Uh.. it's actually the other way around. Look at the replay of the whole game and tell me Saints played their best. Collingwood were the ones who played their usual wings well, applied their usual pressure and kicked it inside 50 sixty-plus times. On the other hand, Saints were terrible with...
It was so frustrating and disappointing to hear such things after last years Grand Final that Harry Taylor had demolished Nick Riewoldt, Taylor deserved a norm smith medal, Taylor knows how to stop Riewoldt's influence. It was a wet day, how did they expect Riewoldt to have an influence in those...
Notice how EVERY Collingwood poster in this thread goes out of their way to write us off. It's really just pathetic now. What is this obsession with us?
Thanks to those who have commented on the vid :thumbsu:

I still believe with better conditions and better supply he could kick bags against the 'lesser' teams
Drop Baker? Are you kidding me? He is possibly the most reliable out there most weeks, he can shut down virtually anyone.
I'm sorry but if you think Raph is up to the level of 'Saints footy' then you are deluded. It's not the fact that we hate him for no reason, but there are simply better...
