I'm telling ya, you could get Robbo and Gartlett for a 2 for 1 steal at the end of the year, fair swap for Blair |
 Yeh, knowing the old man, he just might be silly enough to fall for it.

I thought we'd lose and we did. I'm wondering how many of the bile spewing Nicksters also tipped wc?

I just tried a Seinfeld repeat. Best therapy after that rubbish today.
2010 - 1st
2011 - 2nd
2012 - 4th
2013 - 8th
2014 - 12th (most likely)
2015 - 16th would complete the pattern (it's not totally impossible, others are improving, we're not)

I don't know where to start. I can accept losing but when we are served up this kind of insipid, gutless, half hearted effort I cringe for the future.
Playing kids is fine but surely they need guidance and support from the senior players and coaching staff.
We need to take a long hard look at our list now until the end of the season and get ready to make some hard calls on at least 8 players (IMO) and be ready for a rebuild to be incontention from 2017 onwards.
White, Blair, Young, H, Fas are under the pump. Yes I know Fas has been injured a bit and is playing in a new position but his efforts are truly lacking.
Ball, Lynch, Hudson appear gone
I'm actually for the first time really worried about where we are at.
I've been making excuses for the young players and coach but after today's effort no more from me.
I actually fear ext week because the lions where embarrassed today with a young side as well but they have shown this year they hit back hard we don't.
There run will kill us based on today's effort.
I think missing the finals would be a good thing because if we make it it will appear we have had a "decent year" when infact we have been so poor at times it's scarey.
Well the "perceptive fellow" will be out in force this week and rightly so. Today proved they are more close to being right than people like me who have been supporting the players and coach. |

Mudlark, I think you need to rethink. The test of a true Collingwood supporter is whether or not you will stay with the team during the hard times. It's easy for anyone to be a hard core supporter when you are near the top of the ladder. But the true grit is tested now. Yes we are down. But if you throw out your membership card now, then you are not of the same ilk as you demand from our players.
Your last line is a contradiction. You say..yes we have had unimaginable injuries and yes we have played more young players than anyone else...but "enough is enough" even so!! Precisely for the reasons you have stated, our performances will necessarily be at times below par.
Tonight was, I agree, too far below par to be acceptable, but we have to stay firm and support our team as they seek out the answers and fight to reload for next week. When our young guys start to burn in 2 years time, I want to be able to say "Yes, I deserve this happiness because I was there, supporting our team, even when they weren't winning. |

| And if anyone is still deceiving themselves with those promises of bright future just watch the replay of the Dogs/Saints game to see how much behind those 2 sides we'll be in the next couple of years. |

The problem is, there is a genuine and growing feeling that the club doesn't really give a toss anymore, like they are just taking the piss and there as a business to make money and provide golden spoon facilities for the elite. They are living well off your membership money and they know it.

Malthouse is far too smart to take Blair unless he wins on the deal somehow. Robinson and Garlett for Blair? You got to be kidding, no even Tony Abbott would try selling that as a good deal.
And I wouldn't be poking your tongue out about Malthouse right now. Not with the way Spudley is coaching us.

Basically, we are too young to sustain the effort needed across the season. Add to that key injuries and the season is a write off even if we sneak into 8th spot.
Should be better next year. The twos played well.

With a 4-0 lead to bucks v MM, id say bucks has done pretty well against the old bloke.

I know, that like most supporters we tend to have a one-eyed view of umpiring. Lots of decisions can be 50/50.
However....Did they really kick about 8 goals from frees?
Did they really get 3 frees to our one?
I don't think I've ever seen a free for deliberate out of bounds like that one which led to a goal.
I went from fuming to laughing. I had to turn the sound down as the commentary was nauseating.
Perhaps its me, but could you really overturn Beamsy goal on the evidence.
Sssshhhh
Anyway. Deep breath. Next week. |

Our youngsters aren't the problem, the middle tear players are.
Eagles had more injuries coming in and have lost 2 players during the game.
Myths busted. |

Following StKilda's pattern, about a season behind.
