Fact - Collingwood still sits second on the ladder, and comfortably in the top 4.

Fact - Collingwood is still the 2nd favourites for the flag.

Fact - Collingwood was beaten by the best side in the AFL in Round 9.

Fact - Collingwood kept Geelong under 100 points for only the 2nd time this year. (Carlton was the first in their victory over the Cats)


Anyone else care to share facts? Or just your own personal opinion?

Thats your opinion, its not fact.
Actually, it is fact. Collingwood average about 80 points less a game in their two losses to last year's grand finalists than they have in their 7 wins.

If that's not the definition of 'flat track bullies' I don't know what is.

Here's another fact too. In the last 4 games against Geelong, Collingwood have been kept goalless in a quarter.

In the 2009 NAB Cup final and the Round 3 game last year, Collingwood didn't score a goal in the 2nd term. In the preliminary final and last night, they didn't score a goal in the last term. Just goes to show they can play well against Geelong in patches, but when Geelong up the ante, Collingwood can't go with them.

I wonder, If the Pies made the Grand Final on the Friday night, but the 2nd Preliminary Final on the Saturday, was St Kilda V Geelong, would they even show up on Grand Final day?

Fact: Collingwood lost last night
Opinion: They may have got a bit ahead of themselves before last night.

In hindsight I'm glad for the reality check. The loss still hurts but there's still some learning to do. I think teams getting on H&A 'streaks' tend to think they're better than they are.

I think avoiding Geelong in the finals would be a good thing, St Kilda, despite recent results, not so much.

don't worry, they will still be there when the last 4 play off for a spot in the GF and anything can happen after that- thats my opinion of course!
