Do Bradburys really count?

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

That Collingwood won flags following the war years is actually remarkable given the number of their players that died during the war effort

How many compared to Melbourne and Richmond?
I think your issues with our flags have more to do with who our opponents were for the majority and less to do with the circumstances in which they were won.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

No, it has more to do with this lame troll from before our lifetimes, when Melbourne were more successful over the same period

How many compared to Melbourne and Richmond?

Like I said, it’s warped to only consider the number of deaths and ignore the number who served, or were injured

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Yes similarly in that they missed seasons during war time.

…for completely different reasons, the latter of which had nothing to do with GFC’s contribution the the ‘war effort’

Why would I mention those teams when I'm denigrating your s**t truck organisation

Exactly. You’re too busy engaging in your usual But but Collingwooding

their pissweak efforts to achieve success in the living memory of 80% of the Australian population

And here you are again hoist by your own petard, because you credit Geelol for making finals 15 out of the last 16 years even though they only won 1 GF over the last 10 season

despite (so they tell us) being the biggest club in the land

We claim to be the biggest because we are. You claim to be the greatest because… you make finals consistently, while denigrating other teams who do that better

And just to underline your hypocrisy, denigrate - the word you chose to describe your posts - means to defame or criticize unfairly

Which is exactly what you are doing to all the people who served but didn’t die - just so you can score some cheap points on an Internet forum

Because all Sav does is deflect deflect deflect and talk about anything else other than fave Pies failures

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

Dude you’ve been deflecting since the day you signed up here during which time Carltank have played checks notes 0 finals

Solid melt Sav

Sorry, forgot that you don’t like facts

Melbourne won 1 flag prior to WW1 and 11 after it/WW2, and 1 in recent times

So by the logic being presented here, they’re the biggest coward flogs in the history of footy

You've got 3 weeks to work on some new material. Try and make it at least a little bit funny this time.

 

[Saveloy Rockstar]

You’ve got 4 weeks to win your first final in a decade

Oh dear that is quite a solid melt, Spreaders

I think someone's mad that despite being the "biggest" club in the land, there are only two flags (lol and 3 spoons) in 65 years

It's OK. You're really far ahead of the comp this year. You're going to add another flag:



Collingwood will put the cue in the rack and Brisbane will win tonight, setting the Wobbles into motion.

Enjoy it, Mrs MacGregor

Cool we made the finals, watch out here come the Tigers...oh hang on

"Oh hang on, the Tigers didn't make it"

- how it's ended most years for the past 40

 

[Footy Is The Win]

While we are at it, what about teams who have never backed up their flag, should they really count?

If you've never gone b2b then get the hell out of this fred!

Except when were lucky enough to play Geelong in finals then its.

Not every team needs to clog the finals year after year solely on the back of cheat ground wins like the Cats, why so needy?

 

[QuietB]

That's a bloody good point. I reckon we could get Robbo ranting on about it on 360 with enough encouragement. That's my mission for the next 6 months.

The only draft the Wobblers don't dodge is the AFL National Draft.

#CollingwoodDraftDodgers

Alternatively the army could bayonet Robbo on the MCG on ANZAC day to show the kiddies the benefits horrors of war.

Just a thought.

 

[MAXIMUM GRUNDAGE]

Melbourne were more successful

Quoted for posterity.

3 flags that nobody respects and 40 years of irrelevance otherwise. Incredible.

If Bradbury's don't count then we had a threepeat at best or b2b at worst.

How's the game?

Careful you will trigger a few sensitive souls by pointing out its a moral 3peat

I do understand our flag against the cats might lack respect, Finals and Richmond are a combination that doesn't sit well with Geelong, so that one was pretty much a given.

Respect is a funny thing it really only matters when it comes from someone you yourself respect.

Or was it Geelong that had 3 Bradburys?

Then why did your fans melt so hard at the disrespect in Cotchins retirement thread

 

[TheCatStevensExperience]

Well yes, Collingwood in a grand final is basically a Bradbury so there's at least one.

There are so few recent examples, I'm not sure how you can draw that conclusion - perhaps 4 or 5 in the last 40 years? Geelong have been playing finals for most of that period so...not sure what the hold up has been

I love that this thread exists so much.

Even moreso that the OP is a Pies supporter.
