Carlton fans booing the umpires when they’ve had one less free for the game, but 4 goals from very questionable frees.

My least favourite supporters by a mile.

Collingwood supporters will boo that comment!

So we can confirm that there is nothing Noble about Collingwood?

Here is a clue.  5 out of 50 is 10%  Yet 5 out of 100 is 0.05%

5 out of 100 is 5%. 0.05% is 5 out of 10,000

Yes, there really is a Bye Street in Wagga Wagga, and, according to Google maps, others in Queensland, SA and the UK.

So, with apologies to Lucifers Hero, what are they saying about us this week?

•     The MRO has done us no favours by not finding anyone to suspend for not actually having caused any physical harm last week
•     We’ve got them at a good time….they’re still scared and scarred from the 186 point thrashing by Geelong
•     I’ll bet none of their supporters will be at the ground this week…they’re all up at the snow
•     We’re meeting them at a bad time …they’ve never lost a game during the bye
•     All camembert and no dinner

Feel free to add your favourite. The more stereotypical, the better.

There's a Bulla snow's chance in demon hell

Clayton Oliver amazes me. I have never seen anyone who contests the ground ball like him. 

He has a will to win that drives him to continually harass to get the ball, even when it looks like the opposition is going to win.

Once he gets it - for a literal microsecond- it is handballed to a teammate before the opposition can react.

I have seen some very good players who scrap, but none to the level of Clayton.

Except Spargo has been a pretty good forward score assist over the last two years and is our best kick inside 50... 

Some people are never pleased

Absolutely.  I don't understand the gripe against Spargo. He is quick in the first 5 metres, has great vision and decision-making. Plays his role defensively harassing and tackling. 

He was struggling for form in 2019 and 2020, but since then has been very good!

admin i'd like to mute the phrases "petty as a forward" and "petty forward" from all future posts in my feeds please, thanks

How about Petit-four ward?

Confidence and accuracy in the front half was missing in 22. This is an old school approach to gaining improvement but it has been an issue for a while.

Perhaps move Salem or Bowey forward might help address this aspect. Is van Rooyen an accurate kick?

TMac, BB and Fitsch are good set shots though can be wayward in running play.

It would be nice if Petracca, Oliver and ANB can improve their goal kicking. Their mentality must influence their accuracy in front of goals as their field kicking is much better. 

Spargo's kicking must be in the elite category even though he is not a long kick.

Pickett's kicking is mainly good too. Just want Spargo and Pickett to get it more times in a game...

Salem is a certainty

Wasn't the story a player saw Theox licence plate on Ds car and asked who Theo was?

Can't recall which player it was.

It's probably something I would have done.

It was neil balme who had his car park taken by Ox's car

There is something Rutten in the state of Don - mark my words

Front-on smiles aren’t the only heartwarming smiles. Side smiles can be, too…

And as an exponent of the wrinkled nose smile I give you…

And it seems that Gawn had work on his two front teeth.  Before they were slightly inward and a bit (pun) damaged on the cutting edges.

40,000 was my expectation 

Maybe Majak...

Always gets me how the seppos call their domestic competitions ‘World Series’, their comps don’t even take in a whole continent.

It was named after the sponsor "The World", which was a newspaper at the time.

Ox or Neita at their best would have added heaps to our current side. After a flip of a coin i choose The Ox but it could have been either.

I am surprised that David Neitz wasn't selected earlier. Just imagine having a player like that to go forward or back and improve both ends.

Plus 300 games and captain.

Riewoldt got called Roo, so either way it's pronounced the crowd might go for Roo anyway.

Just checked the Dutch pronunciation.  More like 'fun royen'. Though I suspect that he is more referred as 'roo' now
