Ch 7 said he still will but I wonder if Dane Swan will play this week after getting bashed at a nightclub.
CH 7 have reported that Dane Swan was out celebrating at the EVE nightclub when a coward hit him in an unprovoked attack last night.
Swan had 2 teeth knocked out, and was bleeding, but it was stated he will play this week.
http://www.magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.php?t=57435
The guy who owns Eve, Nick Russian, went to primary school & grew up with me in Ivanhoe, good family friends. The guy who hit him was a St. Kilda supporter.

Losing his front teeth is just a stunt to endear himself to the Collingwood supporters.

Some gutless meatheads out there these days.

It didn't take long for the first toothless/Collingwood joke ;D

Even though that was a gutless act wasn't Swan breaking team rules?

Apparantly not - there were others with him ;D

Nah he didn't accept a lift home from a known crim nor crash his car and then lie about it to the Prez ;D

Happy to be back being the underdog

More like from $4.25 to $7
Pies are flying

Surprised Jake King hasn't been suspended for the Swan bashing.
No footage of the incident, King GUILTY!!

whos going to replace Cotch any way?

Tuck will come into the midfield with Polo playing in the backline/midfield rotations. Would love to see Gourdis get a call up releasing Lids but I doubt this will happen given the value of Lids desposal and run from HB.
I have a terrible feeling about this game :help
Stripes

Me too Stripes.
This all feels very 1994ish....After winning 6 in a row we lost the last two games by a combined 190 pts.

swan may be inked up, but from what i have been told he is as soft as fairy floss, maybe he wasnt king hit just bashed cos he is a tool
from what i have been told he could fight off a disabled granny
just cos he has ink, does not make him tough

Not surprisingly the AFL site is tipping us to get pumped this week.
WHO WILL WIN AND WHY?
As good as the Tigers have been over the past six weeks, they simply aren’t anywhere near Collingwood in terms of talent. They may be able to muster a challenge for a quarter or two, but the Pies’ intensity and pressure will wear them down.
One feels Richmond needs a bag from Riewoldt, Ben Cousins back in his prime and its other stars having ball-bursters to be any chance.
The great thing about Mick Malthouse’s side is it doesn’t rely on a big game from any one person, The Pies are just so even, sharing their goal kickers and covering for each other in defence.
PREDICTION
Collingwood by 45 points.

Me too, especially with Cotch and Jackson out of the midfield. We don't have much to replace them with yet.

Tigers' 'system' can beat Magpies
richmondfc.com.au
By Ben Broad
Thu 22 July, 2010
RICHMOND coach Damien Hardwick hopes the challenge of taking on the AFL's hottest side will spur his team on to its best win of the year.
The Tigers meet Collingwood at the MCG on Saturday, and Hardwick has declared the Pies the team to beat in 2010.
Despite his lofty rating of this week's opposition, Hardwick said Richmond could upset the ladder leader.
"We play a system of football that we actually think gives ourselves a chance," Hardwick said from training at Punt Rd on Thursday.
"That system broke down last week ... talent alone is not going to get you over the line.
"There are a lot of things that go into a game of football these days, so from our point of view we give ourselves a fair chance."

The Kangaroos had done their homework on our zones and transitions last week, and were very effective in "mini-zoning" our switch transitions and exploiting any holes in our zone. We were a little slow both in forward and defensive transition, and left ourselves exposed to fast attacking transitions in numbers. We are still young and learning, so there were quite a few occasions where our players were still unsure of whether to man up or fall into a zone to protect dangerous space.
The Pies will have done this homework too, so we will need to be much better in transition (both ways) and we'll need to tweak the switches — make them less predictable and perhaps go to players other than Newman and Connors to rebound from defensive 50. Pretty sure you will see a hard tag on Newman and Connors in our back half, forcing us to use a lesser kicker to rebound. Will be interesting to see how it pans out, but we will get pumped if we are a only a bit off our game.
-
We could be back on the bottom after this round.
The Eagles have a winnable game against the Bluebaggers at Subiaco. They have a better percentage as well, so any kind of win and a loss from us and we're back in pick 4 territory.

Bookie odds (Luxbet.com)
Richmond $6.35
Coll'wood $1.12
Line at 39.5 points.
No surprise no one has tipped us except for the Scottish Terrier :P

I'm not expecting a win at all, but I think Jack Riewoldt might light it up tomorrow on the big stage.

Pies skipper expecting no repeat of Tiger tactics
The Age
July 24, 2010
Collingwood skipper Nick Maxwell is not expecting any repeat of Richmond's controversial tactics when the teams meet at the MCG on Saturday.
After last year's fiery clash Maxwell accused the Tigers of playing the man instead of the ball and said their approach was "pretty average" in Collingwood's 93-point win.
The ladder-leading captain, in his first match back after a six-week stint on the sidelines due a calf injury, said he expected it to be a completely different affair against resurgent Richmond.
Advertisement: Story continues below
"We were frustrated at that stage ... that a lot of our guys were put in situations where they could have been suspended before finals," he said.
"Obviously now it's a lot earlier in the season, Richmond are a completely different team, they're just showing so much potential and won five out of their last (seven) so it's going to be a tough game.
"We understand exactly where they're at so we're going to have to switch on."
Maxwell only missed four games due to the split round and his return comes at just the right time for the Magpies, with fellow backman Heath Shaw ruled out with a back complaint.
"It's 100 per cent now, I wouldn't play otherwise," he said, adding he believed Shaw would only miss a week.
"As you can see his form has been sensational so it it hasn't really bothered him too much, it was a good opportunity to replace a defender with another defender."
While sidelined Maxwell has watched his side surge to the top of the AFL ladder, last week knocking over fellow contender St Kilda in convincing style.
"I'm very proud of them, they've done very well but now we've just got to keep that up and make sure we take that into September and keep the form up."
Maxwell said the job of marking Coleman Medal leader Jack Riewoldt would be given to veteran Simon Prestigiacomo, and the team had done their homework as they prepare to stop him.
"Presti always plays on the best players and Jack's shown this year that he's one of the best players," he said.
"We've put a bit of time into him because he is so good, he can do everything, take a contested mark, gets on the lead, he's going to be a tough match-up for Presti but also we'd expect Ben Reid will help him out at some stage."
While the two clubs are at opposite ends of the ladder, with Richmond back in 15th, Maxwell was understandably wary after their recent improvement in form.
"They've beaten contenders like Fremantle so we've got to make sure that we're right on our game.
"We've got great respect for Richmond, you can see in a few years they're going to be bloody hard, they're going to right up there."

Out of interest there's just 13 survivors from last year's round 20 clash and it could have been less if Polo, Rance and Morton weren't brought back in this week.
Cousins, Deledio, Edwards, Graham, King, McGuane, Morton, Nahas, Newman, Polo, Rance, Riewoldt, Tuck
Out: Bowden, Brown, Coughlan, Hislop, Jackson, McMahon, Tambling, Thursfield, Vickery
In: Astbury, Browne, Collins, Connors, Farmer, Martin, Nason, Post, Webberley

Yes, and I'm sure that Mighty Tigers is absolutely salivating at this prospect ???

And the only one we would really miss from that group is Jackson.
-
Would have loved the Goo to have gotten the defensive forward roll on O'Brien, has the perfect attributes to stop his run out of our forward line
-
just cos he has ink, does not make him tough
LMAO @ Ink men.
-
Is that a chick commentating or Anthony Hudson?
-
Got to protect those magpies umps ::)
Tuck is on Swan
Leigh Brown is a hack :lol
Bugger another dud in McCaffer goals. Poor kick by Jack in the middle of the ground :-\
0 - 7
-
We can't get our hands on the footy which isn't unexpected with our reserves midfield :P
Hooray we got a free. Nahas too high. 45m out. Point
R 1
C 7
-
Could get messy here.
-
Yep Jake. Could be 100 points again the way we've started.
Got caught out by the set play from the long kick down the guts from the kick-in :scream
1 - 13
Another free to Collingwood ::)
-
When a dud like McCaffer pulls a goal like that you know you're in trouble. Getting smashed in the contested footy. We can't get the ball :help
-
Game over already. Back to the first 6 rounds :help
1 - 25
-
I know we've been awful for years, but we seem to have especially bad 1st quarters. Even when we've been in good form e.g. 2001 whenever we've had a big game we capitulate in the first qtr.
-
Good switch of play by Connors. Webbs finds Jack. Shocker of a kick didn't make the distance :P.
-
Only another 90 mins of this :)
-

The Pies have come to play. They know a big first quarter would blow us away with all our outs and being a young inexperienced side and they can coast for the rest of the game. It's men against boys.
-
Only another 90 mins of this :)
What fun :rollin
Collo earns the free and goals :clapping
7 - 31
Comeback on :lol
-
Connors and Newy are playing well. Connors finds Polo who finds Kingy. Point. Bad enough we're losing without missing our chances.
8 - 31
-
Well we're doing better than brisbane against Geelong ;D
-
If Jack kicks 7 today he'll equal his cousin's best effort in regular season.
-
Great hard running by Cuz. Downfree free to Jack. Goal :gotigers
14 - 31
A bit more respectable. Dimma's put extra men behind the ball and it's working so far. Not giving the Pies esy entries forward/
-
Was just gonna give Rance a wrap...
-
We had it forward but Farmer couldn't find Jack and a too easy rebound for the Pies for a goal :scream.
14 - 37
-
Quarter time
Rich 2.2-14
Coll 6.1-37
Goals: Riewoldt, Collins
-
Connors hasn't played much footy this year but you can see the main thing holding him back is his engine. Needs a massive off-season
-
Possies
Edwards 8 (7 handballs)
Collo 7
Cuz 6
Morton 6
Tuck 5
King 5
Lids just 1 kick :-\
Newy has just 2 kicks but his desperation and spoiling was good for mine.
-
Connors only had his first real preseason so yeah he needs 2-3 more.
Lids finds Jack on the lead but Jack misses :P
15 - 37
-
Wellingham incorrect disposal and didn't get pinged
-
Umps got to protect those magpies Jake :whistle
We're getting killed by their rebounding out of our forward line. It's like we don't exist.
MaCaffer's got 3 ::)
15 - 43
-
Brendon Lade needs to do some serious work with our rucks understanding the rules. This week and last.
-
Might go see a movie..
Anyone seen Inception?
-
Leonardo fan Jake? ;D
All 3 Pies goals from turnovers this quarter :P
-
Brendon Lade needs to do some serious work with our rucks understanding the rules. This week and last.
10 years experience between each of ours and Jolly says it all
-

All well and good but I was hoping it would be a priority after getting done for blocking a few times last week.
-
time to go the biff Kingy
-
Looking like a 100 point pumping again :help
LOL Jake :lol. Yep it was this time and scoreline last time it all started
We've got no crumbers up forward. If Jack doesn't mark it it's all Pies.
-
Morton goes for home from 52m (point) when Jack was 10m clear. Jack blasts him.
Cuz gets a lerking goal to make up for it.
22 - 68
-
There are so many poor sides this year. IMO that's why the tv ratings are down. Too many one sided games.
Lids use your feet for gawds sake :scream
-
LOL Gus luckily paid the mark. Goal :gotigers
28 - 69
-
Half-time
Rich 2.2 4.4-28
Coll 6.1 11.3-69
Goals: Riewoldt, Collins, Cousins, Graham
A repeat of the first quarter. 5 straight goals to the Pies and them for the first 15 mins and then we have a small fightback in the last 10 mins.
Just 19 inside 50s :P
-
stuff i hate rance
-
Just 19 inside 50s :P
Would be interested to know how many times we've entered our own defensive 50.
Not much we can do really but chip it back and across and eventually bang it up the wing... Pies as expected smashing us in the middle.
-
To make today interesting I'm going to pretend we are playing the lions.
Richmond 4.4.28 Brisbane 4.6.30 Cmon boys
Collingwood beating Geelong by 5 in the other one
-
Possies
Edwards 14 (11 handballs) .... two turnovers by hand which resulted in Pie goals.
Tuck 12
Morton 12
Webbs 11 ..... he's been useful and been running hard
Cuz 10
King 10
Astbury 10
Lids 9
Newy 8
Collo 8
Martin 8
Farmer 8
Lids, Newy and Dusty been well held. As has Jack. 5 kicks and 1.1 plus one of the side of the boot that didn't make the distance.
-
Collingwood 69
Coburg 28
-

;D
Go Eagles so we get pick 4 ;).
We've gone backwards because we've got most of the side behind the ball to try and plug the dam wall.
WP must be loving Postie's game lol. Zero kicks, zero marks!
-
Hitouts
Jolly 12
Gus 11
So Gus is actually getting his hand to it but we are still getting smashed.
-
Does Collingwood now get rewarded with 70m penalties? ::)
-
WP must be loving Postie's game lol. Zero kicks, zero marks!

Nice skills out of defence and once clear Cuz gets it to Jack who finds Collo in the pocket. Point.
Only one point behind Brissy ;D
29 - 82
-
Connors free on the boundary. OOTF :P
I know we are getting thrashed but our shooting for goal today has been shocking.
-
Only one point behind Brissy ;D
Its 1-0 to us this quarter
-
Collingwood 85
Witches Hats 29
-
I would say Vickery will come back in for Browne if he Ty has a decent game for Coburg tomorrow. The only reason browne will stay in is if Dimma wants to give him a few games no matter what.
-
lets be honest how good did Didak think of himself after he got that goal.
what a wa*ka
-
Collingwood 85
Witches Hats 29
Witches hats are insulted lol
This is just a reality check showing how far we really are away. We're a bottom 8 side with our best 22 on the park so missing our 3 best mids only compounds are deficiences especially against a top 3 side like the Pies.
11 Collingwood goals from our turnovers says it all. Any time we take a risk going into the corridor (as we should) if the kick/ handball is off a touch we are getting punished.
Nice goal from Jack :gotigers
35 - 98
-
lets be honest how good did Didak think of himself after he got that goal.
what a wa*ka
Easy to celebrate as frontrunners against bottom sides. Let's see if he is in September when the Pies go missing as usual.
Cuz point. Almost a speccie from jack. Just could'nt hold on.
36 - 99
-
Here's the comeback ;D
Dusty bounces through a goal :gotigers
We're in front of brissy Jake ;D
42 - 99
-
Jack point. At least we're attacking now.
43 - 99
-
Just deplorable today.
Nahas. Polo. Morton. Post. Browne. => What role are these guys playing?
Griffiths important for our future, without another big decent tall we have no structure. People calling for a midfielder in the draft, Id rather we get Gorringe and get another forward. No coincidence we were winning games with Griffiths in IMHO.
Rance has improved his kicking and is in front of the likes of Post now by a long way.
Hardwick coaching performance today has been poor, mind you the pies are bigger, stronger and quicker and more skilled, but at least keep in place a ff, a chf and a couple of hffs like Collins in the forward line and keep your wings in place with a couple of blokes in the middle, when the ball comes out of defence, at least we have somewhere to go! Or is this wrong?
Todays flogging is a good thing for us, we are long way of the best sides, decisions need to made on alot of players still.
-
Morton to Nason but instead of going for goal he goes for the pass to no one ???
3/4 time

Morton's been good I've though
-
we miss tambling ;D
-
havent been following the game over the last 30 or so minutes. Tuned out of it. Looking forward to next week, If Morton has improved in the last half hour or so then thats a good thing, the rest arent up to it. We are wasting our time with the rest of them I listed.

Dimma's hands are tied. Cattle nowhere near good enough as we knew before the game started.
Nahas, Polo gone at the end of the year.
Morton is playing wing/link player. Highest possie getter for us today. I thought he's been alright.
Agree Ramps this reality check is good for us. Thank god we are still bottom 2 as far as the draft goes.
-
Reckon Rance has been pretty good on his return.
Not too many other positives and quite a few blokes gone backwards today.
-
Lids has been very ordinary today especially defensively. Dimma is right to give Lids a huge spray.
-
Collo with a bad corky. Great another injury :-\
Connors on the run from 50m OOTF :P
-
Reckon Rance has been pretty good on his return.

agree with jake here!
-
Connors on the run from 50m OOTF :P
Been terrible today. Defensively lazy, work rate not good enough, poor discipline giving away a 50 and let us down going forwards a couple of times.
-
Nice one Dusty. Put duckeggs down :lol
70 points down now :P
-
Kingy KOed Browne although he's been able to walk off. Kingy you're meant ot target the ones in B&W.
-
Neon Leon getting his usual bag against bottom sides before going missing in the finals ::)
-
Browne okay and back on at FF.
-
Question: Which maggot do u want to see crying whilst Geelong celebrate after the GF?
a. Alan Didak
b. Nick Maxwell
c. Dane Swan
d. other?
-
66k at the 'G today. Would've had 15k more if we had won last week and had close to our best 22 on the park.
Browne's first kick in AFL footy just then. Point.
44 - 121

e. All of the above.
Can't stand the frontrunning pretenders :banghead.
-
all of em. I hope Geelong flogs these bastards in the GF.
-
I know we haven't any other forward options but Jack's been a touch selfish today taking low percentage Coleman medal potshots from the boundary. Siren goes as Dimma dragged him.
Tuck kicks a point. Siren.
Final Score
Rich 2.2 4.4 6.7 6.9-45
Coll 6.1 11.3 15.10 19.13-127

CAN SOMEONE SACK
TUCK!
If he kicks the goal and not the point, the pies win by 77 and I get back my crown in the tipping competition in here. GET HIM OUT OF PUNT RD!
-
Nahas, Polo gone at the end of the year.
Yep, not a chance in hell of these 2 staying. Given one of their last ever chances they were terrible today, both of them.

Pretty good post this Ramps.
I think we'll all find that this lost was good for the long term. We don't want to over achieve and the honeymoon period on players that had a really good period mid year is now over so we can see both sides of form.
Need to get games into players that are a bit unknown to make decisions. Nahas is gone, I'd rather see Richie play than Nahas. Polo is done for good, too slow physically but more so mentally just takes for ever to make decisions and looks slow.
Thought Rance was the best of the inclusions the rest hopefully will get to play more games so we get as much exposure of them to the AFL to analyse their worth.
-
Lets just face it ...Collingwood have been a far superior team today.Plus with all our suspensions and injuries it could not of been a worse time to play the top team.
Just a very painful Saturday.Not only did the tigers get spanked...had to endure the commentary of Kelli Underwood.
Of the six inclusions, Mitch Morton was clearly the best.
-
so it seems that people were happy with Morton and Rance? The rest of the inclusions seem not up to it to me! You can put a line through afew out there after todays effort.

Nahas, Polo gone at the end of the year.
Yep, not a chance in hell of these 2 staying. Given one of their last ever chances they were terrible today, both of them.
We'll need to find a trade for Nahas or pay him out, no?
Yeah, didn't think of that when I posted Jake. Was just very disappointed with Nahas and Polo today, thought their games were woeful and signed the death warrants of their respective careers. Nahas is going to see a lot of Coburg next year unless he gets traded and I think that highly unlikely. Of the rest today, I thought Rance and Morton were maybe ok but Morton still needs to do a fair bit of work on his defensive side if he wants to become part of the best 22. Browne needs a couple of weeks to give him a chance to adapt to the pace, Post needs to go back to Coburg until he shows some form, Nahas and Polo never to return.

Question: Which maggot do u want to see crying whilst Geelong celebrate after the GF?
a. Alan Didak
b. Nick Maxwell
c. Dane Swan
d. other?
E. ALL of the above
-
I dont see the harm in playing Rance for the rest of the year...needs a decent block of games.
Mitch had the most disposals for Richmond today.
WE NEED A FIT NATHAN FOLEY IN 2011. :pray :pray :pray

I'd prefer the filth to lose their preliminary final by a point to a reversed free on the end of an interchange infraction. Would make the whole summer of waiting worthwhile.

They will win the Flag I am sorry to say

so it seems that people were happy with Morton and Rance? The rest of the inclusions seem not up to it to me! You can put a line through afew out there after todays effort.
Nahas and Polo have a line through them. They're not going to get any better.
Post and Browne still have upside given their age and size but should go back to Coburg given they contributed nothing today. Mind you interesting if Hardwick gives them another game for the sake of playing and accessing the whole list and where it is at.

are you suggesting that Nahas is contracted for another year? Please tell me your joking. I cant bear to watch him anymore.
Seriously watching him play is like listening to Kellie Underwood. We are kidding ourselves playing him in our team.
-

Given their post-1960 history I'll won't believe it until I see a cup in their hands. They were in this form and got the same result against us this time last year yet flopped when it mattered in finals. Geelong still have the class across the park.

Nahas received a 2-year deal at the end of last year.

Geelong have the better side no doubt. Thing with the pies is that unlike other years they can pile on the goals very quickly. They could blow away a game with a good quarter.
That said it looks like the most even competition in years with Hawthorn flying home and St Kilda thereabouts.

Yep I agree Jake it's down to those 4. The doggies could've been the fifth but they seem in disarray at the minute over the Aker sacking. Daylight to the rest.
Interesting that in terms of average games per player Collingwood today was at 110 and we just had 55. Almost half our side hasn't played more than 24 games each. The Pies had 10 players with 100+ games of experience. All up that's a massive gap in experience.
-
Lets just face it ...Collingwood have been a far superior team today.Plus with all our suspensions and injuries it could not of been a worse time to play the top team.
Just a very painful Saturday.Not only did the tigers get spanked...had to endure the commentary of Kelli Underwood.
Of the six inclusions, Mitch Morton was clearly the best.
Kelli Underwood. Is there anything worse.
She's pathetic. She sounds like she's holding her nose..
shes unlistenable. one of the reasons I stopped watching mind you our performance didnt help.
Facebook have a few pages on her.

How about we just let the coaching staff work with these players. Wallace & his coaching staff damaged most of the players ability & mentally crushed them. Unrest at the club & no confidence is good for no-ones moral.
Bad coaching cant be fixed in 1 season. New staff have got to see what they can do with what players they have inherited & then what players they draft to fit into place. What the club requires to build a solid performing side. Then get them to learn the new coaches game plans & thier roles on field. It dont happen over pre-season & it certainly dont happen in the coaches 1st season at the club.
Its up to the players to decide their own fate & all players have already been told to perform for thier future.
everyone knew we were not upto beating or putting in a solid performance against a team that is a serious contender for the flag & sits clear on top of the ladder being the inform side.
Dane Swan has the Brownlow medal already stamped, put your money on it.
l will sit back & watch who really wants to be in a Richmond jumper. l'm seeing improvement in players who l thought under Wallace were shocking & weak, Have seen huge inprovements in 9 months.
So there is some hope for a few others under Hardwick. Time will tell but things have changed. :thumbsup :gotigers

Jack they won't be premiers because the 2010 Grand Final is in September and they haven't won one in September since 1958.
One premiership in 51 years might make them hungry, and they are playing good footy, but the footy gods still employ Collywobbles in September.
Once Grand Finals start to occur in October it might be a different matter.

Knew we were going to struggle. What I took out of the game is as follows. King, Morton and Rance had good games. King deserves to retain his spot in the team until season's end. Rance tackled well and his disposal was good. Deserves to retain his place for next week as does Morton who tried hard and took some good marks. Astbury was good. Polo is not going to make it as a footballer and should be delisted. Nahas is getting bumped off the ball too easily. His future is in the balance. Missed Will and Moore badly. McGuane played a very poor game. Not sure about Browne. Our ruck division was comprehensively beaten. We were too slow getting it into the forward line and our disposal was very poor. for next week bring in Hicks, Taylor and Gourdis. Drop McGuane, Polo and Nahas

Scores from turnovers yesterday
Coll 14.10
Rich 4.6
:-\
-
can someone explain why we didnt go man on man yesterday after doing it for the most part of the last month.
so many players with so much time and space all over the park particluary forward of centre.
Didak in particular. Davis :banghead :banghead cant stand watching players like Davis run into form whrn they have been playing rubbish.
-
yep, your right Daniel. thats the reason Rance had so many possesions.
23 ,18 un contested as he stood 20 metres away from his opponent and then ran further away when we gained possesion
-
how players like Davis and Brown can kick goals at ease within 20 metres from goal was a joke.
I know he is trying different things with zones and things like that but FFS we should've rolled the dice and played man on man. Then we can truly see who has the talent to beat your man and who hasn't.
Cheap uncontested kicks means nothing if your direct opponent is kicking and creating goals

Clearly going back to development and experimentation mode, was commented on by Browny on the Sunday Footy Show also
-
i dont think we can read to much into this game. We had a few our of future players out which didnt help and our body size's compared to collingwoods is like playing boys against men and when any team let alone us has an off day against collingwood there going to be put away like the saints was last week.

Wont get near him, will miss out on too many votes early in the season

WP must be loving Postie's game lol. Zero kicks, zero marks!
No comment ;D
Actually this is my comment - the way he played yesterday was exactly how he has been playing for Coburg, hence why I said it was wrong that he got selected...
But would be interested in other's views

not saying this is the case but maybe as in some players they thought being in a better comp his ability may come out more
or maybe they thought lets just throw him in and see how his attitude is , see if he is hungry and really wants it , 1%ers , sticking to team rules and structures and having a dip are probalbly all they were looking for, sadly he is a bulldog at heart so pee him off
-
Browne - lol
Post - lol
Forget about them kiddies
Still young and very raw - Many players take time to develop! Not everyone can be a Dustin Martin.
Hey! after all wern't most writing us off 9 rounds ago as the worst ever? things change!
I wouldn't be in any great hurry to get rid of these blokes as they are the type we have been screaming out for "As long as they develop", for years.

diagraceful effort by Post. One of the easiest thing to do in todays game is to get an actual kick.
I sat down on the fence yesterday and noticed he is a terrible reader of the play. thus the coaches frustration of not knowing if he is a forward or a backman. Back to Coburg for Post. I know he has had OP this season, but have seen him "'out and about "' This kid has "got well ahead of himself, BIG TIME

agree totally. Post was a post. Hopeless. Browne was useless too.
Whoops maybe we shouldn't give opinions on here. I don't think infamy likes it.
-
Mate, Infamy is the true definition of an Internet Nuffer
-
I worry about Post, looks to be slow between the ears when it comes to football, can't read the play, leaving me to wonder what his strengths are...Im prepared to cut Browney some slack in light of rucks taking a fair while to come on, his reserves from suggests he could be anything

Have to get pick 4 keep playing Post

from http://www.urbandictionary.com/ a "nuffer" is
A person that is either being or acting in a weird or dumb way.
"Fred stop spitting water on me,Your such a nuffer!"
So an Internet nuffer is...
Well I'm sure you can work it out.

According to one description of the internet on urban dictionary;
A vast tundra of knowledge, now corrupted and slowly imploding on itself. Those caught on the outskirts enter a void of stupidity and insecurity. Eventually, it will completely cave in on itself, and then explode with such force, we will all be sent to an information oblivion. Random bits of intelligence will float amongst vast oceans of idiocy, and all of man kind will commit suicide in a futile effort to repent for creating such a weapon of mass destruction. God will not accept their sacrifice, and everyone will go to hell, where Satan will get peeed off at the extreme overpopulation of his facilities, and send everyone to someplace copletely unihabitable, like Utah
.
"Random bits of intelligence will float amongst vast oceans of idiocy"
Has there ever been a truer statement made?

yep, your right Daniel. thats the reason Rance had so many possesions.

Rance dropped, now where is the footy genuis Infamy.
You no doubt want us to stay on the bottom for ever by saying Rance played well, he is no good
