FLASHBACK: Rd 02 2001 vs Adelaide

The political machinations at Collingwood
What a bizarre world we're in where the boards are dominated by threads like this, and none related to "is Goodwin the right guy", "Trade Petracca" etc.

Poor old Eddie. He could be out playing golf, surfing, cycling, business stuff, but no, needs to play this.

Why Oliver is More Dangerous Than You Think
Still paying $19 on Ladbrokes for the Brownlow. They're offering cashout on Petracca at 2-1 (he was 13-1 at start of season). And they were offering cashouts at 3-1 the other day which shows they think he is less likely to win than last week. Demons were 26-1 on Ladbrokes start of season (I had 10 on them), Ladbrokes is now offering early cash out at 4.16....gone up from $3 last week. The money is coming in for the Dees it seems.

A Danger Game
Can you imagine this being posted on “what they’re saying at Goschs Paddock/Casey Fields/insert other place “ on other forums - most other fans wouldn’t be able to understand such ripping repartee like this and the Dunstan bit above. Too much humour, intelligence and correct grammar. It’d be lost on most.

A Danger Game
I would like to see us come out switched on and hard and get ahead early. AFAICR we haven't done it yet, with ruthlessness.

Why Oliver is More Dangerous Than You Think
If he kicked more goals he might get more attention. But yeah, Tracc, Gawn and Salem take votes. Be interesting to see how Saint Ed Langdon polls. Man I love him to bits. Pops up on the goal line to touch on the way through. Mr Everywhere. My current jumper has #13 for Jako and Oliver but the next might have to be #15.

TICKETING: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
Domainfax article. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/not-so-marvellous-afl-optimistic-despite-drop-in-crowd-numbers-20210516-p57scw.html Niall, Wilson and Gleeson are onto it. It's all too hard. Vaccine hesitancy probably not helping.

The most wins/highest ladder position
What games are likely losses, do you think? I was going to say Cats at the Cattery, but we did nearly beat them (thanks Max! (again)) there (I think 2018) and we are better now (but they have Cameron, so...). I'd say Port, Eagles, Geelong and one of the Bulldogs games. Brisbane line ball. Of course, there's a chance we go 20-2 or 19-3. Long way to go. The other way of looking at it is likely wins. Suns, Bombers, GWS, Adelaide x 2, Hawks, Pies, maybe a Dogs game - that puts us at 17, perhaps 16.

TICKETING: Rd 10 vs Adelaide
Interesting article in Domainfax about how all the difficulties around ticketing and the Kayo offer/Kayo in general is keeping people away. As an interstate member I looked at the Carlton game, followed the instructions in the email to a letter and wasn't able to get a ticket. I'd have thought you want to make it as easy as possible. Of course, ticketmaster's horrible system doesn't help.

My Round 10 Preview and Prediction
Good assessment - Adelaide over there should hold no fear given our team . I’d love to know if home ground advantage presents any real advantage in recent times given how much playing away from home last year. Perhaps Optus and the Gabba might be a factor still

The Significance of 9 Wins in a Row

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Past performance doesn’t guarantee future returns. Take your point but we could be on the end of some thrashings and see a dramatic drop. I manage risk and to me this seems like useful outcome on some fronts. You are right that continued 4 goal wins are useful but despite wins of similar magnitude our % is dropping off. Technically you could restrict a team and mete out a thrashing. Eg 100-40 etc.

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton
I agree - we need to take the opportunity when presented to bury teams and get the %. It could mean the difference between 1 and 2 or 4 and 5..... You can't sit back waiting for a team to make mistakes. What if they don't.

How's TMac's floating-across-two-touch-one-hander in the pocket, when he floated across and snatched it from BBB? TMac is making it look easy, even in the wet. What's up with Weid?
