Collingwood Season 2011

[CoverKing]

Yeah, well, the 5 of us in the Power board all agree with each other and it doesn't get very busy in there either!

As a neutral supporter in the AFL I reckon I should be able to post on the Power and Crows boards, as long as I behave myself.

So do I. Biggest load of crock the rules about port and crows board. Yeah I go for Richmond but I still go for the crows if they don't play the tiges. The lack of discussion in both boards is absolute carp IMO. Just need moderators to delete troll posts. Leaning away from the site in general because of these rules for those boards. Luckily there's a supercoach board otherwise I wouldn't be on here

Woot- got some standing room tickets for the big ANZAC clash. Better than nothing!

Can't be bothered starting a new thread for it, but what are people's thoughts on Anzac Day Medals being handed out retrospectively?

Bit of a w@nk IMO.

Fair enough considering it's only 15 years old the event and they didn't do it for the first 6 years. Good thinking to do it now IMO

What's everyone's thoughts on Didak?
Seems a bit out of touch at the moment.

Will come good. Didn't have a preseason cause of that bicep/arm injury. Only played the one trail game in the nab cup grand final. I'm backing him to come good very soon

I agree, this week he'll turn it on.
I still think their are a few Collingwood players down compared to last year but like Malthouse says its only May.

Are Collingwood in trouble v Melbourne today without Swan, Thomas, Beams all noteable goalkickers for the Pies?
I think so & we could drop this game, i hope not but this is where we need Cloke & Dawes to stand up & dominate up forward, if they don't we will be inflicted with our 2nd defeat.
Mind you the midfield have to win first use of the ball to give these guys every opportunity.

[tigerpie]

great opportunity to test our depth imo.be good to see how we stack up mentally against melbourne.any complacency and we'll get done.

I just put a few dollars on Melbourne 1-39 @ 5.00 . Not without a chance.

I picked the Pies and here's why. Bailey has no idea how to counter the press. He has done his bit for Melbourne but they won't advance until they get a new coach. The press is nothing new and it seems that Bailey is at least 12 months behind the times. I agree with you that this match was a winnable one as far as Melbourne was concerned but Malthouse ran rings around Bailey and IMO he must go. Bailey that is.

Always easy after the event.

[NO-MERCY]

Exactly - always easy after the event.
I thought this was a danger game for the Pies coming into the bye as Melbourne have always taken it up to them as seen last year.
Good thing about today with 5 guns out is the depth shown by the boys, the players that come in all stood up & it was great to see them smash the Demons, aswell as seeing Cloke kick 6 goals.

[Dogwatcher]

Thought it was a danger game too.
Sharrad stood up - how good is he around stoppages????
Ball was ferocious and the Demons had nothing to stop the Big boys.
Also....thank you, thank you, thank you Mick for playing Leon down back and giving us a sight of how he can realllllllly play.
Loving his role in the side at the moment.

[Q.]

Liked the look of Fasolo. Showed a mix of class and grit in his debut.

[Dogwatcher]

And....Dids is starting to look the goods again.
When I asked about him, it looked like the thought of brilliance was there.
Now it looks like the ability to deliver brilliance is back, it just needs a bit more tuning.
Can't wait for it to kick in again.

i must admit i thought melbourne would at least put up a good fight against collingwood, but that didnt happen
