When all the smoke clears away, it'll be Simon Goodwin who will deal with this hiccough in an appropriate and measured way. I would trust no one else to get this right.

It's a shame to see the Hawks getting smashed!!! I was hoping they could win the flag this year. They haven't won it for so long.

Let's replace these umpires with 3 poodles. They wouldn't do a worse job of it and you can pay them with a few cans of dog food ( which is what these clowns are worth) Respect umpires ??????? No, no not this lot.

I'm set for the game. I've thrown a couple of stubbies in the fridge, I have Half a bottle of Laphroig in the cupboard and some Cold Duck for the celebration afterwards.

The AFL decided the throw pass is okay since the doggies did it all last year. I saw several throws by Collingdog players right in front of umpires not penalised. They have obviously decided they need to have the pies win a couple of games and one Sydney team can be unsuccessful. By jingo, some of the spoils by Collingwood tonight were impressive.

Will want to re- sign and will no doubt be part of something special at the club. He's not going nowhere.

Come on Robbie, focus !! It's Chris. " C " for Chris, " C " for Cats. " C " for cranky and " C " for........... something else starting with C.

You are totally correct in that comment OD. I thought the same myself and looking over into the Southern stand, there were heaps of dees fans there which isn't normally the case. The fewer blues fans made a lot of noise, especially when they were moaning about the umpiring.

And that's actual legit members, not " Mickey Mouse" $1.00 maybe we will, maybe we won't members.

I guess we are past the point of potting the umpires. But goodness me some of the decisions to both teams were dreadful. If the AFL is happy with what they do week in week out, it's not satisfactory for the bulk of fans. They should focus on applying the rules evenhandedly and not arbitrarily change rules on the go because of a" vibe " No one knows what is going on which is why the perception that they have lost the plot is so strong. And, no I couldn't do a better job of it but I'm damn sure they should be better. Ps Since when is a mark allowed to a player after an opponent has clearly touched it ?????

This is an excellent plan, Biff. I take my hat off to you. The only addition I would make is to rig a two way system so you could have fluid in/ fluid out back into the empty bag. Save trips to the bathroom.

Roos would have been rapt to get Heeney but our bid on Heeney was an ambit claim and Roos knew that the swans were always going to match the bid. Our interest was in Petracca in that draft.

It wasn't intended to be a joke, nor was it. And I stand by the hyperbole comment.

The hyperbole from Bruuuuuuuuce is very annoying.

Geez, Allir Allir is a magnificent athlete !!!!!!!! Shame he's no good at football. Bruce !!!! Get him off the ground !!!!!

The thing about a defence that appears a bit light on for talls is that if we are winning the midfield, the problem is not so great. As long as we pressure Carlton's delivery into forward 50, we'll do well. If we are dominating the midfield and we're streaming forward, we'll crush them.

6,000 Magari !!!!!

Williams had great hands no doubt but the thing that differentiated Williams from 95% of star midfielders was that he always seemed to have about 30 seconds to get rid of the ball. That's another quality I'd like to see Oliver with. It'll come and if it does, then watch out !!!!!

I am going to have another son and name him "Clayton Oliver ......" This kid is a dead set freak and , did I mention, I shook his hand in the supermarket " ?????

There was nothing intentional in the Riewoldt/ Smith incident. Just happened in the run of play. Bad things sometimes happen. Smith will come good as eventually will Riewoldt.

If we don't get 800 new members this week on the back of that effort, I'll go he.

I put 3 memberships into that total yesterday at the clubs office at the G. The only entity in our house not now currently a member is the cat. I think the cat is for the high jump !! Emma, the membership girl at the club is confident we will get 40,000.

If he does, we won't be able to see his nice new teeth !!!!

Which hasn't happened in the last three games !!! After the latest of those three, I said to my Collingwood supporting students " Welcome to the era of Collingwood never beating Melbourne ever again. " Have I gone too early on that prediction ?? Hope not !

There is no evidence that the Eagles did anything wrong. The players all said everything was okay. What more proof do you want than that ???
