I think we could easily sell him the dream of midfield opportunities in the near future, but is he worth it & would North let him go for anything less than a 2nd-rounder? Surely they can’t take a hit that size this soon.

Will Phillips? No, but seriously, actually slightly interested in others opinions here - is there anything to salvage?

Any updates on this?

I think you’ll find it’s actually Bohdan Babijczuk.

Surely you can see we are experimenting with our midfielders and half-forwards in other roles against lowly opposition, to adjust the mix and provide greater flexibility? It’s not because we don’t have any better starting mids; it’s about giving us options.

Uhhhh, not sure about that.

Short highlights package. The lowlights would run a lot longer... Tries his guts out which is great, but we could do with an upgrade. In relation to him finding the ball at critical moments, I wouldn’t discount this being by the design of the opposition, in full knowledge of the likely outcome.

Mushrooms. Par for the course with this group. If you think they treat the supporter base with contempt, you should hear how they talk about Casey.

A Feasibility Report does represent a sizeable financial commitment towards the report itself, so you’d have to hope there’s some proper confidence it will proceed. However I doubt they’ll expect the cost estimates we’ll receive (let alone the actual costs). The club will be basing their own estimates on the cost of Casey which will be outdated & not appropriate. For a similar facility at Caulfield my guess would be in the range of $100-120m.

Melksham, Hibberd, May, Lever, Tomlinson, Preuss, Brown, Langdon, Dunstan, Grundy, McAdam, Fullarton...

All I’m hearing is excuses...

He was head of the Athletics VIC board, but was certainly acting in Collingwood’s best interests with his decisions. Had AV pay for the rebuild then quickly relocate once the new home was complete. Nothing suss there.

Noted by who? Herself? What big projects? It’s all a furphy.

Well then... you’re mad.

Point being? His pressure acts, 1%ers, effort, gut running, etc. border on elite, but you’re mad if you think he shows composure with the footy in hand. If he could consistently execute under pressure he’d be AA.
