Collingwood is the only Melbourne club I hate. I can handle the other clubs, but Collingwood to me is bottom of the barrel. A club built on the lower class. I hate West Coast more than any other club by a country mile.

Not sure what to do with myself right now.

I think it's great. Very South Fremantle. Really trying to establish Fremantle as their town, if they haven't already. Great move by the club over there. People need to understand that they don't have the history or culture that would dictate a logo and jumper like ours. Western Australian tastes, WA market. And it will always have a bit of flair and spunk. I think it looks great. Great incorporation of their colours, and they finally dumped the vomit-from-the-exorcist green.

He has turned the AFL into the big, prime-time sport that it is.

The Dion Prestia Thread? Really? lol Would love to see him in the red and blue! Although I think maybe Collingwood or GC.

I think he'll come to his senses and retire. He's not going to play for Carlton. And there's absolutely no way in hell he would ever play a game in that midfield.

Cam Bruce is definitely on his way out it seems.

Director of coaching I'd assume would be a mentor for all coaches; they are there for guidance, moral support etc. Could be of benefit, but probably more so for some in learning. Not for a Dean Bailey, who I think has gone through his paces as assistant and then head coach for a long time now.

I actually expected it to be some sort of Thai porn scam.

I very strongly believe we should keep Warnock. He can be another iron fist down in the backline. Can come into the side when we're taking on a St. Kilda with a very big forward line. I really hate the idea of throwing him around for trade. I'd rather keep him than get a tall forward with him to be honest. Defense is always more important.

Nice work by Davey. Terrible journalism though. Round 2 draw? Collingwood won the round 2 match. How hard is it to look up a fixture?

Sounds nice. As long as the core design is kept intact, I'm happy with anything that reminds us of history and success, as long as they're not overly intrusive. I liked having the Demon logo above the Primus logo in 2004, but I don't think the marketing team then, or now, liked that 90s Demon logo - it wasn't a very appealing logo and I can't imagine it being very appealing to prospective investors/advertisers. I'd much rather have the new logo anywhere on the jumper. Stars sound like a great idea. I'm sure some pro teams around the world do a similar thing. They also do it for the World Cup kits, and it blends in perfectly. I have a feeling that the core jumper, fused together with the new logo and stars will look great. I can picture it definitely.

Both Cloke's wouldn't get a game at another club. Cloke at Collingwood is no better than Brad Miller. He just has a superb coach and a fantastic midfield delivering to him.

I really hope we end up with one of Hale or Cox. If we can get one of those and lose Bruce, I'd be happy.

I think it's obvious Green will be the leader, don't you? Was superb this season, and lead the league on and off the field. Should be a unanimous decision. And Bruce is probably on his way out. And I think the club is smart and conservative enough not to make Davey captain. He can be a little hot under the collar on the field when things aren't going his way. I know I wouldn't make him captain. But I don't really know how he is like behind the scenes. He might be able to redeem himself that way, but we'll never really know.

Not sure what you expect. I think it's fantastic. Let's ditch the terrible "Melbournefc" and bring the Demon back. We need to create a brand, and the MCG and Demon are integral to that. I really love this initiative. Carn the Demons!

No, they weren't particularly memorable experiences, and really no different to anything else I see every other weekend. I just find it concerning that every single one of those moments involved a Collingwood supporter.

Great VFL player. Average AFL player.

I'm not so sure. Cox makes us a top 5 team imo. Jamar and Cox is a wonderful duo that could last well into the decade. Morton is a great player, but can he be as influential as Cox could be? I'm not so sure.

Compared to them? Sure.

I was at Calvin's in Collingwood, and actually thought it was a godsend they didn't win. Boy was I wrong. Had they won, they might have been bearable. But when they don't win? Wow. Driving down Smith St., we had to slow down TWICE for two separate drunken Collingwood supporters who were BLIND drunk. One of them then abused a taxi driver who already had people in the car. Once we arrive into Calvin's, there is a drunk Pies fan at the bar, who eyes me as soon as I walk in the door. I had a checkered shirt on - black, white and red - and when I walked past him he started tugging at my shirt saying "F****** SAINTS SUPPORTER". This is not a joke. He actually started abusing me, and we were all just standing around laughing at the guy. But to top it off, and this is a gem. At around 8pm, a guy wearing an English soccer jersey, tight, light blue straight-legged jeans, dirty old runners and an old-school Magpies beany walked into the dancing area, tripped over, and then got into a tiff with security, who promptly escorted him out. This all came to a conclusion at Smith St. McDonald's about 2am. We were tantalizing our taste buds with some fine dining (cheeseburgers and McNuggets) when a drunken Collingwood supporter wearing a CHEER SQUAD T-SHIRT!!!! strolled into the eating area, talking to himself VERY LOUDLY, before casually strolling into the ladies toilets almost immediately after another girl had gone in. Fearing for this girls safety, my mate ran in after him, and found him having a leak in one of the cubicles. They are a thug club built around the lower class, bottom of the barrel leaches that plague this amazing city. That "COLLINGWOOOOOOOOOD" chant is thuggish to the bone, and belongs in soccer. I know St. Kilda don't have the most pleasant fans, but I would do ANYTHING to see them absolute annihilate the Pies next week and drain that arrogant, thuggish chant out of the MCG and back to that scum heap they call Victoria Park where it belongs.

lol OP got owned.

Win, lose or draw, the Bay is going to have an absolute field day with this.

Serves you right for watch the "footy" show.

I feel very strongly that Cox is coming to Melbourne. From what I've heard, that is the word among Eagles supporters in Perth. And I see a few Eagles fans on BF (I know, I know) quipping at such an occurrence. But we need another tall that is CAPABLE of playing forward, and Cox is that man. Jamar doing what he does in the ruck, and Cox, even Sandilands, roaming up along the wing and around the forward line? Would be unbelievably good for us. And I really think the team is going to try and get a trade aggressively for a big, established player.
