Still giving us nothing...'cept Cups and Medals

Bombers had 16 afl players playing vfl on the weekend, we had 10.

Yet bombers have been decimated by injury apparently.

Have been noticing this a bit recently, Clubs "players missing" being spoken about but never ours, we have the worst injury run this yr by a long way, not that the media are discussing it. Cats & pies are flying atm & have not really been hit yet, that will come.
 
I'm just glad an article I read mentioned Geelong as flag favourites, we're 'rolling', and just mentioned "Collingwood is 7-1" which doesn't clearly state they are the benchmark or flag favourites.

Mark Stevens tweeted yesterday that in his mind we were flag favourites given who we had to come back in. FWIW

i saw that. And also all of the Collingwood supporters who responded saying "what about our injuries"!

Sportsbet has Geelong at $3.50, colingwood $3.75, giants $6.50, us $7.00 and west coast $8.00

Next in line is Adelaide at $26
 
Mentioned this earlier but more context now....

This was picked up from twitter but shows how many players for each team have played every game for the season up to round 10:

16 Bris
15 Freo
14 GWS
13 Adel,Coll
12 Geel,GC,StK,WC
11 Carl, Ess, Melb,Port,Syd,WB
10 Norf
9 Haw
6 Rich

So whilst deluded Collingwood fans complain about their injuries, at least the core of their side has been there every week.

Just watched footy classified that I recorded on the iq last night. The ONLY Richmond reference that they showed was the grab from training last week where Dimma had a go at Stacky for arriving late. I didn't realize we didn't play on the weekend. No mention of the game at all

Just watched a replay of On The Couch. Healy says "after the break Tigers on the menu" but there was not a single second of the entire show re Tigers?? WTF??

I'm just picturing when Cotch holds the cup up again this September and all the commentators say "Where the *smile* did that come from, we didn't even know they were playing this year!!"
It's just staggering how little review time we get, considering we are top 4 with a fair chunk of stars out injured most of the time

Yep I noticed that too. That's seriously poor.
 
Makes no sense, ignoring the biggest team with the largest membership would seem to be a recipe for low ratings. No wonder I don't watch any of these shows.

AAA gave us nothing either, only thing they showed was Stack doing the war cry, i thought Dreamtime was the biggest game of the round...
 
We need a big scalp. I love how we’re rolling but we’ve beaten some average teams, done what we needed to.

That’s the query on us and I think it’s reasonable.

Besides, I’m fine with under the radar and you can bet the coach is too !

half agree.

Port in Adelaide with our VFL team was pretty huge, but I know what you mean.

Cats in a fortnight with a fighting fit Captain will be glorious.

Had to laugh at Worsfold saying he

'wants to be like Bucks and Hardwick, just give me more time'

I would have just said 'I want to be like Hardwick'

If I was him.

But you are a respectful bloke ET.

Surely you'd have said "I want to be like Mr Hardwick", wouldn't you?
