It's our patented Spam attack. You just keep belting the ball into the 50 and eventually the laws of probability will catch up and one of them will result in a goal. Repeat endlessly and hope your defence stands up to the opposition's more refined attacks.

That dinner with his parents is interesting because his Mum reads what people say online and he gets to hear all about what Demonland4276 said about him.

Jones sets an example by playing the way the coaches want the team to play. Some of the things that really annoy me about his play are team rules that he is making a point of following, like his habit of snatching the loose ball and playing on when a teammate gets a free kick.

Awesome! What a great reward for his work this year. He totally deserves it.

I said a few years ago that I really wanted Nathan Jones to stop winning B&Fs, not because I didn't like him, but because if he kept doing it, it would be an indication that the club had not advanced. I'm absolutely thrilled that he's no longer the run-away winner every year and we're seeing the young guys stepping up to lead the club.

I gave up on it. Not worth the bother when I can get updates on here.

"I'm trying not to show how drunk I am right now..." You mean when our mids kick blind high bombs on his head and force him to compete with three opponents from a standing start rather than opening their eyes and trying to find a free target or give him something to lead to?

The new look midfield. Seeing Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes and Viney step up to become the first choice mids ahead of Jones, Vince and Lewis gave us a real glimpse of the future. Viney is the oldest of the group. They'll be dominating for the best part of the next decade.

Could not agree more. We start with asking for two top five picks. He's worth every bit of it and we hold all the cards. MAYBE let them get away with five and nine if they sweeten the deal.

Don't want him. Go for Martin instead.

I'll be sad to see him go. He has pace and a great penetrating kick. Sadly his injury issues aren't going to get any better at the Saints. Still, he's doing the right thing for his family, taking a better pay packet and a longer contract. Good luck to him.

I think this is very simple for us. Hogan is contracted. If Freo want him, they have to pay. He cost us more than a first round pick when we traded for his rights. He's one of the best young KPFs going around. If they want to trade for him, they can give us their first pick and the first round pick they get for Neale. That would be picks four and five to us for Hogan. Maybe an exchange of later picks in their favour, but I don't see the need to be honest. They've been trying to pry him loose from us for years. If they want to do it this year they need to pay.

27-19 their way.

How do you know you're a Collingwood supporter? When you let your 12 year old daughter smoke at the kitchen table, right in front of her kids.

I could not agree more. I think most of us said at the start of the season that we wanted finals. We got that. We got a hell of a lot better than that. We got to see our team knock over two of our bogey sides for two winning finals. We came back from the wilderness and won two finals. Going further would have been nice, but I am thrilled with what the team achieved this season.

I have to say, this has not been a good weekend for Aussie Rules, and in particular the officials. Last weekend in the SANFL we saw a team play 19 men and get away with it because the complaint came from the bench and not the captain and by the time the captain was made aware of it the extra man had been pulled off the field again. Today we saw some Casey run out to an early lead only for Box Hill's best three players to put in a superhuman effort of one-sided umpiring to drag their team over the line. All in all a terrible look for the state leagues.

The one worry I have with Jesse is the feeling that he's going to be the super talented guy who breaks down every year and never lives up to his potential because of the never-ending rehab. I would love to know what our medical staff think about him. It's just possible that two top ten picks could turn into a bargain for him.

The game plan is Spam. Literally. As in we pepper them with endless poor quality f50 entries and eventually sheer weight of numbers mean we'll score a few. Imagine what would happen if we had that many entries AND an actual plan to convert entries to goals. We'd be unstoppable!

What does it cost to charter a plane?

No Change. You don't mess with a winning formula.

vandenBerg - Beast. Can't kick.

We have eighteen players on our list who have never lost a final.

Vandenberg. The man is an absolute beast. I just wish he could kick a little better.

Channel seven showing the highlights to the tune of Hells Bells. Love it. I notice there's more idiotic noise about Oliver going down easily to get a free, but nobody seems to be talking about Sicily hurling himself out of marking contests the moment he feels contact. I wonder why that is?

So at the start of the season I think we all agreed that finals was the minimum acceptable result. Pretty sure we're all happy with what we've achieved now. Let's just hope we manage two more.
