I have a feeling she keeps talking about the billion dollar project she oversaw around the tennis precinct because she can't tell us what is going to happen at our home base under confidentiality restraints. But she is just letting us know she will get the job done. I'm backing her in.

Absolute ignorance. A cardboard cut out could have captained us on Grand Final day as well. It was a collective effort from the President down

Oliver Twist

Every time I hear Kate Roffey speak I love her more. I've heard reliably she wasn't even concerned in the 3rd when we down because she thought we had the best team, the best coach and the best captain. I'm backing she will get us the best facilities.

Goodwin can coach from the bench because he can trust Yze and others in the box to make calls. He also does it to predict the momentum from ground level. If the opposition get a run on he decides if it is due to our structures, matchups or a bit of luck. He is proving to be very good at it.

Stiff!

When we drafted Oliver 6 seasons ago if anybody said we would ever be discussing him in the same sentence as Flower I would have told them where to go. Now I think it's warranted.

It was a few years ago now. Everyone thought Cripps was better except Dees supporters. You won't find many saying Cripps is better today.

Weid's biggest problem is he can't bring the ball to ground. He gets in position then just doesn't seem to even get his hands on it. T Mac finished top 10 in the B&F in a premiership year. I doubt his spot is up for grabs.

Flower will always be a legend of our club. The skinny kid with glasses, not built like Truck or Oliver but was as committed and as gutsy. He would be hoping that Truck and Oliver put him down the pecking order of Melbourne greatness with a dynasty.

Are you sure? They are obviously not in Brownlow because not every team plays. But it would make no sense to stop the votes during the most important games of the year.

First premiership coach in 57 years is entitled to whatever he wants. He works well on the sidelines with Yze in the box. I hope we can keep them together.

When he wins the Norm Smith next year let's hope they forget to give him the microphone like what happened to Goody. Public speaking might not be his strength but playing footy is and that's the main thing.

Not only did Clarry win the B&F in a premiership year he also has the most famous symbolic gesture in the MFC modern era when he raises his arm after his goal in the GF. Truly one of our greatest ever and at 24 he might prove to be our greatest ever.

I used to live 2 doors down from Clarko. When I came home from a very long lunch I saw him in his driveway and asked him if he would prefer Cripps or Oliver. He said Cripps. I argued. No wonder he got the sack. He was great bloke though by the way.

When Oliver and Petracca play over 90% time on ground we don't have as many rotations as you think.

Sparrow could be a superstar but I doubt he will break into our midfield next year. Petracca, Viney or Oliver would need to be injured. We have an exciting list.

I think Chris Judd's grandmother said it's a chance. Maybe he could carry the water for Oliver and Petracca.

I have a few mates with soil from the last Collingwood game at Victoria Park but I know it's legit because those ferals have photos of them digging it up themselves.

Hopefully Taj takes number 22 You would hope the next number 2 will be a gun maybe Laurie? Or retire it until we get someone JT is confident will continue the tradition.

Oliver easily. Petracca had more brilliant games but even in the GF Clarry took out Bont and let Truck star. Selfless. In the talk with Barassi and Flower for greatest Demon of all time. Isn't yet but he still has a decade of football in him.

It's very rare I disagree with you RBG. But... Pike was no Saint at Brisbane.

There were 2 Jackson's that were instrumental in the premiership.

I was having a bit of a joke but the Bulldogs would have to go ultra defensive in round 1 after the GF. If we just stream out of the centre questions will be asked about Bevo

In round 1 it wouldn't surprise me if the Bulldogs mids set up a wall at centre bounces like soccer teams do just to stop us moving it forward
