anyone else picturing Viney staring a photo of Taylor Adams with gritted teeth?

Adams went the return serve with Bernie, tossbag

Spencer seems an obvious choice but understand that Grundy is a very mobile ruckman and will run him hard, he may not have the fitness to go with Grundy and if not we are one down.

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't come in.

I'm interested to see how Goody handles this one, there are arguments both ways and I don't see it as a certainty.

I trust we will get it right.

True, he might not be good enough to match it Grundy, but of more relevance is, is he a better option than Pedo? Which I'd suggest he is.

I believe it is not about whether Pedo is better than Spencer competing with Grundy. It's about what is better for the side. Spencer is better for the side, as Pedo can play forward and relief ruck, Watts can play permanent forward and T-Mac can play permanent back.

Yep, good arguments but don't expect too much from him if he comes in.

He's had a fair time out and is playing against Grundy who is in line for AA honours at the moment.

I like that it settles the team a bit but wouldn't be surprised to see Pedders and Watts still doing a bit more of a following role with Spencer taking the centre bounces...

Vince's presser still not uploaded that I can see. It can't just be a resources issue. 

Why do they think people go to the website? Burgo's think pieces?

Not 100% sure but I thought I read Vince's comments were from a radio interview from a station in Adelaide

Saw a snippet on Fox. Looked very much like a presser.

Id fully expect a few lads to give Spencil a chop out here and there...but not having to take the brunt of the load will benefit our style immensely.

Little Big Mouth, Smart Alec, Adams is still at it: "I would like to see more of it to be honest, like in the NBA. It's almost cocky but it's just confidence," Adams said.   http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/no-harm-in-afl-trash-talk-says-magpie-taylor-adams-20170607-gwmb5n.html

"Collingwood midfielder Taylor Adams has not backed down from his Demons barb before their Queen's Birthday clash, saying he would like to see more "honest and raw" commentary from AFL players, mimicking the trash talk often heard in American sports".

Who cares what happens in American sports! 

And who cares what an up-himself footballer who has achieved nothing says! 

Nonetheless, I hope we have a team strategy for any player to (fairly) bump and crash into him at every opportunity - just to let him know not to go insulting our club!

Gritted teeth, nah. I picture Viney using the photo as a dart board.

It's just noise mate - hopefully it brings a few more folk through the gate four our coffers...

 

Adams....not very bright. Not the sharpest tool but a tool none the less.

Am sure someone will eventually tell him to stfu....might be one of them....or a few of ours :rolleyes:

I'll line them up bb:  Vince, Jones, Viney, Lewis, Pederson, Hibberd, Melksham.  A fair bump here and there from each of them won't go astray. 

It might be noise as someone suggested but it still irks me that some nobody to dig his heels in and offend our club when he as a footballer and his clubs have done SFA!!

Couldn't care less what Adams said, all that matters is we win. Actions speak louder than words. Let's just win the match and let the filth descend further into chaos on route to sacking their coach. Would love to see Eddie turn pink again! Bring back Press Red for Eddie!

Go Dees!

He didn't exactly double down on what he said:

"I certainly wasn't trying to insinuate we're a successful football club, because I haven't played a final yet and as Bernie mentioned, we haven't really done a whole lot, which is more than fair enough."

The horse has already bolted though. He'll have a target on his back come Monday.

I see nothing wrong with what Adams said personally.

It's all just promotional banter. 

And if it draws an extra few thousand through the turnstiles to bump the crowd to 80k then all the better!

I hope we smash them but they bounce back the following week. Buckley can't coach I love him at the helm of Collingwood. I hope they win just enough games to keep him again and again without making the finals.

The notion we lose when favs is wrong.

Won 3, Lost 3 - so the commentary around we lose every time we are favs is rubbish

[Very tongue in cheek] Thank-you very much but you and your fact check can just fact off. There are a lot on here that prefer our alternative facts. We've had to believe in alternative facts to stick by the Dees as long as some of us have!

Getting sick of people on other sites claiming Howe has been reinvented as a backman by the pies when he'd spent a fair chunk of time down back with us. They forget (or don't realise) that part of the reason he wanted to move was because Bucks had promised him he wouldn't play him down back!

So speaking of tools, can someone ask Jeremy "Howe's the move to the pies for more time in the forward line going?"

 

If Spencer comes in I would look at a couple of different game plans for the ruck/forward play. First up with him rucking the center against Grundy with Pedo up forward. Pedo rucks in the forward fifty with Spencer patrolling a kick out.

Plan B might have Spencer rucking the center bounces with Pedo as a big body at his feet with 2 or 3 running forward in a couple of waves from half back. Spencer immediately the ball is cleared moves forward and Pedo runs with Grundy. Stoppages in forward 50 Spencer takes and Pedo reverts to his forward role. around the ground Pedo rucks. Our stoppage clearances with Pedo rucking have been at least a break even in the past 5 or so games.

I would like to see Spencer in if he is up for it and with Pedo I believe we get a greater flexibility.

Taylor refused to even talk to Melbourne and went to Collingwood and now not only are we better but our future looks much better lol they're a good chance to sack their coach this year and we are a good chance to play finals

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
