This man is a Gift.

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

Not yet dude. If he wins a premiership then he will be a real presence.

[@nickwyllie7563]

@@paulkyriakopoulos3444 still a gift. Are you kidding? He has turned the culture, team spirit and performance around completely

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

@@nickwyllie7563 agree bro and I hope he can deliver a premiership. That's important winning premierships

[@kelstra1997]

Collingwood (the club) have done a lot of things right over the last couple of years but two that really stand out are the appointment of Graham Wright and the appointment of Craig McRae. Both absolutely outstanding at what they do.

[@jimmyzhang0305]

Completely agree. That's why I think our previous president and board should be credited as they were the ones that hired Graham Wright and Fly

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

[@jimmyzhang0305]

@@paulkyriakopoulos3444 no not kidding. Fly and Wright was hired by previous Board and President. Facts

collingwood fan living in texas. my son is 10 loves footy. we introduced it to his American football friends and let me tell you if an AFL club invested in kids in texas they would find a treasure trove if talent. they all love the sport too

[@frasercousins9810]

That's awesome we love texas. Unless your 7 foot though they just couldn't compete with these Victorian boys who've been playing since they would walk

[@jackstephens7882]

So amazing! Thanks for the love towards AFL. Go pies!

[@slydogg1988]

Such a breath of fresh air for the club! What a great man

[@wwfgumby]

Great chat guys, and as a lifelong Magpie supporter, I'm so glad we have Fly.

[@GrahamrobertGoldsworthy-sd5tm]

Craig McRae will take us place's and the boys listen as they are keep turning up every week on the field go the hard yards and it will pay off Craig is a very good couch smart and wise glad we have you Craig McRae we all see the difference since you came along thank god for that go the magpies

[@Ananko16]

I am confident of Collingwood's success under Fly. His humility and consideration for others will make players run through a brick wall for him.

[@nklin6]

Goddamit Collingwood are gonna win the flag

[@TheDrunkenkiller]

I think Mcrae would have loved having Jaidyn Stephenson on his list. The kid had a lot of style, and everything that happened to him in 2019 that changed could have been a different story

[@TeeSlice]

Absolute legend! So glad he's our coach 🙌

[@KratosGaming300]

How do you just start playing afl with such fun and challenging progress

[@UltimateGreatness]

Always love these chats every week. Would listen to Fly nonstop if I could.

[@laurencetilley9194]

So good to hear fly throw some praise on Jordy, he has been outstanding this season and has really matured into his role with in the team. Another player that has really grown under fly is Will Hoskin Elliot. GoPies

[@david6294]

Mason has stated that the AFL has dropped the ball on promoting our game overseas and that's why Mason has not led to more US players

[@tommy9951]

He should put a pipe in it given that’s the whole reason he was gifted a career here, he IS the marketing/promotion for the US. Skills and footy IQ still aren’t afl standard, and they keep him on so he should shut up and enjoy his diversity hire.

[@RedFrog_191]

All the best for Justin I hope he stays with the club!

great radio a round table chat about football milstones. well done

[@canto10mosha65]

This Collingwood team is amazing. They’re winning games that even if you look at the stats that suppose to matter (kicks, handballs, possessions contested or not) they’re supposed to be losing. And they’re even not at a hundred percent personnel wise.

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

The main stat in my book is get the job done and win a premiership bro. Fk the rest.

[@TimmoBond]

Hope we get more people from overseas come and play AFL.

[@okboomahfromblackrod2939]

How fitting would it be for Steelo, Pendles Craig and Lepper to bring home "Sweet Sixteen" with this new Magpie Outfit... Daicos Magic should be on the Periodic Table. Go Pies..

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

That my mate would eradicate all the losing grand finals I've seen. Hope macfly gets the team playing good attacking footy and be unbeatable on grand final day.

[@okboomahfromblackrod2939]

@@paulkyriakopoulos3444 I too have felt the pain of many runners up. (including 1970 44 pts up and still didn't get the chocolates). Compare this team to 2010 I think we're better now.

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

@@okboomahfromblackrod2939 yep agree player's really want to perform and get the crowd up . Hopefully pies don't get many injuries and come finals I can see Collingwood make a good attempt at winning premiership.

Collingwood are like the old Richmond, where jack Higgins would tell the group a joke before they played.

[@brianjones5548]

Must have been shit jokes, he got the flick.

[@martymarta]

Mate I deadset thought of this exact same thing the other day, the culture of the club is on another level just like when Richmond were a power house

[@paulkyriakopoulos3444]

Let's not dream of dynasty or powerhouse club crap . Hope the players and macfly deliver supporters a memorable premiership.

There's simply just no money in AFL compared to basketball in America, why would they give up an NBA dream of making $10m a season for $500k in Australia? And even in College Basketball they can make ridiculous money

[@JEBEDIAH8D]

Not everyone can make the NBA there are thousands of basketballers that are athletically gifted that simply don't make it to the NBA. There are thousands of athletes that just don't make it to the professional level in sport that could given the right opportunity

[@justinmadden5607]

Because the talent pool is enormous over there and NBA spots are so limited. Mason Cox wasn't even a listed player at OK State, he was an engineering student who was a walk on player who played a few minutes here and there, literally for a free pair of shoes.
