I love the guy. Doesn't always get it right but does anyone? Effort and grit in spades.

Just my 2 cents. I don't know what game a lot of people were watching? Melbournes defence was superb, no one else in the comp withstands that first quarter. Carlton would have been 8 goals up. They had it locked in but couldn't get through. A lot of people saying all we did is bomb it long into the 50? That's because Carlton was set up brilliantly and that's all we could do. Did you all miss the 100 times they did the same because we blocked them off? There's a reason it was a low scoring game and that's because both teams defence was on point. No leads in the last 2 mins someone said? How do you lead when there is 28 players in the 50? Lead to where? What space? Melbourne actually played very well, unfortunately for us, so did Carlton. Best 2 teams going at the moment for mine. Skill errors and possibly selection are what lost us the game but not much they can do when the best forward we've had for a while breaks his foot the week before. Keep tinkering Goody. C'mon boys, you've got this!

I thought we actually played very well for large periods of the game. Our defence held up to that first quarter onslaught brilliantly. As much as it sucks we were very narrowly beaten by the in form team in the comp at the moment and had plenty of chances to put it away. Definitely missed Petty's abilities and I think Oliver will be better for the run. I actually think Grundy performed well in the ruck but as a forward target I don't think it's there and to keep pushing it will be to our detriment. No question other than the usual forward line setup ones but I'm sure that will be covered. Just a bit of a rant and possibly a counterpoint to all those doomsayers saying that we were terrible.

Not a question but could we get some love for Nibbler. So often everyones punching bag for whatever reason but he was excellent and has been for the last few games. Also so good to see Kozzy nail some of those trick shots. My kids absolutely love him because of these sorts of things. Our house erupts with a giant yell of "KOZZY" any time he looks like he's about to go for goal.

Hi guys. Love the podcast. Quick question for you. Our normally stingy defence has conceded quite large scores in the last few games. Is that directly related to our re found scoring ability? Is there something structurally the Dee's are doing that enables more scoring that takes away from defence or have the last couple of teams just picked apart our backline? Thanks

I need Binman to make me feel better. Tell me it's all going to be ok. A domination everywhere but in front of goals. Surely we see the Melbourne we know is buried in there somewhere next weekend. No rain at Marvel.

Like Binman I tipped a loss this week. So far every team bar the Saints have lost coming out of the bye. It's painfully obvious that there were some tired legs there. 4th quarter shows it, just couldn't quite keep up anymore. Not to mention rain and a fresher Geelong who I believe will start to hit their straps now. I think we showed a good amount of fight up until 3 quarter time. Question for you guys is. Do you think dropping Tommo for Petty was a good idea? I actually see room in the team for both. The Petty forward experiment was just starting to bear fruit before his unfortunate injury. I think we need to land on our finals forward line now and give them a chance to really gel and work together before the sharp end of the season. Also do you think once Clarry comes in we give Viney and Petracca (at different times) a game off to have them cherry ripe for finals?

I've got seats in M10, couple of rows back from the fence. They were a gift so no choice available. Am I going to be in Collingwood heartland? Still a day out at the footy, won't worry me too much just need to let the family know what we are going to be in for!
