Frawley made so many bad decisions on sunday.

The worst one was moving Ray Hall off Simmonds, Hall was all over him in the first qtr only to moved to a half forward flank and put Gaspar on simmonds.

Great move Spud.

Even taking Pettifer off at times, to his credit Pettifer played a good game and was killing Medhurst. He was only playing a half back spot and surely he could play a full game in that spot.

Forget Kevin Sheedy.
If he came back next year I’d give up wanking.

You crack me up lol - the things you do hey!!

But Sheeds is still No. 1 in my book.  Just because he's screwed us in the past, doesn't mean he really owes us any favours.  If i was him, I'd be looking after number one as well - and when you look at this rabble of a club, it would be a daunting thing to say i'm gonna leave something that I've built up to be the most successful club in 2 decades (Essendon) to go home to a place where even i'm not sure i could make a difference.  We are hopeless.  I hated Sheeds for not wanting to come back a couple of years ago, but really, why would you want to?  I still think he's the best man for the job - even if he is getting on.  He's the complete package - coaching, marketing, head kicker, everything.  His record with recruiting is second to none when it comes to building up a list of youngsters.  He rarely goes for hacks is why i like him so much.  I would be doing anything legal or illegal to get him to the Tiges.

What about Mick Malthouse?  How long does he have at Collingwood?

I thought Chris Hyde did well early in the game, but for some inexplicable reason spent a lot of time on the bench.  He’s one player who has been putting in and he gets rewarded by being benched.

D’oh

Seems I owe someone an apology.  :-[  I had a look at the tape last night (admittedly it was mostly in fast forward mode) and it seems that Chris Hyde spent the majority of the time on the ground.

It is true that he did go to the bench, but from what I could tell, it was only in the last few minutes of the last quarter.  I’ll see if I can’t get my facts right next time. :P

Contracted for 2005 and possibly 2006 - not an option

I think WP is correct. He's definitely contracted for at least next year.

I must admit I've gone off Malthouse this year. Appears to suffer a Danny trait of having favourites in his squad and continually playing them even when they are performing poorly. Collingwood also made the fatal mistake (like we did in 2001) of not making any changes to their team after getting near the top. They had chances of picking up Nick Stevens (for Didak) and possibly Browny (suffer!  ;D) but refused to give up decent players in return. You always must improve your list no matter where you are on the ladder otherwise you will go backwards.

Tommy could fill in for the reast of the season - and would probably do it for nothing. But then he might get them winning games just when we least need it. :)
