Good luck getting to Casey in half an hour mid week...

Think Seaford and you will know that Casey would be a retrograde step... You could kiss goodby any thoughts of being a destination club.

Honestly 'old dee', I don't think we are... Certainly that's the media & Demonland narrative but I think we have moved past that. No inside info but I just can't see intelligent people like Bartlett & Pert not working on another plan. Bartlett has alluded to multiple plans in the past. Yarra park might be a strategic play, smoke and mirrors to leverage something else. I think we might be involved here. Again, no inside information. I don't see Collingwood heading back to Vic park though. No money has been allocated or promised there. The money that's been discussed is for the sporting precinct of which we are a part.

Not saying he has 'Daisy'... When I say Pert, I mean the club. He is the face of the club on issues like this. I hope he, Bartlett and the board are working furiously behind the scenes to get some commitments for our future.

I don't know...it's easy to get this funding. Just say you're setting up some kind of gender equality facility and bingo... On a more serious note...we were the leaders in womens football, had the foresight to get the whole thing going and now we seem to be languishing at the bottom of the pack when the money comes. I just hope Pert has something he's holding back on at the moment.

Should have been part of the Hogan deal...

A couple of interesting things here. 1. Viney shouldn't be in the guts at the expense of Gus...he's not in the best combination. 2. I think 6-6-6 has seen more opposition teams going the chaos kick off the ground at centre bounces. Previously we had numbers coming off the back of the square and you couldn't risk it. It's had an effect on our guys who prefer to get hands on the ball, maybe they will be better off trying similar tactics.

No, as Clarkson says the Hawks are not so great...our 2 wins are against average opposition. ...and we've looked pretty average to date.

Jack has a poor record of judging when fit to play. By his own admission he returned early from his foot injury in 2017 and has had long periods on the sidelines and/or managed game time since. His game time was managed in games early in the season. Ditto vs Hawks - he played about 2 of the first 3 qtrs (prior to the shoulder injury). This suggests something other than the shoulder injury is causing the managed game times. Have someone else make the decision! When I heard this (he will make a call, he know's his body well) I almost drove off the road... Jack is the last person to ask. I think the decision needs to be taken out of his hands, he's proven in the past that he is the last person to be given the responsibility. We employ medicos for a reason. Once the player says they are right to play the final decision should always be with them in consultation with the coach.

Look, Tom has a job to do... I'm not a fan of how the media go about things a lot of the time either but he was presented with a story and it has currency because of our form line and May's less than successful start at the club...part of a joining the dots exercise. I probably wouldn't have written the story but I suspect I wouldn't have a job in the media for very long. ...but the dog act was done by the person who took the photo and sent it on to the media. It wasn't their business and May wasn't hurting them in anyway. That's a pretty lousy thing to do I reckon but unfortunately there are a lot of lousy people in this world who can't mind there own business. They mustn't have much going on in their lives or their heads for that matter...

So it's a dog act to do your job???

It's only a story because of our poor start to the year. If we were sitting comfortably in the 8 it would have barely had a mention. The microscope is on the club with the media and supporters looking for reasons/excuses for the slide...

The system is broken, no doubt. I thought they should have booked Shiel for acting...

From what I see a lot of older people (around my age) have a problem hiding issues with the booze. Self medication is not age specific. You're right, it never works.

Absolutely, if we had all yes men we would be in a world of trouble. So long as at they present a united front to the players...

Great to scratch out a win on the weekend...beats losing. On that performance I agree with Clarkson that both teams are not much chop at the moment and probably going nowhere. ...but we did show a few good signs albeit against average opposition like the Swans game. One of the big individual questions for me is...what is it with Tommy Mc? He had that good period as a defender and looked like being one of the better KPD in the game then dropped right off to where he was close to heading back to Casey. Now he's doing the same as a forward...even the couple of grabs he took out on his own on Saturday didn't look sure into his hands and his previous ability at kicking the set shot goal is gone. Any ideas? it can't be injury surely. Even if his foot/feet give him trouble it doesn't explain his hands. Maybe better bring in Dr Phil.

At Casey...

I think it's only 2 of them 'what'...Weid and either Tommy or Preuss.

So has Ron Barassi but I haven't seen Goody running to re-sign him....and give him a game. The end comes when it comes, last years Prelim was the final siren and should have put an end to a great career.

Thank F.....for that!

We need him 'Mach' but I don't think we would get a top 10 pick for him...his currency will rise though if he keeps up his present form. At the moment he's our best kept secret, probably due to the rest of the team performing so poorly. Would have to be leading the B&F by a fair margin.

Agree 'dazzle'. The only negative thing I can say about Collingwood is it's May...

That's all we would get for him...

Like ice baths and altitude training, yet another useless fad that AFL clubs have to follow.

The going price would be a 2nd round pick... ..which is what they gave up to get a premiership wingman (Brad Hill). 1st round picks are only for A grade game changers and KPP's...
