The only ordinary thing about Fritsch is his hairstyle. Very smart forward.

It was a Melbourne home game in Alice Springs of all places and against a side from sunny WA. Not sure what the stats are but I feel like they've put in a few stinkers up there. Hard to imagine they could be that bad again with the talent they have or as bad on the MCG.

Watching the presser with Fly and I'd be surprised if Johnson plays against Melbourne. Bring in Kreuger and McInnes, send Frampton to defence then make a decision whether Dean goes out and/or we play Howe forward. Without Mihocek and McStay my thinking is Howe might be the only tall forward...

It was never about which "crap" kpf played. It was about the selection of a forward who could enable Frampton to remain in defence. All we achieved last week was taking Frampton away from his best position and then went about relying on these "crap" kpf to make an impact. The fact both then...

It's all very odd to me and let's be honest if he was playing elsewhere we'd all be speculating. I wish the club would or could be more open because I can't ever recall a player being sidelined with something described as a vascular issue and what does that even mean because there are various...

You're more optimistic than me. On the AFL site they have Elliott listed TBC and Mitchell 1-4. The Collingwood site mentions a possible return sometime between rounds 13-16 for both. I'll be pleasantly surprised if we see either prior to the bye.

Medicine is science but it's not always exact. While imagining has probably improved since remember back in 07 I think it was when Buckley kept injuring or getting hamstring awareness? The scans kept showing nothing and it wasn't until they decided to open him up they found a minute tear.

It feels wrong hoping for a Tigers win and yet here I am.

While I believe we made a couple of errors last night surrounding selection and implementation I think most of us knew entering the week that our chances of winning were 50/50 at best and that's before we even got the news on Pendlebury. Alas his omission on top of everyone else was probably...

Reid is an awesome young talent but he's got FIGJAM written all over him and I wonder how long before the opposition supporter groups turn on him. Nick is far more humble in comparison.

He had an off night but he's had a great season to date and the reasons for both were on display last night. He takes the game on, he desires to keep the ball moving forward for the side, he provides bounce and energy. When you play this kind of high risk high reward game sometimes you have...

The players tired in the end but the effort was there. Can't help but feel that a couple of decisions by the coach backfired and different decisions could have lead to a win. The first was playing Frampton forward or more importantly removing him from defence in order to play as the 2nd ruck...

The Bont starting to look like Bob Ross.

We've given ourselves a chance but we also keep giving them a sniff. In the first quarter it was all the behinds. This quarter the silly free by Josh which lead to goal which then gave them energy and resulted in another goal soon after.

1 disposal for Johnson. 1 mark. 3 tackles. 5 disposals for Frampton. 3 marks. 2 hit outs.
