The good, the bad and the ugly truth about Collingwood

I would say Cam, that Brown, Varcoe, WHE and Cox weigh up to one good player.

Just watching Geelong, and the comment was made about Rohan that "they picked him up cheaply". Howcome only Hawks and Cats pick up good players cheaply. We seem to pay an arm and a leg for average players like Mayne.

Even when we do get a decent player like Treloar, and pay an unprecedented 2x first round picks, Caro is still at us for Gubby conspiring to create a dodgy deal on that one. Did she want to pay us 3 first rounders? I don't get it.

Think Mason might be believe his own press and think “Shit how easy”

No doubt Treloar VG but this week after week 30+ touches for moderate impact on effectiveness

Does anybody on this forum have the time to analyse the week-to-week mindless, negative, extreme mood swing commentary that the rest of us tolerate from our beloved Magpie brethren?
Could rename this forum "Magpies' chocolates to boiled lollies and back
again" roller coaster.

Coxy is possibly a victim of our own tactics, on top of his injury. Since his return and the loss of Stevo, he's been used to draw players to help JDG and Mihocek. While this worked well last week, it means he's playing a more stationary game and is easily hemmed in. Injury may have also hampered his fitness, making it seem more reasonable to use him this way.

He needs to be moving into space and making more runs up the ground to regain confidence. It could turn around very quickly for him, so I think we need to persevere, even though we struggle when Mihocek is held.

At the same time, JDG is understandably down on forward output given his duties up the ground, putting even more focus on Coxy. We need another dangerous forward; bugger Reid not being available as he would've given us cover at both ends.

Of course, nothing matters when you're that far off the boil in the midfield, but speaking of the forward line in isolation we're simply not dangerous enough at the moment, enabling the opposition to attack without due fear of being hurt the other way.
