Just have to admire the grit and determination of the Cats. I hate them as much as the Pies but I think they are favourites to win the flag after this performance. Time to launch some audits on farm ownership on the bellarine. No way can a team keep this much talent on their list with no one earning over a million a year.

Now the umps are not paying obvious frees against the Cars.

Unfortunately Cats too good. A damp deck hasn’t worked for the Lions. The Lions semte a far more skilful side, but Cats pressure is too much. What I’d give for our side to bring this type of heat once again

I pick my battles.

FOX just flashed up a goals from free stat… so it exits , now give us that stat across the whole season - would tell us a lot .

That is terrible umpiring. But I love it.

Lachie Neale is killing the Lions.

Didn’t he say last year that we looked to be carrying a bit of extra weight? We have not been fit enough for a while. Hopefully that changes next year

i thought smothering wasnt an excuse as a football act anymore after the Brayshaw incident? I could cope the DeGoey let off - i really can, but what i cannot tolerate is how MFC is continually taken to the cleaners at AFL house. May getting 3 is an absolute categorical joke.

Actions speak louder than words.

There is literally a 24/7 defence of DeGoey on SEN. At this rate they won’t even need to goto the MRO for a decision. It’s been precast.

When Collingwood supporters visit my house (friends of wife), I put plastic sheets on the couches.

Sickening to hear how the Fox pundits are trying to get DeGoey off. Ralphy was the only one who said it should be a week but Cleary got a call from the producers and changed tac to then say “ Christens should find a way to get him off” cannot make this up.

This is what it is for me. Strangely I have a lot of empathy for Clarry but not Trac even though Clarry to some extent was responsible for a lot that happened to him whilst Trac was not. It was the way that Trac bought the entire club to its knees in the aftermath of his injury that lost it for me. it was and continues to be unforgivable in my eyes - that is why i want him gone. I would much rather see Clarry rediscover his footy than Trac. Hard to explain but that is just the way i feel rightly or wrongly.

wow. that is some veiled comments that is. No secret he clashed heads with Selwyn when he did his hammy. That event can be seen as the trigger event that sent him tumbling down.

Where has this rumour reignited itself? i thought it was clear LJ was staying and that all the rumours were bulltish.

Doesn’t this mean Bucks would report to Bartel if all things came to fruition? Would Bucks be deterred or encouraged by that appointment?

How’s the media on projecting the ‘brilliant move’ narrative for bringing in Mason Cox for McStay! ‘He’s a proven finals performer’ etc etc. thankfully our own Gazza Lyon had none of it on 360. I’d be staggered if Cix isn’t subbed out at half time for his 3 disposals at 33%

Ok what about Cripps or Walsh or Merret? They are in a similar position to Trac are they not? Both on big money, could pursue success elsewhere etc. I don’t get why there is this particular fixation on Trac but not others. Now I’d like to get rid of him as well - he is on top dollar and can’t kick to save his life. If we can get Hawks (Blues) first round this year, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Some good tall defenders in the top 10.

There is something about this whole thing that just doesn’t add up. Ghostly has solid track record and I tend to believe what she has put up on McVee. However the delay in announcement is totally bizarre and should not have anything to do with coach announcement from a marketing perspective as we already announced some resigning earlier. So he either hasn’t signed, outright lied to Ghosty and all of us (by extension) and is waiting for coach to be announced before making his decision OR He has signed and there is a the ‘Bermuda triangle’ situation with his paper work and announcement script.

F me. What is with our club. This is the old hit piece. For what purpose we will never now, but I suspect that like most things this is internally driven.

Pies with no Hill or McStay. Daicos, McCreary, DeGoey all under injury clouds but will no doubt play. I hope they get flogged and go out in straight sets.

💯. All this activity at Carlton was MFC last year. Players wanting to leave, delistings and drama was Goody trying to salvage what he could last year. Carlton will finish bottom 4 next year. Take that to the bank. I’d also think Voss will struggle to make it to bye week. We have just seen this story to many times for it to finish any other way.

Lot of talk of Curnow wanting to get to Geelong. Now i dont think it will happen, but im super keen to hear how the media talk about this in contrast with Trac/Oliver last year. Already, it is being handled in a much more neutral way compared to us last year.

Wow Gold Coast Suns with 2 x top 5 picks and playing finals this year. I get to an extent that they need some access as they fail to cash-in on father sons, but this is another level. Needs to be made right, this is not fair to the rest of the competition. The Dees have been royally screwed by the GCS on numerous occasions. We know the Mac Andrews, but we were also stiffed with Noah Anderson, who should have been ours in the 2018 draft. The guy is now a superstar. Last time i checked its a national competition.
