Like it (Wood getting a go).

Would have preferred Johnson to Ellard.

I said in the Swans in game thread, if we'd had half a ruckmens arsehole out there in that game we would have been leading at half time.

MILESTONES: Chris Yarran - Playing 100th game, Mitch Robinson - Playing 100th game, Lachie Henderson - Playing 100th game, David Ellard - Playing 50th game

Based on that North by 87 points.

I'd have persisted with Johnson as well. Add a hungry Robbo, a real goal kicking option and hoping Wood can give a fair account of himself... lot better side this week.

Ellard should have been dropped and delisted at years end...is this is how we develop players ? ie Johnson.....played well the week before but had a tough game vs the best list in history according to Mick then gets the flick...surely he deserved another game to show what he learned vs the Swans?

Warnock got dropped?....about 2 seasons too late...hope Wood goes well but Goldstein will be tough work....

North by 27 points.......

He had 5 disposals for the game. I remember you having a go at me a few weeks back because I wanted Graham in and you and Thry tried to tell me we'd be damaging our culture by playing players that didn't deserve it. I guess that has changed now.

BTW we will win this game with all these milestones. North have won two in a row as well they are ripe for the picking.

Agree about Blaine and Ellard - the wrong guy was dropped. Strange call. Wood is a big gamble v. Goldstein I must say, I hope he goes OK though. A tough test for the boys.

My expectations are pretty low: if we are not tanking, then I am a Collingwood supporter (and I don't want to lose 95 % of my brain and all of my teeth).

About time Warnock was shown the door.
He's had the first ruck all season and still offers nothing but a cold draft.

A switched on Robbo with Ding Dong in the guts could be interesting.

Davey can count his lucky stars after last weeks (another) fizzer.

First time all year I did a fist pump when I saw he side. Not because of the ins but because of the one out. Spud Warnock. Thank the sweet lord. As far as I'm concerned Wood only has to break even with Goldstein in the ruck take a couple of marks and give off a few handballs to be ahead of that useless piece of carp.

Warnock had to be dropped this week, he was terrible against the Swans. Sends a terrible message if performances like that mean a player gets to hold their place in the team.

The upside of Warnock being dropped is we'll only get flogged by 40-points now.
