    Good on you, Pirouette.
    Glad to have you on board and vocal!!

      Well after going to bed early last night and waking up still feeling flat then sulking around the house all day with my Swannie jumper on, I`m feeling a lot better now reading all the posts on here. I originally thought we didn`t try hard enough but looking back I really think the boys did their best. Bring on next year. And it seems there is an anti Collingwood sentiment on here but I for one want to see the Pies screw those damn Cats.

        What Longmire needs to fix is our ability to have a lot more possessions than sides but slaughter the footy and let them back into the game. We need to be quicker moving the ball and running to receive and more direct in our play.

          Wow, that would be brilliant, I certainly hope Horse does implement some strategies like this, I'm a bit disgruntled with stop and think footy and forward pocket obsession.
          I watched the under 18 PF today at Quakers Hill and they all keep it moving instinctivley and it was fast and electrifying.

            Great year, but now the pressure is on for 2011 as anything less than what was achieved in 2010 will be deemed going backwards. There would appear to be a need to address the third quarter yips as well. Fast and free flowing, instinctive footy would indeed be brilliant to watch.

              I have noticed over the Roos era that we have had ordinary 3rd quarters. I wonder sometimes if he rests his best midfield more in the 3rd quarter to save them for the last, as most of the time our last quarters are good.

                I was just having this discussion over dinner. Until we stop with our Third Quarter Nap, which has been or nearly been our undoing in game after game, we'll never get further than the first or second rounds of Finals (he said dogmatically). Too many times, we've been overtaken and don't recover. That's one thing I hope Longmire will work on, a lot.
