It's to be expected from anyone who doesn't barrack for Collingwood. Even when we were playing well, all the commentators & 'experts' emphasised how much they didn't enjoy liking us & how we were playing.

There's a few exceptions

Like Kingy
 
There was a mention on the Gettable segment on the AFL website that Kreuger has been offered a 1 year contract extension.
You'd think it's Nathan's last chance to string some games together.

Hang, pretty sure he’s already contracted for 2024, why would we be extending him now?!?
 
Going a bit China there, where they'll put you up on a billboard of shame.
How is it different than drink drivers?

Maybe go full Taliban on their arses?
 
I don’t think we allowed much free flowing ball into their forward line, well no more than they allowed us.

They killed us off the deck in their forward half - our small defenders had really poor games.
Agree - but they are not scoring 82 points from turnover next time.
And we kicked 100 points, including nullifying Andrews. So defensively they are frail.
Now put back our 3 Top players - do these journalists really think we’re that far off given the above, and that we’ve proven ourselves based on ladder position?

I thought they'd kick a lot of out the back goals, but it wasn't that at all. It was front of the square crumbing. They got every crumb and goaled. A lot of it was that Frampton isn't Darcy Moore.

Apparently not. If it was 3 years it may have been 2 + a trigger for a 3rd, which he obviously didn't reach.
Jen mentioned that Mark McGowan said he is out of contract at the end of this season.

Yes, but Frampton, IS, Frampton, and that’s cool.

As I’ve said before, where does brisbanes improvement come from? We can add 3 elite player, and play them at the MCG. Tighten up slightly.

What can they do? Ain’t no way they scoring that much off turnover, and ain’t no way we allowing Cameron to sit at the back again and get cheapies.

This was the positive improvement from our last meeting. Add some defenders who can better compete in the air and we're good. Moore is one, Howe a second option, though I expect he stays forward.

Our midfield was ok in this one. Forward line functioned well. Defence prevented easy marks (marks i50 17-12 Pies) and goals out the back.

I feel there was far more good than bad from that game. Move it to the 'G, add some key players, plus a tonne of consequentiality and we're looking the more likely winner.

Cameron, FWIW, averages 2.17 goals per game at Marvel and only 1.2 per game at the MCG… disposal averages are within 1 so he gets the ball at about the same rate.
 
Kane Thornes wrote a beauty in the age today about us. Everyone trying so hard to discount us. Maybe we needed to win more and finish higher.
Let me guess he criticized Nick Daicos again and proclaimed JHF the greatest thing since sliced bread ?
