  1. Grundy has chronic back trouble. Leave Collingwood with the problem.
  2. Let us not forget… their last 2 goals came from dubious 50:50 frees
  3. Ashcroft is Johnnie Townsend’s great nephew, I think.
  4. I'm not normally a sesquipedalian, but I am a triskaidekaphobe,and that's one reason why I was so happy about our win over Freo.
  5. What about...."between you and I" etc. And..........He said it to "you and I" . It's becoming so commonplace to misuse the first person pronoun, that I fear it will become acceptable grammar.
  6. They’ll play finals there when the Reno is finished.
  7. As with Nick Daicos.
  8. I think the word “ definitely” loses all its impact when spelt “ definately”. Have others noticed this?
  9. I’ve been led to believe that McMahon was the only player on the Richmond list not to get a game the next season. ? ????Punishment
  10. If we’d had umpiring in Adelaide like Collingwood did today, we’d have won by 80 points.
  11. I reckon Adelaide are a good chance v Pies
  12. I'd like to know how many times Gawny has marked May's kick-in. I'd say very few.
  13. A “ holier than thou” Chookrat. who would have thought!?
  14. But the inferior side was kept in the game by umpires that were clearly influenced by the home crowd noise. At one stage it looked like Adelaide would win because of the umpiring.
  15. I think that was a great win. No rucks. No frees.
  16. AFL App says 24 frees to Adelaide 21 to us. That CAN’T be right!
  17. I’ll never forget Austin’s sheer delight at Optus Oval when we won the flag. He rushed on the ground with his mates to celebrate a Flag with the team he’s always followed. It must have been a setback to not be able to pursue his Demon AFL dream. Jack Bell is from Old Haileybury, too. A pity Majak didn’t retire a few weeks earlier to open a spot for us to draft him mid-year. That big Smith guy looks all right at Casey, too. I always thought McInerney looked promising at Casey.
  18. Courageous!!! That's for sure. I remember him repeatedly standing "in the hole" with Lockett and a pack coming flat out, knees in the back, to "make him pay". Very skilled, great mark for his size , and an accurate passer, and shot for goal. Remember that inspiring 50m. kick off the ground into the forward line, in that semi final v the Swans in 1987? I played golf with him a couple of times, and he hit it like a pro.
  19. The man OVER the mark!
  20. It's on Channel 7 at 2pm
  21. A neologism adjective, meaning wicked and aggressive.
  22. It’s amazing how similar Cotchin’s (over) -reaction was to Roger Dean’s when Ron Barassi didn’t strike him in 1962, leading to a 4 week suspension, missing the finals, and possibly costing us a premiership
  23. Does anyone know why Collingwood let Melbourne train on their oval this week?
