Wingard is an anagram of "drawing" ... a long bow to suggest we'd be interested.

VOTES: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Is Daniel Cross still involved with the club in some capacity? Despite our two Christians, perhaps this is the year we Cross the River Jordan to the ultimate triumph and glory. (I know there are some spelling anomalies there, but I always try to overlook such minor mistakes. )

Free Kick Differential 2021
This saying (common in the USA)has always puzzled me as it indicates that there is some level of care. Surely "I couldn't care less" is more apt as it signifies that you don't care at all.

You could try listening to a radio broadcast or do as I do, which is listen to some favourite music. * * NOT "You'll Never Walk Alone".

POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton
It's pleasing that we won again without being at our best. It's sad that so many of our fans don't have a mute button and are FORCED to listen to BT.

NON MFC: Rd 09 2021
Collingwood fan forums would be a fun place right now. A creditable four goal first term, followed up by the utter mediocrity of one (ONE!!) goal for the rest of the game.

So, Wizard of Koz and phuket demon are one and the same poster. How many other aliases do you have? You should probably check which name you are logged in under before you respond to posts.

CHANGES: Rd 09 vs Carlton
We'll have a better idea tomorrow when Casey plays. That team has been announced (see Casey R 05 thread) and the only two missing names of those available for selection are Weideman and Chandler, which suggests both are in the 23 for Sunday (late changes excepted of course).

If it's a tattoo, it's the worst one I've ever seen. If it's a birthmark, I wonder how long he's had it for.

Leaving political allegiances completely out of it, it's instructive that a male former Premier is attacked for his actions but a female former Premier is attacked for her appearance.

Lets remove the Norm Smith Curse
That's funny, SWYL. He's starting to remind me of old mate Pickett2Jackson who "coincidentally" and uncharacteristically hasn't posted a thing for a least a week now.

CHANGES: Rd 09 vs Carlton
That resumes as from next week. We'll have to wait until Saturday evening to see our line-up.

What "survey"? I think most of us aren't even vaguely interested in the concept.

Fans will burn the joint down if he makes a hash of it.

Goodwin has confirmed that Weideman will come in to replace Jackson.

I think it was just after people started saying "anyways" instead of "anyway".

Luke Jackson Replacement - vs Carlton
There is a widespread assumption that, if Weid were to leave, he would automatically go to Collingwood. I understand the family connection but we don't know if he wants to go there or if indeed Collingwood are interested in recruiting him. Furthermore, they have very little to offer in return. Weideman for Daicos anybody?

Do you know what laconic means?

CHANGES: Rd 09 vs Carlton
Whoever suggested Bowey in is clearly a lad insane. Carlton-supporting acquaintance reckons Cripps won't play. Given his recent form, I'm not sure whether that would be a good thing or a bad thing for us.

Team Announcements Back on Thursdays
My sentiments exactly, Jaded. This press release from AFL Headquarters may help explain things. A WIN FOR FANS WITH LATEST BRAVE DECISION 19 minutes ago - available via the app Staff writer - 11 May 2021 Widely regarded for noble acts of selflessness, the AFL has continued to put fans first, taking a bold step in permitting Thursday night team announcements once again. League headquarters have been working frantically to solve a problem they created. The outcry from fans prompted the courageous decision. An administrator could not hide his delight today, when asked for comment. ‘We are just so thrilled to deliver the fans what they ask for. It’s one way to show just how much we value your contribution to our game, especially the financial one.’ The announcement finally landed after yesterday’s announcement about the announcement, and the announcement last week to announce that. The reintroduction does however, require teams to name their entire roster on Thursday evenings, with the final team decided seven minutes before the start of the match. ‘Yeah look it will present a great challenge to teams, selecting a side so close to the bounce, but we encourage this, it really fits with the league’s theme of making rushed decisions on the fly.’ This comes after the league made an equally heroic decision to return full-length quarters in 2021, irrespective of the fact this was the case for 25 years prior. ‘It is fundamentally about showing the fans how important they are. Not quite as much as our corporate partners and key stakeholders, but trust me - your views count,’ the executive claimed. ‘You are critical in ensuring our fat bonuses are paid…errr I mean, that our game continues to thrive.’ The league pointed to the incredibly successful introduction of behavioural awareness officers at matches, spying on fans, purely to understand what they really want. 'That is the sole reason we have employed these people at our venues…they are listening to every word you say.'
