Re: The Jack Newnes factor.
t's weird and somewhat creepy to peep on Carlton's fansite, but I can't help it.... On Newnes.. (after just four games) "This isn't a question of Newnes' career performance, it's a question of what he can manage today. He's clearly not the player he was, and we're clearly not playing him in th...

Re: Nicky Winmar suing Sam Newman and co-hosts for attempt to revise historical moment
You must have been a very articulate and worldly five year old when you went to that match at Moorabbin 30 years ago to witness such racial abuse and make a bold and defining decision to attend only spasmodically over the next 30 years. Was the abuse leveled at our players by North fans or at North...

Re: Nicky Winmar suing Sam Newman and co-hosts for attempt to revise historical moment
I was at that game in the outer and do not recall a single racist word yelled at a player.

Re: Nicky Winmar suing Sam Newman and co-hosts for attempt to revise historical moment
By questioning the original motive of Winmar raising his jumper - you are effectively arguing any number of the following: - He's a liar. - He's deceived many people for his own personalr gain. - He might not have really cared about racism at the time, and winning a game of footy meant more to him....

Re: RUCK Duo Zero
From watching the game on TV it appeared in the 1st quarter that Grundy was absolutely slaughtering Marshall, whereas Ryder was jumping over the top of him on occasions and could at least compete. Ryder was beating Grundy to the point he actually infringed at every contest there after to beat Ryder...

Re: Changes Rnd 4
Anyway, I don't think the pinch hitter role is such a big deal, if Marshall rucks 90% plus of the time. Grundy rucks 95% of the time for Collingwood. I mean, Jason Blake was our main ruckman at one stage - at 189cm, and we benefited from his around-the-ground work - and it hasn't come to this, now....

Re: Unpluggered: Lenny Hayes on his career and Hall of Fame

Lenny is a selfless character, and one of the most courageous leaders and a smart guy who knew and believed with that big heart of his where the team was heading under the leadership of GT. I think he knew that guys like Max ...

Re: Team v Dogs
Well the backline would want to perform if Roberton cannot get a game in it. FWIW, I’d have found a way to get him in, even if it meant playing him out of position. He’s a best 22 player and versatile enough to play a number of roles IMO. Carlisle could be versatile, too, if he wanted to be, but pr...

Nick Coffield, who was not mentioned, is up 100 points in the rich man's futures portfolio. We pick them because they are here now, expensive, and we need to fi...

Re: Junk yard stalker
I never thought of Laidley as a "quality person". A lot of trouble seems to magically find him. He didn't even attempt to get bail - odd, really. Never felt comfortable when he was in a coaching role at the club.

I always felt that Malt Mickhouse looked a lot like Punch, from Punch and Judy. He didn't help himself by growing that ridiculous little tuft of facial hair right under his enormous mouth. Agree with you Saynta, Mickey was a turd.

Paddy clearly isn’t in the right frame of mind to make this decision. No chance he will or should play again, he’s a ticking time bomb. Yeah, I'm inclined to think that, given all the evidence and his truly awful concussion history. In my humble opinion, he has too much of the later career "Ko...
