You know, I'm starting to get your point CURLY and I apologise. Also, I have an idea! Let's get half a premiership cup made up to celebrate the mighty draw and give it to the club to put in its trophy cabinet as well as a set of half premiership draw medallions to give to the players. Maybe we can r...

Thank god you're not coaching us CURLY. I can see you now patting the boys on the back in the rooms post-game with a massive smile on your face. "Forget about today. That draw last week was incredible fellas, just remember that! I didn't expect you guys to win today, you spent it all last week....

Never played I take it? Lyon somehow managed to get Dal, Gram Bakes Jones and Kosi to the big game. One special effort was required and they did that. FFS the guys gave everything to tie that game and would never have played had it been a home and away game probably extended spells to. Now you expe...

Beej, the replay was there to be won. No doubt. But it would always favour the team that took early chances. We didn't. They did. Their first terms ALL year have been rampaging. Still we surged in the second term, but didn't kick straight. No amount of Lyonising can kick the ball for the players. F...

As Paul Roos alluded to in his article, it's an underrated coaching performance by Lyon to get this team into two grand finals. 3-4 elite footballers, 5 very good and the rest are extremely average to good. Ross' system and structure is what makes us competitive. There's fk all he can do when his p...

An incredibly successful 5-10 year period would be a start. A winning culture can only be built through sustained success over a long period of time. Collingwood are the biggest club in Australia on the back of what they achieved between 1900 and 1950. We'll probably never see it in our time but for...

I remember reading on here that of all the new facilities in the AFL, ours is the cheapest. Is this true? In any case, it can't be worse than Moorabbin. Major part of our history - for sure - but it's embarrassing that an AFL club is still based at a dump like that. Difficult for players/staff to be...

It's amazing how it takes a GF loss to make some of us realise how important our loved ones are. I'd hate to think that, had we won yesterday, some of you would've continued to neglect your kids and blown their school tuition fees on guernseys and social club memberships. In that regard, I'm glad we...

You could turn that into a song.

I tell ya what, if I see any sign of an omen or that bloody WIN thread, I'm avoiding this place for the whole of grand final week.

To be fair, while the kick was poor, it actually bounced over Jason Blake's head and into the arms of Jolly who was trailing along behind. While I know that if the kick had hit the target the bounce would not have come into it, the bounce eluded us all day. And remember, all we needed was one lucky...

They even do tests on the character of the family, public speaking ability, personality, social awareness, emotional intelligence etc. This is actually vital IMO. Just as important as pure talent is the ability to handle pressure/adversity. What good is football ability if they can't do it on the b...

The genius of Collingwood playing the boundary line. Which plays right into our hands typically, hence a few thumpings from us in recent times. They played very well yesterday, we played exceedingly poorly, hence the difference. The thumpings were handed out last year to be fair. They're obviously ...

Magic moment! Seeing their die-hard fans soaking up the win! Long fought! Starved of success! Continually knocked down, but kept getting back up! It gives you hope for the future!! There will be a time where we'll feel that same exhilaration! Go Saints!!! Ironically they took their chances when the...

The genius of Collingwood playing the boundary line. They take risks, but minimise those risks by playing along the boundary line. When they lose the footy it makes it difficult for teams to get it back in the corridor. Or they easily usher the ball out of play and setup again. It's quick, cavalier ...

Not only are they a better football club, but their players also have better taste in eye wear.

Now THAT really hurts.

On a side note, What were BJ and Roo thinking with those sun glasses
Maybe i'm not up with current fashions but they looked pretty feminine to me.

Didn't see BJ's but Roo definitely borrowed his from his gf.

Everyone at their club, from the coach down, has been put under pressure to justify their place. They've given these kids their chance, knowing full well that ... if they didn't take it ... a veteran was waiting in the wings for his shot at redemption. Guess what? Their kids took the chance. They a...

Reading that I wound up on Warne's twitter.

Some of the people he's tweeted include Liz Hurley, Russell Crowe, and Brian McFadden LOL

It was never designed, win or lose, to be a "meet and hang out with the players" session. They are feeling 100 times worse than us right now, put your house on it I don't think they'd be feeling worse than I feel, I'd put the dumpster on it! They all netted roughly an extra $50,000 for th...

Agree with that.

I'm pretty sure that if we could all read Nick Riewoldt's thoughts, he wouldn't see the captaincy as a burden. He wants nothing more than to lead this club, his club, to a flag. IMO he's the best captain we've got by a fair margin. He's doing a better job than Lenny or anyone else could ever do. Bec...

Don't see how the Gold Coast would have a bye round 1.

Their opener will be a highlight.

I can't wait to see their first game.

Peake, Dempster, Jones.

Eddy, McQualter, Gilbert.

Blake. Probably Gram.

Far too many players who, to be kind, are inconsistent by foot.
