    Really? It must have decreased down through the years, surely nobody would get drafted on the back of beep test that low.
    They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

      West Coast outside of Subi must be a major concern .
      Geelong have got a decent mix of senior and youngsters , and obviously the Danger effect has given the group a major lift .

      Collingwood just get opened up to often under Buckley, and their intent just isn't there often enough.
      Eddie will need another diversion this week away from Bucks

        GCS are a rabble of a joke. Melbourne with twice as many scoring shots. Here's hoping many of the GCS kids who do have talent are looking for a winning and happier place to be next year.

          A rabble of a joke.. WTF does that mean?

          GC have a pretty large injury list which isn't helping their cause at all.

            Not sure, I might need to think about it... Gary Ablett trying to quieten abuse 'fans' along their players race might be the main talking point in the QLD sports media.

              Yep, GC's injury list is hideous. All their key backs are out and a big chunk of their top end midfield talent is out as well.

                How many are out?

                May/Thompson from the back, Swallow/O'Mera from midfield. Am I missing anyone else?

                  Pretty important players who are out . I think it's not how many out, but whom is out .
                  They just haven't recruited enough hard nosed types.

                    Looking forward to catching the Saints-Roos result today. One of those games that you're happy for either team to lose, so whatever happens, it's a win-win.
                    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

                      Must say Brendan Bolton is proving to be a great coaching pick up.
                      Another Hawks assistant who has been around, done his time got experience on other clubs and really turning a basket case around.
                      Everyone says how bad Collingwood are but we need to also acknowledge Carlton just might be starting to come out of the deep black Hole under this guy.
                      He also is handcuffed to some of his dud players by stupid contracts.

                        The thing is ledge. There is no better headline than a Collingwood one, They lose its serious turmoil, they win and it's finals.

                          A little like when we win they concentrate on how bad the opposition were.

                            Rischitelli and Hallahan in the midfield.

                            They also lost Sexton and Rosa early on last night which made it tough to rotate.

                              You're being to lenient.

                              Crameri, JJ, Suckling, Murphy, Boyd, Stevens. There's 6 of our top liners for their 6 mentioned above. They've been hand fed and they have Ablett as well. No excuses that was a shite performance against a mediocre team on their home patch.
                              But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

                                Quality of the outs is hideous, not the quantity. And with Scott Clayton royally screwing the development of this list from day one they have bugger-all depth to cover for such outs.
