Collingwood 995 losses....who will they lose their 1000th game to?

[brad5668]

I noticed on AFL Tables that Collingwood are currently sitting on 995 losses since 1897. Unless they hit form quickly their 1000th loss will be happening this year. Who do you think it will be against?
If I was a betting man, I would say Sydney or Port Adelaide.

Another thousand in the next 50 years would be nice. I’m not cruel as that still gives their fanbase two wins a season.

Not a bad result over 125 years. Averaging less than 8 losses in the home and away plus making finals most years (which means another loss unless you win the flag).

Played an extra 28 seasons and Hawthorn still managed to get there before us

Port Adelaide clocked up the 1000th loss for Collingwood today. The last of the foundation clubs to do so and in fact, the last Victorian club to do so.
