    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    What bollocks. Collingwood have still won more games, played in more finals and Grand Finals than any other team since that time. As I said, we had a good run with converting prior to your arbitrary cut off, and a poor run since. That's commonly referred to as 'swings and roundabouts', but...

    Mega Thread Nick Daicos - Can he be the GTWEB? Part 2

    So a player with 5 x top 4 finishes in the 3 major awards, together with fewer and inferior finals performances, has outperformed a player with 9 x top 4 finishes? And that's just 'for starters'? Who are the others? Edit: Lolol - I've seen your nominations. Any others? Does Daicos squeeze...

    Carlton's finals aspirations for 2026

    And then there are those that buy the narrative that Carlton will be a better team with the three players because they'll be 'more balanced and dynamic'....

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Absolutely. Paul Roos said it best when he briefly took over the Melbourne team. You pick your best list each year, and pick your best 23 each week. He doesn't get enough credit for what Melbourne did in 2021, but it was him that set them on the right trajectory.

    Coaches didn't think so. Players didn't think so. One single final where his team was smashed. Sorry. 1. Heeney 2. Neale But Cripps finds the podium in third place.

    Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

    Thank God we still gave these guys on the list! Imagine if we listened to the Cliffers and delisted them? We'd be in all sorts for the first few games!

    By all metrics, his season output over the last three seasons in totality has been better than any other player in the competition. I understand the truth hurts, but you really have to accept it. Brownlow - 3rd, 2nd, 2nd Players MVP - 2nd, 4th, 1st Coaches MVP - 2nd, 1st, 4th 9 x top 4...

    Yeah.... A team that has played in 20 of the last 25 finals series, 2 flags and 6 Grand Finals. Develop players as well as any other team in the comp. Geelong, Collingwood and Sydney have been the three constants of the 21st century.

    Banter FOOTY Banter! - Who will be better in 2026? Carlton or Collingwood Part 9

    And the only reason we think it will be five wins, is that there will invariably two of those wins with asterisks. Dead Rubbers, opposition resting players, or dubious umpiring...

    Mega Thread Nick Daicos - Can he be the GTWEB? Part 2

    Yeah, it really is silly of teams like Collingwood, Geelong and Sydney to use their development teams to develop their young players, instead of using their AFL teams to gift games to players before they're ready, in the way a number of teams who are permanent fixtures in the bottom half of the...
