  1. Where do you think we'll finish on the ladder?

  3. My thoughts on how to beat Collingwood

    After watching Collingwood a great deal over the year, these are my thoughts on how you beat them.

    I didn?t want to hear we were the most efficient team with our kicking or that our stoppages had dropped dramatically.

    What I wanted to hear from BT , Uncle Tony, Cranky Parko and the delightful Rohan Smith was that
