I know we'd all like to think that we are tanking, kind of keeps us sane.

But lets face it, we're just crap.

I've never seen a side that can have so many players that are just incapable of hitting a target by foot.

Licuria is so overrated its not funny. Woewodin is useless, O'bree irrititates me just watching him run around.

Fanning is not a footballers asshole. So many players just not up to AFL standard. And I hold our coach responsible. We've had 2-3 years to fix up our well known deficiencies in the ruck. And what do we have.....an 18/19 y.o skinny pole who is glaringly not up to AFL standards.

Our club has become a joke! And it breaks my heart!

Pathetic....Malthouse has to go. His gameplan is absolutely sh(thouse.

Typical bandwagoner :)

When your 2 most important players dont play 20 out of 22 rounds you know your in trouble

Bandwagoner?

I've been to almost every game for the past 25 years.

Mate, stop deluding yourself. Every team has injuries ffs.

Nothing, I repeat nothing can justify that performance I had to sit through today.

Why do you accept mediocritiy. When exactly did we become Stkilda??

gotta agree definetly with Lestat ..!

there's no 'bandwagon' about it ! ...it's just been realistic & non delusional..simple ! if everyone had this denial ignorant attitude - we'd be deluding ourselves for years.

i've mixed feelings with the Malthouse coach thing ..i must say though.

i believe ,to a point - with the players we have...and the level scale they once entered into ...any player should REALISE that within themselves, they should know what they have to do without having to be told.
( i've always had a certain thing about some coaching area's - and what should come naturally as a dedicated footballer - rather than actually being babied about the obvious) .

i'm starting to feel sorry for N.Buckley now...with the amount of effort he's put in throughout the years & within the club - he ends up with this lot and with what must seem "now" ...very unseeable rewards,at least not soon anyway.( he ain't got that much long left :rolleyes: )
this should never have happened to our team so soon...every team has it's low's , but this has been waaaay too premature, and with very worrying player list potentual ...so far that i can see .

it's about time we got our Freakin' reputation back and stop farting around with completely unexplainable reasons as to why we ended up like this !

( which ..in itself, i truelly can't answer - same with Essendon to a point ..we've both got the experience and potentually plenty left...i've no idea whats happened to either team ) ...but there's something majorly wrong right now !!! and totally unecceptable. :mad:

Depleted through injuries. We can't do anything. OK, yes we're crap but the way things are shaping up, it's healthier for us to lose rather than win. :(

I would prefer my team playing really bad than deliberately tanking.
Sure you can rest as many players as you want but if you go to the game deliberately playing crap that just destroys the integrity of the sport.

You Pie supporters should be utterly ashamed of your team and club for deliberately not tryong to win any more games this season in order to secure an extra priority draft pic. Its a bloody disgrace and it brngs SHAME to your supposedly proud club. The AFL has to stop this farce and end the extra draft pic that rewards mediocrity.

everyone who supports collingwood has to stop making excusses, you cant just hide form the facts. This year, we deserve to be bottom, apart from a couple of players (clement, licuria... etc..) we have really played sh)t
