  1. WADDA WE SING ! Gotta love sticking it to the the Bombers . Takes abit more wind out've Hirds sails .
  2. Abit of luck and he coulda had 3 or 4 goals . Great stuff from Gawny , he's a keeper . B)
  3. This year Martin has come along beautifully . His's confidence and surer ball skills were on show from the pre-season . So he might have to sort a few things , they all do . As he develops further he'll be a major asset IMO . With big Max around the ruck division will be bullet proof .
  4. If they had've won the St.Kilda fans woulda forgotten about Breen and immortalised him .
  5. He did have a store at Waverly Gardens that he'd man personally . Also remember Leigh Matthews owning a (shoe?)shop at Brandon Park .
  6. Don't have any genius but unlike you I do know what went down with Scullys knee and it was a post op balls up .
  7. It's not just injuries , it's also injury management . Our players take forever to get over them . Our medical dept needs attention .
  8. If it's not too much I'd like a sprinkle of moondust in his hair aswell .
  9. Thats right , just gotta cop the whack and get on with it . There was no way that the AFL woulda overturned the decision . Would've given the green light to something they've been trying to stamp out .
  10. This was my line line of thinking but I'd rather we pelted Dimwit himself with marshmallows . He's single handedly destroying the game since he started bleating about mothers of juniors when he took over . Football is/was a modern day gladiator sport FFS and the use of aggression was 1 of the main drawcards both for those who played and those who watched . As for the other stuff like pelting the ground etc , unless we get it out into the media the excercise will be a fizzer .
  11. Jurrah 1st goal when he wheeled around get onto his right foot only to be confronted with Crows , no worries spin around onto his left and bang it over the shoulder .... I just had to chuckle to myself , unreal . Watts getting more confident . He's gonna be special . Tappy being Tappy .
  12. Got big games all the way to the bye at rd16 . The Tigers would especially love a crack at us right now but will have to wait .
  13. The demons have brought in Bate who is strong overhead .
  14. Spot on with 1 & 2 , swap 3 for Edihad .
  15. Shouldn't have lost it . Shouldn't have trotted him out infront of the media . But whats done is done and wait till next year to hand it back ... if he wants it .
  16. He may have built it but it's obvious he has no idea how to motivate it .
  17. Fair point IMO , though we don't need to sack him , just not renew his contract at the end of year . Having said that , lets see what happens from now till then . The blokes on the field today we're just itching for the contest . Now there might be some real and not imagined contests within the side for positions and hopefully , that will show in games .
  18. Highlights for me was the 4 qr Game . The pressure put on the Crows . Watts getting just bit better every week , ran his opponent off his legs . Trengoves tackle on Dangerfield (even though hes in my SC side) Tappy being Tappy . Jurrah being Jurrah . Jamar to Moloney. Sylvia playing like he should . Why was Petterd dropped ?
  19. I agree . No-one should be dropped IMO . Even my brother inlaw who prefers rugby to football came over late in the game and of course loves to hang it on me about the Demons . 1st thing he says is the scores must be back to front . 2nd thing he says with 10 minutes left the Crows can still win it to which I replied we can kick another 10 . Was laughing at him everytime another sailed through . You could tell they wanted that 100pt margin . Then he noted Bates effort , "Wow , look at that bloke , almost got a triple throat rip." in reference to some movie he just watched . You could also see the blokes brought back into the side really wanted to show they deserved their place . Can only be a good thing from now on .... Hopefully .
  20. I would . Talking about 1 game a couple years ago does nothing for your argument . Fact is he goes missing all too often . The man is has it all , power , pace , strong mark , great disposal . This club is crying out for him to step up , especially when we need something . Not just when we're going alright .
  21. Gets singled out at training for hard tackling work , then gets dropped . Woulda thought they'd give him another week to show if he'd learnt anything.\ Talk about double whammy . Maybe they weren't happy with his efforts during the drill .
  22. Let's face it . Collingwood fans get value for money , they've been up around it for years and I'm sure many of those extra 20,000 you speak have jumped on board during the last 2 . Do you think they're on the phones looking for lost members ? Maybe they are , I don't know . With our clubs record , I'm proud of the amount that do indeed stick fat . We've put up with a hell of alot of mediocrity over the years and this year looks more of the same . Jimmy wanted 40,000 members during the offseason , if they players had've produced some enthusiasm for the contest till now I'm sure he woulda got them but ..... No , momentum lost .
  23. Can't stand the parasite Hutchison either and also think Lyon is a [censored] . That hospital sketch he was involved with Crawford they did a few years ago was about the last straw . Lyons standing nose dived from there with me and for that reason shudder at the thought of him coaching (not that it will happen). Cause I was asked . On the subject of receiving calls from players to renew membership . Geez , at times like these I'd love to receive 1 , ask them "What the F... is going on down there ?" I got 1 from a volunteer under danihers reign , after assuring him that I still intended to join I asked him if he saw the dribble we dished up the previous 2 games . "Your a Melbourne supporter" I told him , "You know how I feel." We ended up lamenting how disappointing we were together over the phone . Brothers in Arms .
  24. Especially the way we look right now .
