Heard similar 'coach' but let me tell you it's not only Collingwood. I wish people would get off the Collingwood culture crusade and have a look at the big picture. There's pretty good representation across all clubs, except ours of course...

Adelaide are really keen to get this kid. How keen? Test them Carlton... If I were Carlton i would forget the priority pick and look to trade their pick one for the Crouch boys. Added to Cripps it would give them a quick bump.

I've been beginning to think you can't get a decent pizza anywhere anymore. Thin base, gourmet, wood fired? All code words for rubbish... Seems everyone is cutting the inputs and increasing the price...

Would rather offer Bernie another year to be honest...

The word is Dom is fit and ready to go and will play... If selected of course.

Watched Storm tonight... Got beaten but rested a few in the lead up to finals. With Billy retiring at the end of the season I hope they can send him out with a much deserved premiership. Drinkwater came into to replace Billy tonight & it was a promising debut. They keep producing players. Sorry, sidetracked. Sport is a serious business, there's no skin in the game then there's no game. The legends game doesn't interest me in the slightest...

Double devils advocate... Most coaches don't play a tag on Mitchell so you would think he mustn't be that dangerous/valuable. ...but the players still think he is.

Yes 'Mad' was thinking of him the other day but he is an SA boy for what that might matter. For some reason he has gone cold and struggling for a regular game. I would also be looking at some of the younger Tiger small forwards (not Lloyd) who are not getting a regular game.

Whilst we're talking unrealistic trades, I think Macrae would suit our needs perfectly.

Not sure about stage fright 'Pennant'... I remember the team in '87 were on a roll & blitzed North in the first final. Lets hope we get more of the same this time round & then for the following 3 games.

As do all clubs 'Bonkers'... It's the elephant in the room and the AFL don't know how to handle it.

Adelaide camp... He clearly has inside info at the Crows.

Probably the vibe 'layzie', it just felt right to me. A great champion honoured, and he is a champion of the game a term that shouldn't be used lightly. I get why others don't like it but I do.

A lot will depend on how the AFL changes effect the game. If it's a lot more open then the 3 in the forward half are going to be a handful for opposition teams when they can't get numbers back.

It brings into question how we played, how the mids used the ball. Not necessarily the forward structure. We are not a in a static environment, it's a young team growing and learning to play together. Imagine how good Hogan would be if we didn't keep bombing the ball in and lowered our eyes earlier in the season....

Interesting how opinions vary but personally I loved Franklin's selection as Captain...

If I had a choice of any player to augment our current list it would probably be one of these 2. Yeo is so adaptable, could play anywhere and do it well, strong in the contest and in the air. Macrae is the wingman we need. What the hell, lets get them both. Make it happen PJ before you hand over your desk...

When playing I used to say to my teammates, "you don't run on your hands"...it was back when we thought we were tough and it would need to be a pretty serious upper body injury to keep you out. Harmes & Oliver have both played within days of hand surgery, so who knows how that compares to this.' @Webber' our resident physio might have a bit more info. Apparently the big issue for Dom is the pain management side. Will be an interesting selection.

If they take Tyson in then it won't be a risk 'Red'... Different matter if he had a leg or shoulder problem but if the plate has done it's job then he will be 100%. If it effects his ball handling at all in training then he doesn't play. This one should be an easy yes or no unlike a bit of a dodgy hammy...

Please don't wish Ticketmaster on anyone. These are the guys that have Ticketmaster Resale, have a look at the prices on this site and you will get what it is about... The 2 internationally owned ticket agencies are not the answer, not the place to go into the way they deal but they fall under the 2 major conglomerates that run entertainment world wide. They are very powerful and not afraid to wield that power. There is a reason they didn't apologise...they just don't care. They are too big to care about a few fans of a backwater sport. There has to be a better solution.

Something not right here...they take years to get him right he plays a couple of games, seems to be going ok. Then gets dropped for team balance????

Yes, the system is stuffed and their is a bit of a stirring going on in the political scene...but if it were you or I we would have no chance of approaching Dutton and getting the matter sorted. Mates in high places, advantage etc...I'm sure the political donation doesn't hurt when you need to get the ear of someone with influence.

That's nice to know seeing as I couldn't get on to the site. I know they won't care, in fact don't care but who is the moron that put all the ticket on sale on the same day. Seriously no one in power gives a flying f.... It matters little to them as the tickets will still be sold at the end of the day....

So, who did the Doggies, Saints, Port, Freo and Swans beat on the weekend. Those players selected must have made the difference.... Kane's taking the P... now.

He's had a really good season as a KPD...well deserved. Should probably make the AA 22... Take off the red & blue glasses '11'.
