We should be playing this way. But to fully execute, we need to have powerful midfielders. Pendlebury, De Goey and Crisp are brutes. All we have is Brodie who plays on limited minutes.

It's not until Erasmus, Johnson and O'Driscoll can assert themselves that we will be a flag contender. Could be many years away.

Pies are also quite old and battle hardened. They have 14 players over 27 in their best 22 (and 10 over 29). We are an incredibly young team in comparison and I have no idea why many people were thining prior to round 1 that we should be contending this year.

You say this but Fyfe is banished from the midfield and the other two too Peel.
Do you think this would be the case at the Pies?
Then you have Amiss, Sturt, Emmett, but we will stick with Fyfe winning the
Coleman.

Do you think Fyfe's body can still be Nat Fyfe?

That tackle sums up Burton's game today. Moronic and lazy

Lol at some of these, "I can't see anyone beating them at any point this season. 83 points in one half of football - wow!" comments!
Premierships aren't won in frickin' March people!

Not full time, but the game rotates players, which creates different dynamics.
He is getting belted just as much forward, if anything it’s the hardest position to play at Freo.
No one can be happy with our midfield, wing, or forward ATM, it’s not going to take
us anywhere.

Melbourne were untouchable until a bunch of misfits on a 2 match losing streak knocked them over at the G last year.

It's definitely way too early to call

Geelong lost to both the Hawks and funnily enough the Saints in the first half of the year as well

No doubt he was ahead of his time. I think Clarksons Hawks probably played the ultimate refinement of his style
What we’re seeing from Collingwood is the next evolution of the game. Everyone else is playing catch-up.
Ross Lyon has copied it already.

Pies remind me of 2007 era Geelong

 

[mike91]

Collingwood been brilliant and deserve this big win, but wowsers it's been a poor display of umpiring. Not saying Port have been robbed by any means, just calling out the poor umpiring today

 

[Mr Cheese]

They invested like nothing in their defense. Think it’s just Moore (a f/s lol) and a bunch of rookies.

Maynard is AA quality and that kid Daicos goes alright.

I was thinking the same. Wouldn't change the result but jeez they've had a good run.

another f/s...

Crisp has been great value for the Pies since he was the steak knives in the Beams to Brisbane trade... along with pick #5 who was DeGoey.

Brisbane hurt them on the return trade, but not that much

 

[serial_thrilla]

Weekly reminder that Collingwood got Nick Daicos pretty much for free.

 

[Mr Cheese]

Yep, makes a mockery of any equalisation measures the draft is supposed to provide.

Yeah F Collingwood and their disdain for condoms. Idiocracy was a documentary.

Man is an absolute jet.

 

[mike91]

That's poor from Broad.....really poor

 

[s_wd6]

How is f/s ever going to be fair when you have clubs with 150+ years of history vs clubs with 12 years.

 

[Ge3ks]

I don't think the sons of players from 150 years ago would be eligle for the draft.

Smartest movie about dumb people ever

Interesting internet activity too. Good for him

Well when clubs can have 3 generations of f/s...

 

[FreoRicci]

Crisp is such an underrated and probably best pick up of the last 10 years.
Would love him in our team. Think has played the most consecutive games too, with 190. Nuts

 

[FreoRicci]

What’s Adelaide Crows zonal/ traditional father son clubs? A Norwood FC father and son for Adelaide is weird
