Always injured....decent player when he's fit, but he only seems to be fit 50% of the time

Disappointing day but not the end of the world (or the season). Collingwood were red hot and we were flat as shizen carters hats....I thought we played some ok footy in parts but just beaten by a better side on the day. I can't believe Dunn beat Hogan so comprehensively though he looked well past it in his last season with us...

I like them both but the problem with injury prone players is they tend to stay injury prone

Have to say as well as we're playing we have had a great run playing against sides with keys out....even North were missing Tarrant for that match arguably the most important member of their defence....

They've still got a lot of injuries: Varcoe, Elliot, Reid, Fasolo, Moore, Josh Smith, Howe still in doubt.....no excuses for us

Would he even get a game in our best 22? Never heard of him either

We'd have too many stars - my head would explode

Hoges and TMac are almost unstoppable as a forward combination, no defenders in the league can match their running power

Vital signing! Well done to all involved he would have got massive offers to leave

I remember watching Joel Smith matched up on Weideman at training doing contested work in the air and Joel was absolutely smashing him despite giving away quite a bit of size. He's a ferocious competitor, he'd be my first choice.

Is it too late to get Jeremy Howe back?

Frost could be exciting with his breakaway pace now we are playing such confident attacking football.....he could also have those "cover your eyes with your hands" moments, all part of the package....

Forgotten what is feels like to follow a team that is just flat out better than it's opposition, so even when we played an ok game without being brilliant we still win easily and never looked like losing....feels good, man

Huge loss but I think Joel Smith has shown AFL standard qualities in the few games we've seen him at the top level.

When Hogan played on and was disallowed a shot at goal at 3 quarter time that would have put us 86 up a tiny voice in my head said "I hope that doesn't cost us"

I don't feel like we'll smash them, Bevo will turn the game into a (groan) dogfight, but we'll come away with the win by 3-5 goals

While I wouldn't have minded a fresh player or two in, understand you can't drop anyone after every player had done his job to pretty much to perfection the last 2 weeks

Didn't the Wizard back up the next week with a bag of 7 against Hawthorn as we totally rained on the parade for Salmon's 300th? Amazing player, on his day was unstoppable.

Yep, behind the goals at the Punt Road end, Wiz was having a poor game, Daniher dragged him (back when being benched actually meant something). Ben Beams broke his arm at the start of the 3rd quarter, the Wiz went back on and proceeded to rip Collingwood apart. 9 goals in a half, don't see that too often and his shot for his 10th only just went wide. One of the greatest days I've had at the footy, my Pies supporting mate on the day not so much....

Exactly, Richmond have had the easiest draw for a reigning premier of all time, only 2 games against finalists from last year, both of which they lost!

I'm getting a bit sick of this "haven't beaten anyone" stuff.....who is all that great at the moment anyway, apart from us, West Coast and Richmond!?

Surely every oppo analyst will be trying to pull apart our gameplan more than ever now as well

My biggest concern: if we take Gaff the Eagles will retaliate in a couple of years by offering Hogan the mother of all contracts. They would see him as the perfect replacement for Kennedy when he retires. I'm starting to think we shouldn't be too greedy with free agents and concentrate on maintaining the list we've already got.

A good hard fought win that goes down to the wire would probably be great for the club over the next month....awesome as it is to be crushing everyone by 15 goals, surely it can't realistically continue....or can it?

The last place you'd want to be is on a footy field between Viney and the ball....
