Collingwood Season 2009

[NO-MERCY]

Hopefully Thomas, Didak, Medhurst, all back this week Cloke maybe another week tho i believe that should be enough to kill off the YO-YO's. ( Power )

[Pup]

The game against WCE reaffirms to me how good Mick is as a coach. Will be sad to see him go, if indeed he does go elsewhere.

Do not get too carried away!

Carried away with what? Rating him as a coach? I don't think I'm really putting my balls on the line by rating Mick Malthouse as a coach.

We all know he is a very good coach but what in this game did he do that was so brilliant? He was hardly up against a coaching genius, in fact Woosha seemes to be a pretty ordinary game day coach IMO.

[Q.]

I'm not saying he did anything brilliant, I was merely showing appreciation of his ability to a take arguably one our worst sides in years and give them a game plan that would win a match (although it took the players a second go to get it right). Yes, he is a great coach, and with all the talk of him going elswhere, perhaps I was just feeling nostalgic. Obviously I want him to stay.

anyone think we need cloke or rocca? I think we are better without them..

[wycbloods]

How has Cam Wood been the last few weeks since he broke into the side?

[Q.]

We played Port, who are average. I think we still need Cloke, may not kick bags of goals, but his work and effectiveness up the ground is invaluable. Plus he takes a good defender away from someone like Anthony. Throw in Rocca to take another defender, just don't kick it to him, get him to make dummy leads all day

Cam Wood has been okay, a good foil for Fraser, but lacks a bit of presence.

The local tattoo parlour has been doing a roaring trade..

yeah you guys have played against some quality sides lately maybe when they win a game that counts you can say how good you are traveling

[Hondo]

If they can keep their best side out there they will make the 8. They aren't top 4 material but they are right in the next bunch I reckon.

It's less than that.

We have five 'home' games against interstate opposition. We have six 'home' games against Victorian clubs. We have four 'away' games interstate and seven 'away' games against Victorian clubs in Victoria.

It'll come. I'm more concerned about winning my own premiership.

FFS, hurry up and sign Mick

I now think they are a genuine top 4 side .. they have some players with that X factor that's very dangerous if they all click at once

They are premiership material!!
Not too sure if to many teams would like to meet them in a final (well they might in a grand final) .. GO YOU PIES..

You'd fit in well at Alberton Hondo.....................

Collingwood do the simple things right, are well coached, have plenty of talent and go hard at the footy. What more do you need to be top four material. I might hate em but I would want any part of them in September.
