They bought the wrong steaks.
They were kissed on the dick with their draw before the bye, have been found wanting badly (injuries as well) ever since.
Played poor sides, built up unwarranted confidence, confidence shattered after playing top teams, now exposed as the middling team they are currently with no confidence.
Young team, really only the last 3 weeks that have been disappointing in terms of below par performance.
3 -10 losses in tough assignments (Freo away, Hawks, and I'd include Port away)
Then had a few injuries/suspensions, Eagles and Dogs are 50-50 games at best for the Pies, but they should have done better in both games anyway. Today was surprisingly poor, no excuses for them, but I certainly don't think the team that played today is indicative of 4-5 weeks ago when they had good games v Freo and Hawthorn.

Terrible coach. Driven a grand final team off the cliff...should they pull the trigger?
Would Mick go back?

According to Collingwood supporters it was the umpires who lost it to them today. The AFL decided a few weeks ago that they were sick of Eddie's crap and its actually a massive company wide conspiracy to deny them wins.

The best teams they have beaten are North and GWS who aren't any better than Port or the Bulldogs.
I don't know what's happened to the Pies...haven't heard from a Collingwood supporter in six weeks!!

Lost confidence after a few close losses, came up against some good sides after a soft start to the year, young team getting tired, Cloke and Elliott lost form and got injured, a few average players getting found out, some strange selection choices. A lot of stuff really.

We're travelling along beautifully thank you very much. Exactly where we expected to be.

Nice to see that you've regained both your sight and ability to use your hands after being gaped last Friday night.

They were in form and playing well against the Dockers and Hawks but they missed their chances late in the game and lost those close matches. You gotta make it count when you're in form because it can all go away just as quickly.
That's the pies supporter I remember. Accepting mediocrity and mass choking. Gone from 8-3 to out of finals with still 5 weeks of the season left. Beautiful!
Collingwood, where are they at?
The difference is that we know we are crap so it doesn't hurt that much (anymore).
According to your previous post you think you are "travelling along beautifully"..wow, you have dropped your standards from just seven weeks ago. Happy with six losses in a row?!

Yeah I agree there mate. Take arguably the most import player out of your side and it can expose you.

He isn't as bad as Jimbob Hird
They're still tracking OK in the grander scheme of things. Its just that people overrated where they were at right now, this year. They can still say they beat the bottom 10 teams consistently and that they were competitive with the top 8 sides. That's not too bad for a young side. Their draw has probably emphasised this to extremes.
Right now i would probably project them as a middle of the road side for 2-3 years with a final or two played and then it will depend on how their kids turn out as to how they go from there.
