Not a bad idea, there's a few forums that use this as calling it draft game, there's a few different versions of it. As well as all those phantom drafts that show up. Always good to see the threads pop up over at Bigfooty and a few other places.
Other than local footy it's usually the only time I pay much attention to Bigfooty.

Hi all. Long time lurker here who joined up the other day and made his first post earlier this morning. Thanks must go to RudeBoy who gave me inspiration for my nickname when referring to the John Wren as John West.

For what it's worth, I am a Buckley supporter and I believe he will be a very successful coach.

Thank you Culprit. You can try to change my view but I don't think you will succeed. Good luck.

Yes, that was great line.

A big welcome to both Rickshaw and John West. It feels like we've had more people join in the last two weeks than they have in the last five years.

You're a recruiting genius thompsoc! :shock:

Come on guests join up and start giving your opinions.
Thought I'd go again - been reading for probably 15 years due to living out of Vic. In the past this site was all the pies info I could get. Mind you it has changed so much. I have to say part of my motivation of rejoining is to block some of the "fans" who seem to despise rather than support our players and support staff.

Anyway I love Collingwood and I look forward to again being a member.
Good old Collingwood forever!

Does Mercury in Retrograde having anything to do with it? I liked John Wren as a nickname but settled for this fictional name. Who will be the real JW?
