I’d expect Collingwood to drop off a cliff at some stage. We’ve got an aging list (all the 30+ players are going around again next year) and apart from Nick Daicos not a lot of young talent pushing through, and we don’t have a lot of draft / trade capital.
I don’t expect us to hit rock bottom...
3 rounds yet to play and Collingwood clearly have the better form.
Since June Carlton have only beaten North.
By contrast Collingwood have just defeated Premiership favourites and the bestest most amazing team in Carlton.
Not really.
Senior coaching would be an all-consuming job - and not just in-season. There are 44 players to keep track of, 17 other teams to keep track of, media commitments, sponsor’s commitments, training prep with assistants, running training sessions, plotting Gameplan, game review...
I think the point is that the players getting their break (the bye, as you say) …
… but the coaching panel are not. The coaches still need to work during their bye round because future opponents are playing games. Playing no games during a bye round means the whole competition being able to...
I think he’s got a point.
Give the whole competition a week off.
But it’s one those suggestions you happily toss out safe in the knowledge it’ll never happen. The broadcasters would never support it.
Oh, c’mon, are you really suggesting you’ve never seen examples of that paid the other way?
The nature of our game means that you could find vision to support any position you like …
… but what we see happen many times every game is a player taking an uncontested mark and immediately playing...
Not true.
When players mark the footy and immediately play on, their opponents don’t sit and wait around for the umpire to call “play on”.
That happens all the time.
Let’s be realistic, either team could have won that game. Carlton certainly had their chances to win it. And Carlton did dominate in patches.
But Collingwood were the better team across the four quarters.
Probably best for Carlton that they did lose it to provide them with a fair indication...
You do realise Collingwood (+ Carlton no doubt) have members all around the country who aren’t able to fly to Melbourne every other weekend to watch home games?
Some of my local RSL’s had their ceremony this year on April 21st? (Presumably to allow some folks to go to both their local service and one of the bigger services)
It’s a difficult one - how do you remind your society take their security seriously, and not take their freedoms for granted, when...
Ah lovely, tell us more about the good old days.
I heard that the cool kids used to listen to the Bay City Rollers on cassette tape, is that really true?
