We are Collingwood. We don't eat our own!

Oh, and I hope we face Carlton in the finals. There is nothing I would love more than breaking their hearts in a finals match.

I'm not worried about them one bit!

Actually there is a point, if you reflect on it you might find out what's going wrong. I'm pointing out that we're sitting here not 12 months after we lost a flag because the players did the exact same thing. Just write it off and move on? We lost a flag because we didn't cry over spilt milk when we lost to Geelong twice, and thus we didn't learn anything from it and lost AGIAN when it mattered. Cry goddamnit because it might mean the difference between winning a flag and coming runners up.

Or we could just do the whole "Meh we'll beat them when it matters" thing again and watch the flag slip from our grasp yet again when we meet Carlton in a knockout final, that'll be fun.

But Carlton are no threat like geelong were there's a difference.

Dane Swan said it best:

I think that's a real cop out attitude, I love swanny as much as anyone but we need to hurt from these lossess, learn from them and get the hunger back next week. It cost us last year being so relaxed. We need some real intensity over the next fee weeks not just an attitude of "it'll just happen"

Read my other posts in response to this.

And the intensity will come back. We face Geelong and then Hawthorn. Beat them and that should get them back on track in time for a dominant finals series.

I think people are reading way too much into what Swan and others are saying. Because someone says there's no point crying over spilt milk does not mean they're not hurt by it. Nor does it mean they will not do everything they can to turn it around. Methinks there are way too many mind readers around here!

Arrogance of the highest degree. People were saying the same thing about Geelong and we paid the ultimate price for it. You should be praying with everything you've got that Carlton don't meet us in the finals because they will beat us 100%, they have our measure and have proven it twice, just like Geelong did last year, end of story.

But Carlton are no threat like geelong were

They might not win the flag but they can obviously beat us, and we obviously can't beat them.
It's just so annoying and frustrating having the same crap spouted that was last year. "Don't worry guys we can beat Geelong in the finals for sure! We'll switch into top gear and have been foxing with them, hur hur hur", you'd think a GF loss would teach the lesson but nope here we are not a year later saying "Don't worry guys we can beat Carlton in the finals for sure!" derp de derp derp.

No, not arrogance. I've always been extremely optimistic and positive, and this loss isn't going to change that. I couldn't disagree more with this. We WILL beat them if we face them again. I have no doubt in my mind.

They might not win the flag but they can obviously beat us, and we obviously can't beat them.

Rubbish. That's all I have to say.

That's right because being an arrogant supporter will have a serious effect on how the team plays! Really Zahki, lay off the booze a bit will ya?

Yeah, take a chill pill, bro.

F*ck me. How quickly do things change on this board? I've seen it all before on here the last 6 years and we inevitably come back and kick arse. These are the type of posts that get bumped later on and we all laugh at how worked up we got.

Calm down, it's just one loss...after winning 10 in a row!

 

[PieNSauce]

Honestly, do some of you not see the joy you are currently bringing to the hearts of Carlton supporters right now? If I were a Carlscum supporter (please wash my mouth out) I would be jubilant. Not ony have they taken our points but they have some of us believing that the world has ended. FFS it's a footy match, we've lost 1 in 11. Some of you seem to be happy to be Carlton's bitches, my club is not and I am not!

That's exactly right. The sky is not falling. The world is not ending. Our season is not crumbling. We are not finished.

We are going to get back on track, and I'm going to enjoy being able to say that I stuck with them side by side after everyone started doubting us. Carn the mighty Pies!

They'd beat us again, like they do in finals over and over again.

No, they won't. I'll bump this thread if we face them in the finals.

 

[Cory]

Not sure if some of these posters are Collingwood supporters.

 

[DThomas]

I know! What's with all these posters that I've never seen on here before coming out of the woodwork whenever we lose, but are nowhere to be seen when we are doing well?

 

[PieNSauce]

Go back to the Carlscum board where you belong.

 

[Captivating]

No, they won't. I'll bump this thread if we face them in the finals.

Statistics heavily favour my point of view.

P 22, W 8 lost 14, including 1 win from 6 in GF's

You must be another Dawes apologist.

Yeah, I suspect that you are a troll, but statistics don't mean shit. Just because it has happened in the past doesn't mean it will continue happening. The last time we played Carlton in a final was in 1988.

These statistics have no relevance in 2012.

When you don't even have the decency to wear your own teams colours when coming onto our board you'll get no credibility. **** off

You came from Nicks BB Captivating? I've seen you with the same avatar and name on there.

 

[Mateyman]

I agree with the OP. I'm more interested in how we bounce back. It sucks we lost and I was and am majorly disappointed, but I think there are a lot of knee jerk reactions around. Geelong were consistently better than us last year,and (although I wasn't poster) I never thought we were a better team. I hope Carlton don't make the finals (for our own sake), but I don't think we should necessarily write off our season on the back of 1 terrible performance, when every team has had at least one of these. It's a shame 2 of our losses have been against Carlton, but I don't think we should write our season off.

In 2012, we're 0-2 against the scum, so how can you not be even a little worried? Especially after 2011 when we lost to the Cats twice in H&A and then lost again in the finals.

 

[Cory]

But Carlton won't make it as far as a Elimination final.

Typical response to those with heads in the sand. Must be a troll. I must **** off.
