  1. Lever and J Smith were around earlier. Not doing match sim. Non contact Melksham good skills in the wet during match sim
  2. Woey has put on considerable size
  3. Haven't seen Blake Howes ANB looking super fit. Seston has hips and legs like Lethal Leigh! Must build a tank though
  4. I'm here too. My God, Kozzie is all class. Very wet conditions but he's kicking like a dry day Haven't seen Blake Howes ANB looking super fit. Seston has hips and legs like Lethal Leigh! Must build a tank though Woey has put on considerable size Lever and J Smith were around earlier. Not doing match sim. Non contact Melksham good skills in the wet during match sim Fritter smothers Pig kick out of defence, collects, turns, snap on the left for goal. Classic Fritter Grundy last by a long way in every half ground run through Jefferson looks good but is very, very light. Knickname should be Pirate. Give him 12 months in the gym. Good hands and a beautiful kicking action. Needs time and development, but has much potential. Got a bit of it in match sim. JvR did well today, very assured, put on size over summer Setson and his tree trunk legs In the kick and mark session near the end I saw Grundy, Tmac, JvR and another drop 7 marks in a row. The marks that were eventually held were two or three grabs. I know it's wet and early January, but it no joke when fans over the fence are laughing at simple spilled marks.

  5. Interesting that in his interview Tmac pointed out his senior player highlight so far is Melksham, saying he is very fit and firing to go. Would like to see Melky have a good year

    There's space on the Collingwood list alongside Reef McInnes

    If Adelaide cast a wide net they should be able to find replacement
  8. Beautiful kicking action by Jefferson

    Didn't scale the heights expected. Career is fin-ished
  10. Here's your mates Picket
  11. Come on Picket Fence, your blatent bias against Spargo ignores the fact he has created a lot of scoring opportunities in the last couple of years and is probably our best kick inside 50. Spargs was down last year on his 2021 season, but is still above Chandler in the pecking order. Time will tell, but I'm personally more focused on score assists than who kicks them. I hear players in interviews going on about trusting the process, maybe we should too
  12. I acknowledge it was a poultry attempt at humour
  13. Really need Tom to get back to match fitness. There's a lot at steak
  14. Obviously they train over the summer break, each player has an extensive list of training targets they must complete

    Upload it on YouTube and then put link on here
  16. Except Spargo has been a pretty good forward score assist over the last two years and is our best kick inside 50... Some people are never pleased
  17. Yeah, Goody... what would he know. Bloke neva achieved anything. What a massive mistake. Ruined JVRs career FMD
  18. I clicked Sucker 🖐️ Thanks for the giggle

    So shall we petition for his resignation because he has some wealth? Perhaps a toothless Collingwood supporter could take the roll...

    Very multicultural of you!

    Perhaps he put in a fair bit of $ towards a sizable renovation/extension, and then there's the increase in price of real estate in general over 25 years. But I guess that doesn't fit your whinging proletariat narrative, does it... I'm not a class driven person, but tall poppy syndrome mentality is tiresome to say the least

    I don't get the ubiquitous use of flares by the dumb [censored] in the crowd. Even at Fed Square where the crowd was watching on a screen! I don't get players blatently staging for frees (yes, Aussie Rules has an element of that too, but its minimal) I don't get the intimidating push and shove with ref's by players. Its a blight on the game. We got on top of it quickly this last season, even at junior level. Still happens, but less and less I don't get that it often costs well over a thousand dollars for registration and club fees to let your kid play junior soccer (cf about $300 for AFL) I don't get that Australia are currently punching well above our weight re World Cup, but the skill level at A league games often makes me cringe Soccer has an amazing participation rate for kids under 10. That they can't convert this into adult level is perhaps a fortunate bonus for the AFL. Local events this last week mentioned in the OP make me less interested in the game
