Very keen to see which group Smith is with and how he's pulled up from the weekend.

In times like this you do wonder if the player is getting the best possible representation from their manager. The career is short and all that he they want to get their client the best deal but you have to think of the mental effect on a young kid as well.

Took a massive step forward in this one. Caught in two minds at times but don't want to sleep on him and what he can bring.

Possibly. What do you reckon it would take to get him? 2nd and 3rd maybe?

Me too. I can see them falling off next year when everyone has film on them and some of their older guys get a little older but for now this is their shot and they are very much in it.

I'd like to see Jack Crisp get a corky this week and end this consecutive streak but that's just me.

Just a quick thanks to everyone who made it to the loading end party!

Don't look into it too much 1964_2 but it would make sense if it was the case. He's 20 and probably a young 20 to be fair, massive decision for anyone to make let alone a kid.

Still an upgrade on the surface from last Friday 😂

Very good point but T-Mac's contribution should never be overlooked in that finals series. The way he runs defenders out of position and 'creates space' made it a nightmare to defend against.

Thanks very much for posting, I've always wanted to learn more about how zoning worked.

And while I'm at it, it' pretty fair to say that Luke is never going to come across another person and mentoring figure like Max for the rest of his career.

Never really one to run with sources but I've heard from one who claims to have heard that LJ is flip flopping all over the place on this. Like a bit of a scatter-brain Jane.

Cant wait till multiple premiers are said to have 'dais'd' several times..

How much work do you guys think we need to put into Nick Daicos this week? There's enough film on him to know how damaging he can be yet teams still seem to let him off the chain? I guess it becomes a question of "Do we sacrifice a player from our proven system (Especially after it was successful against the Dockers) in order to tail a guy who could potentially run riot?". A lot of Collingwood's scoring opportunities do come from their backline. I would love to see how good they really are when this is taken away from them and they have to rely on clearance.

Probably not a full tag but we just need to be mindful of him at Collingwood kick ins and maybe at stoppages. He's just too good to let off the chain. I like your idea with JJ and Hibbo

A nice comment from King on First crack for a change. Talked about how Lever was able to peel off again at stoppage and how we made Taberner look silly in the process.

Hopefully week after week of down to the wire games catches up there as well.

For sure Homsar. Give Smith one more run and then maybe unleash him, would love to see him be a bit of an ace in the pack.

Tough one, had a fleeting thought about maybe having Harmes for a marking role on Nick Daicos. Dunstan is worthy of a callup though this has been a solid block of footy.

Very happy for you, that's awesome 😀

THEY DID WHAT?????

All eyes on the first QF for the Cats. Everything they do till then is elevator music.

These results stink this weekend. Doesn't take away from our magnificent result though. This season will be about who is toughest the longest.

The call felt like a bottom 4 clash rather than a top 4 clash. So much random conversation and talk about Jackson during the most pivotal part of the game.
