Was trying to get down this morning to watch but tune was short and limited. Glorious day here in Melbourne.

Nah not really for me.

In: Turner, Spargo, Woewodin Out: Sharp, AJ, Windsor. I think the club are desperate to get Spargo into the side. Adding experience to our forward half is critical imo.

Yes. A thousand times. The Malthouse/McGuire era is riddled with culture and off field matters over the journey.

Pretty sure Collingwood have copped their fair share of offenders over the years regarding off field matters. Can date it right back to the Rat Pack days.

I think everyone underestimates just the complete lack of preparation he's had leading into to round 1 and to still not look out of place against a genuine top 4 side is impressive enough as it is. Whilst everyone was fumbling in the wet conditions, he looked pretty clean and certainly showed good agility and evasiveness around the packs. Will only get better.

I'm attending this weekends game. Absolute pumped to be honest because it's my last weekend free before I start my foory season.

Ox was brilliant.

Fritta the best forward in 50 years? [censored] hell I've heard it all now... 🤣 there's been an outright nuffy and then there's simply being delusional.

Deakyn Smith is Casey's new captain this year.

My thoughts exactly

Wonder if Tom Campbell comes into consideration with AJ now suspended. Troy Chaplin has said previously they are oven to playing both at once.

You shouldn't expect.. you simply stay on him until you can communicate the handover with a teammate which he never did Its the number one rule playing footy. That was poor by him and he's been a well known culprit for the last couple of Howes.

Absolute joke

Petty was far more better then Lever...

This is poor on Oliver.

Oh my apologies, I missed your part about being from another Melbourne club.

My guess is Simon Garlick

Lol yeah.. GWS are a bloody good side. Anyone who thinks otherwise has absolutely rocks in their head. They have some genuine calibre to come back into their side still, as do we.

Petty's game in defence yesterday was elite in my eyes. Had we won i feel like he would have won a lot of kudos in the media for that performance.

Based on what evidence would Roy George made much difference? Probably speaks volumes on him that he's been overlooked twice for the SPP position especially considering he's been training with us the whole summer and yet we still overlooked him. I want to see some form first at VFL level before we further assess if he's actually any good.

He still spent 63% time in forward half. I'm not suggesting Howes had a good game, but Steven May out meant we only had Howes as the only ideal match up due to his speed and height. Rivers was on him down back in the last and still gave him way too much leg rope for my liking for such an experienced player.

Not really. Howes had the job on Toby Greene and soon as he got subbed out Greene went ballistic in the last quarter having 11 disposals and kicked 1.1 Speaks more volume on Rivers who was incredibly poor defensively on him in that last quarter then anything, especially to allow him to have that kind of impact the way that he did.
