Their forward line is super handy.
I disagreed with those here who have said it was full of “no names” or uninspiring players.
They work their arses off for each other and keep the ball inside 50. That doesn’t take talent, just desire and effort. No defender is safe.
Fun team to watch

With the skills and speed of all our draftees. Once they adjust to the pace of AFL I can see us playing a similar style of game to Collingwood.

Collingwoods winning margins are no longer a talking point. They are playing some pretty good footy very early in the season. I don’t know if there is much in the way of injuries at present other than Howe, but their cohesion in a ballistic game plan is something else.
Their collective want to run just as hard defensively as they do offensively is to be admired

Admittedly not watching live - but looking at stats, and unless he's been injured, seems JHF is not justifying no. 1 pick?
ward, cmac and frenchy all shown more promise in their AFL careers than JHF (And yes I'm biased. Obviously. )

Nah, JHF was awesome last week against the vaunted Brisbane midfield.
Watching the first half today - he was a physical presence, he's an aggressive physical animal, but he was giving away multiple frees.

Ah well there is some merit to no 1 pick them 
ahh yes I didn't pay much attention last week
All signs after just over a year suggest McRae is a gun coach
The margin thing was petty nonsense from people clutching at straws last year. Much the same as the several years worth of Geelong going off the cliff posts - very often from the same people
Has this style of footy ever won flags?
You could argue Geelong 07, although they went up against witches hats that year

Where Fly was Dimma's right hand. McRae has had the perfect grounding for a coach
Richmond were quick, but they were scrappy, and not afraid to defend.
Collingwood seems more loose defensively, relying on a turnover and then they swarm forward.
It looks great, is it premiership footy though?
Hawks were always called vanilla. Definitely not a pretty side

I think you are under estimating the Pies defensive efforts.
Rich were no quicker than this Pies team, if anything, I’d argue the pies are quicker. It’s the quick ball movement that is the constant.
The pies have one superstar KP player. Very unusual
So what we’re saying is Ellis playing and Murphy being dropped is the reason we went on to the three peat

He was already a gun coach when he joined us in 2021.
Had coached for 15 yrs in the AFL system at Richmond (aligned - Coburg VFL senior coach), Collingwood, Brisbane, Richmond (VFL premiership coach), then us.
We could have replaced Clarkson with McRae. We chose not to, and the Pies are the beneficiaries.
