Are we the new Geelong?

[PiedPiper]

Hi hate to say this, as on o the Collingwood faithful, but when we lose in the GF twice in a row, you have to ask yourself, isn't this a reminder of Geelong in the 80's/90's? An uncomfortable thought, yes.

So terribly sorry. Holland should be dropped.

 

[^Eagle^]

yep!

 

[guess_who]

Why for crying out loud, he played one bad game. SO did many others.....Four weeks ago you loved him for towling up all sorts of midfilders

Exactly. Holland is our tagger, and did a fantastic job in the second half of the year. He was effective enough to make his opponent feel frustrated (eg broken nose against Camporeale, Nick Stevens's strike which resulted in two weeks)

People like this really annoy me. Someone plays one bad game and he gets the label of being 'useless' Brodie Holland is a good tagger and goalsneak. One game means nothing. We wouldnt be feilding a team if people were judged on one game.

People like that really annoy me too, but unfortunately, you have made a similar error. The fact that you say "one game means nothing" is laughable. That was the Grand Final, the thing that the players have aimed toward all year. It means everything Finals are where you are ultimately judged, and its why we failed so dismally. Just wish we could have those 120 minutes again and I'm sure Brodie does too.

Btw, I'm for keeping Brodie, he had a great second half and took some very good scalps. If he keeps the right mindset, he can do it again too.

I'm a fan of his too, but don't forget, the "good goalsneak" tag is based on one game too.

You're not the new Geelong. You lost more Grand Finals before they did. Geelong of 89-95 should be labelled the New Collingwood. Not bagging you, but just answering the topic.

 

[PiedPiper]

Well, haven't I put a few noses out of joint! He isn't the greatest player, and I'm not judging him on the basis of one game. I though Neon was atrocious during last years' GF, but I still want him kept on the team.

Lighten up people, I love the club as much as the next feral, but it isn't the be all and end all. Have a nice day

Unfortunately I have one blue eye and one white eye and have done so all my life. I have followed Geelong through thick & thin (more thin of late) You never do get over GF losses - they hurt and they don't go away. Collingwood supporters have had much more to chear about lately than us Geelong faithful. Don't go labelling yourselves the new Geelong that is an unfair tag on us. You guys have lost the last two GF's to possibly the best side of all time. You cant be to disapointed - At least you were there!

 

[dickkyboy]

As Collingwood supporters it is tme to take stock...

Two GF losses... Ok... But,

We were probably lucky last year - could have won the flag when form towards the end of the year indicated that we shouldn't have made it... Just terrific finals form.

This year - disappointing - but alot of changes and still a young team... Lots to look forward to.

There are 14 other teams in the league that would swap positions with us in a heartbeat.
