Todd Marshall is developing into a very good KPF Decent game this

I think dogga will be a great player. I want him to commit to us. But his non-commitment is really starting to become an issue for me. We're the premiers. We can offer everything he needs to succeed and develop at the MFC. We should not need to be convincing him to stay. He is obviously torn and i get it. The pull of home can be very powerful. But i'm not sure having a semi-committed player yearning for home is worth the hassle. We've been down this path with Jesse and we all know how that turned out If he doesn't sign his contract soon then we may have to accept the unpalatable truth and cut our losses. Otherwise it'll the same rumors every trade period. Too destabilising.

A nothing story So what exactly has De Goey done wrong here? He's entitled to a holiday and he's entitled to dance badly. Hasn't broken any club rules. The HUN just trying to create a story out of nothing much What he has shown is a lack of professionalism. But we already knew that

Essendon must have done some loading at half time

rubbish free kick to Higgins

Butler butchered that chance royally

St Kilda look sluggish. Must be loading

Did he assault anyone this time?

Tiges wobbling. An interesting final quarter coming up

My money would be on Chunk. He'd handle Howe easily Reckon Viney has been in plenty of scraps with team mates

Max has been very durable considering the amount of punishment he takes every week. He’ll get a good rest now and will hopefully be fighting fit come September. That’s when we really need him Jackson is still too callow and can’t carry a heavy load. A big body needs to do the lions share of ruck work. I thought Daw was on our list for this reason. Not sure the Weid is the answer but would love to be proved wrong Not ideal scenario but you can’t go back to back without enduring some adversity. We had a dream run last year. We’ll have to show plenty of grit this time and the coaches need to re-invent the game plan but its far from a lost cause. I reckon 15 wins will get us top 4. IF we’re healthy come finals we’re still the best team In it. An inter-sate prelim should hold no fears The season is far from over. Just need to grind through this tough patch, get healthy and have a proper crack at September again

Think I’ll take a break from DL under after the bye. Leave it to the wrist slashers until then

Sparrow has been poor for a number of games now. Butchers the ball continually. He needs a spell

They're Collingwood supporters. What do you expect?

He was patchy today but far from our worst

Talk about defeatist. The season is not done We're in horrible form. I've no idea why but we won a premiership with this group of players last year. No reason to think we can;t regroup and push hard into September again

I was being sarcastic champ

Dire performance. We must be doing some serious loading because we have no legs. Flat as a tack. Ball movement like trickle. Fumbling and dropping marks. Rubbish forward 50 delivery. Won’t pick on any players because they’ll all out of form gus played well. Viney not bad. Petty before he was injured. Clarry stuck at it. were 10-3 at the bye so plenty of time to put things right. But we better get our mojo back soon or we risk top 4

Sparrow disposal is not afl standard.

We are so predictable

Turner getting pushed under the ball too easily rubbish htb call

And can our forwards lead once on a while. Not enough movement

No fluency or rhythm. Lead in legs. Hopefully pies poor goal kicking continues because they have more energy and zip.

Get a haircut ya hippee

On paper we are the better team. No question We've got the blowtorch treatment all week. It will focus our minds i reckon The pies are in decent form themselves. This will not be a pushover I expect a response from our boys. Big performance coming up Dees by 25 points
