I think it will but of late Collingwood haven’t been using the wing as often as they used to. They have recently been applying immense pressure through the corridor (as seen on saturday night against Geelong) forcing sides to turn the footy over with the likes of Dane Swan, Dayne Beams and Scott Pendlebury moving the footy forward. I just hope Travis Cloke doesn’t let the side down with his goal kicking.
Collingwood prove they're the real deal
Thanks James!
Yeah despicable journalism on my behalf and it is Centrebet that sponsor the Footy Show.
Betting agencies should not sponsor Footy Show
I didn’t read your article prior to writing mine but I will certainly have a read of yours.

Call the Roar writers whatever you like, but if you have to, niggle, punch, attack your opponents injuries etc, you clearly aren’t good enough and are being comprehensively beaten by your opponent, hence relying on the banter behind play to get anywhere near the contest.
AFL match review panel got it right
I watched snippets Hunt on the ABC yesterday and thought he wasn’t too bad.
Dealing with a vastly different game, with players coming from every angle I thought he coped well. He is still shaped like an NRL player, but over time that will change. He will adapt to the AFL conditions and hopefully be a valuable player for the Gold Coast.
A good start, but a long road ahead for Karmichael Hunt
haha thanks dyl! It definitely was a challenge.
Trading Fevola was Carlton's best decision
Thanks midfielder, It was truly touching.
I hope in the not so distant future that homosexual males are fully accepted within not only the footy community, but sport in general.
Aker's comments sadly aren't far from the mark
A couple of media personnel that I have spoken to have said that “women shouldn’t call footy”. But most people in general do believe it’s just Underwood who shouldn’t be calling footy games.
Aker's comments sadly aren't far from the mark
Honestly there is no need for me to say anything else because you are turning this personal. I am not being over defensive just putting my point out there.
We just don’t see eye to eye on the issue and I understand everyone is entitled to their opinion. I’m not degrading your opinion, just responding to it. Sorry if you take it any other way.
Aker's comments sadly aren't far from the mark
I did read what you said, but if you listen I am simply disagreeing with your point of view. But then again according to your statement people on the roar don’t know what they are talking about.
To be honest Luke Darcy has involved himself within the netball culture to understand what goes on. He is also learning from the best with Liz Ellis alongside him. If Luke Darcy is able to provide his opinion after learning from the best, I’m sure women can do that in football.
Aker's comments sadly aren't far from the mark
Soapit Don’t pull out that issue of, because you have never played the game before you shouldn’t commentate on the game. It’s a load of rubbish.
Have you heard Luke Darcey commentate on ONE HD’s Netball coverage alongside Liz Ellis? He has also never played the game before. So does this mean he shouldn’t be commentating?
Aker's comments sadly aren't far from the mark
We did watch the same program Tiger Macca, but I think you are missing the point.
During the documentary there is a huge emphasise on the support Ben Cousins’ family provided him. I would have thought that since the documentary was about Ben, it would have been appropriate that he apologised, looking down the camera as a tribute to his family and seriously thank them for their ongoing support.
I acknowledge that Cousins apologised but a larger emphasise was needed on his apology. As you can see in previous comments but predominantly in opinions within the media, people still believe he is a smug ungrateful drug addict. I think that couldn’t be furthest from the truth but a larger emphasise on the apology would assist in removing that stigma following Ben Cousins.
Cousins doco was slightly disappointing
