Time to promote the coaches award more

We need to stay within 3

Correct choice

Wow, Oliver had the medal that day

Nice to hear opposition champions talk highly of Jim.

Oh Heney! 1 vote

Expecting Clarry to poll well down the stretch but I fear Neale will be doing the exact same

Just drawing with this on in the background. Seems to be working well for passing time but not on the scoreboard

Gussy!

That was a crap vote

Ah sorry Spargypants

Neale is fav in my mind. Hopefully that helps reverse jinx it

Thought the umpiring was excellent last night. 1 or two decisions doesn't make a game, no matter how much people want it to.

At least we aren't going to jail

Nice

Exactly, why the hell can't players talk about the round they are playing in? Give us a spell!

When does this thing start? Still mot home yet

Haha no problem. Yeah would be harsh to judge Howes on today. Can't wait to see a full pre season and an injury free run for him.

Just couldn't get it done in the end

That's game

Palms it down beautifully

I'm going off his whole season of VFL footy. Averaged 18 touches and nearly 2 goals a game. Always played with intent and the pressure we need. Should have been rewarded more often.

Build on it

It just worked so well for the Pies and few teams could stop it. If you didn't absolutely knock them out early you were done. They pressure and pressure then their quality leaders use the ball well and when their X-factors shine its gane over. They also have guys who can kick it through the big sticks. It was an unknown quantity this season because they would hang in there then as the opposition tired they go bang through the middle amd were very good at transitioning. Surge mentality and putting all the odds in their favour to score. This gets worked over a lot in the summer and a tiny drop off in their pressure levels will see them back in the pack. It should also be said that they had a very good run with injuries barring Adams and maybe Moore for that period. Things will be different next year, Cameron will be studied hard, Cox will probably get targeted the way he targeted others this year. They have a good nucleus but I'm not sold on them challenging for the flag and something really needs to be done about this. We are meant to enjoy a sustained period of Collingwood non success yet we've only had last year. Fix it now or the government should step in and do something about it.

Speaking of puddles, I had to help a woman who unfortunately got her pram bogged in the grass outside Ikon Park. The mud was THAT bad.
