I don't want to sidetrack another thread so this is said respectfully. You base your player ratings on the persons values??? Col, that is, ah, unusual.. You nailed the first 2 paragraphs. His style has certainly changed since he crossed to us. Much more contested aerial work in his play now. I reckon that is a feather in the cap of our coaching team. They have turned him into a weapon.

Always wanted Brown in our colors when he was with Norf. He will end up a dual or triple premiership player now. A nice bloke with lots of bling around his neck. Congrats Ben. And thanks for crossing over to us.

3 norm Smith medals. And not "possibly" the greatest? Please expand on your thoughts.

Possibly the greatest player in AFL history. Any move he makes will be a newspaper headline and a marketing tool with not much else behind it. Does not have a great deal of 1%er left in him. At least not for the fanfare it would involve.

I can't. I blew $200 on the Hawks, thinking "we never beat these [censored]. Why will today be any different"....

Agree. I love the look of it and would be happy to see that as our Sir Doug Nicholls round kit. Really like the Bombers design too. Ours is growing on me after I initially didn't think much of it.

Chandler looks to be throwing the Eagles player into the ground instead of just "bringing him down". Won't be annoyed if he gets suspended. Just as I was furious that Hawkins was let off. Jesus that bastard gets away with blue murder.

Really can't work out where the "speculators" are coming from here. What exactly would Brayshaw be moving for if he decided to leave? Is he unhappy with his position in the side? If he is, is it about playing in the middle/on ball to get more kicks? Just can't see it myself. It's not as if he is fringe and is looking for a regular spot. He would be one of the top 10 picked and can play in just about every role except K.P. If it's not money or family (and his folks live in Melb) what on earth could it be? I reckon he will stay. Be interesting to see if Tim Lamb and co have done the sums correctly.

Yeah good point. Didn't consider the insurance angle. Selfish and inconsiderate.

Not a big deal I wouldn't have thought. Every second person I work with has driven unlicensed at some stage. Hope he is looked after by the club.

With the latest 2 outs, it's getting harder for me to temper my expectations. Still happy that my favorite oppo player in McGovern will be playing. The guy is a weapon.

I'm just gambling responsibly.

Changes that didn't kill anyone, and made perfect sense once implemented. Decimal currency Weekend work Women getting the vote. Twilight Grand Final. Can't understand why anyone has a problem with this.

A much better list than their ladder standing indicates. There are problems at GWS that Cameron couldn't fix. Will require a tough coach to get things right. Maybe the AFL will tap Clarko the way they did Roos?

Not to be a smartass but that seems to be our aim every week.

Lamumba is not indigenous Heritier believes he has a case against Collingwood for racist behavior. Racism is not limited to being committed against our indigenous community.

Silly Billy, of course not. We just don't look to be playing with that intensity at the moment. This is not a premiership game, it's a H&A game against a terribly out of form side playing at home. Of course it's possible. Very possible. I'm just not expecting it.

Sean Darcy Josh Daicos Sam Collins Charlie Curnow Shai Bolton Jordan Dawson Tom Green Aaron Naughton Zac Bailey Callum Mills What do I win?

Yes I did. Money / mouth.

His kicking out of defence is far too valuable for him to be moved alsewhere. Agree that Riv has not been at the top of his game recently and may be at risk of a rest.

Wanna have a wager on it? I reckon our "system" does not really lend itself to huge scores. We are thrashing sides without it showing on the scoreboard because of our defence-first game. I'm thinking around 40-50 pts barring Covid interruptions. Might even be closer.

Hard to hate the perf sides now, after the way they embraced us for the Grand Final. Actually, I lied. [censored] the eagles. Lets keep the bastards goalless all day.

Exactly what he is. Wants to be the AFL Colin Kapernick.

Don't get me started on "Secretaries Day" A cynical money grab by the florist industry.
