They better have stringent drug testing then.

Bit early to be calling Brayshaw a 1 club player.

Jordan Lewis and I don’t have him in the current best 22. The significance of his decision to come to Melbourne can never be undersestimated for the credibility it gave a previously basketcase club. It also reinforced to the players, staff and long suffering supporters we were not only on the right track but heading into contention for a shot at a flag.

I bet no one here can turn water into wine.

Mumford really needs someone to return the favour and flatten his nose. Might keep him out of trouble.

Two ruckman will be essential this year. With the new rule where you can grab it out of the ruck and not be pinged for holding the ball you can’t play a Jack Watts or similar as backup like we were 2 seasons ago. The full time ruckman will just grab the ball and take possession.

It’s not when he has the ball that he is a problem.

My mail is there will be 6 x 20 min quarters. subject to change at either clubs discretion throughout the match.

Welcome Nev to the leadership group in a premiership year. Makes up for all the AA teams you were rudely ignored in.

I know they are flying at the moment but Collingwood have had atrocious injuries over the last 3 years. They are the last club we want to follow.

I hadn’t seen that game at Casey. If he can take marks strongly where he has jumped and has his arms at near peak he will be a weapon. unfortunately, I think he is an average over head mark. With his body shape and pace he needs to be a Carey like mark and he is simply not. unlike other posters on here i’m not going to spend the rest of his career hoping he doesn’t make it because that was my prediction. I’m desperate for him to succeed.

We were spent by the west coast game. This year will be a different story. Those blokes with an interrupted pre-season are being managed correctly. The rest of the crew that have done a full pre-season started late to peak late like the other top teams. injury is no excuse in the last decade hawthorn, Geelong and Sydney kept getting up despite their players playing more games, having operations later and getting less of a pre-season.

I’m going to be very unpopular here and say i’m not convinced. He is good at ground level but in the air I don’t see it. Even in that final the marks he took fell to him and he didn’t take them cleanly. i’m hoping it’s a strength thing and he proves me wrong with a greater upper body.

I’m happy the hype has shifted towards team performance and away from our next draft pick,

I’m concerned Petracca is going to come back out of shape from this mini break.

From what I understand the umpires had a trial with the new rules last weekend and it left more questions than answers.

Not a chance.

I think this might be like the time Deryn Hinch was caught drinking non-alcoholic wine.

We should build the facilities and make Collingwood pay for it.

I’ve always thought our early call to get of gaming and state government support on this facility are linked.

The footy department rate Omac over Frost and Omac clearly wins in the footy IQ stakes. I do wonder though if Frosts furious pace suits our manic game style more. In combination with May we could have two massive bodied backs who are lightning quick and highly aggressive.

1964?

He should just cut it off and then spend his days loading up on drugs to take his mind off it like Daniel Chick did.

I thought Preuss was a good kick?

Can’t underestimate the impact AVB had in the finals against Geelong and Hawthorn. Was an instrumental part in our blanket attack on the footy and opposition.
