The I ❤️ Collingwood thread.

[DragaTheCro]

Will miss at least 8 weeks. There is a God.

 

[mrposhman]

Geez they just interviewed the moron that ran onto the field yesterday. Did nothing to change perceptions on Collingwood supporters intelligence levels

 

[22nd Man]

And then there was the moron who ran onto the ground. Could have derailed the season.

 

[Tass]

And went on to say “hope it made Ed happy”. They’re a unique breed.

 

[mrposhman]

Now trying to setup a gofundme to pay his upto $50k fine.

Frankly I think peoples money is better spent on other more important things right now than giving some moron cash for being a complete and utter tool.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Will miss at least 8 weeks. There is a God.

Apparently a very tricky injury. 8 weeks but after rehab likely 12 before it will stand up to a game of football.
Might be done for the year. Time will tell.

I’m calling BS on the finger.

 

[spook]

They're saying he had it taped for a quarter and a half and is "likely" to have surgery.

You can see the fingers taped on his left hand.

Unlike you to mix up your left and your right. You must have mistaken him for an ABC journalist.

That's Collingwood shot. I wasn't that high on them anyway (they lost to Essendon, ffs). They have a great defence but one of their best backs is out for at least most of the year, and now their best forward and most damaging player is out for similar. Even with De Goey i'm not sure that forward line can win a flag. He's no Jack.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

I guess I’m used to the left being broken.

 

[spook]

I guess I’m used to the left being broken.

Maybe you saw the two fingers united in solidarity.

 

[sconies]

Will miss at least 8 weeks. There is a God.

ehhhhhhh. I don't like celebrating anyone's need to miss games, even if they're an awful person and play for the worst (ethically) team in the league.

That said I don't think he should have been playing regardless.

 

[zgod]

I’m calling BS on the finger.

Agree.
Yeah its injured but its convenient.
Reckon something will drop soon.

 

[craig]

Certainly is, any significant finger injury is tricky, flexor tendons are really tricky.

Howe will get back before he does would be my guess.

Agreed Large son of Bull.

And like all tendons poorly vascularised.

Any knowledge of whether this finger was involved in his previous infamous injury with the frisbee.

Frisbee's are very tricky to catch.

 

[Quickdraw]

Might be done for the year. Time will tell.

And when he's ready to play, his court appearance will be imminent.
Could be wrong but might be end of 2020 for him.

here's some numbers on The Pies ump love. The love started in 2015 and has steadily risen.

2020 Pies +178% (most love). Rich (93%)
2019 Pies +120 (lost love) rich (98%)
2018 Pies +121 (most love) rich (73%)
2017 Pies 99% (4th most love) Rich (76%)
2016 Pies +108% (2nd most love) Rich (82%)

the data shows,

1. Pies are significantly the most ump loved over the past 5 years
2. the love is getting stronger over time
3. Pies are experiencing unprecedented, record obliterating ump love in 2020 (the mean differential is consistently around 90%, +178% is unprecedented)

I dont accept the pies have some legitimate, game-style free kick drawing secret that enables them to dominate the free kicks week in/week out, year in/year out

This, someone needs to explain it.

Send it to Robbo to plaster it on the back page of the hearld Sun.
They get a free ride.
Not only don't they give free kicks away they are the best at getting them.
Throwing the ball is part of Buckley's game plan.
Treloar was on world record pace last week he had 6 before half time without a free kick given away.

 

[Eddie from Elwood]

MCGuire bites himself on the Sidebottom again. Send your coaches home Ed, the have broken the rules. How good would it be to see Figgy in the box, looking around for someone to yell at!

Edit - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA it was Figgy............living up to him nick name then, isn't he?

 

[IanG]

McGuire just can't help putting his foot in it, he's an embarrassment to that club now.
