The issue with Weid appears to be mental - has all the tools but struggles with pressure

Loved him on Gus and Gawny, looking forward to it, can't get enough of him

If we assume BB needs a run first or gets covid, and we know mitch brown is injured, then we need a backup tall as an emergency to bring over. That would be JVW l suspect and would explain why he was held over

The extra 2 years were to smooth his contact out, and worst case, he becomes a very handy backup back or forward as he ages and others come on. Its quite normal for teams to have one or two bigs missing through injury at any time. Serms like he will be the one to miss this week though

So l think most understand the injury ranges aren't perfect but we keep an eye on how often we miss the mark. If it happens relatively frequently we get annoyed. Personally, l get more annoyed when the number of weeks is designed to keep supporter hopes up and will never be met or we have set back and we aren't informed. This used to happen alot under Misson (in action) but less so now

Looking at a 2nd short break plus its interstate again, so l expect some changes. Rivers, May and a few others looked a touch sore at times so it may sort itself out without dropping anyone. Lever l would get to play a half in the VFL first. BBB has to come back if he has not been infected, he was very good against the bulldogs. TomMac and Tomlinson are probably nervous based on the form of the big's alone. Port and GWS next round don't have big forward lines either - but we are short of players that can play back. So l think a small or medium non back will make way for BBB. Tmac could go back to defence as the 3rd tall to help the balance if that were the case

Not sure about that, they are just playing it safe by staying silent aren't they? If he has made errors the afl as his employer is likely also responsible. Infringing copyright or the like doesn't necessarily mean he made poor decisions in his role. Having said that l was always sceptical about his trade and the supposed neck issue

Same same

Not happy sharing facilities ... means we may have issies claiming sponsorship $$$ e.g Lexus centre

You can do both these days

l like Angus, who doesn't, but alot of fuss is being made about how he plays his role ... essentially its a traditional wingers role that has become rare in the AFL ... all wingers need to roll back into defence, hold their position when needed, break even or better on your opponent, occupy and create space with run, sneak down and kick a goal or two, be super fit etc .... hopefully Angus can continue his improvement and become elite in that position

Good to see the dees turn around the fortunes of another big key forward in Tayla Harris

If we are playing money ball, then Brayshaw has more value on the market playing in the midfield where he could become elite for the right team with the right fit, as opposed playing a handy defensive wing position ... downside is he is part of the fabric and culture we have built which is hard to value

Timing is interesting ... could be a bit [censored] off about what the doc indicated goidy said and dealing with it privately with the club ps l know what his dad said publicly what it not being a concern

I would have said Neville Jetta but he played in the AFLX premiership 😉 I think we lost 25 players to WWI and WWII. Would be great to have any of them back with a soft spot for Barassi Snr https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/554095/players-killed-on-active-service

All we need now is a wave pool to compliment the sand and supporters will come out of the wood work

l think we could have won a premiership with a fit jess also. Our list management team would have found a way to attract another key back or quality player as they have done consistently

l wouldn't be lumping jess in with watts ... jess trained his bum off and worked hard during games .. in his last year with us he was leading our b and f before injury ... his body language wasn't always the best but he was working on it ... watts rarely trained or played at high intensity for long periods

Beat them 3 times and only really tried for a quarter in round 23. Understand the spin he is putting on for his playing group but an in form dees beats an in form cats team in 2021 and the playing group would know that

For success starved mfc supporters, watching Robbie Flower captain Victoria and light up the wing (when it was a highly respected and competitive positron) was the closest thing we had to a final

Backing there will be a few more questions sent today ...

Might be good to understand why the QB clash at the MCG is a Collingwood home game in 2022, given we haven't been able to play there the last 2 years? If we count 2022, in the last 4 years Collinwood will have played 2 QB home games at the MCG (~$2mill revenue) and we haven't played any (probably generating a loss for games interstate)

If we count 2022, in the last 4 years Collinwood will have played 2 QB home games at the MCG (~$2mill revenue) and we haven't played any (probably generating a loss for games interstate). Seems unfair, might be a good question for the members forum actually

Saw this interesting chart which highlights what a premiership and sustained success can do for a club ... hope we can replicate it https://thenewdaily.com.au/sport/afl/2015/09/06/can-poor-club-win-afl-premiership/

Mate not sure why you are now trying to rewrite history re trolling comment. After I sent a detailed view on our performances under Goody, without any personal or emotive remarks to any of the posters here, you decided to mock me with an image for a cheap laugh and join the pile on. Don't agree with me, many others haven't on here about this topic, but do it in the right way Re the extension, I have said to 2025 so we aren't far off
