I think we still have Matty Whelan at the club in a role helping younger players

Alastair CLarkson has never been coach of the year.. Just saying Congrats Goody. Has grown in the role and looks very comfortable.

Some could see the potential!

I keep saying that Keath has done his hammy TWICE since round 19. He won't be able to push very hard on that leg. As for Stef, he will basically be a decoy with English playing fwd to try and stretch our defence.

Off you go with that nonsense please

Wines should poll well in hte last 7 games...

This is some spammy foreign page...... Nothing on foxtel nor the CH 7 website... grrr

Terrific interview. Quality person

Half your luck. Done the GRR 3 times. Outstanding party of the world.

And Keath has done 2 hammy' since rd 19

Pretty sure Pert was CEO at Collingwood when they lost $1.5m having gone large on 'Side-by-side' merchandise anticipating a GF win. Hopefully he has learnt some lessons.

He was brought in specifically to play on McGovern and did a very good job. Not sure if that role is enough to keep him tho...

Feel for Hunt having played 21 games this year.... As for Bowey, great article. Can't believe he is 8cm TALLER than his dad!!

Not sure you can '"surpassed" him. Pretty sure I read that Tommo had only been beaten once in a one on one contest since being moved back Nonetheless Tommo's fitness and endurance means that he can be played in a number of positions. Petty has already demonstrated he can do that as well. And people shoudn't forget we have been blessed with few injuries so have spare capacity as it were is a good thing. We are lucky to be in such as spot which is why if Weideman goes its not the end of the world.

No love for Gawn?

Holy cow thats a narrow view.

Can we turn him ino a defender?

In 11 seasons of football Rioli kicked over 40 goals two times. Kozzie is special

Why is everybody assuming Jones is retiring? Highly likely he won't get a contract at Melbourne but its possible he may play on...

So therefore Bill Shorten as well?

I say Ol' Boy would you have any Grey Poupon?

It's the same modset that saw Sam Mitchel go through the 2000 draft I think and langish at Box Hill before being taken with a late-ish in 2001. Pidgeon-holed as too short Moneyball springs to mind...

Quotes that age well.....

With 9 of our regulars 22 and under AND some talent that hasn't yet debuted we have created a springboard for a sustainable tilt at success. Recruiting like Geelong rarely works altho it has them up there for a long period. I reckon they would trade all those finals appearances for one more flag. You could argue hawthorn tried it and succeeded to a certain extent but its an awfully big fall if you get it wrong. Brisbane tried in 2004 as well going for a 4 peat - arguably worth trying with a reduced ageing list. West Coast look like they are at the cross roads and could easily drop away sharply. Collingwood has no cap space and no draft picks so could be in trouble as well. Its a fine balancing act and ever since they brought in trading future picks its been a bit of a lottery as to how that has worked out. We shouldnt be cocky but I think we are in safe hands..
