On the question whether "banging on" about the subject has any utility, I would apply the Eddie McGuire test. Would Eddie McGuire have banged on about having first dibs on a 198cm big man in such a situation? Too right he would ... and if he banged on long enough and hard enough, he might possibly get his way because he always insisted on achieving the best outcome for his club. That's why Collingwood is regularly among the successful clubs and why they have such a strong following. They're not soft[censored] like some are.

Ollie Sestan has been banging down the door to AFL selection at Casey but the selectors are making him wait. I’m wondering whether he’s still eligible for selection as a Rising Star nominee?

(the first Narrm clean sweep in the history of the AFL’s Indigenous Round) Good to see that we've wiped off another hoodoo ...

The big difference between this year and last year is that the quality of the non-MFC players is a whole level higher. I trust that their attitude is better than what we've seen the last two weeks at Melbourne.

How good is it to see Collingwood winless and languishing near the bottom of the ladder?

Anyone know why he didn’t train yesterday?

Looks very much like there's been some miscommunication about George's status. The likely scenario is that he's on the Casey list and just as in the past, can train with us but I have strong doubts that we can simply include him on our list as a Category B rookie under current rules.

Good to see they gave the Brayden Maynard look alike the cold shoulder.

Plus we had two Cat B's in 2024 - we now have only one.

Rod Grinter says hi.

Before anyone decides to go to training either Wednesday or Friday, it might be worth checking that it's on.

I believe that the AFL is reviving the Indigenous All-Stars game next season. Will Kozzie be allowed to play even though he's suspended for three games?

The timing of this thread is impeccable (not). We're going into a trade and draft period of enormous importance to the Melbourne Football Club and people are attacking our list manager. Surely, this issue is best raised at the end of November when we can have a look at the results achieved in that time rather than cause more disruption on top of everything we've been put through these past few months? Fair dinkum - we are our own worst enemies.
