Roost it far

Is there a chance we loaded from Port game to now to set ourselves for the Pies whilst we've got 3, 10 day breaks?

Those criticising Pickett need to look at the fact he averages 1.9 goals a game and is equal second with goal assists. Sure he's not smashing it but he works really hard, is clever, makes the opposition nervous and can cut you to ribbons at any moment. I'm not sure what people expect from him but the chance of him getting dropped is less than zero.

My partner was called a stupid tncu for cheering a goal last year, she’s not coming. That was in the MCC members!

He’s a big big big fella our Jimmy Gadson, he’ll be there in spirit

I went to both Collingwood games last year and swore they were my last. The overt aggressive support is no fun to be around. Gone are the days of the fun banter between supporters. At Collingwood games it's a barrage of froth, bubble and aggression. I'm no prude but I'm not interested in being around scum who swear every second word........in saying that I'll be there on Monday!

Nah… Roo clunking one 55m out on the members half forward flank and calmly slotting it through as the siren sounds.

I think you’ll find he’s a very regular attendee of games. People are allowed to go away and still want others to front up.

Lucky you, working of holiday?

Are you going?

You listen to the scribes fawn over us next week. here we come baby and it's going to be awesome.

6.50 would be heaps better but does that give people time to get home from work and then to the footy? Is that too early for prime time tv? 7.50 is good because it gives you time to grab a well priced, good meal rather than wasting money at the ground on crud

I’m with you, I actually think the Sydney game is the toughest.

You know you’re old when 7.50 on a Friday night is too late.

You can’t talk Premiership without talking about Melbourne

Let Kozzie go for the odd hanger, FFS the funs beaten out of everything these days. We handed control to accountants, lawyers and bankers and it ain’t supposed to be that way

I still wonder if Oliver will actually play

Big fella, big fella, big fella!

Thanks for your observations. I’ll stop critiquing the kid as it clearly offends some. It’s not meant to although my tone isn’t always great

It’s not saying that. It’s saying ignore the noise you know you’re right. I’m actually not bagging him, this is a cut throat business and I don’t see enough strengths for this guy to become a regular player at the level. You may believe differently and that’s fine. Isn’t this a discussion forum? you’ve resorted to abuse as your form of discussion I’m just stating what I see. Maybe watch a few Casey games and give us your view of his strengths

Schache, c’mon champ keep up

Kids on his last chance, as long as he goes when it’s his turn I’m happy.

He’s bigger enough to impose himself. The Pies aren’t big

He’s Watts Mark 2 by that description

You said that not me. I stayed that of course I compare them. They’re the 2 young key forwards we’ve recruited. The fact you no longer want to discuss this is a relief to me

As I’ve said I’d love him to prove me wrong and that my opinion is worthless. I just see what I see. And of course I compare him to JVR as that’s the comparison of young forwards we have. Jefferson can’t yet hold his shoulders up, he looks beaten before he begins
