    I got home from work to see the last 10 minutes. Reading online all the pies fans are complaining about the umpiring.

    But watching fox footy I'm seeing the lack of effort, pressure and defence that they're highlighting.  I'm also seeing the play where a pies player handballs it & it hit Moore in the head.

    Funny that...

    For years, especially during last year's finals, Collingwood have been kotd by the AFL and umpires.

    They've had their flag, time to get royally screwed like the rest of us. Welcome back to the pack, Fly!

    I would like to see us destroy Hawthorn today. They are a very average football team. 
     

    I want blood 

    Me too.

    Have known so many cocky Hawthorn supporters over my lifetime who just loved sticking the knives in when we were at our lowest.

    Every sweet win over Hawthorn makes those times disappear just a little more

    I'm going today. Gonna try and sneak into the Hawthorn reserved seat area on lev 2 Northern stand. I want to bait a few suffering wee and poos

  3. Whoever takes Sicily, I hope they run him up the ground and put body pressure on him. Keep him away from two of BBB, JVR or Fritter, who remain deeper. Sicily likes to peel off and intercept, make him accountable physically, he hates it. And kick to where he ain't 

    Then Frosty will panic and turn it over

    I’ve just read they’ll get similar picks to that of GCS & GWS but have to trade them for established players. Why would you? In all seriousness they might nab 1 maybe 2 established guns of the game on excessively massive contracts plus the reported sign on bonus, but look at what North has put together in just 2 drafts, Sheezel, Wardlaw, McKercher & Dursma. Would you rather those 4 kids in 4-5 years or what you traded for from other clubs. 

    How do you know that one or more of those four players aren't in the Devil's sights for those early pick trades?

    Impressed with BBB’s mobility. Shades of 2021. At one stage in the third quarter he was deep in the back pocket hustling the ball over the boundary line. No one seemed to notice. 

    He was in the back pocket as part of his turning circle after a lead from FF

    🤣

    What pleased me most about the win was the way we played / tried to play. Although not perfect at times ie wrong option, poor disposal, too slow moving the ball, we played a game style that can take us deep into September.

    Not a fan of JVR in the ruck, rucking inside fwd 50 is one thing but not lining up at centre bounces.

    Vintage BBB & TMac, Chandler firing again, Oliver getting ready to explode.

    Thought we had our smalls in better positions today at times but little things like Kosi flying for a mark then no one at ground level when the ball spills. 
     

    Not getting carried away, good win but a few things to work on.

    Agree, not happy with JVR rucking in the centre or around the ground. Will be interesting to see what the FD do when Fullerton is ready for this level

    Sure he would have had a bag if he kicks straight… but how often does he? 
    I mean I would have had a bag too if I was 25 years younger, A foot taller and any good at kicking goals.

    He kicked a bag against us, was it last year or '22, including the sealer

    He'd be a good addition to our list if we could land him.

    JVR and JUH together... mmmmm...

  8. How much did the addition of BBB straighten up our forward line?!!! Meant JVR wasn't the defender's focus. Created contests for our smalls in the forward line, Chin, Kossie and Nibbler. And that sidestep, my lordie... stick him in the midfield!!!

    Give me a spell.

    I didn't name names.

    And I wasnt rude and I didn't take any pot shots.

    Unless you call the truth a pot shot.

    And frankly I'm heartily sick of posters spewing vitriol against my club after a loss.

    And then going silent after an impressive win.

    If you are gonna call out the club - repeatedly- after a loss then show some spine and put your hand up you might have got it wrong.

    It's the opposite of fair weather supporters.

    Again, enjoy the win rather than focusing on negatives.

    Life is too short and fortunes can change quickly when it's still only round 1 (or 2 for us)

    What did you think of Billings' game? I thought his positioning and kicking were excellent. Fantastic pressure acts as well. What a great start in red n blue for him

    Keen to hear the thoughts of those posters who practically wrote our season off and blasted the coach and players after our loss last week.

    Some remarkably definitive comments were made, given we were beaten on the home deck of a pretty good team that the bookies had as slight fav.

    You know who you are.

    Petty response.

    Enjoy the win rather than jumping to pot shot

    A glaring issue in our list has been, for many years, quality ball users in our midfeild. That then amplifies our issue of having no elite power forward. 

    Love Clarry, he is a generational player. But if letting him go would fix the issues above then of course we should entertain it. 

    Unless we get a replacement who is as good a ball user as Clarry is an extractor, then that theory is kaput.

    I'd rather work on improving Clarry's foot skills than trading him. It worked for Chunk, his kicking early on was woeful 

    Salem, Billings, Rivers and Windsor running through the middle and delivering i50 should help too

    Forward strategies are more the issue. Ban the long bomb, always look at a kick to advantage, get injured/suspended players on the park. More to it than that obviously, but would certainly help
