9 times so far this year, the previous 3 years it was 8 for the season. Highest under Goodwin was 12 in 2021 inc the 3 finals. Also have kicked 5+ points in a qtr 10 times this season, 14 last year -

Spargo gets 2 kicks a game and neither travel further than 30m and never kicks goals himself. He is not the answer.

The medical staff will enjoy having him around for another year... Has to be right up there with the absolute worst trade ever. I'd just delist him and save on medial supplies cost.

I meant that he is a Richard Head.

I mean you don't get the nickname "Purple" for nothing.

Nah change it to "Get Dogga in our mouths" 😆

Seriously, this has made my day!
No. Its not official yet. Don't jinx us!
TBH I think the Ox had a bigger ceiling than any player in the AFL
You do forget to a small degree just how good he was. Well done Gaz, was a joy to watch over the years.
So this would kick in after the current contract or does it also change the value of the contract he is on?
I think Kolt could be very good, or very in and out. But I dont think it will be from a lack of trying. Buckley mad a good point this morning where he said most teams lose it in the last few minutes, Collingwood dont, they dont necessarily win it, but they dont make themselves lose.
Just probably that "things are still in the works" "Be Patient" etc etc :P
I reckon both will benefit by the likes of Langford and X next year, players who can run through the middle and use it better but also open more space for them.
Yeah the young kids are showing some good mettle. I'm gla to see Tholstrup get into the game, he has the ability to be a very hard working player who influences games if he can put it all together, sort of like Rayner is finally doing at the Lions
I don't subscribe to the corrupt umpire thing, do I think they make horrible calls, sure but we get them too. But they are an uncontrollable in a game that's full or controllable instances. And we have made way too many bad decisions in the game to say they are the reason.
It’s the same ol’ same ol’ isnt it. Now forget the umpires, they are an easy out and an uncontrollable entity. What we can control is Fritta playing on twice without looking, one led to a turn over and a goal, the other a point instead of a sure goal. Disco kicking long to an out number when he had 3 teammates within 10 meters and 1 filth player. Turn over, goal. Kozzie trying a don’t argue in tight spaces, then putting the ball on the ground, 50 meter penalty, goal. The usual blasting forward to contests in our f50 (usually outnumbered). However had how many interceptions by the end? We didn’t try and negate him, just kicked it at him. When we had all the momentum in the second qtr we still managed to kick 2.4 to 4.0, classic Melbourne. How many missed tackles did we have? How often did Sidebottom run away and through our players? We have only ourselves to blame as per usual, but feel free to hate the umps if it makes you feel better.
I mean is it Goodwin telling them to bomb in long as per the years prior, or is he now telling them not to and they aren’t listening to him? We burn chances at hitting a target for a long bomb to a contest (mostly outnumbered) like no other club ever has. Why are we always outnumbered? Because every coach knows we still bomb long, occasionally we get out head right and play smart, mostly it’s under 10s slam it on the boot stuff. But he ain’t being sacked this year or this off season. We can’t afford to pay him out, so buckle up and “enjoy?” The ride.
Just cut and paste one of the thousand we can’t hit a target in f50 with a billion inside 50s and still behind/loss.
