Maybe my grade/mark will improve after standardisation.

I like you. You make me half smile.

Definitely. We're all worked up with unanswered questions after a draw, tragic loss and two un-interpretable wins, and they go and dump a bye on us and leave us hanging.

Definite tension on Demonland. Dunno about at the club itself.

Maybe the review was run with the deliberate goal of making sure there weren't any turds floating around under the bath bubbles?

The common pattern for top teams lately has been to peak, fall short, realign/review, and then make the big run.

Geelong, St Kilda, Collingwood, Hawthorn (though the Hawks slipped one in on the first peak).

I would suggest that the club is conscious of the fact that these clubs all got to the pinnacle and then had to re-evaluate because they just weren't quite able to reach the top. The time pressure if we are going to get a Crawford-style sendoff for guys like Green, Moloney, Davey and Jamar is intense - these guys can't afford to wait the extra couple of years for the reset to be done.

A bit of disruption now, to make sure all is lined up right for the first tilt and the realignment afterwards is a small and brief as possible, seems like a good way to go.

I am of course hoping, rather than knowing, that this is the way things are going.

FFS just get rid of DB now. Get the Ox in to mentor Watts, who clearly needs someone to help him rather than just the coaches and sign Roos to take this group forward or wait for MM. Its simple really. Where theres smoke theres fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I started this post and I have certainly started something I never dreamed I would... Ha !! Ha !! I especially love the Guy called Biease (is it an i or an l ??

You have posted more about the perceived awful reaction to your initial posts, than about these 'against the mould opinions' that you have and we evidently don't.

You have had to deal with dismissiveness, condescension, someone pointing out the 'tone' of capital letters, some perceived name calling due to an misunderstanding, and your non-acceptance or comprehension of emoticons (google it).

So while that is a lot to deal with in your first week, there is no malice.

It's just been a massive "Welcome to an Internet Forum"...

Who has two thumbs and doesn't give a crap?

Internet Forums.

(That's a bastardised Scrubs joke, but by all means take offence.)

Lets set the record straight. This forum is to express your opinions and thats exactly what I will continue to do. Thats why there called opinions cause you are allowed to have one last I checked.

Being a "rookie" poster means jack sh#t it doesnt mean I have just started following the Dees. And for those who give a crap I have been a Dees man for 33 years. As for the spelling or grammer FFS who cares. Its great to see everyones opinion on this forum even if you you dont agree with it but when you start to comment on their spelling etc you really need to pull you head in. I didnt realise we were getting graded on this.

There, I feel better now. Carry on.

To feel even better, look upon the spelling/grammar corrections as a free service of demonland B)

only joking . . . . . but some shockers are worth having a little poke at now and again

Ah yes , but you would never get "spell check" on a Collingwood forum.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
