I hope this isn't the proverbial Moz, but for the past two weeks I open DL with dread - then again, that's the kind of fella I am, I must be Polish or something -  hoping that it ain't gonna produce catastrophic news about accidents on the Training Track.

Thus far, with the usual shall we say minor mishaps, our boat is afloat. 

In the meantime, I also note that the injury/operation - dictation dictation dictation, three sausages went to the station - tally at Geelong follows a similar path to our post Premiership season. Without wishing the NOT Wells on someone, long may it continue. With their perpetual Home Draw advantage, they are not Cats at all, simply spoiled poodles.

In the good old days many teams had horrific home ground advantages ie Windy Hill, Victoria Park,  Moorabbin, even Lake Oval l remember had feral home ground supporters.

I opened this thread hoping for a treatise on the death of football vernacular since the 1980's - namely 'tiggy touch wood' for an undeserved free kick.

 

A toast to the downfall of Mordor; may it come in our lifetime and for long enough to enjoy.

Do we have any feral supporters? Would we recognise them?

Kossie and Fritta say HI 

 BBB and Tmac when fit say HI 

JVR says give me a go!!

ANB Spargs  say we'll be better this year 

Chandler says just please give me a go also!!! 

We are great shape

Honestly, what could go wrong from here?

We have a fit Ben Brown..Tom McDonald ..Bailey Fritch (our Premiership Forward line) available at this stage. JVR I’m sure will be great for us but he will fight for his spot …

In 2022 our forward line was decimated.
 

TMac and BBB were less than half themselves. Weid was Weid, so no loss there and Max (who ain’t a forward) was injured and had less than usual input. Jackson is an athlete and will never be a KPF. 
 

Trac could not kick a consistent goal, ANB and  Spargo are plodders who complement structure. 
 

 Only Kickett and Fritta can hold their heads up.
 

That’s 2 out of 6/8 players who contributed in a forward line.

The forward line is our big improvement area. As a collective, and when it functions it’s a problem for opposition teams. JVR, Chandler and Schache add another element for improvement too.

I guess it is competition in the sense that there is a position to be won and bidding is open.

Victoria Park and Moorabbin were the worst I ever experienced as well as Carltons home ground. In the 50's I recall at Victoria Park we were afraid to even stand next to anyone dressed in black and as for train travel home we were on edge most of the time.

Is no one concerned about Oliver’s thumb injury?  I accept I may be of a more paranoid nature but he’s pulling out of match sims and appears to be repeatedly injuring it and sore. How is this not even included in our injury list?

I don’t think it’s his thumb at all.
If you look at the diagram below, when I saw him train and show real discomfort, he was pointing to the area I’ve circled.

Does this make it better or worse McQueen?

I don’t really know. I fractured my scaphoid bone 20 years ago and it was a real pr!ck to heal.

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
