The political machinations at Collingwood
Pluses and minuses here. Would you think it good to have no candidates to vote for in the upcoming State elections? 10 candidates gives members options, it's called democracy. The down side of democracy is you are answerable to your constituents and this can make some things difficult to achieve as not all of them will agree with your ideas. Some might even have better ideas.

AFLW: QF vs Adelaide
Goldy is a unique player...we use her in a shutdown role but she's also used us an attacking take the game on option at the same time.

AFLW: QF vs Adelaide
Colin Hay was great...got home and just finished the replay. How good was that! Will read everybody's posts tomorrow but a couple of quick thoughts. Mackin is improving with every game and super important tonight. How good will she be when she learns the game. Gillard is surprising me, another improving with each game. Bannan! that 6 bounce run was insane. Then add the rest of her game. X-factor plus. That was a free to Hore at the end...Randall dived and took her legs out.

AFLW: QF vs Adelaide
The addition of Mackin and Goldy to the round one side makes us stronger. Also the experimentation with Heath during the season gives us a lot more versatility. ...and almost forgot giving Harris a run in the ruck has been a great move.

Training Ground?
Give it a break 'Nev'.... ...so you're not the slightest bit concerned that nothing has been communicated on the new facility? If not, do you have some inside info that things are all on track? ...or is it just blind faith?

Training Ground?
I think it gets bumped ever time we hear of another club upgrading their facilities. A few weeks back it was Brisbane now it seems to be Adelaide and here is us still crickets.... Nothing to do with Lawrence I would think.

Training Ground?
You don't think there is a problem here? Personally haven't been up in arms about it as I've thought we had it in hand. ...however the longer it goes without any news I feel a little concerned and that concern is growing.

It's a pleasure to watch our team play...and that reflects in the figures.

Michael Hibberd & Jake Melksham - 1 Year Extensions
Seems not reading the above.

Michael Hibberd & Jake Melksham - 1 Year Extensions
My understanding is they both got a 1 year contract. Might be wrong...

Going to miss this one (always knew I should have got the Saturday night tickets for Colin Hay instead of the Friday), will have a late night watching the replay.

AFLW: Rd 10 vs West Coast
Of course she didn't. Even the commentators didn't know until after the game so there was no way known Daisy would have. As you say, she played is the way they played the game and it was the right call.

AFLW: Rd 10 vs West Coast
Really proud of the girls...what a great season they've had. Well coached and well led on field. Some real pluses are Goldy running into some form, Zanker starting to realise her ability and Heath on ball and as a tagger. Special mention to Makin who is getting better by the game, really works hard back and forward from her wing. We're set up for a good finals campaign, let's hope we can go all the way this time.

AFLW: Rd 10 vs West Coast
Looks like we will be finishing 2nd... C/Wood just not very good and Brisbane are well on top now.

Which Demon is the most likely to have a breakout year in 2023?
Lachie Hunter...back to his best with us.

Five man interchange
I would be happy with 4 and dropping the cap on rotations significantly. That would minimise the issue with injuries.
-
Five man interchange
I'm waiting for the coaches to start wingeing about how unfair it is if they get an injury early on and are one man down. ...so then we will get a 5 man bench and injury sub. ...but then the cry will be about how some are abusing it and it's not fair. ...then we will go to a 6 man bench. ....but then. Anyway, you get the idea.

AFLW: Rd 09 vs Essendon
Interesting read...I guess we knew this anyway. https://www.womens.afl/news/110449?_ga=2.147689975.1738527483.1666704721-2020571945.1662186548

Phantom Drafts Thread 2022
You've got your sums wrong 'Pennant'... Surely with 2 dodgy knees it's 2x4 flags and 2x 300 games. So I'll be expecting 8 flags and the first player to reach 600+ games.

AFLW: Rd 09 vs Essendon
Looking forward to this one 'BDA'...hopefully the weather holds and we can build that percentage.

MFC Premiership Rings
Like to have seen them do it on their own...they didn't and that's the point. Without a strong list, many of those who played in winning game to get us there we fail. The season is more than just one game...it's a season. Anyway, won't argue any longer otherwise I will get your 'Lord' impersonation.
