So Wright is definitely coming back to Pies then.Sam McClure expresses doubts on Graham Wright's future at Collingwood
Sam McClure has expressed his doubt on General Manager of Football at Collingwood Graham Wright returning to the club, after taking extended leave this year. McClure thinks Wright has “higher ambitions” and even flagged a potential role for him down in Tasmania. Leigh Matthews and Matthew Lloyd...www.3aw.com.au
Jen, it’s a waste of time projecting forward. Sole focus can only be on Hawthorn.With each passing loss, it gets harder. So things have changed.

How many more wins do they need to play finals? Likely to make it with four, but not 100% safe
Now they’re in deep trouble. When you combine three consecutive losses against fellow finals contenders with a weekend where a bunch of teams below them won, the Magpies’ equation just got way more complicated. And this is where the 0-3 start really hurts them, because even though they lost just once between Rounds 2 and 14, they just don’t have enough wins on the board. Can they recover and get to 12 wins? Yeah, maybe; even in their weakened state the Pies should beat Richmond, Hawthorn is probably still 50-50, and we saw how well they beat Melbourne on King’s Birthday. That’s your 12. But look how many teams are already on nine or more wins! It seems likely 13 will be the minimum required; where is that 13th win coming from, based on the Magpies’ current form? Heck, you could argue the way they’ve looked in recent weeks, they’ll struggle to get to 12. Next week is almost an elimination final by itself - but given how tough their last month is, realistically the Magpies have to win their next two. Or else as the kids say, it’s joever.

Ive gone through the ladder predictor, we could still win hawks, richmond and one of the others and still miss. That's just the nature of how tight the ladder is. There are gonna be a few sides on the same amount of points just narrowly miss because how even it is.Jen, it’s a waste of time projecting forward. Sole focus can only be on Hawthorn.
Win, and our season is alive.
Lose, and it’s dead.
What I’m saying is that going beyond next week is a waste of time. Lose and it’s over anyway.Ive gone through the ladder predictor, we could still win hawks, richmond and one of the others and still miss. That's just the nature of how tight the ladder is.

I know. I'm just posting what they have put up, and of course it changes week or week.What I’m saying is that going beyond next week is a waste of time. Lose and it’s over anyway.
Win, and we are a chance.
There will be other games that result in surprise winners. Like the Dogs rolling Carlton.
Most of our 2010 Premiership team was there Friday night.At this point I'm just hoping we get up in Pendles 400th and beat the Scum. If the guys can't get up for that game then they should be ashamed of themselves.
This is the news and media thread, it seems appropriate to put it hereI know. I'm just posting what they have put up, and of course it changes week or week.
I agree, lose next saturday and its officially over.
This is the same guy that told us that he knew WC would not pick Harley Reid.So Wright is definitely coming back to Pies then.
That's a relief.
Exactly. That's why I'm confident Wright is returning to the Pies.This is the same guy that told us that he knew WC would not pick Harley Reid.

Just like when we gave GWS pick 2...What a disaster this would be. Not only do we miss playing finals, but we hand Freo possibly a top 6 draft pick in a very good draft. The media are going to have a field day with that!!.....
Just like when we gave GWS pick 2...
While whats done is done.
1. I recall many of us said we should have walked away when they asked for a F1
2. We should be banned from trading 1sts
3. Its in the past now, so just have to move on.
Nah, we traded pick 2 for two picks in that draft (2020) 24 and 30. We got one 2021 pick, a 4th rounder. But this trade was thinking they had to trade it out anyway and try to get two extra players in 2020 (poulter/mcmahon) and gave them our 1st rounder for it.Didn't we trade pick 2 to get points for Nick. Clubs were never going to allow us to have both Nick and 2nd pick in the draft.
I’ve read this a few times and don’t get the logic.Most of our 2010 Premiership team was there Friday night.
That should have been an incentive to win the game.
There’s a lot of 50-50 games with teams playing each other inside and just outside the 8.With each passing loss, it gets harder. So things have changed.

Mick M threw it away. Playing injured players.I’ve read this a few times and don’t get the logic.
Why would they provide any more incentive? Who are they to these individual players? How many of them actually go to the club or were at the club during the week during training so they can actually relate to them.
Unless they were Pie fans growing up, they mean nothing to the current group. In fact, I’d be shitty that most of them threw away 2011!
Why am I not more excited about thisIf we miss the finals at least there's this to look forward to
