Not sure why it is thought that McStay might replace Cox. Cox I would have thought is our best tap ruckman. Having lost Grundy, surely we need Cox to take a majority of the centre bounces. I don't see McStay being so effective in that role, and Cameron is capable, but should share with Cox. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

With 5 on the Bench, both Cox and Cameron play and take turns on the bench, along with McStay and Checkers. _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

Fly in todays presser : ' When Frampton played in practice games, it allowed Moore, Maynard and Howe to be in the best players.'
I would think with our all out attacking game style which can be brutal on our key backs , a 3 goal concession to his direct opponent is a win for us. |

It’ll be interesting to see how Peter goes in this game.The reports of him in the practice matches were a bit underwhelming,so it’ll be interesting to see how he goes in the real stuff. |

Peter Frampton 1970’s rock star,that’s who I call Frampton the footballer.I know I’m dating myself but I couldn’t help it.He just seems like a Peter to me. : |

He just needs to play his role as a bit of a scragger - perhaps a Presti type. I know thats not excatly what Howe did, but would allow Moore to be a little more third man up and will also allow Murphy to take the second key back.
I actually thought the defence looked even more dangerous last week once Howe had hurt himself (and thats no disrespect to the guy). There were three or 4 occasions where there was Hawkins and one of Murphy or Moore contesting and the other Pie swooped in and spoiled/marked and rebounded.
I also think we get a little more out of Murphy with Frampton playing.
Another thing I am a close watch on... I have a theory that we have a great development coaching panel. By that, I mean we are good at making players better (and I don't mean better humans - which is admirable, but better footballers). If that theory plays out, then perhaps we can take other club's leftovers and help them to get 10, 20, 50% better and become a valuable contributor.
I think there are definitely clubs out there that don't do this very well and they have to either get high draft picks or pay overs for ready-made superstars.
Anyway - hopefully Billy can support my thesis so I wish him all the best. _________________ It's never as good/nor bad as it seems... |

Good nickname for our Frampton. Better than ‘Franga’ the one I heard. _________________ I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️ |

Thought he was serviceable after a nervous start. He’s no world beater but given the cost of the trade, he’s already proven to be the perfect addition to adding some depth to an undersized backline. |

Terrific game. Held his own. It’s going to take a bit if time to make independent decisions as he still needs to work out the patterns of 'teammates. A lot to like watching from Level 1 at the Ponsford. _________________ “I even went as far as becoming a Southern Baptist until I realised they didn’t keep ‘em under long enough” Kinky Friedman |

Looked shaky at the start, but was very composed as the game progressed.
Good first match in our colours. _________________ | 1902 | 1903 | 1910 | 1917 | 1919 | 1927 | 1928 | 1929 | 1930 | 1935 | 1936 | 1953 | 1958 | 1990 | 2010 | 2023 | |
