  1. Maybe it's the boorish attitude of many Collwd supporters that should be called to account, especially the booing of Geelong (Hawkins?) when the players were on the dais. That was very very poor and reflects badly on Australian sporting culture.
  2. how much the cost of the buckley/ malthouse fiasco? the coming weeks and possible recriminations will be interesting. collingwood, esp. eddie got ahead of themselves.
  3. Couldn't watch it after woeful beginning. Why can't the indigenous code have an Australian musician/s.
  4. Burgin didn't mention this one: 7 Grand Finals betw. Melbourne and Collingwood, all except 1958 play-off won by Dees. 1926 Win 1939 Win 1955 Win 1956 Win 1958 Loss. 1960 Win 1964 Win
  5. The holy trinity: 1. Gary's 'shopfront' role on the Footy Show; 2. Gary's on-going role reviving the club as MFC's "No.2"; 3. Gary continuing to maintain that he doesn't want the job on a long-term basis.
  6. Perhaps this has been mentioned already, but Jack Grimes' leadership award at the B & F raises questions about the on-field brigade, esp. the captain. Having said that, Green has been courageous with the Dees, often having to punch way above his weight. Is there a better contested pack-marker on our forward line? Not at present.
  7. do they have any father-sons in the pipelline?
  8. this is trash talk & disrespectful to the club.
  9. As witnessed by MFC supporters, Sheedy's currency is vendettas and paybacks. Watch the aussie rules clubs tuck into "GWS" players once his Burke and Wills adventure founders. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/sheedy-wants-to-make-the-dockers-pay/story-e6frf9io-1226144247567
  10. Funny how jack said that the whole club had changed since neeld's arrival, yet jack is yet to meet the coach.
  11. All the bad feelings of this season have washed away, and optimism for our club has been re-ignited with Neeld's arrival. our overly complicated finals system, overlong home and aways and overloaded number of clubs for the moment play second fiddle to a brutal short pre-pre-season of coach culling and new appointments: Neeld, Lyon, McCartney and Verdun Howell for Stkilda. Accompanying the new appointments are the declarations and photo ops of the new coach/es, but what goes up must come down, and the reality check will come once the coaching appointments season concludes and 2012 reality hits. Having said all that, I hope Mark Neeld raises the mighty demons back to the ladder position they held when I got my Ron Barassi boots in Grade 4. I have waited long enough.
  12. Did Darren Lockyer injure his vocal chords playing rugby and is he completely mad? (proposing to play on w/e). Someone who is familiar with this code pls assist.
  13. Checker-Hughes: Demonic Smith: Terror, intimidation, charismatic. Beckwith: Ridley: Inspiration. Skilton: Hard, uncompromising. Jones: Big Carl: larger than life (edit) Barassi: charismatic, Intimidation, terror. Northey: Dour, walk the talk. Balmey: Laid back, laconic. Daniher: Laconic, Laid back Bailey: The teacher. Neeld: ??? Feel free to add/subtract or differ. Thanks, bad mistake, he lifted the whole team with his strength
  14. 25. Multiple moving targets, especially for kick-ins.
  15. Stretch, Viney, Spalding, Johnson and Dean all came to the Dees around the same time and gave the club a badly needed boost after nearly twenty five years of nothing. He was a key player in that 87-91 period where we won a host of finals and should have won a premiership.
  16. Craig to Melbourne, acc. to Demonology.
  17. a tiny pin-[censored] by mm against the collingwood establishment vis-a-vis his own position.
  18. I know i have the video of this game out in the shed, but I found this: still gives me a lift watching this game.
