Collingwood are anything but shoe-ins, are they in trouble?

[Corn Cobbers]

This is a Collingwood thread, Corn

What will you do Corn, respond in a similar fashion based on who a poster supports?

Stick to the thread topic

Collingwood are in serious trouble

A Carlton fan brought Carlton into the thread, then you told me off for talking about Carlton in response, addressing the matter, another self-own

Tell you one thing, if they lose to us next week, then they WILL be in serious trouble.

And McFly better not repeat his boundary verbals against Ken, as he has the time to bite back (as Carr is coaching).
Rather than a plane, what fine would he get for making fun of Collingwood’s age profile?

Agreed.

I expect a bounce back at home.

The only X factor that could break it open is Hinkley. He loves exerting misery.

List is a shambles …

I understand the excitement of the powerhouse team of the competition having a bad game, but I just hope we don't have too many more games this season where we kick 4 goals 13 behinds to start the game against one of the best interstate teams in the competition at their home ground...

Missing there best mid fielder and best key forwards.

Daicos will surely play, just a cramp.

If he does then they should account for port pretty comfortably.

Stinger particularly was a big out.

Keep nuffing it up.

Depends on the comparison, Cox?

Oh that's right, Long to play a full game

Careful, you'll attract a response based on your team

Hogan kicked 70 goals last season and is arguably the best forward in the AFL. Tom Green there best mid.

Stringer and Riccardi are also going to be important

So 'Stringer', not 'Stinger'?

Thanks for clearing that up.

 

[CCurnow3picks]

They’d need to get permission to trade a future 1st again, I believe - like you said.

They also need a decent pick to get F/S McGuane.

They need to win the flag this year to make this roll of the dice worth it.

Not off to a great start are they..

It’s a slippery-slope;

How much of a shambles? You are talking about Carlton right?

 

[BillytheLid]

I’m no Collingwood apologist but I find the pile on after just one game quite extraordinary. Were far from their best but played one of the flag favourites on their deck. Albeit the Giants had a few out, the Pies will be much better with De Goey and Houston in the team. Won’t win the flag but would be surprised if they are not at least competing for a spot in the 8. After one round I’m not buying into the “Pendlebury is too old & slow” and “Daicos is a downhill skier” narrative.

 

[3KZ is Football]

Good thing thr season goes for 23 games, and not 1.

Brisbane supporters of all posters should realise that.

Totally agree. We were terrible at the start last of year, but we were coming into the season with an enormous reserve of youth to tap and they dragged us back into the year. Logan Morris and Kai Lohmann started getting regular games, Ashcroft came back, Wilmot continued to improve and we had cameos from Brain and Bruce Reville, who at 24 years of age is the oldest of those players. We had a Plan B, I just can’t see Collingwood’s.

All that said, feel free to call me out big time when you turn your season around.

Burnt your goal kicking accuracy in a meaningless pre season game

It's not one game.. it's been happening since the off-season and prior.

A lot is driven by insecure Carlton supporters.

Collingwood's inaccuracy wasn't of their own making, they simply couldn't get decent shots on goal due to to how well GWS were defensively.
