A good low finish is definitely what we need, to recapture that early season form. See it happening now? Hmm. Yes! No Tarrant + No Rocca = No Goals = No win v. Melbourne! And then we have Sydney IN Sydney. Hawthawn who always beat us at least once a year[lets hope it's hear and not at the draft] Then we have Geelong who play very well against us! Then we have Brisbane! Nuff said! The dream is alive! Go Hawthawn! I wouldn't mind an all out brall against Sydney and/or Brisbane and/or Essendon occuring just for the hell of it. Geez that was good. The Pee and Poo picked a good team to "gain respect" from. hahahaha. BTW? Trading Fraser? Your opinion? Would you accept it? For the first time EVER, I heard you comment on Josh in a negative light when he dropped a mark on the HFF at the otherside of the ground in Q4. I was shocked to say the least.

Yes! No Tarrant + No Rocca = No Goals = No win v. Melbourne! Probably right. Notwithstanding some serious wood over Melbourne. Breaking News: Two weeks for Taz. HHhhinteresting. And then we have Sydney IN Sydney. Check. Hawthawn who always beat us at least once a year[lets hope it's hear and not at the draft] Check (hopefully). Then we have Geelong who play very well against us! Check. Then we have Brisbane! Nuff said! The dream is alive! Go Hawthawn! Check. Thanks man. Feeling better now. I wouldn't mind an all out brall against Sydney and/or Brisbane and/or Essendon occuring just for the hell of it. Geez that was good. The Pee and Poo picked a good team to "gain respect" from. hahahaha. Agreed. Top stuff. BTW? Trading Fraser? Your opinion? Would you accept it? Possibly. Depends what it would achieve. For the first time EVER, I heard you comment on Josh in a negative light when he dropped a mark on the HFF at the otherside of the ground in Q4. I was shocked to say the least. Get your hand off it dude. Point the First: I hardly think 'oh, come on Frase' or whatever the hell I said, constitutes a: comment on Josh in a negative light Point the Second: I hold back admonition for no member of the Collingwood Football Club, least of all a player of whom I have very high expectations (ie. our Josh). Take note.

Probably right. Notwithstanding some serious wood over Melbourne. Disregard the wood this year. It is ripening for the next few years. Breaking News: Two weeks for Taz. HHhhinteresting. I'm excited! Of the little chance we had, it now become no chance! Thanks man. Feeling better now. Anytime! Possibly. Depends what it would achieve. If it means a top 10 pick?? Get your hand off it dude. Point the First: I hardly think 'oh, come on Frase' or whatever the hell I said, constitutes a: It was damning and shocking at the same time! Frankly I am sickened by this one and only time when you have exuded any form of negativity at one of our players. It was utterly disgusting. I shall not have anymore negativity around me when I go to the footy. Let this be a warning Harley. [;DJ ;DO ;DK ;DI ;DN ;DG;D] Point the Second: I hold back admonition for no member of the Collingwood Football Club, least of all a player of whom I have very high expectations (ie. our Josh). Sure........... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Disregard the wood this year. It is ripening for the next few years. True. In this situation wood probably counts for little. I'm excited! Of the little chance we had, it now become no chance! Good to hear. If it means a top 10 pick?? The man is a No. 1 pick. What say you? Blah blah blah blah blah I shall not have anymore negativity around me when I go to the footy. Well then I wouldn't go near a Collingwood game for the rest of the year. Also, ;D ;D ;D

The man is a No. 1 pick. What say you? The man is performing like a pick No. 30 and is being upstaged by a player who was playing in Williamstowns reserve team last year. A top 8ish pick would do me well. Your opinion miestro? Methinks Hawthawn would bite. Although I'll have a closer look at him V. Melbourne when he will be in a key role.

True. A victim of the scourge that is unfulfilled potential. I still like him. If we can con some club into a good deal then all will be well. I can always find another favourite (I'm pretty flaky with these kinds of things anyway; long as they contribute to the cause they're fine with me).
Hawthorn minus vandenberg, brown, picioane, crawford and whoever the hell else they've got out, rd 14. Should be interesting.

I can always find another favourite (I'm pretty flaky with these kinds of things anyway; long as they contribute to the cause they're fine with me). Even if he gets traded, I'll still be a fan of him, ala Williams, Scotland and Adkins. Heck I don't mind Davis! Hawthorn minus vandenberg, brown, picioane, crawford and whoever the hell else they've got out, rd 14. Should be interesting. I'll stick to my guns and say we'll loose. I might put some $$$ on it. Should gather the Hawthawn gang for that game too.

Disregard the wood this year. It is ripening for the next few years. Rain could very well ripen the wood for on Monday. It is rain dependant.

Sorry about the absence. Hope you had fun talking to yourself ;D A recent trip to the library at which I stocked up on a pile of Ben Elton books, has kept me occupied.
Aaanyway, due to your profuse posting during that period, I'll respond to your posts individually. Here goes...
Reply #36 I too wish Willo well. I would do so for Adkins too, if I ever saw the man play. It pains me to wish anyone who plays for Carlton well, but i did like Scotto. As for Davis, I still don't like him, but it appears homesickness is a force growing more powerful by the minute.
Re Hawks game: Sounds like a good idea to me.
Reply #37 Not sure what you mean by that.
After last weeks performance v freo, one would think the dees wouldn't mind the rain.
Please clarify.
Reply #38 Damn you must have been bored ;D
No arguments here, but...
Methought finals were out of the equation.
How was the match?
Portugal = Port Adelaide?
Reply #39 That's pretty precise; %ages and all.
Likelihood?
Reply #40
BWA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAH!

RE: Davis. Why? Just wondering dude. Reply #37Not sure what you mean by that. After last weeks performance v freo, one would think the dees wouldn't mind the rain. Please clarify. Collingwood are the best wet weather football team in the competition bar-none. If everygame we played was in the wet, we would win the GF. Notice at ANZAC day how we got on a roll as soon as it started raining and was wet there after. The drainage system then kicked in to good effect and then............. It was the same against Melbourne. Exactly the same. Reply #38Damn you must have been bored ;D No arguments here, but... Methought finals were out of the equation. Strangley enough, even after the Melbourne loss. I still believe we can make the finals. Methinks that we were always setting up for a huuuuge second half of the season ala last year, which could be a reason for us starting poorly and finishing poorly for most matches(Conditioning). MUST win v. Sydney though. How was the match? Portugal = Port Adelaide? We will see after they play Russia but that could very well be a class call there Harley. Reply #39That's pretty precise; %ages and all. Likelihood? We will see! Reply #40BWA-HA-HA-HA-HAAAAAAH! My sentiments exactly.

RE: Davis. Why? Just wondering dude. Ah, I don't know, it just seemed that the split was rather acrimonious at the time. I'll heal. Eventually. Collingwood are the best wet weather football team in the competition bar-none. If everygame we played was in the wet, we would win the GF. Notice at ANZAC day how we got on a roll as soon as it started raining and was wet there after. The drainage system then kicked in to good effect and then............. It was the same against Melbourne. Exactly the same. True dat. (see also Anzac Day '02) McGough came to life in the wet (see above ;D) Strangley enough, even after the Melbourne loss. I still believe we can make the finals. It was a good effort. Without Taz and Rocca, it looks like we ain't too far away. And Melbourne is a good team (the wood very nearly got us over the line though). Methinks that we were always setting up for a huuuuge second half of the season ala last year, which could be a reason for us starting poorly and finishing poorly for most matches(Conditioning). Well we sure have it all to do. 'Twould have to be one hell of a second half (Geelong, Freo in Perth, Brisbane) MUST win v. Sydney though. Got that right. We will see after they play Russia but that could very well be a class call there Harley. I am honoured. PS watching miriam now. Fark is that an awful show. PPS Ben Elton = Genius

Yeah, who would have tipped us to be so close to a win with our 2 key talls out. Well we sure have it all to do. 'Twould have to be one hell of a second half (Geelong, Freo in Perth, Brisbane) Could very wel win v. Geelong. Tey play @ Subi the week before. Winning v. Brisbane would not surprise me one bit. We won't win @ Subi though. I'm still hoping like hell that we lose v, Swans which will get the ball rolling on a loosing streak. There is some good stuff at the top end of the draft this year.
