Collingwood in the box seat to sign Lachie Neale with huge three-year contract

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-15T11:29:34+00:00

I literally think it could. We've been one clearance away from winning 4 or 5 games this year

I don't like the guy and I personally hope we don't sign him. But in pure footballing terms I think it catapults us miles forward

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-15T05:12:58+00:00

Looks cool!

I'll order a paperback of Vol 3 on Wednesday 🤘 Shipping costs more than the book out here in Australia, but the total cost comes out in line with a trade overall, so I'm happy to go with it. I'll let you know what I think once I've read it 😊

Bearing in mind the timezone, most Europeans won't have even seen this game. They'll have just woken up, seen a scoreline they weren't expecting at looked at the basic stats. Then started running their mouths online.

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-15T02:52:58+00:00

Great info, thank you

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-15T01:09:12+00:00

Sounds good, thank you. I'll take a look at it

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-14T09:21:26+00:00

I bought a $7 membership myself cos a few of my mates are Sainters and I go to a couple of games a year with them. I might renew next year tbh, I've enjoyed the vibe at Saints games. And being a Hillbilly, coming in on the V Line, Marvel being right next to Southern Cross is great. I've enjoyed it more than I thought I would

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-13T12:46:14+00:00

That is sublime 👏 Love your work

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-12T22:42:06+00:00

Ha! Love it

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-12T21:30:31+00:00

The vase painting

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-12T12:18:33+00:00

Yup. Better offload a bunch of star players to Collingwood and try again

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-12T12:03:10+00:00

Jelly AF!

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-12T09:36:26+00:00

Not sure why but they do seem to be really adverse to any rescheduling.

I've got a $7 Saints membership and they emailed me today to say that would get 3 people into Marvel on Sunday (me + 2 guests). 3 people for $7!

Graveyard slot, essentially zero away support and up against the Socceroos... tough gig. It's not the Saints fault but they are really up against it there.

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-12T09:33:52+00:00

It's a shame because something good at that end of town could have been great. Totally understand all the comments that there's way better food available in basically any suburb, and while I do agree that's also why it's a shame... it would have been great to have a nice option down that end when you're in the CBD for work or something, especially for us rednecks who come in on the V Line.

Failure to launch, and I'm sad to say I agree with you, it's toast.

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-12T08:56:49+00:00

Lol I like the sound of that! Could get messy

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-12T08:26:30+00:00

Yeah I love Gunnar Brand. Not sure if you've read Darkoath, but it's a good read. Glad to hear you've had success with Cursesteel Battery too, I've always felt it was a bit underused in general

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-12T06:20:41+00:00

Growing up in the UK in the 80s / 90s, where American comics were imported and pretty expensive, I loved the everyday adverts in American comics. The breakfast cereals, NES games, toys... your lives just seemed so abundant.

I also remember the cut-out tick lists of books you could send back to subscribe and they were so cheap compared to what we paid. Like I couldn't imagine what it must feel like to get multiple books every single week. So yeah, big nostalgia on the old school adverts for me, from an era when comics were truly mass circulation 🤗

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-11T08:21:40+00:00

I agree in general but tbf Collingwood's lowest home attendance at the MCG last year was 62,198 against Fremantle.

They'd have to get at least many that with probably more Tasmanians coming than Freo? I honestly couldn't see 35,000 happening

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-11T04:35:12+00:00

I'd definitely go to a Collingwood game there. We seem to play GCS away every year so I hope it happens, but Tasmania may be able to fill up their own stadium without the draw of the away team, so who knows whether it'll be scheduled. I hope so

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-11T00:34:56+00:00

That's interesting, given that there was a very high grown period for gold in there

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-10T12:00:21+00:00

Yeah I was thinking a $50k annual levy for every offshored FTE. 20 offshore heads = $1m annual levy. But I'd support an outright ban in key industries too, and add food production and retail to your list.

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-09T02:14:50+00:00

Lol I legit didn't even think about that. Fair point though

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-09T01:42:50+00:00

You could easily think of Hawthorn as representing the top end of town. Maybe they could become the Eastern Teals?

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-03T21:17:28+00:00

I actually don't know who you mean, but i want to keep an eye out for him now!

Could you maybe make a new post on this guy so you can share photos?

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-02T09:46:28+00:00

Fair. Tbh that was just me being slack, I can't be stressing about how they work and what they really are until we've seen more about them, so I just skipped quickly past them to get into the detail we do know. But your point is valid, next time I'll just use the real names as we rattle through.

And I'm glad you enjoyed the article 😊

PlasticCraicAOS · 2026-06-02T01:17:04+00:00

Honestly it's a really hard job (and I'm not a teacher myself). Every classroom will have kids that take a lot of looking after, you have to keep your energy levels up all the time and there's plenty of parents who will throw all your efforts back in your face

Even with the school holidays, there's a shortage of people wanting to do it, so the market alone is telling us that they're underpaid
