It's real. So is the below:

Please, I'm no rookie.

I don't like the idea of a "home game" away from the G but what makes it worse is the shitness of the chosen stadium. It's a soulless destination that happens to be a bastard to get to. Commercial realities and all. I suspect most Collingwood fans don't like Marvel much.

The result flattered the Blues but as much as it pains me to admit this, they're the real deal. :)

No subject to change. Your chucklesome hypothetical didn't warrant a response. I do admire your spunk Robertio. Only takes a few weeks of decent footy for Blues fans to find their voice. :)

Oh 2010, that's the year you finished 8th. A great result for the Blues. Much better than 2002, 2005, 2006, 2015, & 2018. :thumbsu:

Correct. It's impossible to imagine that an upstanding organisation like Carlton would have "worked around" any salary cap rules in years where they weren't caught.

Awful. Just awful.

I find it hard to warm to your avatar. Agree, Schultz shouldn't have hit Acres. (He should have hit Owies).

I'm yet to be fully convinced but the guy wears the guernsey so I'm backing him; he's ours now. Plus, he works his ar*e off. Given a choice between him and Ginni, I'd take him. Any day of the week and twice on the days we play Carlton.

The prospect of a fit McStay lining up for the pies in September is too exciting. We shouldn't jinx it. Without him, we don't beat GWS in last year's prelim.

Watching the Dees play the Cats. It's a yawn, comparatively speaking. Geelong isn't all that. Hopefully, we'll see Scott flip his lid in the coach's box.

100%. Beau looked compelling running through the middle for the brief time he played there and I suspect Sully will be Mitchell's successor. What we saw last night was that collective workrate and pressure is what brings results. Walsh and Crippa are pure class as individual players (felt...

And just like that, our list doesn't seem to "lack depth". As for the other chestnut, our opponent last night lined up with not 1 but 2 KPFs, you know, the position we bat thin in ... we won rather convincingly, even if the score was tight. Now for people to just see the awesomeness in Hosky.

Thanks mate. Classy on your part to drop in. :thumbsu: P.S. There are some good humans at the Blues (not Owies). I love Harry Mc. and wish he played for a club run by nice people.

It's hard to agree with their assessment of HH: "... Harvey Harrison: C Rotated at half-forward and kicked a goal but didn’t have a say on the contest. ..." Darcy Moore was an "A" if only for his 4th quarter efforts. OTOH, I do see the writing on the wall for Sidebum and so do they "C-"...

On occasion I'll come across these gems.

Leggy is coming in to free up Crisp. One of Sullivan/Fin to start. Crisp and Sullivan/Fin are not the compelling combo that Jordy/Mitchell is. Carlton are rightfully favourites but I wouldn't be writing the Pies off. This is the backs-to-the-wall scenario the team has excelled in. A strong...

Harrison won me over. He belongs. Watch the last Q again, if you must. A draw feels hollow for supporters of both sides but the result fairly reflected the state of the game. Both sides could have won but neither staked a claim when it mattered. I suspect Collingwood's post-game review will...

Why use soy as an insult when one can employ pineapple for that purpose?

I love the faith you have in the kid FJ. :thumbsu:

Yep, we were harsh on him. Shoulders are bast*rds to fix and 2 in a row would set anyone back. The rehab is a grind. When I saw Pat mark overhead on Saturday I knew that he had regained confidence in his body. This was a season-defining performance. Onwards and upwards for him.

Will not argue because your view is sensible and as Cousin of Daicos alluded it's not just N. Daicos who ploughed his way into the 22, it was IQ, Ginni, etc. Timing is important though. Would J. Daicos as you remember him in his first couple of years at the club got a game in the current side...

To respond to your first "non-ridiculous" post, yes in my opinion the Blues are legit contenders and they're playing good football. I would qualify this with the disclaimer that this is not the business end of the season. Round 8 will be a great game.

Fair appraisal. Do you think Allan might have had more opportunities if he was drafted by another club? I haven't seen much of the kid but it would be tough to break into a premiership side which bats so deep in his ideal position. Perhaps we've also been spoiled by how easily N. Daicos...
