Chook

So would you prefer to have a list of only 22 players, then? It wasn't our depth's fault we didn't make it. It was guys like Jeff White, Adem Yze, Russell Robertson, and even the great David Neitz who were at fault. If you're arguing that trading a player 25 and 26 for a player 10 is a good move, I'd agree with you, but that doesn't mean that depth is unimportant.

On the train coming home from the game. Duh!

Yeah. You tell 'em Dappa. You're totally in the right and haven't overreacted at all. /sarcasm

Just watching an interview with Cale Morton and if he wasn't so ugly, he'd get a spot on the Footy Show or whatever. He's comfortable in front of the camera and can make a couple of light-hearted jokes. Doesn't freeze up or anything. Just thought I'd add that.

Martin showing a few good signs, Macdonald oozing hardness like a big uncut block of granite covered in nails and dipped in razor blades. Strauss' kicking is great, but his one on one defense in stomach-churning. Sylvia is playing great. Bate is not getting many opportunities. Jurrah has spent a lot of this game on the bench. I think we're managing his game time a fair bit.

Strauss was terrible that quarter, as was Warnock and - apart from his nice grab - Trengove. Not good enough to be our ruck-rover yet at this stage. Jones looking very rusty too. Brilliant goal from Maric. Bombers look significantly better than we all thought they'd be this year.

Haven't you heard? It's now 2007. The floods, cyclones and earth-quakes should have been your first warning. Sh*t's about to go down.

Whoever would keep Collingwood in the limelight.

Exactly. At what point does the AFL have any views at all? If that statement becomes overused, it becomes meaningless. It's similar to the "no offense, but I hate you" routine. Hiding behind a catch-all line such as that can easily become counter-productive.

Bub sounds like he just stepped out of a time machine from the 18th century.

At the risk of sounding sensible, it's a top-level competition and I would only like people who are actually capable of calling the action doing so. Women can stick to goal umpiring (or anything else) they happen to be good at that.

What happened to the good old days when football players were sacked for being bad at football?

Beautifully put. Simple and understated.

Are you proud of that?

Just like in Toy Story. "You have saved our lives. We are eternally grateful."

But the biggest question about all this is "how do you pronounce the word yeew?"

The Internet's not some ritzy, exclusive medium with rigid criteria. I could have a website of my own, if I wanted; and I haven't done anything more significant than making my own toast for years.

Whoever let that Demon out should put it back in. It's not ready yet.

Martin + Riewoldt was, but as far as the real young'uns goes, probably not.

What's the deal with the dollar-signs and hash marks? It's Collingwood we're talking about, not Voldemort. The world won't cave in if you write their name.

I would prefer we didn't have a big white rectangle on our jumper, but as others have said, it doesn't really matter.

Then wouldn't it follow that those years and years are also necessary in the the building of a great side?

Cue the ski jokes with that "mountain range" strip.

Did you even read what he wrote? Because your response doesn't seem to have anything to do with Two Sheds' post.

I'm pretty sure that wherever you're going, you won't need any of those things.
