The heart beats true

I don’t think there is, because it’s glaringly obvious at this point that everything is in the paper 2-48 hours after it’s communicated behind closed doors. I suggest this latest article, with 3 sources from the club, is about the club creating a sense of their truth in the public domain. I think they’ve had enough of trying to defend someone’s position that’s not defending their interests, and are now just seeing if they can come out of this with a gun player traded in. McKay’s name didn’t come from nowhere. Someone’s throwing the cat among the pigeons to see if something beneficial can come from all this. If nothing eventuates it’s not going to upset Petracca. He’s already made his feelings very well known.

This bit is wild… ’Three sources who were at Melbourne’s end-of-season function on Saturday night said there was tension surrounding Petracca’s presence and that it was noticeably uncomfortable between him and several teammates.’

We lost 10 of our last 15, so it wasn’t exactly elite. Lots of mitigating factors, but an absolute mile off where we expected to be.

I want the Prelim’s to be Sydney, GWS, Brisbane and Port - mostly because the AFL will have a heart attack at no football in Melbourne and a guaranteed double interstate grand final. I want to inflict maximum financial damage on the AFL. The last 12 months I think they’ve jumped the shark and waded way too far into the entertainment sphere with how they’ve tried to manufacture and influence outcomes to protect their interests.

Freo is the most irrelevant football club of the AFL era.

Allir and Farrell both look out injured. Blues can’t get any luck with injuries even when it’s not them playing.

7 - 0 free kicks this quarter

I want to click the zero option - for when we win the AFLW grand final in November.

This Sydney Adelaide game is completely devoid of defence.

Thinking philosophically about this game… If you told me in March that we’d play Collingwood without Petracca, Oliver, Brayshaw, Lever and May I’d say ‘we’ll get beaten by 10 goals.’ If your game is built on contest and defence, and 80% of the personnel isn’t available to execute on it, then you’re not going to win. Imagine Carlton without Cripps, Walsh, Cerra, Weitering and McGovern?

This year is horrible

I’d support any candidate who wants to build a wall around the MCG and keep Collingwood supporters out.

He’ll make $2 million from social posts? I doubt that.

Jesus wept, that’s a real thing.

Shout out to the MCG staff for making no effort to protect the value of our memberships, by letting anyone sit anywhere they wanted.

This day has been a fiasco. Now some one has run into the tracks and no trains are running from Flinders Street. This season can get in the bin.

It’s not psychological, it’s game style.

This is a weirdly fitting end to a very odd and disappointing 12 months as a Melbourne member.

He better come out and clearly state he’s a Demons for life. I can’t handle hearing anything else this week. I’m still raw from the JLo-Affleck divorce announcement.

Adelaide have clear cultural problems. (Hope you’re reading this Tom).

‘It’s a proud day for the Collingwood Football Club’.

Massive thanks for all the training reports @WalkingCivilWar Your passion for the footy club, and the time you invest in training and the DA, makes this place a lot brighter during the winter months. Love your work.

I didn’t realise litigation against the club was an option. Anyone want to join an emotional distress class action suit for the 1970’s to 2020?

The fall out from the showdown is wild. A Port fan is trying to press charges against Matt Crouch because he knocked his hat off. It’s crazy.

After listening to that SEN interview I’ve made the decision to have Jake Lever handle all communication with my family moving forward. Absolute class.
