whatwhat say what

Eddie: "A proud day for the Collingwood Football Club" Probably not what I'd lead with...

in the herald-scum, slobbo sais eddie everywhere should resign immediately; rita panahi has gone all 'lefties see racism everywhere' - it was LITERALLY a report into institutionalised racism

afl finally deign to address it on their propaganda machine site; they filed the aap report - what happened to the supposed independent journalistic integrity??

in a surprise to absolutely nobody, not a mention of the filth report nor the liam baker capsicum spray incident over the weekend on afl.pravda.com.au...

pies mate who has kept working in the industry has a fine theory... Timeline becomes clearer now: Report comes out, Nike say action needs to happen before we sign deal, Eddie forced to quit

wait til 30k go to the tennis every day for a fortnight...

if you class trac as more inside-outside, viney is a miles better footballer than any other inside mid option we have other than oliver, and his defensive tendencies are better than clarry the amount of opprobrium for a former captain and multiple b&f top 5 placegetter on this site is baffling we are a much better side when viney is up and going than when he's sitting on the sidelines; here's hoping for a quick and full recovery

i presume that's a public holiday?

much more sensible to have two than every man imaginable

can't see the likes of hibberd and brayshaw (or petty and hore) being part of any practice match situation i think we are allowed play a six man bench in the practice games?

not if a demon is the culprit...

i'd go zerrett over kelly too; he's bryce gibbs 2.0 i struggle to see zerrett leaving peptides, but i think kelly's movement might depend to a greater or lesser degree on what cripps at carltank decides

He joined the club hungry too...

he played six games in 2018 so...no he had a reasonable year on the back flank in 2017 but saying he was at aa calibre at any stage in his footballing career thus far is utterly laughable

oh sweet bbp, you sweet, sweet fella... when are the little piggies sprouting wings and taking to the sky??

and the $3.55 admin fee to have the privilege to do so

i mean the allowed capacity not how many will rock up :)

will be amazed if it's more than 25k

viney has lead from the front on the field, has shown loyalty despite approaches from other clubs, speaks with pride in the club in public, supports and backs his elder and younger teammates, and is always trying to get the best out of himself may was made co-captain of his side and walked out with a year to go on his contract, rocked up to his new club looking like he'd eaten a spare tyre, and as a 29 year old took a year to 'realise' what was required of him, after which he lead brilliantly on the field in 2020 i'd go viney for a leadership role every day of the week over may

it's not new news to these players all coaches have been saying the same to the same group since at least 2018 sometimes it just requires a fresh voice and a different delivery of the message to get through

based off recent training reports and rehab groups... rd 1 seniors B: Lockhart - May - Lever HB: Hunt - Tomlinson - Smith C : Langdon - Petracca - Salem HF: Melksham - Weideman - Harmes F: Fritsch - B Brown - Pickett Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Jackson - Spargo - Rivers - McDonald Emerg: Jones - Rosman - Sparrow - Jetta likely unavailable: brayshaw - hibberd - hore - petty

kornes doesn't really rate ruckmen despite matress and lade giving him silver service in his best years

retired: nathan jones michael hibberd neville jetta traded: angus brayshaw alex neal-bullen delisted: toby bedford aaron vandenberg james jordan aaron neitschke kade chandler mitch brown

very sad all the best to his family

biggest thing that pleases me from report is the amount of players in full training i find it interesting that melksham is training with the mids as i don't particularly find him valuable either inside or outside it concerns me a bit that hunt is training with the backs as his disposal is simply not nearly good enough based upon previous seasons to be running off the back flank but we shall see
