Devour everything I can read, watch or go to in regard to the AFL, not interested in any other sports really. Have attended a dozen or so grand finals in my life, none of which I have had to pay to get in. (Work that out yourself). Collingwood tragic and member.

On August 7, 2019, Adam Treloar discussed in a very raw way both his battle with anxiety and love for the club he chose to join from Greater Western Sydney.
The countdown is on for the opening bounce of the 2019 AFL season on 21 March, and to get you warmed up, these are my ladder predictions for the year.
With the 2019 footy season an interminable time away it’s time to ponder the current hot questions of the 2018-2019 off season. We count backwards from twelve.
One of my earliest memories in my life of following the Collingwood footy club involved the 1976 AFL season.
We’ve all heard about how Collingwood’s makeshift defence might impact their September campaign. But it’s actually the performance of the small forward brigade that the Pies will live or die by in the finals.
We’ve all heard the third quarter in a grand final defined as the ‘premiership quarter’, and we don’t need to go back far to find a significant one.
Collingwood surprised many this year with a convincing, some say era-defining 48-point win over Adelaide at their home ground, followed by a 49-point win over the Bombers on Anzac Day.
Isn’t it interesting the way media works? Supporters latch on to a catchphrase, a byline, a supposed “truth” and regurgitate it as fact.
What’s your take on McCarthy Don? Seems he is the only AFL player in Australia who wants to come to Collingwood.
Unfair treatment of Adam Treloar will cripple Collingwood
Ironically McCarthy looks destined for the Pies

A bit like the Pies in slow movement forward
Daniher officially a Lion after Bombers elect not to match offer
Bulldogs or Essendon I’m hearing for big Mason Cox

About the same I believe mate but one year left
Peter Wright is about to become the prettiest girl at the dance
You’ve just sacked your head of footy too though?

Thomas turned me around on him but TBH my opinion of him was based on nothing really but stats. Have hardly seen him play Col.

Of course yes…current status:
North: Gold
Collingwood: Silver
Essendon: Bronze

Rumours of the Bombers being a new home for Mason Cox Rissole. Thoughts?

Are the Bombers or the Pies leading the race for the club most imploding in the off season?

Cox is apparently on at least that Thomas and is supposedly being shopped around along with Treloar, Stephenson, Phillips and Josh Thomas.

Great article Thomas. I had little knowledge of 2 metre tbh and judged him purely in comparison to Mason Cox on stats. I know stats don’t tell the whole story so now you’ve actually won me over so much I hope the Pies take him amidst their salary cap disaster.
Just for context, here are the average career stats for the two giants.
Kicks: Cox 5.1, Wright 7.0
Handballs: Cox 3.4, Wright 4.5
Marks: Cox 4.0, Wright 5.0
Disposals: Cox 8.5, Wright 11.6
Goals: Cox 1.2, Wright 1.3
Hit outs: Cox 6.9, Wright 5.0
Contested Possessions: Cox 5.4, Wright 5.3
Contested marks: Cox 2.1, Wright 1.3
Disposal efficiency: Cox 69.4 %, Wright 73.3%
Age: Cox 29, Wright 24
Based on that Wright would be an upgrade.

Could Craig Kelly challenge Eddie?
Collingwood and Treloar - sorry for the three flags you missed Ads but we seem to have overspent
I think maybe that means the club is after draft picks for Logan McDonald

Robbie he was a pretty young kid when he made the gaffe about the Pies better list. He had just decided on the Pies then.

There was a Pies forum rumour he toured the Tigers yesterday. Could be complete BS though.

He could end up anything Stevo if coached properly

I like that line Jimmy … good work

Sorry George if the August 2019 is wrong, still, recently signed for 5 years regardless.

I would have liked the pies to go for Higgins but it seems all we are doing is clearing players out. Maybe we are going all out for Logan McDonald.
Isaac Smith announces shock move to Geelong
The club deliberated between Aaron Naughton (the key forward they need) and Stephenson and went Stephenson. If they are seriously acknowledging this as a mistake and offloading him and Treloar now…even Eddie might not survive all this.

Its to do with the Treloar pick and Dunkley I believe through Essendon and pick 6

Cant get any confirmation on the Stephenson rumour…Barrett may have pulled this one from his proverbial as he was missing attention due to missing out on the Treloar story.

I blame the coaching if they can’t get Sier going Greg. I’m completely puzzled. If they cut Treloar and Stephenson I’ll struggle to follow footy next year. Will be disillusioned.
