Taking players you need vs. the best players available

I’m not writing this off like a lot of others are. I can recall two occasions where the club used our first round picks to prioritise the “types” of players we apparently needed against the best players available. First, picks 7 and 8 on Clark and Coffield. Second and perhaps the worst use of a numb...

Re: Battle

I’ve only watch half the interview, but from what I’ve seen so far, I thought it was quite good. Interesting comment from Bassett regarding the previous mindset of the club - that success is cyclical and as long as we don’t piss people off, our time will come. A perspective that really seemed to res...

Re: Tm Membrey

My question is are Collingwood just desperate for key forwards (hence the two year deal) and rolling the dice, or can Members realistically squeeze out another two years and we just decided he’s surplus to requirements? He was definitely a heart and soul player and as much as it pains me that he goe...

Re: Andrew Basset tees off

I liked it. I’m sick of being good AFL citizens and just taking it up rear end. The timing is interesting regarding Battle. Maybe the writing is on the wall that we’re going to get shafted on the compo pick and the club is having a behind-the-scenes crack. Although I do agree with Hanners somewhat, ...

Re: Battle told not to attend B and F

While in one hand it may sound petty, but there is likely more than one side to this story. If players and staff alike are snubbing Battle, it may be more than just sour grapes. As good a player as Battle is, we aren’t losing a league top fiver. Maybe there is discontent as to how Battle handled the...

Re: GT on Twitter

GT loves attention and this tweet is akin to what he does to obtain that. However, looking at his tweet objectively, I think it would be a bad move to trade Sinclair and Steele. They’re heart and soul players, two of our best and we “need” their experience, now more than ever. We tried that trading...

Re: Sinclair questions

As a kid my favorite player was Darrell Baldock, then a bit later a Tony Lockett fan. Barry Breen and Andrew Thompson were also given the honor of wearing the revered number 4 jumper. Can anybody recall the recent circumstances where the number 4 has been allocated? Clint Jones, which I thought fla...

Re: Cal Wilkie vs Luke Penny and Max Hudghton

Max was an excellent key back. Zac was serviceable. There is a difference Curly. Of course there is but don't downplay Zac Dawson. Can't remember having a key forward kick a big bag on him while he was with us. Every key forward has a bag kicked on them, even if only sporadically. Even Max had his ...

Re: Cal Wilkie vs Luke Penny and Max Hudghton

Luke Penny was a full back in the traditional sense. He only played two and a half seasons with us. In his first two full seasons, he took 23 and 17 contested marks. In the same years Matt Maguire took 21 and 22 contested marks. Once Penny did his knee in 2005, missing the finals, Max eventually to...

No. Instead, you’ll let him walk out for the sake of your own pinheadedness and overpay less performing players who were selected earlier in the draft.
