Might be the afternoon of slugging ice cold beers but I reckon we’ll make a serious statement tonight. Dee’s by plenty

Port are and always will be pretenders Dee’s by 20+

Not the result I hoped for (can’t see Brisbane winning this), but I’m encouraged by how average both of these teams still look. Neither of these teams are finishing top 4. We will though.

If God truly exists, the Pies will be 0-4 after tonight and I will question a lifetime of Atheism.

Not a huge fan of this, but I'll assume the FD knows something I don't know about Bill. Hope it works out in our favor somehow.

Not sure how people are arguing that Wright doesn’t deserve weeks. No realistic attempt at the ball which ended in a nasty concussion is pretty straight forward. And I’m sick of hearing about players “protecting themselves”. Give me a spell. The bloke going back with the flight didn’t get an opportunity to “protect himself”, so why should the 110kg guy running at full speed from behind get to? How about not committing to contact if you’re worried you’ll need to “protect yourself”. P1zzweak excuse.

I'm not actually too worried given how well our team defence held up with both May and Lever missing for basically a half of footy. Having said that, it is Hawthorn. We got great replacement options in Tmac and Petty. I wouldn't be surprised if they hold the fort really well at all. The only issue I see is needing Brown to get through the next batch of games while Petty is unavailable up forward. He's been really good and I hope his body holds up through this period.

Truly bizarre that 100% of the responses aren’t for Collingwood

Richmond’s forward entires are even more suss than ours

Very professional performance today. Good stuff.

I would like to see us destroy Hawthorn today. They are a very average football team. I want blood

I believe Hore's nickname is "Dirty"

I trust we will be strategic when Tassie comes in by minimizing our draft capital for that year, and possibly the next.

I wouldn't be calling for Sparrow to be dropped. From what I can tell he is doing enough execute his role without necessarily getting any rewards. Sometimes players need continuity of games to break through drops in form. Sending blokes to the VFL is not always the answer. Chandler on the weekend is a great example of that. No need to play around too much with a team that just beat the Dogs by 7 goals.

It’s no secret how damaging of player he is. Love kozzie in the middle. Love him anywhere to be fair.

Clarry is absolutely taking the p1zz

Credit to Goodwin. Our attacking method feels different. We are using the corridor more. Our field kicking has been good. We are taking a moment to assess the next kick attacking out of half back. I like it. Nice to have BB and Tmac back. Both are doing their job well. Clarry is a beast. Really loving the look of howes, Windsor and billings. Plenty to like!

Why couldn’t you be content saying you didn’t agree with my remarks instead of calling my comment stupid and demanding I support a player I already fully support? Is that how you talk to people in person?

Fair, have removed that part of my comment. You are a very unpleasant person however.

Not sure what’s funny mate. Just stating we have plenty of blokes that can play mid. What we don’t have plenty of is quality ball users and reliable key forwards. If we’re happy making finals and doing no damage come September then by all means, let’s not think outside the box.

My word you can be abrasive for no reason

It doesn't matter. Prudent business is exploring what the compensation would look like before making any decision (on any player for that matter). Simple as that.

Viney, Sparrow, Tracca, Kozzie, Rivers, Salo, Windsor - and in the two's AMW, Brown How many midfield options do we need exactly?
