I'm feeling quite ok about Port. Not like they did exceptionally well against Gold Coast at home.

Fremantle were probably worse than Hawthorn and Gold Coast.

They have been pretty scratchy for a side that's won 13 in a row, maybe you can soften them up for us like you did with Freo today (cheers)

But they have a good coach... Vossy is th3 rocking th3 trib3e
Disagree. Have to remember what he took over and had to deal with. It was a mess
The List is nowhere near perfect or complete (and there have been mistakes) but if we can keep our list fairly fit I believe we are a Top 8 side. Biggest issue has been Voss dealing with the mediocrity that have become part of the club. That is improving
I am okay with where we are and what we have coming through. Next 3-4 weeks will tell us a lot

Big part of that is getting Sayers and Cook to provide stability. Previous seasons we would have imploded.
Best it's been in decades. It's a happy club and everyone seems to be on the same page. A lot of improvement yet to come.
Big Trade/Draft period coming up
Games against Port & Pies are the key. Win 1 of those and we could get to 12 1/2 wins

Would love to see the list of picks SOS had over his period at Carlton and how many of his selections actually end up playing 100 Games
You're free to do that research but I never knew 100 games was the marker for success
Weiters , Curnow, McKay, Cunningham and Jsos all player in last weeks win. That year was the Best recruitment since Hawthorn picked up Franklin and Roughead. Wasn’t perfect but his first year is hard to top
Agree. Other issue was we had a full Salary Cap and no trade value when he took over
I also believe culture and development was the biggest issue at the club which Cook is now addressing
Look at Paddy Dow this year. His game has improved immensely. I have seen him live numerous times and it's like watching a different player. Sadly, I think another club will benefit
Bit to go but there is definite improvement in so many areas and a clear direction.

His 1st year was great or Lucky then ............................................ the next 4 were atrocious
Jsos is a plodder and cuningham played 25 games in 8 years injury prone

JSOS is not a star by any means but for a pick 50-odd he has become a more than serviceable role player that can pretty much play anywhere to at least a 6/10 standard. His form since the injuries to our rucks has been almost career best - hope he keeps it up. By no means a "plodder".
Only because he was playing at a bottom team
He is the type of player you pickup for free at any pre season draft
he is a work horse with no speed no leap and too short for a KPP or Ruck
filled a need but would have been delisted if not for the surname

This is a professional sport - no club is keeping players for 6-7 years because of a surname. Every club needs role players and he fits that perfectly. Even if he's not in the best 22 on any given week he is solid depth for any team.

So are you saying there are 40 better players on Collingwood's or any other team's list?

They play Billy Frampton most weeks. JSOS is fine.
