So, who wrote 'em off? There's been lot's of 'sky falling' commentary going around on social media writing them off. Yesterday, they kicked 18.9…
Call me Les if you so please, lament the article I scribe. Your choice does not change this indisputable fact. Collingwood's last bastion of…
So to detract away from Les Zig's warranted criticism, I thought to contribute some warranted praise – where due. And yes it's just about…
And here you are still replying……………..mmmm. 😂
Dear Brian Taylor: it's time to cut your anti-Collingwood bias out
Pffft, couldn’t give a flying Macca, go and argue with yourself.

More broadly, HQ seem to be, or actually are averse to future litigation and are trying to police incidents out of the game.
Of course that attempt is doomed to fail, so then it comes down to, in regard to future litigation “we put in place measures to mitigate concussion”.
Seems adjudication is around action and outcome, rather than intent.
So the game is at an impasse, and for mine can only go one of two ways. Either indemnity or remove contact from the game IF the end game is to remove incidents altogether, that is of course impossible in a contact sport.
Obviously removing contact from the game will spell the death knell for it.
And I suspect HQ has had a look at indemnity and have probably come to the conclusion that some lawyer somewhere will be able to override it, should future litigation (which will happen) arrive.
Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. And I agree Cam there definitely needs to be more transparency from HQ to the fans and other custodians of the game.
Nothing but propaganda: AFL showing pathetic leadership failure on the tackle issue
Ok Macca, just to appease you.
BT is biased toward Collingwood, which I’ve repeatedly stated.
Does this suffice?
Dear Brian Taylor: it's time to cut your anti-Collingwood bias out
Like I said, not disagreeing with you, your beef is with ch7 and fox footy.
Dear Brian Taylor: it's time to cut your anti-Collingwood bias out
Actually like anything else, any law you can think of, any stupid shouldn’t need to be stated instruction is all accommodated for the lowest common denominator (i:e the idiots).
Yeah it’s annoying, still this commentary is not the source of BT’s bias for the Pies as Macca claims
Dear Brian Taylor: it's time to cut your anti-Collingwood bias out
I don’t disagree that BT is biased towards the Pies. Not the point, you claim that because of the ‘pies could be back in it’ commentary that makes him biased.
It’s not this sort of commentary that makes him biased as you claim, he’s instructed, like all commentators to comment this way.
Dear Brian Taylor: it's time to cut your anti-Collingwood bias out
I find this odd considering he’s a West Australian. Have noticed he has bagged Optus stadium, and he def does have favour for the Pies and Tiges – weird.
Dear Brian Taylor: it's time to cut your anti-Collingwood bias out
A little off topic, but what’s worse is being hated for irrelevant stuff like Ed in his role as pres or player discretions.
Would rather be hated for being successful on field, not the cringe bs above. Hopefully finally the club is operating as it should instead of shooting itself in the foot in perpetuity and we finally win some flags and be hated for that!
Dear Brian Taylor: it's time to cut your anti-Collingwood bias out
All commentators admit that they’re instructed to comment on the game as if it is a possibility to still be alive. BT has stated this publicly on MMM.
This isn’t the ‘no he actually is Pies biased, this shouldn’t even be an article’ that you seem to be alluding Macca.
Dear Brian Taylor: it's time to cut your anti-Collingwood bias out
I actually went to the wc game (expat vic), to wc credit they had the game on their terms in the 2nd and 3rd. Kelly and Yeo were monsters in the 3rd term – yeah they literally took away our run. However, with their momentum it looked like a deliberate ploy to slow the pace of the game when we did get ball.
I’d argue we’ve doing that all season A/ when the oppo has momentum and or B/ We can’t hold that pace game in game out season long.
But we managed to get our run game going again, the difference to the dees game was that on Monday we were uber fumbly at attempting those run and carry passages. It wasn’t that we couldn’t get ball and carry passages, we just didn’t execute – an exception rather than the rule.
Not to mention, it was definitely cruel bounce day for us…… sigh.
Footy Fix: Ferocious Demons shut down the Magpie machine at last... but is it repeatable?
We haven’t been playing ‘two quarters’ here and there by accident IMO. It would be impossible to play our game style at its most frantic all game every game.
That’s why we can tempo the play when momentum is not on our terms, I think this is a deliberate ploy.

This is a parody article surely.
Welcome Tasmania, but the AFL should be a 16-team competition so three clubs must go
Hopefully they don’t!
Footy Fix: Lethal Lions unlock the Pies... but it was easier said than done
Maybe a Lil pessimistic but I view that loss as ‘a little off’. But that’s all it takes, a good enough team that is willing to take the risk, every dog and its bowl knows we’re far far from talent laden, a list like the Lions, and the Pies are exposed. Yeah OK bad kicking is bad footy, nonetheless our one wood was taken away, from the 2nd Brisbane beat us at our own game, many other teams will do the same. We’re overrated and think we’ll struggle, 1st 3 rounds a flash in the pan.

Is this a serious comment?
‘The challenge the WA kids is that they’re competing against the best bloodlines in the country – Victorian kids are literally bred to play footy. ‘
I mean really? Sounds like you’re suggesting that where one is geographically born determines your superior or inferior ‘bloodlines’
The reason why Vic is considered (by some) as the superior AF state is because Vic ‘breeds’ more participants – not ‘better’ ones. Just more.
You do realise that headband guy in your avatar is not a Victorian right?
Would this Vic Metro team claim glory if the AFL brought back State of Origin?
Correct! Why is it that there are more teams there? Why is it that the AFL is an extended VFL competition? Why is it that Vic is the biggest market? To give you a hint, Vic has more population than all of the footy heartland states combined (including Tas and NT).
That’s not to say the population is the only factor, but if you ask yourself these questions, therein you’ll find the answer.

As a Pies fan, I say let em wear the bars so long it is not black and white. Simples.
It's time to end the Port Adelaide prison bar debate once and for all
Now you’re clutching at straws looking for something.
Degs is a 26 yo bloke who likes sexually flirting with girls. The girl he was flirting with had her top pulled and didn’t have a problem with it. IF she did then Degs career would already be over, that should’ve been the deciding factor. And that’s the problem with society, coz it may offend someone else of who’s it’s nobodies business – we have to draw and quarter. It’s petulant and infantile.
If you and anyone else wants to yell at clouds over it, knock yourselves out. I’ll enjoy your misery.
Media bullying of Jordan De Goey has been a disgusting witch-hunt
Yes they would’ve, they weren’t there, none of their business. Move on.

He didn’t film any of it, and as far as I know didn’t endorse putting it on social media.

I think all us Pie mob would prefer our club grow a spine instead throwing them under a bus.

‘Peter – I don’t define morals for everyone – society does.’
You make it sound like ‘everyone agree or else’ – yeah it doesn’t work that way. There’s always opposition.
‘FWIW I am not attempting to be the moral police of anyone’
Yes you are.

I don’t recall, have you got a link? I remember Bruzzy saying ‘we’re on top of the ladder for a reason, you better bring your A game’.
I can’t think of any other comment stating ‘we’re the best side ATM’
