Keep it rolling Sydney. Hardly an injury. Opposition players dropping like flies including two of Dog's best tonight. Shocking 50 m penalty to end it. Swans are an excellent team, but I can see it all unravelling with a few injuries late in the season and a slight drop in form.

Hopefully it's Parker. Richards creates scoring opportunities when he touches the pill, so the longer he is out there the better our chances of hitting the scoreboard.

Every club has them. Sadly, it's a common aspect of human nature. Cowards venting anonymously and thinking nothing of the hurt they inflict. The same scum are in a frenzy of joy when the object of their hate has a match winning performance. Fickle freaks.

My fear is once again seeing Krueger off early (assuming he replaces my boy Cox) with an injury, leaving us completely reliant upon Checkers as our only tall target without even a medium sized player to help out. No Degoey, Reef or WHE to pinch hit in that role. It's a huge risk.

The damage Freddy inflicts is always and only to himself.

Jackson and Darcy would grab the pill and kick it forward or hand it off every time they opposed him at a centre bounce. I just can't see him being competitive in that role.

He's a completely different player from the one who left us. That's why we let him walk. Now we know what we are getting which is better than a speculative draft pick. It's all a part of the approach Browne flagged when he said we intended to stay in contention through astute trading and...

I'd welcome him back with open arms. Players from overseas get homesick. It was a tough time for local boys during covid let alone someone so far from home.

Nonsense. He's done a great job on a number of big forwards. His kicking and reading of the play has improved out of sight!

It is exciting to see so much young blood being injected into the side and so far they have all shown something. You just hope we don't reach a tipping point with our inexperience.

Does he have standout pace Jen or does he just run all day and cover a lot of ground?

GG- you are not given to overstatement or hyperbole, are you? I may be the other extreme, but Harrison has displayed some elite skills in high pressure moments that have me believing we have a genuine 200 gamer on our hands. His handpassing in tight situations is on a par with Pendles based on...

Do you see the battering the ruckman's body cops throughout a game? Knees in ribs and thighs, constant wrestling. and it's even more wearing for an undersized player with a suspect body. If it ain't broke...... as they say.

It seems we can label some Collingwood players soft without fear of ferocious push back and others ....... By the way I think what you wrote is nonsense. Cox has always struggled to hold his ground when trapped under the ball-it may be simply biologically more difficult when you have such long...

Clearly, if someone is the best available you select them. The person I was responding too initially made no such qualifications.

Exactly. So, reasons like it is Indigenous Round or being played in a player's home state are ridiculous reasons for selecting a player.

You don't pick players for any other reason than they earned their position on form. Any other reason makes a farce of the selection process.

He is the true superstar you dream about coming to your club. He is the stuff of legend. Build him a statue now. Yet our Nick carved him up!

Some nice moments but continues to do all the hard work in marking contests and then drops the mark. Fumbly at times. He needs to make every post a winner to become a regular member of the side. He does have the happy knack of kicking around the corner goals or snaps when he plays in the seniors.

You bet. Only when they make ridiculous comments like "Cox is the worst mark in the AFL." Or "Cox was putrid." Dumb comments. He is a workhorse. We are in all sorts if he goes down. Some have no idea about role players and how essential they are in freeing up the guns or giving them support...

Joe Richards looks the real deal to me. Every time he goes near the pill something good happens. He is surprisingly strong in the contest and when tackling much bigger players and his pace is a real weapon. Joe has to stay in the 23.

Billy was fantastic. What's a bloke got to do to get a bit of love? He was a calm presence when others were looking stressed in that last term.

No. You don't get footy. Stuff stats. They are a laughable representation of a player's worth and out put so often. The eye test is the one that counts. The fact that Cox gets selected week in and week out under the legendary Fly's insightful eye says it all. The Bronx cheer says a lot about the...

Pardon?

Delicious. The Bogans know their footy.

;)

Were you at the game today? I agree when you say Coxy's judgement was poor today but for every ball he ran under or double grabbed he made a strong contest and forced the ball to ground or worked his arse off in ruck duels. He ran up and down the ground trying to be a target when we went forward...

Looks like Freddy will never get a look in if Checkers stays fit from here on in.

Not when the team is bereft of size and missing a number of players. It's just about making sure our young talent gets the right coaching and are ready to step up like Joe, Finn, Reef and even Billy have in recent weeks.

Surely, he has to play next week if Checkers doesn't get up. What do you think, Jen?
