Melbourne weather is schizophrenic, 4 seasons in one day- Crowded House

Moose has been brilliant! Hope he captains the new Tassie team,

Why and WTF for?

I did say a lot would disagree. I don’t retract what I said though. Fyfe can’t get on the track and even play a game. Pearce is a great leader but he isn’t captains material. I think most would agree brayshaw is the future leader and captain of the club. How is bringing him in as captain in a huge game the contender for worst suggestion? Lol that’s a bit harsh.

I think Fyfe was made skipper too soon. It was a case of Fremantle being afraid that he would leave.
It was rumoured that at the time, Mundy was selected as the skipper by the players, but the decision rolled by the club.
Pearce has been brilliant as the LEADER of the club. Captain, skipper. Brayshaw and Serong have been great assistants. Their time will come.
Let Brayshaw get used to the adulation before throwing him under the bus.

Think that was the scuttlebutt related to the year that Mundy was actually appointed as captain.

Correct. But had good legs, so I think there was a load of truth in it.

If we’re worried about Mundy’s speed, let him play on Pendlebury. Just run with him all game and peel off.

Mundys speed is between his ears. Why run, when you can walk out of a pack.

Let Mundy play Mundys game ( 100% team orientated ), why chase the other team ?. Let them chase us.

 

[Purple Jesus]

Will DeGoey back up his game from last week? If so, who runs with him?

Elliot also needs shutting down imo.

 

[Spirit Level]

Fuarrrk that will be great exposure if true, hope the nerves hold

Could we get some support from other teams' supporters. I mean they've won a lot of close ones - so as much as they're admired for that, there might be a lot of oppo fans who might feel, as fans typically do when they lose close ones, that they got robbed in those games - and bear a grudge against Collingwood.

That was a friendly crowd though. Collingwood crowd will be beyond hostile.

Does Aish get the job on De Goey? feel like he lacks the size to keep him in check around the stoppages but Aish is an incredibly smart footballer so I’d back him in

 

[Lach72]

It’s a sell out apparently.

only 4.5k Freo members have bought tickets.

going to be a bracing experience

I think most people hate Collingwood unless your a pies fan.

In Sydney they are the most hated AFL team from Melbourne due to Eddie McGuire.

Want to win the premiership? That’s the path the players have to take
