Lions need to keep close to DeGoey and Nick Daicos, give them as much as 3m and might as well not go near them

Was as close to the middle as it was to the goal post

LOL. Scum have started the Collingwood chant after one goal. 

Let's hear it in the 4th when they are 8 goals behind

My guess is that Woewodin will be the sub and Hore Lever and Tmac will start down back. Petty will only swing back if it’s all going to hell without May. 

I think that's the likely scenario 

Woey gives us fresh legs, Petty is backline insurance.

Aren't we fortunate to have such depth down back?

54 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

two first round picks

one for every premiership that he'll have played in by the end of 2024

Think we'll only get 1 x first, or a player trade

Isn't Petts OOC at the end of the year?

It looks like Jeffo ahead of Petty and if so, he looks taller than Petty. In another few photos of them, I thought the same thing.

Petty is listed as 197 cms. So if Jeffo is taller, he has grown since being drafted and will be a big unit.

I think he will become another key forward with us, hopefully playing alongside JVR and Fritta for several years.

 

 

That's Brown (#50), not Jeffo (#21)

Yeah, just went back to the start of this thread myself for a bit of a read.

Two things.

1. Still love ANB

2. I miss Lord Nev 

Head over to BF, where he cops far worse than he ever did here

Stay indoors 

Indeed.

If we win, the life guards will be off duty at the Port Adelaide gene pool

Stay safe

This is an ok signing. As mentioned above it wouldn’t have cost us much and Laurie has a chance to repay the faith. 

Also, given the state of our list due to forced retirements and other, it is better to keep a player with upside and who knows our systems rather than delisting him as well and adding a further player requiring additional work just to understand our play.

That's it in a nutshell.

Not that Laurie would be delisted, but he's definitely worth more to us over the next two years than what we'd get in a trade or from a late draft pick replacement

Not to be a draft revisionist, but there few after his selection that have done significantly more. Gulden, obviously, but he was Sydney Academy, always going to them. McCreery at Collingwood as well.

Clarry's hands are so fast, I'd be surprised if a scan showed up as any more than a blur

Surely it would have been smarter to wait until later in the season to make this deal. 

Don't think he'd be on big coin, maybe better for his confidence that the club has put trust in him now rather than wait until later

Our recruiters haven’t put a foot wrong in a loooong time. I trust their judgement over DL pundits. 

No one here is claiming to be better at picking players than JT or TL. But bloody oath we can have an opinion, otherwise this place would be unreadable vanilla.

I think Laurie will improve gradually. We are used to seeing players like Oliver, Bowey and Kossie look good from game 1 (or nearabouts). Not with Bill. There's certainly something about him to work with, two years should be enough to find out. 

Thought this was quite an interesting read from (believe it or not) Damien Barrett:

'Filthy' fills a hole down back

Need to put them away in the last.  6 goals min

May and Lever off.

Hore as a sub was a master stroke!

Hawthorn half time atmosphere is worse than ours. Crappy entertainment, f'ing loud music, surrounded by hawks supporters (admittedly because I snuck into Haw reserved sest area). Good lord they are a bunch of spent supporters.

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

What a truly wonderful result 👏

We have a huge Marty Hore fan in the DA. She has a jumper with his number on the back and above the number is the word ‘Dirty’ making it Dirty Hore, with a silent W. 😅 idk if Dirty is his nickname, but it’s funny.
