Will Collingwood contend for the premiership once again, even with Nathan Buckley taking over as coach? Will Geelong continue to prosper or will their window of success be shut as of 2012? Firstly, Carlton, It is safe to say that alot of talk throughout the off-season has been around this team and if...

73 599
The AFL Footy show has now been running for 18 years, and some say that is a few years too many. The show was at it's peak when hosted by Collingwood President Eddie McGuire where it remained on the topic of football. Nowadays, it seems as if the only time the hosts and the panel actually talk about footy is when either Craig Hutchison or Damian Barrett are on, and it only remains on topic for a maximum of 15 minutes. As of late, the ratings have dropped dramatically. Some have called for the...

50 393
Nathan Brown, key Collingwood defender, tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in an innocuous training accident on the 14th of February. The infamous LARS surgery, which uses a synthetic ligament, can have players back within three months, but Collingwood is going down the less-radical path with the 22-year-old. Magpies football manager Geoff Walsh said all concerned had decided a full knee reconstruction was the safest option."I'm a bit bemused by the LARS surgery," Walsh said,...
