Grundy beaten two weeks in a row doesn't help. Needs to asert himself more. In my view he needs to stop doing yooga for beginners & pull his head out of his arse: Allowing opposition the ruck to kick a goal and simply not work hard enough has been telling. He's meant to be a Ruckman and not a Ruckrover. Time for him to have a long black and get off the friggin lattes.

^ against west coast?

The money should be on a loss - I wish it wasn't so.

Adams would be a good in if he's fit

i partly agree. he gets knocked over far too easily, however can someone explain to me how three palyers can drag him to ground, just as they did Cloke, and thats just fine and dandy, but lay a finger on the opposition and its a free kick?


how the hell did Treloar not get a high call when he was right smack in front of goals?

no we didnt play well enough to deserve to win, however, thats 2 games we have lost by less than a goal with really really shitty umpiring. what we should say is play well enough to be in front by enough that no green slimy umpire can make a decision, and yes i really believe they pick and choose.

my only hope for the rest of the season is the many players out injured, Howe is worth at least a goal, as is Adams, means we can win these close ones. dont get me started on Stevo.


also, the week off, how come Gooey took a week in Bali? is this putting them in the wrong frame of mind? it should be a week to recuperate, ready for the second half, they get enough time off at the end of the season. id be in a slump too coming back to melbourne weather after 35 degrees and a pina colada on the beach!

We should probably be grateful he didn’t damage his ankle ligaments surfing or tripping on a frisbee someone’s dog had half-buried on the beach.

Was my mrs' birthday last night. Took her to see the Harry Potter stage show. It finished in time that I could hear the final 3 minutes. So I still couldn't avoid the weekly heart failure we all suffer.

He got lucky in 3 prelims which they went onto win flags.

He assaults opposition supporters.

He turns up to under 9s games and tell kids to get *&^ked

He verbally abuses journaists

He instructs his players to play physically well outside the rules

He has ethical malnutrition issues.

He has lost his last 4 finals.

No, no, no no and No.
Let's get serious about your second line 'He got lucky in 3 prelims which they went onto win flags'.

You, me and every other Collingwood supporter would love that statement if it was applied to us.

We are given 5 goals head start and can't bloody win a GF on our home ground in front of 60-70k Collingwood supporters. The last club you want to say anything about is Hawthorn.

We have lost more 'not finals' but 'Grand Finals' than I've had hot dinners.

Yes Yes and Yes for me!!!

Playing with Cox is like starting with 21 players.
He is a liability and needs to learn how to play football.
He doesn’t lead, doesn’t know how to mark a footy with 2 hands, gets pushed off the ball too easily, and let’s his player run off him at every contest.
The fact that Bucks plays Cox is embarrassing for supporters, and insulting to the 100 other CHF’s around Australia that would be better than Cox!

Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
