Please point out in the game where Josh and Nick were taking it easy thanks to their six year deals. Because they damn didn’t.

Unlike my usual self, I’m really concerned at the lack of intensity and awareness that I witnessed at the G today. I tell you it is a very long and tedious train trip back when you lose

We’re in a slump,there’s no two ways about it.I don’t know what’s caused it.Complacency?The fact that we’re two games clear on top of the ladder and thought we had a home final wrapped up?I don’t know.But we’d better snap out of it pretty damn soon,starting with next week.

No, but right now, we're paying a squillion for a light weight mid who struggles with a tag. If Nick doesn't work through this, this deal kills the club for the rest of the decade.

I must admit that I have always believed that Collingwood would not have won the 1990 GF had we played the Hawks.

Coaches conferences were both interesting, Mitchell certainly seems like a up and coming coach, Hawks did well there....well better than we managed in any case, although time will tell.

Fly looked a bit rattled TBH, not sure if he has the answers, spoke a lot about psychology.... make of that what you will.

Ultimately we will not know the answer until September. I think we will win next week and next...final week who knows ....or indeed cares

Let's not get carried away. He had a bad day, but he's been very rarely beaten in that fashion since he burst onto the scene.

Only a few weeks back, everyone was talking about how he was untaggable.

Well the Pies 1990 flag stopped 4 straight for the Hawks...so kind of like 2018...except we actually won!

Every player needs to be on a 1yr contract & reviewed at the end of the season.

Fkn 1000yr contracts, mate I have no idea where I’ll be next week, let alone 5-6yrs from now…

FMD!

Hence why I said, If. But the comment stands. So far, Nicks is struggling with a hard tag.
