2014 End-of-year Review

The Footy Bogan attempts the near impossible: a review of the players (and maybe the team) for 2014.

How good is your best player?

The Footy Bogan ponders one of life's persistent questions.

De gustibus

Why watch? The Footy Bogan analyses why he watches footy.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 22 GWS

Who cares?

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 21 Brisbane

The Footy Bogan makes some good calls and one really good call.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 20 West Coast Eagles

The Pies get thrashed.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 19 Port Adelaide

The Pies claw their way back into the eight in a match notable for the number of errors by both teams.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 18 Adelaide

Collingwood continues its slide down the ladder - and out of the 8.

A week off

The Footy Bogan takes the opportunity to watch an enjoyable game of footy: St Kilda v Fremantle.

How the mighty have fallen

Ruminations and speculations on my team's decline.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 17 Essendon

The Footy Bogan runs out of pejoratives.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 16 Gold Coast

Disgraceful.

Danger Game

The Footy Bogan reckons today's game could be interesting.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 15 Carlton

Sidebottom delivered a load of steel; Tyson added a sack of gold; but after an exciting first quarter, the Pies limped home to an unconvincing, dreary win. The only good news for the Bogan was that he got the quinella: Collingwood won and Carlton lost. What more could he want from a weekend of footy?

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 14 Hawthorn

The wheels fall off.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 13 Bulldogs

The Pies lose a game they were expected to win.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 12 Melbourne

The Pies win an unattractive, low-scoring game.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 11 Saints

You'd say it was a pretty good game - if you were at your local suburban ground.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 10 West Coast Eagles

Who needs Luna Park? The Footy Bogan gets another roller-coaster ride.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 9 Adelaide

The Pies come thudding back to earth with a peculiarly inept display.

Player Review

The Footy Bogan sticks his neck out again. This time he runs the ruler over Collingwood's players.

May Review

The Footy Bogan sticks his neck out in reviewing the state of the teams after round 7.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 7 Carlton

The Pies win an unattractive game. We leave with a sour taste in our mouths.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 6 Essendon

The Footy Bogan watches an Anzac Day game for the ages.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 5 North

The Footy Bogan watches the Pies win a game of mild surprises.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 4 Richmond

The Pies score an easy win over the Tiges.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 3 Geelong

The Footy Bogan watches Collingwood lose the battle of the cliches.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 2 Sydney

Against the odds and all expectations, Collingwood grinds out a hard-fought win.

Notes from the game: 2014 Round 1 Fremantle

The Footy Bogan tosses up between switching teams or watching cricket.

MR on Collingwood v Fremantle

[MR remarked on the game before I had a chance to. Here he starts by referring to the aussieblogs site - The Footy Bogan]

The blog site seems to be down and out.

Much like my football team.

Looking ahead

The Footy Bogan opens his account at his new home with a bit of crystal-ball gazing. Just a short post to clear the cobwebs.

A new beginning

I wonder how this will work out. Will it work at all? I guess that depends on my definition of "work". After all, I'm sure that readers will see something; the devil is in the detail.

Ok, let's post this and move on.
