AFLW 2024 - Round 10 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
I just think people should ease off on them for a while - next thing you know they will be talking about contending from outside the eight and how their famous victory over Norths was the highlight of their year.
Imagine regularly contending for premierships whilst doing so?
They want one of the top 4 midfielders, plain as day.
Collingwood is the lower to mid table team and that's a fact.
Im not buying the 'contending' hypothesis - it is a poor response to having to wear the fact that your Club is in it for the 'participation awards' and the average of once every two decades fluky flag - as is factually evident since before you were born.
Of course you're not buying into the 'contending hypothesis', because as a Carlton supporter you've forgotten (or possibly never actually seen first hand) what it means to contend.
Are we going to stay at 2025 or will you go back to the last 2 decades when it suits you?
I'd rather the top 3 pick thanks. Half backs are not our biggest issue atm
All of the players at the top of this draft are POD mids. Then we get back Cerra and get more midfield minutes into E.Hollands and our midfield is far more balanced. We were the number 1 stoppage team in the comp in 23' with a fit Cerra. He is imo key to that midfield functioning optimally due to his spread from the stoppage and his two-way running. E.Hollands is a bonus on top of that 23' mid with his spread, great ball-use and ability to go forward and kick a goal.
This isn't a fantasy game. Every move needs to be considered and fit in with the list strategy. It is not sustainable to just be recruiting players every year and neglecting the draft. We have done a heavy block of recruitment the last few years and now had the opportunity to get a top pick in a good draft. A HB is not moving the needle enough to justify the assets we would have needed to give up.
So you can waffle on about the last 2 decades but get offended by talking about a small timeline
Injuries to other small forwards …. Orazio Fantasialand , Martin … lookout.
You forgot Martin Fadge
Martin isn't a small forward and Fantasia was playing the Cottrell role after he got injured so not as a small forward. I was talking about Fogarty/Motlop who both missed significant time this season and I would have both (with Williams) ahead of Owies in 2025 for that small forward role.Injuries to other small forwards ….

of course you will settle for the false glitter of "participation awards" - I feel sorry for the kidgoat having to go to the gym and watch all the saggy skinned geriatrics around him...hopefully they dont forget to wear their sombreros like you have and good luck replacing Pendelbury and Sidebottom with a batch of developed trades because Collingwood is a destination Club...LOL youve had to pay massive overs for a HBF who doesnt evn want to be there...
I'm assuming " Cottrell role" is codename for being a useless massive spud then.
yeah all the 'spuds' at Carlton - wot does that say about your mob?
haha that's so funny...
Says you lost 2-0yeah all the 'spuds' at Carlton - wot does that say about your mob?
put eh sombrero on and enjoy the tequillas
He largely plays the useless spud role when he's in the team.
Shortest pre season in history apparently. Didn't seem to bother Brisbane funnily enough
It did actually.
