There’s not much better way for the end of a weekend than seeing Collingwood have its arse handed to it.

A Collingwood loss brings blitz together. Brings a tear to my eye.

I don’t think I’ve seen a brutish 191 cm mid run with power like Callaghan did today, it was really quite something. And they’ve still got green to put back into that midfield and hogan (and maybe stringer) into the forward line.After watching that, I’d have them flag favourites at this stage.

Fark Alfred. 2 out of 2, would have picked us and the lions for 4 out of 4.

PS . Only heartfelt feelings and best wishes to all affected by Alfred.

Hawthorn are a very good football side. I think we are genuine underdogs.

Still unexpected results get thrown up in the first couple of rounds.

North would have smoked GWS if the Giants didn’t have the one game advantage.

Quite staggering really people seem to forget that this club was sitting top 4 for a 3rd of the season. A couple more wins and better % we would have finished top 6 and played finals.

No one rates us and we will be underdogs all year which im fine with a lot people will have eggs on their faces.

Watched the game and my conclusion was that the pies have some big issues. They are slow, slow slow. They are also old but the difference today was GWS just ran away from them everytime they got the ball. This is not something you fix overnight. I feel That they cannot win the flag. I did not realize Josh Daicos is so slow. He was play on Jones who is extremely quick, but Jones just constantly cruised away from him. The pies have plenty of work to do.

Your percentage is typically the best indicator of how you are travelling.

Good sides don’t get flogged and they know how to kick a good score

Valid but in saying that no one at club was happy how we ended the season 2 years in row I think the playing group will play with a point to prove imo

Without looking over previous editions, could this end up being regarded as the best top 5 in draft history?

Certainly top 4. Mac Andrew is slightly more of a question mark just yet. It’s outrageous. Obviously two father sons in the mix.

I think it would at least be the most expensive at such an early stage of their careers!

But yeah there is some generational players there.
