Dr. Gonzo

The article appeared because he was seen on Fridays channel 7 coverage next to Goodwin. Fluff article that fills a quota.

Didn't you read the article? AFLX premiers!

It's nothing personal, the comments are more directed to those who said the club would fall apart if we got rid of him, the players loved him, he was our only good kick etc

3 kicks but they were bloody rippers dontcha know

Who says we can't trade out first rounder next year? AFLs policy on this is anything but clear. They approved the Cats trading out there's when no-one thought they'd be able to.

He copped a neck injury I thought

I reckon this should be done after every win we have at the G. Even if just a couple outside Gate 2 to capture some MCC members who perhaps haven't taken up the joint membership offer.

We need to rig the fixture to maximise attendances/revenue so we have money to prop up poor clubs. But the poor clubs don't work hard enough so why should we give them any money? AFLs version of trickle down economics

Gate receipts were pooled and shared up until the 50s I think (may have even been as late as the 70s?)

We asked for this this year too and it didn't happen.

He should be called Bluey because of his red hair and the amount of Blueys he'll rack up through his career.

Cook round 2 2000 vs North twilight game.

Jordan Lewis stiff

I want to see him kick more on occasions, there's times where he is a link in a chain streaming through the middle and rather than take a kick when he has a chance he can stop and go sideways/backwards halting our momentum somewhat. He is a beautiful kick as well.

1 - Elbowed Watts in the back of the head 2- Ducked into a tackle which resulted in him having to go off the ground (was earlier in the same game I think?) 3- Stages for a free kick when nudged by Franklin (last year) 4- Stages for a free kick when jabbed by Greene (last year) 5- Gets done for staging against the Crows in R2 this year 6- launches like Jeff Hardy at the slightest touch against the Bombers The thing I hate is the commentary earlier in the week that "he'll learn from it" and making out like it's one blemish on an otherwise fine record. It's the 4th time he's blatantly staged in the last 12 months not to mention every other time he ducks his head/throws himself back/dives forward. Hes a serial offenders and he should've coped a week for that disgrace of an effort last Saturday. I hate Prance (as my sister calls him) and that's coming from someone with a soft spot for the tigers.

Franklin hasn't even played half the season and Hogan is in much better form. Gawn is 3rd in AFLCA voting 10 votes ahead of Grundy. Rance at FB? He hasn't been that good especially early in the season. Typical robbo no idea.

So we can unfurl the flag in front of them?

I have no concerns whatsoever that Nev will re-sign

We should host Anzac Eve one year, queen's bday the next. We should also get to host Essendon and Carlton every second year at minimum too instead of once a decade. Fix these and i have no issue, it may actually help build the day as Collingwood supporters will be more invested in making it a big game rather than seeing it as charity. We know the advantages Collingwood get out of it (reserved seating in Ponsford for example) but that shouldn't preclude us sharing the game.

were you on mobile? Android? Same thing was happening to me for ages and I reported it here Basically I ended up just installing Firefox and stopped using Chrome and it seems to have fixed it.

It's not gonna be easy but it's no use freaking out and going all emo until we actually see how the team can respond. Like others have mentioned if we can't win because of one player then we're in trouble. We still have a stellar midfield, Hogan/TMac and Hibberd and Jetta intercepting play down back. It will be interesting to see who they go with though, the Pies have a deceptively tall forward line. I thought De Goey was a small forward but he's listed at 191cm! Stephenson, Cox, WHE none of them are really small.

If he doesn't get an AA Guernsey this year I'd love to see who is ahead of him just a masterful defender.

Just watching the replay (2nd quarter) and my god Hogan is a beast. Has exceeded my lofty expectations. He must be an AA lock, racking up midfielder stats and averaging 3 goals a game. He seems to be playing with a freedom he hasn't had before, always seemed like he had a load on his shoulders. Now he's the player we knew he would become and he's proving to be one of the stars of the comp. His next 5 years will be fun to watch. Jetta was superb today, love Lord Nev as the MFC podcast crowned him. My 5yo gave him a high five after the game too which made his day.

Plenty of examples of teams losing key players and going on to win the flag. Our coach played in a premiership after the star forward Modra went down.

I saw him do a decent spoil today. So he earnt his 50k today.
