Who else is out injured? so far a pretty slow start for the Pies thought they would have beaten Richmond by a fair bit more.

Find out a bit more Friday night against the Blues.

Krak and Caff gone for the season.

Dids to work his way back through the VFL, starting this week I think. Brown to have another game or two in the VFL as well.

Maxwell, Wellingham & Johnson should all return this week.

Can't be too much wrong with the world when collingwood are losing

[NO-MERCY]

Collingwood played some great football last year & previous years under ( Malthouse ) yet don't look a shadow of themselves this year under ( Buckley ).
Carlton yes are a great side, brilliant midfield, a tight sound attacking back half & an elusive quick forward line thats going to trouble all sides in the comp, it looks at this stage the year of the Blues, one thing for sure is Collingwood will not finish top 4 & have been over-rated by the media, they have the "playing personel" yet aint playing for ( Buckley ) like they were playing for ( Malthouse )
Maybe Eddies decision to get rid of Mick for his " Chum " Bucks is going to backflip, as a Collingwood supporter i've never been happy with this decision & cracks are starting to show.
Playing Carlton, Essendon, Geelong, West Coast & Hawthorn twice this year, Collingwood need a miracle to finish in the top 4. for me at this stage i'm hoping for a 5-8 finish which i think is generous.
I hope ( Buckley ) can get this team playing with confidence once again like under Mick.
I'm holding my breath!

[Q.]

It's obvious our depth isn't that great anymore and injuries to key players is hurting more than it has in previous years. I don't think you can underestimate the losses of Leigh Brown and Leon Davis. Brown was a crucial player, in that he allowed us to go into games with only one recognised ruckman, and he could be used up forward or down back. Davis was like a quarterback, phenomenal foot disposal and helped move the ball out of defense with ease.

No Krak hurts and Dids is probably past it. Jolly looks past it and Wood is shit.

The players are having trouble adjusting to Bucks' plans.

What hurts most though is some of the soft efforts - I lost count of the times that Goldsack did not give a shit.

[Q.]

And Sinclair has to be dropped, effin useless.

We're in trouble......

and I hate effing Carlton - hopefully they'll get premiership favourtism and choke
Amazing what being down the bottom for so long rewards you with

I'm thinking we should do a Carlton and tank this year. Good draft to nab some higher draft picks.

Leigh Brown not under estimated at all, he couldn't go anymore his knee was rooted so if he kept going he would of been taking up a spot of an up & coming youngster.
Yes Wood is just not up to it, i've only seen him play 1 good game that was here at Footy Pk 2 years ago.
Another stupid decision was getting rid of Davis ( All Australian ) yes he hasn't set the world on fire in Grand Finals yet dominated the minor round & helped set the Pies up for a major round assault, he would of been ideal for Garlett or Betts last night, Davis should of been rewarded with an extra 50-100K for his consistent season, i've always thought that was how you kept your spot in the team "CONSISTANCY"

[Dog_ger]

After lasts night game against Carlton,

I know its early,

But I don't think they are a top 6 team under Buckley.

Bring back Mick at any cost.

I've never rated Goldsack and I've never seen anything from him to suggest why he plays AFL.

I'm holding faith (for now) that it's just a transitional period in adjusting to the different ways bucks wants the boys playing. Let's hope it's teething problems and it will eventually click and all come together.

[Q.]

Does Mick have miracle healing properties? I don't think even Mick is going to get the likes of Krak, Caff, BJ, Taz, Brown, Reid, Ball et al back onto the park

Yeah I don't know why Mick even gets bought up.

He's gone and he ain't coming back!!
