Welcome to Demonland: Jai Culley
I would NEVER eat a kookaburra, especially the beak. Unless, the beak was done to a crisp and perhaps with a dash of lemon and pepper.

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Plus an"LJ" patented headband, no doubt.

2025 MRO & Tribunal
Snoop Dog's offending lyrics are still drawing revenue from Spotify. Perhaps he can re-direct these earnings to a worthy cause for the duration of the finals series.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
That outcome would make Nathan Buckley a modern-day Man of La Mancha, a la Kevin Sheedy...

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
I think junk-time goals are often unfairly maligned...

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
Like The Saints did to us....

What's Collingwood ever done for Melbourne?
I wouldn't say that was I wouldn't say that was a disgrace, more an act of great courage!

My 3 word player analysis V Bulldogs
Viney, a premiership hero and worth his weight in Gold. Disparaged by loose Canon "supporters".

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
And Norm Smith was a Collingwood supporter before joining The Fuschias.

Langdon's 200th
Langdon has been a wonderful acquisition to the club, but his tail-wagging-the-dog commentary on the sacking is confirmation that change needed to be made.

Who Will Be Our Next Coach?
If they go for horse then he should seriously think about reviving Pagan's paddock.

Trade Targets
No. It would be "player wears headband after going to play for Geelong".

May to Tribunal
You can't condemn Brayden Mayhem & "Archie" Moore and then excuse Steven May's "gentle clip". The fact is that there are far too many concussions in AFL and regardless of whether the armchair pugilists love this sort of stuff it needs to be taken out of the game well and truly or the AFL code will eventually be replaced by less violent spectators sports. Apologies in advance for calling Collwd players names.

Time to experiment
Absolutely Steven May at ff. He's playing angry because he's constantly playing stopper. I would doubt that Simon would entertain anything so out of the box.

Joe Daniher
I don't know about Jethro, but he certainly could be the latter-day re-incarnation of Big Bob Johnston, who like The Clampetts went west for a better life.

Time to go Goody?
We need to learn the lessons of history, especially the 60s. In particular, l remember an episode of Get Smart featuring a seductive character called "Simon the Likeable".

POSTGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne
Peter Hudson also look unfashionable at times, especially his "flat punt" strategy for dominating the ff position.
-
PODCAST: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne
The Herald-Sun is running an article about the various rankings of "destination clubs", with North apparently sitting 18th. I would be interested to know where we sit in the scheme of things, with a view towards targetting some established players for 2026.

POSTGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne
The worst example of this of course was the 2000 GF where Brad Green and Troy Simmonds both fell victim to football-type actions. Otherwise, it's a remarkably violent game, because it seems that what the punters, and head office want.
-
POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
Absolutely. There is so much group think about rotations, decision to "rest" him beggars belief.

PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide
A murder of Crows...

POSTGAME: Rd 14 vs Port Adelaide
The problem is we have no respect for our opponents, (thinking we are are still the fabulous INVINCIBLES of '21) hence all the inwardly-focussed savaging of our NQR'S. The problem is we lack a gorilla forward, hence all the savaging of our not-quite good enough goal-kickers who have to fashion goals out of extreme negativity. Tier One teams can just import whomever they like into their teams and just waltz up to the goals like the jolly swagman. We are expecting heroics out of Gawn, Petracca, Oliver et al, who are expected to be master extractors on every occasion, and in every situation. For a sober, black and white perspective on our goal kicking yips just look at all the slapstick misses and blunders by Barassi Townsend, Kenneally, Lord, Vagg etc (barrass0.4, Vagg 0.5, Lord similar) in the recently recovered HEROICS of '64 video. If by chance Froggy Crompton had not snapped our one and only last quarter goal we would no doubt have crucified that whole team into early retirement. And they didn't have a gorilla forward either, unless of course John Lord is accused of being a gorilla.

Swapping Petty & Disco's Roles?
Any of Parke, Dillon, Ray Carr, Russell Collcott or Chris Aitken would be handy. All one-grab marks.
