Fact - Collingwood still sits second on the ladder, and comfortably in the top 4.

Thats your opinion, its not fact.

 

[paulige]

Equal first?

Why didn't anyone tell me the AFL abandoned that whole 'percentage' thing!?!

 

[The Dustbin]

2nd favourites for the flag. LOL

 

[winty]

Thats your opinion, its not fact.

Actually, it is fact. Collingwood average about 80 points less a game in their two losses to last year's grand finalists than they have in their 7 wins.

If that's not the definition of 'flat track bullies' I don't know what is.

Here's another fact too. In the last 4 games against Geelong, Collingwood have been kept goalless in a quarter.

In the 2009 NAB Cup final and the Round 3 game last year, Collingwood didn't score a goal in the 2nd term. In the preliminary final and last night, they didn't score a goal in the last term. Just goes to show they can play well against Geelong in patches, but when Geelong up the ante, Collingwood can't go with them.

[Murraj1966]

I wonder, If the Pies made the Grand Final on the Friday night, but the 2nd Preliminary Final on the Saturday, was St Kilda V Geelong, would they even show up on Grand Final day?

 

[Shadoways]

Fact - Collingwood are soft, and soft teams don't win flags

 

[outabounds]

Fact: Collingwood lost last night
Opinion: They may have got a bit ahead of themselves before last night.

In hindsight I'm glad for the reality check. The loss still hurts but there's still some learning to do. I think teams getting on H&A 'streaks' tend to think they're better than they are.

I think avoiding Geelong in the finals would be a good thing, St Kilda, despite recent results, not so much.

don't worry, they will still be there when the last 4 play off for a spot in the GF and anything can happen after that- thats my opinion of course!
