Did you know that James Brayshaw is on TV stealing your tips?

Just saying, you might want to go **** that **** up and ****.
He rings me up to get my tips most weeks.

Gagging for Petrie to come back ftr.

Gutted for Ricky Petterd hey. Have a reasonable man crush on him. Rate him highly.

Old spatula hands? Bit of an unfair nickname to bestow him with, but he did miss the most important grab of his career right in the goalsquare, so I say it sticks.

Who's next in line? Newton or Jack Watts?

Speaking of mancrushes and Petrie though... Petrie :wub: Nothing quite like watching him have a field day like against the Saints last year (both times IIRC).

I used to play a bit of footy with Newton. Don't rate him too highly, but has the biggest leap. Used to sit on a blokes shoulders at least once a game. Hasn't changed either.

Ofcourse they're grooming Watts to be that key forward, but he's definitely a long way off. Jeez impatient Melbourne supporters must be disappointed in him. We've been so spoiled by ready made draftees, then you get a bloke like Watts who's more of a long term project. Is it wise to spend your #1 pick on a project? Well only time will tell...

Especially when they could have had NicNat

Yeah, I think you do have a sneaky chance... of keeping it within 8 goals
We'll beat you clowns in the centre on the weekend. We just need to be able to get a target up forward and it'll be interesting. I reckon we match up well against Collingwood, especially with Brad Scott coaching.

Fulling expecting you to quote this if we do end up getting smashed ftr.

As I'm sure you'll quote my previous if you pull out a win. I think we'll see some clever coaching by Scott to minimize the beating in the centre, and Wellingham is actually a pretty big out for us given the form he's been in. That said, while I think Scott's going to be an excellent coach, based on how he went at Collingwood, I don't think he's got the cattle to stop us at the moment. If we play anywhere near the intensity we've had the last couple of weeks, we'll be hard to stop.

Simply put, it's the type of game that Collingwood has to win, and hasn't done in previous years, to get themselves firmly entrenched in the Top 4.

Losing games like this have cost themselves any real chance at going to the big one over the past two years.

Watching TFS aws. My love of that Brown and Ling footage when they were hammered knows no bounds.

Haha, all my Demon mates absolutely hate him, think he's bloody useless.

Spewing they got rid of MacDonald, for DT purposes. Was doing well for me, and looked alright every time I saw him play.

Watts ****s me when we could have NicNat galloping around, though I understand that he needs time.

Love Petterd as well, his debut against the Swans will forever remain in my heart.

Is it true they overlooked Nic Nat because they had Jurrah? And didn't want to take a risk with two players unfamiliar with competition footy?

Dogs just get over the line :-O

Dees fans would be shattered, but they're showing a lot. Scully + Trengove = ***y.

Personally, I think seeing what Scully did in that last quarter is more important than a win.

Hard to take now of course, but still.

Also, what's with the Doggies giving up leads? Brisbane, Saints and now Dees (albeit coming back to win).

Scully. What the crap. If he's getting 39 mostly good possies when he weighs 40kg sopping wet (which he did tonight, incidentally) what is he gonna do after 5 years in the system and with some bulk on him? ****ing hell.

He's already one of the best players in congestion in the league right now if you ask me.
