Stoliboy, % means sweet FA when Carlton have a draw (1/2 game) on their points tally.

This season is gone
so now we have to get something / anything out of it & to me that means giving Billy Morrison , Tom Davidson etc etc a run before we delist them / or not - but at least give them a chance .

Our recruiting dept has been the weak link & hopefully Eddies complete review will sort them out .

Do our conditioning people need a rocket - we have had one of the worst runs with injuries of any club .

I do know that our supporters don't need another season like this one
- how sad when priority draft picks is the highlight of the year
- how sad when our great hope for the future is someone like Tom Davidson who has had 2 knee recos & player 1/2 a game of senior footy
- how sad when our facilities / sponsorships / memberships is if not the best then up there with the best - and here we are bumbling along at the bottom of thr ladder

Hope springs eternal & there's always next year & I'd rather be a Collingwood supporter in these circumstances than a supporter of whoever wins the 05 flag

Raining stoka35? Its been belting down since around 11 last night.

Bring some warm clothes, although the forcast says it will ease.

from bom.gov.au:

Saturday : Cloudy periods with a few showers. Moderate to fresh southwest
winds, turning west to northwest during the day.

Adelaide City Min 9 Max 16
Headline : A few showers.

Mattner has told Niel Craig he will cease playing and head up to the rooms if it rains.

We have a good record at Footy Park. Against Port we would run 'em super close.

Adelaide are also a good wet weather team with such big midfielders and a reasonably small forward line. Doubt it would disadvantage them too much but i do think that it evens the game up a lot and takes away our slow problem. Also takes away the problem of having a small forward line.

Crows by 24 now

Our recruiting last year was spectacular! Even got 2 rookies playing AFL which is amazing,then you have Egan, with others like yakka promising. Personally I think Hall will be a good player also.
Whatever is wrong I don't think it is recruiting - knowing Collingwood that is the only thing they will majorly change in the "big shake-up", causing us to go from mediocre to woeful.
Definitley have to look at conditioning however, and also forward coaching - which doesn't mean the jury is in because of the forward injuries these 2 years. RE conditioning I suspect that in some ways the players may be overtrained causing too many soft tissue breakdowns.
