Can’t be serious, why would anyone think that’s a fair reaction. They do it for the love of the club, so much for “side by side”. 

only god knows why any human being who is not a complete moron would willingly join the collingwood cheer squad and those that do are obviously completely incapable of loving anything worthy of love

Some people are stupid enough to believe the banner disintegrating jinxed the Filth and resulted in the loss. Post hoc ergo propter hoc!

Just wondering . . . does anyone know if a team has ever kicked the first five goals in a granny and lost the game?

Good question.

Yes. They mentioned it in the commentary at one point. The commentary said something like 'Collingwood have only once before kicked the first five goals in a GF. And it didn't end well that time'. 

I think it may have been 1939.

They may have kicked the first five in '70 and '79 it seems.

So the new successful structure is 2 ruckmen and a tall forward line. 

Indeed

Grundy was double teamed and lost

Meth coast has 3 big guys down back barass schofield and mcgovern

And 3 big guys upfwd with vardy there

Everything old is new again

Richmond who pioneered the one tall fwd is now adding lynch

So two rucks can work

I wanted like anything for Collingwood to lose but the way it happened I wouldn't wish on any big footy fan. I'm really sensing a 'be careful what you wish for' situation here because I could not have gone through that if it was us. I hope we're never in that situation where we get pipped at the post.

My best mate from school days is a Serious Pie. 

He was almost suicidal on Saturday night. It wasn’t funny...

i never want to be punched in the guts like that....

The lack of respect for defenders is getting ridiculous in footy.  

in the norm smith voting McGovern only polled one vote and Schofield didn't poll any. Both of them were instrumental in the win

not saying Shuey doesn't deserve it but I'd like stats/touches to be less involved in voting across the awards

Great game Ben E. Alas, daughter has opened it already and any chance to repackage into several gifts (who doesn't want a hand warmer for Christmas) has evaporated. Bloke walking to Richmond Station ahead of me had five. That's a family worth of presents.  Hope you enjoyed the Eagle Rock tune that you also experienced in WA.

Interested in your Hogan thoughts in the Draft/Trade Cheeseboard forum. RTG

RTG, I’m having PTSD episodes even thinking about Eagle Rock and the cauldron of blue and gold, Optus Stadium, with the din of whinge and entitlement!

Looking at the 100+ pages on the Draft/Trade Cheeseboard, I don’t have much to add about Jesse. I and the girls would love him to stay - should I get one of my daughters to send him an envelope with 20 cents in it (remember Chris Grant)?

I am interested to know - if he goes - what’s going to replace the quarter time entertainment of Hogan’s Heroes and, more recently, Hogan’s High Ball. May’s Haymakers or Kolodjashnij’s Ukrainian Tongue Twisters?
