No way. Fremantle have a great jumper. Their old jumper was childish, and it had too many colours.

Several clubs need a jumper overhaul, such as Gold Coast, GWS, West Coast, and Hawthorn away jumpers that have cartoon characters on them. I expect Dimma will push to change Gold Coast’s jumpers.

I was very happy to see that they adopted an adult jumper. Some other clubs should follow suit. It’s time do away with cartoon characters, big G’s, and McDonald’s fries box designs. Keep it simple and adult.

Well actually, persisting with a coach who took you to a premiership back in 2018, is living in the past. Hanging onto players who should be in a retirement village is living in the past.

Replacing one lot of arrogant blow hards with another, anchors this club to their born to rule mentality. It’s this mentality that lead to this clubs downfall (read: too good for COVID hubs, the kings of the west fantasy, Simpson’s pro private school elitism, whoever dons the blue and yellow is a champion etc etc etc).

Well actually The Eagles won the 1992 premiership. I thought you would have known that. That’s why I said it’s not 1992 anymore because your team is stuck in the past. I should not have to explain this.

Kane Cornes quite rightly pointed out that the time for congratulating West Coast for being competitive is well and truly over. This is a competitive competition and being competitive is a minimum standard.

Homer Simpson needs to be shown the door. This club is an embarrassment to the competition. The rot began in 2020 when they cried about the hubs, and it continues to this day. Simpson has lost the players.

Harley Reid’s development will be impeded if this club gets belted week in week out. Don’t be surprised if he does a Horne-Francis.

Enough is enough! It’s not 1992 anymore West Coast.

In all seriousness PTS, I don’t think the hangover will last. The Pies will bounce back. As an Aquarius I can’t help but stir the pot. It’s all brickbats and no bouquets in my world. Secretly I was happy for you and other Pies fans that I know.

You have played 2 teams that will be contenders this year. We won’t really know how the season will pan out at the moment.

Footy Fix: Don't panic just yet, Pies fans... but there's now a blueprint to bring the premiers down

Like a hipster from Brighton, who has decided to get tanked on Saturday night on the other side of town. club Collingwood find themselves lying face down on the corner of Hopkins and Leeds Street, in a puddle of spew, on hangover Sunday.

That’s one hell of a hangover!

Footy Fix: Don't panic just yet, Pies fans... but there's now a blueprint to bring the premiers down

The Gold Coast did what I told them to do. Hardwick has freed them up. Dew was an albatross around their necks. I expect the Suns will make the 8.

Well actually, I would rather be Richmond, because more often than not, when we get to grand finals we win them.

Carlton and Essendon have also won 16 premierships, yet their strike rate is far superior. It pains me to say it, but credit where credit is due.

Squandered opportunities are precisely that. What’s the point of playing in 45 grand finals if you have only managed to win 16 of them? One of those was won because of the challenge system. You are better off being the Bulldogs with a strike rate of 2 from 3.

If Collingwood fail to win more than one premiership in the next three years, they have failed. Great clubs create dynasties, just like Richmond of 2017, 2019, and 2020.

I believe that Collingwood will be a flash in the pan club like Melbourne. If Collingwood fail to reign in their arrogant born to rule attitude, they are in serious danger of missing out on a top 8 finish.

Right now all I am seeing is a club that is seriously hung over, not unlike some hipster on a Sunday.

It’s no longer hangover Sunday Collingwood. Monday morning has rolled around, and it’s time to get back to work.

Cox’s stunt sums up Collingwood’s hubris.

While Richmond are getting down to business with their rebuild, by removing premiership photos, Collingwood are producing arrogant documentaries.

The Pies think back to back is a given, but their arrogant born to rule mentality will trip them up again.

Collingwood have an abysmal grand final strike rate, and this is due to their superiority complex. 16 premierships from 45 grand finals is nothing to crow about. In fact it screams failure. No club should be proud of such a pathetic statistic.

It was a great win by the Tigers today. We made a statement that we are a serious contender. Greiser is an excellent edition to our list. It’s fitting that she kicked the winning goal. Egan was solid in defence, and Conti was at her brilliant best.

The sun is shining at Gold Coast, now that the big grey cloud has cleared. Hardwick will make this club relevant.

Yes, but the point is he has lifted since Dew’s sacking. The right decision was made, and finally this club may become relevant.

Dew never got King to tag. King took Andrews to the cleaners.

King was horribly out of form under Dew, now he has been told to play like a defender and it has worked. Dew never thought outside the square.

Gold Coast’s decision to sack Dew has been vindicated. Flanders is flourishing under King. Dew did not believe he had the talent. The players are enjoying their new found freedom as the weight of Dew has been lifted. They are also auditioning for Hardwick.

They should have set up a Tasmanian team instead of the Gold Coast.

Tasmania.

Their management is joke. A mix of Toffee noses, the white shoe brigade, and born agains.

Collingwood couldn’t even buy themselves a flag.

Look up his background. He is from a pastoralist family that have benefited from the dispossession of Indigenous people.

The Gold Coast was the wrong location. Sporting clubs can’t survive there. There was no reason to put a club there in the first place.

Gil is worse than a cashed up bogan. He’s old money and a mate of Mr Potato Head.

The decision to remove Dew was long overdue. His coaching record was abysmal. Hardwick will bring a winning culture to this club. Finally this club might be taken seriously, after years of abject failure. Caro is owed a big apology.

They got hammered by a bottom 4 club who couldn’t kick more than 8 games.
