I just wonder if the high tempo style can be maintained through June and July and into the finals. I don't know the stats, but surely the injuries and lack of rotations are really going to cause an acceleration in miles on players clocks leading to more breakdowns and slower footy in winter. Collingwood's style may come more to the fore when clubs start to slow down, coz I think its inevitable.

the complexion of the game has to change soon. they can't possibly keep up the breakneck speed that the game is being played at. i expect our team to come into its own as the winter months. the stoppage footy will suit us better.

We have the longest injury list, as always. If that stays the same then we won't be able to take much advantage.

This point was also made by Chris Scott on 360 a few weeks ago - he feels that teams will not be able to sustain this early pace.
I expect that ST.K, Melb, Suns and GWS will suffer.
i also give credit to Bucks because he has realised that last years game plan needed to change and be less taxing because of the rotations cap. |

you'd think the planning for the change in interchange would have commenced 18 months ago. we saw some of that during last season with the resting of players forward of the ball.

interesting stat on afl360 regarding time spent in midfield across the welfare's and pauperoos' players. there is a more even spread across the formers whilst the latter the load has been apportioned to only a few. i'd hazard a guess ours would be fairly evenly spread across 8-10 players.

f me.
its better to clutch at straws than to give up and f drown. ffs take a good hard look at the negativity and lack of ticker in that approach.
give up. its this sort of attitude that has diminished marriage and turned relationships into short term contracts with f free agency after 6 or 7 years.
i won't give up. i will clutch at as many straws as it takes to stay positive and offer suggestions as to fixing what we have instead of throwing it out and getting a new one.
AND NO I DON'T WANT THE F EXTENDED WARRANTY!!! 
Peace out.

I understand how difficult it is to watch the Mighty Magpies lose any game, and yet I would appreciate the amateur coaches out there to let us enjoy a great win before passing further judgement. Side by Side we stick Together, Go Pies.

Wise move. That extended warranty is always a stitch up.  |

No one is 'Giving up', in fact that's why us "perceptive fellow" make so much noise - we won't give up because what's been happening in the last few years has been pretty much unacceptable. Build it and they shall come.. also life doesn't have a warranty. |

Thanks Cam for an interesting post and for showing some passion.
Love how tbwcw makes out his extreme negativity is actually positive action. Thanks Tony Abbott for normalising this type of behaviour
