Need more rule changes

Exactly 12 months ago Collingwood thrashed the Bulldogs on the back of Grundy monstering English in the ruck. Grundy has given the Pies nothing tonight. Even heard some bronx cheers when one of his hit outs found a team mate.

Geez Collingwood drop the ball a lot.

[Spargo]

Right on cue, pretty boy Howe.

The third quarter was high intensity and the ball movement was pretty good until both sides attempted to go inside 50 and it was turned over straight away until the Bulldogs finally started to find some targets and convert and almost put the Magpies away and while the Pies have been good enough to stay in it the Dogs are still in control.

I love Bontempelli's composure, always looks like he has so much time and usually makes the right decision. Macrae and Hunter rack them up. Stefan Martin has had a good game and English has been effective aswell, they've done a great job of nullifying Grundy.

[The Dark Knight]

Collingwood have two inside 50s in a row kicked to Mason Cox's area and to his advantage, he gets he arms up and attempts to take the ball at it's highest point but can't hang on, with his height and reach he should be taking them every day of the week!

Was it just me or were Collingwood fans clapping Treloar there?

Sounds like the heat from that trade won’t go away anytime soon.

Everyone's an umpire basher.

And Treloar looked like he was smiling because of it?

The Collingwood faithful may not be so faithful if they lose to Carlton next Thursday. Especially if Tom Phillips and Jayden Stephenson play well in round 1.

Yeah I saw that vision as well.
I'm still pissed off he's not in the black and white as well.

[Brodlach]

Why did they boo him to begin with, not like he quit the club.

[Wedgie]

Atmosphere building up in town, some banter at the Rosey in Hindley St already.

Going to be bloody warm for footy though.

[Wedgie]

Dees looking good, Freo looking awful.
Early days though.

[Wedgie]

Can't wait to be amongst a good crowd Saturday night too.

Good? You realise Crows supporters will be there?

Ha ha, good size*

Probably be the biggest crowd I've been in since the 2018 SANFL GF.

4pm start is ideal too, couldn't be a better time on the weekend for AFL footy.

Pfft, wish it was a night game now, bloody hot in the sun especially walking around in a mask.
Luckily found a couple of seats at the bar with a nice breeze coming through the 5th floor.

What are the crows doing?

jesus christ even Mchenry is getting a kick

[Spargo]

Geelong are deadset rattled & Dangerfield will cop a holiday for that bump.
