Collingwood 2013

[Jim05]

Ben Johnson has retired after 235 games

[NO-MERCY]

Would love Collingwood add a small flyer to their 2014 membership packs with some basic explanations on the holding the ball rule.

It is NOT holding the ball when an opposition play has the ball and is touched by a player from your team.

TB i think you'll find every clubs supporters are exactly the same, thats including your club & i bet you have done the same at a game?
And don't Bull Sh!t me.

Ben Johnson you are a star!

Hard as a cats head and the best worst looking kicker of a footy ive seen!

Ha! I remember him being referred once to as the Forrest Gump of the AFL.

Grew up a Collingwood fan, got given his hero Gavin Browns number after playing his first season with the former captain, shame to see him finish like this but the right call, what a champ! Can't believe after his first few years he managed to kick those helicopter passes toward a team mate!

[Dogwatcher]

One of those blokes you grow to love as a footballer. Great player, loves the club.

[Q.]

One of the Rat Pack bites the dust. Wonder if another will follow him at season's end?

[Dogwatcher]

Does Didak have more to give?

[test]

Unfortunately I don't think so.

[Booney]

Does Didak have more to give?

I doubt it and even more questionable is if he would now be selected ahead of some younger blokes making a statement.

[Dogwatcher]

We might see some more cameo roles but that's about it, I reckon.

[Ron Burgundy]

Collingwood are the big sleeper. If they can get Lachlan Keeffe right and release Reid to be the second tall forward, and get some gametime into Thomas and Jolly just before finals, they could make a late charge.

[tigerpie]

I think Didak will be nursed as insurance for the finals.
The boys use him and is a match winner in the 50.
I think he is still important to us, but only he will know how his body is.

I agree. If they can make it to Prelim weekend they have the ability to upset someone in the top 4's party.

[Dogwatcher]

Yup. I believe we can too.
But, given our season, there's another injury just around the corner.

Clinton Young has done his hammy again.

[Dogwatcher]

See, we've got another corner coming.

[OnSong]

See, we've got another corner coming.

Young is hardly a valuable piece of that jigsaw from what we've seen so far.

[Dogwatcher]

Nope but it's another injury, another test of depth.
Heading to the finals, you want the depth jigsaw complete, to use your analogy.

Fair point. Both the Magpies and Hawks have blooded a lot of rookies this year.
