Andy D has come out and said the situation at Etihad wont change.
AFL make a decision 2 hours before the game as to if the roof is shut or not. If its not raining at that time the roof will remain open

It's rubbish to watch when the roof is open.
Maybe he should remember that it's all about TV revenue and watching a good spectacle for the paying customer.
Sun glare is ridicules when it's open.
Shut the roof dumb dumbs.

interestingly a few players have said with the the roof open = dry surface and the closed roof causes some dew on the surface.

However you build a stadium with a roof, in a state known for its rain its a no-brainer to keep roof closed for all matches

Good call. It's a lot of money to play 'spot the ball'. As usual Andy D will stick his head in the sand and say there is no problem.

He can sook, but dont do it in public. Have a grizzle to the CEO and ask them to get answers, but dont do it out in the public forum.

Has looked a sore loser two weeks in a row now.


I agree Booney. Scott even admitted he chose an inappropriate forum and time to vent his spleen. That rant was all about his side coughing up a big lead. Pity the poor old bugger on the end of that spray who can't overule the Dictator.

The boys got nervous towards the end, Murph and Judd were exhausted and couldn't drag us over the line. Mclean the sub was an interesting choice, considering he is the slowest player in the AFL, don't think he will be wearing the vest again anytime soon.

Kreuzer was awesome though. One of the best games I have seen him play.


Kreuzers game was severely overrated. He was playing against a second string ruck man only, and Lynch was absolutely pivotal in the last quarter. Lynch was one of the best for Collingwood. He may have not won the taps, but killed Kreuzer around the ground IMO. Lynchs game was bloody terrific and underrated


Don't agree. Kreuz was our best player with Jamo's job on Cloke a close second?!?!

I reckon Kruezer goes better as a forward. Blues fans must be kicking themselves that they kept Blake and lost Mumford...I mean...kept Warnock and lost Jacobs.

More to it than that. Subbing Laidler had an impact. Krooz definitely our best though. He is still young and barring injury should dominate in a few years
