Amazing insights by Hodgie on The Agenda Setters.
He says Fagsy never looks back, does not rest on his laurels.
Never dwells on the 2024 flag.
Always looking to the future.

Don’t think they have a Vlaustuin, Grimes, Edwards, Houli, Lambert, Nank, Prestia, Broad, Grigg or Astbury in guys like Saad, Acres, Doc (current version), mcgovern, Williams, Haynes and Cottrell etc..

Plus they are super slow vs the pace of Edwards, Butler, Rioli, Castagna, Houli, Broad, Dusty, Cotchin and Grimes.

I was Devil's advocating. IMHO their biggest issue is between the ears, of the coaches and players. They lost to both us and the Hawks because they just bomb it long. Simple game and easy to stop with a half decent backline.

Our 2017 list was full of guys who weren't stars. But they were really solid mentally, and stuck to the game. maybe the Blues are the same and they are sticking to a losing game plan . Anyway, whatever it is long may it continue.

Training Report from Caesar from PRE
Thank you Caesar

• Today at 3:41 AM

Training Today Wednesday:

Hamstring Boys:

Hugo : Trained with main group 100 % for 90 minutes
MJ: As above
Smillie: Trained with main group for about 60 minutes before going inside.

ACL Boys:

Gibcus: Actually got presented with the non contact cap last Wednesday but today was his first meaningful participation with the boys easing his way in with 30 minutes of circle work. Thereafter he did plenty in conditioning.
Juddy: For all intense and purposes training fully , (April ACL).
Kelts: Doing plenty with main group and rehab, (slightly behind Juddy as June ACL)
Young: Doing about the same as Kelts now, (May ACL)
Taj: Like Gibcus did about 30 minutes with the main group, took a beautiful 1 grab, one handed mark where the ball landed like a feather in the palm of his hand and then snapped at goal, (June ACL).

Things Of Note:

McAuliffe: Trained 100% mid and in end of session Rolemastery was in the middle doing work with Lalor and Ziebell
Sonsie: People may not want to hear it but when broken into lines he was stationed forward and in Rolemastery he was doing goalkicking with Alger and Steely.
Mansell: Was wearing the non contact cap, did not do every drill but still participated pretty fully and of little concern IMO.
Lynchy: Welcome back we need you.

**PS. Disregard the post a couple of posts back re Trainor, yeah they managed him a bit but he still trained plenty with the main group and looked good.


That's it, now you can turn your attention to team selection.

Cheers

Good footage on First Crack showing how they’d bang the ball in long even when they had extra numbers when transitioning the ball by hand from half back. As you say, banging it in long is easy pickings for decent backlines.

Some bloke on you tube with Rodney Eade rated the worst grand finals of the century and ours came at number 1.
Also in the comments he said Cox would have kicked 10 if Collingwood made that grand final that year.

Lol,our backline did not have gangrene that year only 2018.

You can put this post in the premierships salty thread mods if you like.

Was the f**kwit talking about 2019? Cox wouldn't have touched the ball had the filth made the GF. Maybe we would have only won by 10 goals instead of 15.

Probably 5 goals when you add in the Umpires.

Not a single report in the media during the week on the pro-Collingwood umpiring, 33 to 14 frees.

Would have just been 1980 all over again, only no chance they score 9 goals.

They lost against a GWS team without Toby Greene, Coniglio, Phil Davis, and a couple of others. We played a significantly stronger GWS team in the granny and won by 15 goals. Not to mention we were on an 11 game winning streak. Pies fans are delusional.

 

[Daka]

This is going to be random as, but this guy was so robbed of AA last season, we have had players robbed as well. it's why I don't rate the All-Australian. the selectors are awful.

I eagerly anticipate witnessing Essendon’s humiliation. Who’s with me? lol.

You'll only ever hear about it if Collingwood lose the free kick count.
Doesn't happen often but you'll hear about it when it does.
Also worth noting that the AFL media are as dumb as dogsh!t.
