It makes me sick the long suffering hawks and cats fans get to see MORE finals wins when we've seen 5 in 20 years and 3 of them we weren't allowed to go to. Stuff footy. There is no karma.
Good. Until we fail to make the world cup the powers that be won't do the full review and implement the changes needed at grass roots. 1500 odd bucks for 12yos to play? Looooolllll
whoever loses tonight goes out in straight sets. whoever wins tomorrw makes a prelim in sydney.
whichever sydney team wins makes the grand final and probably wins the flag.
The ONLY thing opening round should be for is to give us, the tigers, bombers and pies byes around anzac day (and their opponents before/after).
anzac day is a friday this year so thats moot
honestly us fans deserve to see a finals win. hopefully at the MCG. for this to happen we need to have a good preseason with few injuries, but it is definitely within our potential.
It really does beggar belief that the conflict of interest the MRO has when dealing with collingwood players isn't talked about more. No one would expect me to be unbiased reviewing Melbourne players. He played 132 games and in the 1990 flag!!!
Ditto chairman of the tribunal Jeff gleeson who is also a collingwood supporter and I believe an ex coterie member? Not 100% on that
