinion?

Exactly, I'm not bagging Collingwood. I genuinely believe that their list is a long way off top 8.
He is just here to bag out the Pies, he should spend more time focusing on his club that is in crisis then fantasize about the Pies going poorly next season

For saying Collingwood won't make finals? Ooh, what a villain!
Harden up, princess. For what it's worth, I don't think Collingwood will make finals either and I'll await some Collingwood supporter to quote me saying, "b-but neither will North!
"Mate you are bagging the club and everyone associated with it, there is nothing wrong with you not rating us but you are just throwing the "blame injury" to bate fans. Second post how it is put is fine first one makes you look like a flog
You would want to make finals you are bloody dads army not to meany years left in the list.For saying Collingwood won't make finals? Ooh, what a villain!

Apologies if you read it that way, was in response to someones earlier post.
I think your depth (and quality of it) has been smashed for six, particurlarly KPP the last few years. A lot of promising kids coming through (frost, grundy, witts, langdon & co the highlights) but will need another couple of years to run out a full season. After the injuries you copped this year the kids definitely got tired in the back half of 2014
I couldn't see Buckly ever getting the sack, the could win three spoons and Eddie would still love him!

Haha, holy shit. You did what I said in my post that some Collingwood supporter would do. I hope this is some joke you're pulling on me but deep down inside I know it's not and that this is really happening.
I think our KPP depth is where we are strong need to find another genuine target up forward so White can go hopefully Moore in a few seasons or perhaps Gault next year. But I don't think Cloke and Reid are a bad combo up forward and down back with Brown, Frost and Keeffe we are strong enough. I know the latter two tired a bit late last year but if Brown can get on the park they can be rotated in and out of the side so they don't fade out and then there is Marsh who was pushing for a game before he did his hamstring late in the year who I think we could see next year.
I think it is our mids and smaller players where the depth is lacking as we have too many guys who are late teens and early 20's age wise that was not so bad last year when Beams and Ball were still there it enabled the young blokes to be the depth players and not be relied upon to perform each week.
I think we are weak in the rucks I want to back in Witts and Grundy but I think we have to draft a mature back up in the rookie draft incase they are injured only having 2 ruckman on a list is not enough.
I think we can push forward next year and move back into the top 8 Greenwood in my eyes is a big downgrade on Beams, but I think a guy like Adams has the potential to deliver more than Ball did this year for us that is a plus then if we can get Reid and Brown on the park it improves how we structure up at both ends of the ground.
I never said you would not make the finals it would be a huge fail if you missed the club brought in more mature talent to try and get you to become a flag threat I don't think you targeted the right players. But if you are not pushing for a flag in the next few years the club ****ed up big time and will need to wait along time before the are ready to challange again
