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

I reckon Jordie McKenzie could play a role now. He fits alot of our criteria.

Thompson was out at Home House, Geelong's nightclub famous for party drugs and late nights during his tenure.

I would say at least 3 of them. I don't know about Cox.

Oliver won the coaches award and when the GF was in the balance in the 2nd half played on Bont and gave the widely regarded best player in the league a footballing lesson. Petracca player one of the most dominant performances in a grand final ever. Gawn is now a premiership captain and AA captain and dragged us there at stages. (Hello Geelong twice) Viney always turns up in the big games and helped build the culture. Not near the best ever yet but they could give it a crack over the next few years. Jackson and Sparrow would walk into any other side's starting midfield but they have to wait and just rotate. Promising times.

When our backline is talked about May and Lever have been fantastic and get the glory but anyone who doesn't have Salem in the same picture hasn't watched enough of Melbourne.

I thought this was going to be about the wingers club. There is alot of talent waiting to come in and I'm sure there is another Bowser up our sleeves with JT recruiting but given we put on show the biggest demolition in just over a 1/4 in GF history I don't think any of the current players would be concerned about their spot.

What are the odds of Collingwood winning the wooden spoon in both women's and men's leagues?

If the Brisbane Lions lost Voss, Simon Black and Akka they wouldn't still be talked about as one of the best sides ever.

The Oliver / Petracca combo is a great point. It's obvious because they both spend so much time in the midfield and centre bounces together but the chemistry between the two coming into their prime is why we won a premiership and why we are favourites again next year. We've all watched the GF replay plenty of times but the number of times Oliver gets it to Petracca or vice versa and the recipient does damage is incredible.

Now I say "go pies" just for [censored] and giggles

I thought the 7000 mile kick was going to be Kozzie or Spargo landing one in Chocko's roofless car for kicking practice.
