| The question is who goes out for Grundy and Adams. I’m happy with Cox and Carmichael. |

I thought Carmichael was pretty ordinary aga8nst the Demons, tbh. Tried hard but did not get a lot of it. |

I thought he did alright. He's even starting to handball, one of which was part of a chain resulting in a goal in the last quarter. He is a big, strong running machine, which will come in handy in the finals.
Obviously one of Cameron or Cox will need to give way if Grundy returns. My guess is that Bianco would make way for Adams, with Carmichael as the injury sub. |

He's been a lot better when he hasn't been running around the streets half naked during the season. Glad he got it out of his system lol |
Better than running around the MCG half naked during the season I guess?
But fun activities such as nudie runs, are perhaps best left to the off season, where they don't detract from more important tasks, like our Premiership tilts...

There was a 10m+ handpass out in the far wing after he mugged Langdon one on one (4q 8:07 rem. to play) back over his shoulder which went to Jordy who didn’t break stride.
Amazing. |
Bit of a pity De Goey kicked it straight into the crowd off the side of his boot - but hey, whatever, Sidebottom's work was sublime. His effort stifled Melbourne's last possession inside 50. |

McCreery had zero possessions in the first half. He cannot repeat that.

Just watched the final quarter again, and noticed for the first time the incredible tackling efforts of Bianco in that last five minutes. He played a major role in locking the ball into our F50. His tackles were ferocious.

If the ball isn't going anywhere near him I'm sure there isn't much he can do about it! |

What a ripper bloke!
Simply, a great move from the club to do its due diligence and pick a coach who will bring out the very best from every player. We are very lucky to have him leading the playing group. |
Terrific bloke, and the due diligence undertaken by the club has to be applauded.
His man management is second to none.

Yes, it was the first time the club had done this in their history. It was a big shift away from the typical captain's pick from the President that we had become accustomed to for the last 100 years.
The best performing clubs had been doing similar things, so it was a no brainer that we had to finally grow up and mature rather than cut corners to find the next 'messiah'.
The sub-committee consisted of Mark Anderson (CEO), Graham Wright (GM of Football), Peter Murphy (board member), Paul Licuria (board member) and Luke Ball was brought in as an external appointment.

De Goey was up and about all game, McCreery is an animal, Elliott, Mihocek don't take any rubbish. Our shift is interesting and we are loving it. |
Same. I think this comes from McRae having learnt from the best in Leigh Matthews who demanded toughness.

Melbourne's last inside 50 happened with 6:43 remaining in the last quarter. The closest they got to goal was about 75m out where Maynhard took anintercept mark.
The ball lived in Collingwood's half of the ground for almost the final 7 minutes. |
The pressure acts were through the roof in the end. It was an amazing team effort.
McRae made note of this in the presser, but shout out to McCreery who had a quiet first half but was huge in those final minutes of the game.

They're infectious. The adrenaline rush from watching them is exhilarating.

I have said this on several occasions the ability of this side obviously coached to believe in their ability to immediately stop a sides momentum with a fierce pressure and create their own momentum
Luck would be once ,twice or three times maybe
But NOT 11 times—it’s a genuine style /game plan or call it what you like
They make the Granny it sure will be interesting to see how it plays out
