    Great to see players win a flag that walked out on the Bombers

    Must burn their fans. 

    Daniher is a fantastic player. He draws 2-3 defenders

    It's a lesson for everyone.

    Two life lessons from Joe Daniher.

    1. It is always a good idea to walk out on the Bombers.

    2. It is amazing how quickly you can turn things around when you decide to pull your finger out!

    I've been watching the second half and getting that unnerving sense that this Brisbane side is player-by-player that little bit bigger and stronger than their opponents all over the ground.

    Hopefully that's just a reflection of Sydney's wilting performance because with even more goid F-S prospects coming and ongoing academy benefits, their list has plenty of renewal coming.

    Heeney also putting in another Herculean performance on GF day. Bloke must suffer from some serious stage-fright

    I've been working so only looking at stats now. How is it even possible to have fewer supercoach points than disposals?

    Please take no offense to this, but this is one of the ****test takes on Demonland. 

    Collingwood and Maynard competed so hard post flag they didn’t even make the 8. 
     

    Collingwood only make finals in seasons where Maynard hospitalises an opponent with a head injury.

    This statement stands true since pre-covid times.

    Yep for one season then the next two our midfield and clearance work dropped off a cliff. Evidently he couldn't develop and adapt 

    'Dropped of a cliff' is a pretty remarkable way to describe consecutive 16 win seasons with 125+ percentage.

    Our midfield only began to struggle in mid 2023 when we lost Oliver. Even then it was still highly capable.

    This stuff gets so tiresome.

    I think of doing very bad things to them.

     

    Its hard because mentally there is no brain there amongst them, so it only leaves physical options.

    Fair issue raised. Denigrating the honour of Collingwood fans is like trying to barge down an open door.

    If you called them a worthless sack of [censored] they'd be proud of the sack.

    Vulnerability Post... I have very dark thoughts when I read Collingwood supporters still commenting that "Brayshaw stepped into Maynard" (it was Brayshaws fault), that Brayshaw was already concussed from a previous knock (not Maynards hit), that Melbourne doctors should have already taken him off (Melb doctors fault), that "he shouldn't have been allowed to play anyway".

    Please help me.

    I want to do bad things

    PS Angus to be our runner - you've heard it here first

    I'm here to help. What bad things can I assist with?

    Your metrics may be a bit different to those of the AFMA's, which didn't mention anything about journalism, or quality of, in bestowing the accolade: “No one has had a bigger presence in football this year, via television, radio and newspapers, than Kane Cornes. No one. Now or in the past.”

    Tom Morris also got a gong, along with "AFL 360, hosted by Gerard Whateley and Mark Robinson, highlighted by powerful interviews with Melbourne superstar Christian Petracca." The AFMA doesn't seem to have a website, so it's a bit hard to work out who is giving awards to who and then reporting on those awards.  

    I was getting ready to make a joke about quantity over quality but it isn't as funny when it is shown to be true.

    If you agree that Geelong as a club has advantages due to Geelong the city being regional and thus can attract athletes that want the geographical advantages that come with living there, then you can’t unthether that from any coaching record for whomever is coaching Geelong.

    its been 20 years since it was called ‘sleepy hollow’ pervasively in the media.

    Athletes want to live there and on the Bellarine and Surf Coasts

    I lived there then and now live on the Bellarine - generationally (compared to 1,2 and 3 decades ago) people want different things and live in quieter places  due to the scrutiny placed in them daily/weekly.

    All in all, GFC has significant advantages compared to Melbourne based clubs when  players start having families and want a different lifestyle that Melbourne clubs can’t offer.

    its their unique selling point and its why the list profile is the way it is. 

    Yep, if you can earn 300k+ and live in some of Australia's lushest countryside near beaches and superb national parks while also still being conveniently close to both a local good-sized city, numerous picturesque towns, and to Melbourne, you'll take it.

    A 30 touch a game Spargo probably is the best player in the history of the game!

    Fair call, given a 20 touch Spargo is Brent Harvey.

    I think it is underestimated how much difference Spargo in form made to our performance. Touch wood for a rejuvenated Spargonaut in 2025.

    All this talk of how easy it was for Goodwin to take the dozen good players he inherited from Roos to a premiership just goes to show how hard it must have been for Scott in 2011, who had to overcome the deficiencies of both Allen Christensen AND Trent West not already being premiership players.

    After the inherited premiership, Chris Scott from 2012-2019 managed 4 wins from 15 finals.

    I can only assume everyone vigorously pleasuring themselves about Scott's greatness is ready to give Goodwin the same run on the understanding that he'll snag us another flag in 2032?

    I want it because I feel really good about this draft (as always in septmember), but I also want De Koning.

    Future picks would be needed to make De Koning happen, I suspect. And given that we'll be wanting some 'burnables' to acquire White (touch wood) some smart future pick trading might also give us a head start on getting 2025 trade/draft organised.

    The Single De Koning Play?

    Left out of the prelim.

    Definitely bring him over ASAP so he can play forward and get injured.

    But seriously, with both Turner and Petty being forward at the moment, Tomlinson going, and May and McDonald boldy attacking the twilight, an additional young defender must be a priority. At 204cm Sam De Koning also gives us height that our defence has not had much of even at its peak.

    Does Adelaide have anything Geelong want? Feel like a Nibbler to De Koning conversion could be a healthy outcome.
