I can see Collingwood make back to back grand finals
Prediction Collingwood for a 3-peat? Too early?

If it works for Kane Cornes it works for me. In my defence it's mostly his team's fault.

I could see Collingwood out in straight sets across the finals over the next few years.

Doesn't help for them that Sidebottom got injured and De Goey suspended.
They struggles started the game after De Goey's out so I expect them to bounce back when he returns.

Collingwood hasn't exactly put teams to the sword this season and at times looked ordinary against Adelaide for the 2nd time this year. With Port and Brisbane hovering around the top 4, the last thing the Pies need is to end up playing their first final interstate. They still have some work to do this season let alone the next three. They have a difficult run home, they could actually lose 3 or 4 of them?
True, OP never stipulated whether Collingwood win or lose.
Get the feeling this is their year.
If not, they'll never win it

I had not thought that you would devote yourself to watching a modern finals campaign for the last decade or two.
I suppose your past encounters with teams fading in the latter half of the year have provided you with this insight.

With a challenge system where you got do-overs after losing Grand Finals.
Would have been handy in the 70s.

Imagine if those do overs were still a thing today
The Pies would be 15-2-40 in grand finals

Does the club still sell VHS tapes? Or have they switched to something more modern quarter of a century later?

At least their flags are mostly in colour

One day they will get to double digits. Mind you the rear view mirror is pretty big at that club, not the windshield.

Think your onto something here. Pies will be 3peat losing grand finalists. Did the 2peat in 2003 just to stuff it up in 2004.
Said the same in 2011. it was ridiculous in hindsight then And at that point they lost only 2 games all season, had a percentage of 160 and already had won a flag. The pies right now are nothing in comparison to that side. Probably wont win the flag this year.
You dont want to be blowing teams away in June.
Hawks 2012, they had 8 60+ point wins and finished the year with a % of 155...but they didnt win the flag.
Geelong 2008, they had 8 60+ point wins and finished the year with a % of 162...but they didnt win the flag.
Hawks of 2013, they only had 2 60+ point wins and finished the year with a % of 135...they were premiers.
Geelong of 2009, they only had 4 60+ point wins and finished the year with a % of 127...they were premiers.
Pies to date have had 3 60+ point wins and currently have a % of 132.
Like that the Pies a tracking along closer to Hawks 2013 /Cats 2009 instead of the Hawks 2012 / Cats 2008 that were blowing sides away during H&A.
I still have these somewhere, watched each of them dozens of times, not for over 10 years now though.... ah memories is all we have, hopefully I live long enough to witness the next one.
Clearly they are a special decade
