Your lot have done well with the injuries you’ve had, but when (as a Collingwood supporter) you start insinuating other teams have an advantage with the draw, you lose all credibility.

All I'm saying is that west coast theoretically should win their home games, other than the derby games of course.
But my argument is that a coach under enormous pressure at the start of the year,
then cops a bunch of injuries to key first choice back men should be coach of the year.

Obviously you don't agree, that's fine by me.

You’re right. We don’t.

Counting your chickens a bit early too, Pies havent made the top 4 just yet. Buckley certainly not in the conversation if they end up outside the top 4. Is expect a respnse from Fremantle tomorrow, they have won games in Perth by shutting the opposition down, dont think id have to remind any Crows or Port fans about that, granted Collingwood are no SA team

I agree but just making the case Buckley should be above Simpson in the pecking order.

A decent argument could be made that Clarkson would be in front of him as well.

No because the Victorians are playing up to 15 “derbies” a year.
No advantage for a MCG tenant playing other MCG tenants

Absolute bullshit. When was the last time Ess or Coll went to Kardinia Park - 30 years?
What are the chances of Ess or Coll ever playing North or Hawthorn in Tassie :lol: ? It’s laughable.
You know you’re kissed on the dick with the draw based on crowds (I do get it) but to then have a whinge is comedy gold at it’s best.

Theyre hardly going to say on the eve of finals Buddy is out for positive drug test, kind of puts the AFL finals series on the backburner. It would be the biggest negative story in Australian football ever and that includes the Essendon saga. Of course the AFL are going to cover it up and especially in Sydney where they have worked for near on 40 years to get a foot in the door. It would undo all that work in an instant


do you have any facts to back this claim???
Haha, everybody knows Buddy is a coke fiend

So no September action for Port or the Crows in 2018. At least it frees up their fans to go watch their franchises go around in SANFL finals. :lol:

If there was the slightest hint that Swanny failed a test
a one metre thick concrete bunker wouldn't be enough to stop a leak.
