I love watching Collingwood play. Key personal out and yesterday they still get the job done because others stand up as a team. Say what you want, but McRea is a brilliant coach and his numbers speakers for themselves. They're 100% premiership contenders imo.

Goodwin confirmed that he's back this week.

Didn't watch a second of the game as i was at a functional but was checking for updates. Seems we were challenges and rose to the occasion.. well done. Will watch the full replay today. I see Langford had another 20 plus possessions.. he would have to be right in the mix for the rising star now? Max looks like he had a monster of a game as did Chandler?

This has been common knowledge for a while. More interested in basketball and supposedly goes alright as well.

Yes.. there is only one 🐐 that ever existed in the number 30 and it was this sex symbol below..

Off to Fremantle bigfooty i go...

No AFL clubs request byes at all to the VFL. This is all VFL driven.

I thought he was cooked after 2023. The way he's been able to turn himself around at his age is actually remarkable considering where his body was at. I have no intel at all but I expect a contract extension very soon.

I'm sorry but who are you? I'll be sure to consult you next time I post a footy related opinion. If you had taken the time to properly read through i also tipped us to win tomorrow's game regardless if I didn't agree with team selection. You're clearly new to here if you were offended with what I wrote which was actually mild in the grand scheme of things.

Only takes for an early injury to any of our players to then throw that idea out of the window.

Why would we take Tmac out of his role where he's pretty been rated one of the best defenders in the league? In fact he and Bowey have been our clear best defenders so far this year. No need to stifle that synergy. He hasn't rucked for years and won't be anytime soon.

I'm talking about Sean Darcy from Freo last year when we went into that game with Petty as our number 1 ruckman. He got badly smashed around stoppages and one on ones ruck contests. Matt Flynn is a big lad too mind you. I'm not sure why you've added Melk to this discussion? I haven't questioned him once and understand why he was brought in. After last week's effort i had Fritsch out for Melksham. You either play one or the other really. Having them both simply doesn't work anymore imo. I also don't know why we need two defensive forwards in Sparrow and Melksham?. Honestly, the whole off season change of the game plan was not too be too defensive minded and focus more on our offence and attack. Yes there is an element staying true to our defensive strength but not to the point where we've got multiple forwards having to tag away. Let them off the leash a little but show their opponent the respect when it comes into our forward line or when they have possession of the footy in our D50. If May goes out then similar to pre Freo game, Howes comes in.

Anyhow.. thats my little rant done 🙃 We win by 13 points.

I dont see those traits in Sharp at all so we'll agree to disagree. Also, this last paragraph is in my kind opinion, pretty irrelevant on any footy related discussion regardless on what level of footy I've played at. My views on footy should be seen as equal to yours and every other footy head on here Dub. I did after he laid 5 tackles and kicked 2 goals against Essendon. I thought finally he was heading on the right track until Goodwin said he needed to work on his defensive side of the game in a press game interview against Freo.. confusing, but okay.. Thats why each week selection becomes confusing. I then watch him against GWS in the VFL and he barely got out of second gear and laid 1 tackle for the whole game. You then can't tell me his selection was justified off the back of that performance compared to JVR's 5 goal effort against Richmond. Once again this also shows the complete lack of support for Max Gawn regardless of how well he's playing. Matthew Lloyd was correct last week, the fact that we are still heavily relying on a 33 year champ who's got no back up whatsoeveris a huge concern. Petty is not a ruckman at all and we saw that last year when he got absolutely monstered by Darcy, so I have no idea what plan B is when Gawn needs a spell or heavin forbid he gets injured.

The comparison to ANB even if you were comparing back to his earlier career is actually a slap to the face to Nibbler. Sharp should not even be remotely be compared to Sharp at any length or put in the same category. ANB even in his debut year showed more promise than Sharp has his entire career, we all saw the glimpses especiallyafter his 3 goal effort against Geelong. By Nibblers 3rd year he had consolidated himself as a best 22 player in our line-up. Sharp is barely suburban level standard and hasn't shown any glimpse or ability that makes you think he'll grow into a solid AFL career. Nah hang on.. see thats where selection integrity has to be questioned. Why should certain players get a far more better leeway treatment compared to the guy that actually played into form unlikethe guy that didn't and still got a call up. Not only did he get a call up but his lack of defensive pressure and 0 tackles was once again on show. Our tackling forward half pressure against Fremantle was the best i had seen since close to 2021 early 2022. That's why it made complete sense why both JVR and Fritsch were dropped. What didn't make sense and is even more perplexing, is that you give one bloke only a week in the reserves who mind you was still poor, compared to the guy in his second VFL level actually hits form with scoreboard pressure. Don't get me wrong, I understand the need for a fully in form Fritsch is still important to our line up.. but he still needs to earn his way back like every other Joe blow has to in the reserves and prove how desperate he is to earn his sport. I did not see that once when he played against GWS in the VFL.
