Agreed best to write off, especially heading into pointy end of the season. Sad but these are not normal times.

Disappointing day, flat all over the place and delivery into the f50 was poor. At the end of the day people were speculating what round Goodwin would lose his job this season, we’re going into the bye with 2 losses Little rest and hopefully a kick Up the backside for the players. Get Viney and BBB into the team and we go again.

Yeh not the worst idea, I mean other players have had lots of Burgo experience both during last season and the off season, BBB a year behind some of them and also missed time off with knee injury. The way we are running out games, I am happy to trust the Football Department when it comes to fitness/sports performance. Once his fitness reaches the next level i have no doubt he will explode.

Also a little confused why a 25 year old Langdon is being talked about being replaced, made me feel real old aha

I guess it was a bit of a Stretch to think they were related.

Nathan Buckley is poised to step down as coach of Collingwood, midway through his 10th season at the helm of the Magpies. Buckley was expected to tell the football department and players of his decision on Wednesday morning, ending months of speculation about his position. Sources said it was most likely Buckley would finish up after coaching the club against Melbourne on Queen’s Birthday but The Age has not confirmed whether that will be his last game. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/nathan-buckley-to-step-down-as-collingwood-coach-20210609-p57zd3.html

ITS BACK! EDIT: I HAVE ONE ON PRE-ORDER

Fascinating isn't it. You'd assume a coach would want to appoint his own backroom staff, but somehow he's been attached to several coaches who ultimately got the sack.

Take a chance, players can turn form around. Who knows what the $ will be, but definitely some marketing opportunities arising from a trade too.

Looking at those Brisbane game stats, i'd definitely be hiring someone to walk around and write down everything Burgo says and does word for word aha.

How many of you have taken up the GFG? Made a joke about the itchy trigger finger at the start of May, I can tell you right now the SAFETY is off.

Mate sent me a similar message after the Brisbane game, we're both mid 30s and he said it's the Best Melbourne team we've seen in our lifetime, have to agree with him. Footy has changed a little so hard to compare BUT we're 11-1 and should really be 12-0, so hard to argue against that point

Viney injury not ideal, but at 10-1, no point rushing him back which could potentially be to his detriment. Don't mind the cautious approach, but as @Lord Nev said - injuries are complicated - esp. Feet.

"I like XXXX"

Just want to buy one and have Mayzy and Kozzy sign it but all adult ones sold out Seemingly some Youth Large still available, that may be best option. Out of interest, what do player auctioned ones usually gone for? Why won't New Balance crank more out, beautiful strip - looking forward to seeing it in action

Starting to worry about the Queens Birthday Match. Would have been a good $ for the club and for the Fight MND cause.

SOMEONE GIVE ME A EDDY LANGDON UPDATE

Word on the Street it was Max Gawn at the LARP event Carlton! King Max! < / joke >

Has it sold out? Make some more New Balance!

This is what Max said on radio on the 18th "I've got no idea. I haven't seen too much of him. I always knew that he was targeting the Adelaide game and I haven't heard that he's had a setback" Max Gawn on Jack Viney and whether he'll be available this weekend This is what Viney said on the 10th “I will be cherry ripe for the Big Freeze, that’s for sure, but in terms of when I come back, (I’m) not 100 per cent sure, but it is tracking really well,” Seems Big Max went off a bit early?

+1

Yep. I don't doubt Burgo, but agree we're in a good position and no need to rush people back especially when there's a little buffer in the ladder and plenty of games to go.

Yze/Williams definitely adding a lot. 2019 was a strange year, May only played 8 games (2 Wins, 6 Losses), Lever played 8 games (0 wins, 8 losses) - only played 3 games together. 2020 was about gelling for these 2, and we're getting the benefits this year. In terms of the forward line in 2019 the leading goal scorers were Trac (22), Hunt (21), Fritsch (20), Tmac (18), so far in 2021 we already have Fritsch (21), Tmac (16), Kozzy (15). So seemingly performing at both ends. Hard to read too much into 2020 due to COVID. It's hard to judge Goodwin, but there have been some good additions on/off the field the last 2 years coupled in the fact we potentially overachieved in 2018.

Already won as many as last season. I've been to 7 wins this season, loving it.
