It is a regular thing Wormy, for the Pies to be talked down and written off
You know why? Because they're all JEALOUS of us
Reality will hit them soon enough, season isn't far off now

Do Collingwood need to enter a rebuild phase?

I'll keep it here thanks mate and if you read this thread there is plenty of evidence such as an aging group and plenty of untried youngsters.Take it to the banter thread sport
There may be a cliff coming someday but there is no evidence to suggest it is here or even close
Still playing well in finals and have the comp's best player, a true generational talent
Plus we're a destination club
Look up and you'll see us

That sounds like a "premiership window"

Experts say you have a one season premiership window so lets see which one of your youngsters stands up.That sounds like a "premiership window"

Itāll be a cold day in hell before anyone takes advice from Carlton supporters on what a good AFL list looks like.
Are you referencing experts on "The Front Bar"?

We've got a one season premiership window EVERY year

Never watched it mate, the experts all seem to be on the same page though regarding the Pies premiership window.

Players get older every year as well mate, a bit of urgency is required now.
Who are you taking advice from ?

Which senior players had dips in form?
We were written off as no good and too old after losing rd0 to GWS. But then after that got in top 4 and stayed their for the remainder of the season in 2025.
Harrison, McInnes and Ed Allan haven't played 25 games yet...if they were at Essendon they probably would have all played way more games to date.
So now they haven't got exposure and are not rated externally. That doesn't guarantee they won't make it.
And again that has nothing to do with the aging veterans and your made up tipping point.

I think there are plenty of exceptions and many players, both older than 25 and under 25, who have scope for improvement from what they provided the Pies on field in 2025
That is the brilliance of list management.
You don't solely need kids to mature (as most people know, most 18 yr old draftees don't make it).
We don't need to rely on having 3 draftees be a success every year - you can add mature senior players to the list.
By the way, who were the three trade targets we missed out on?
So what's new? We've lived this all our lives. The fact that all other clubs hate us and want us to fail.....is our oxygen. Keep going.
As opposed to the evidence of finals again ??
Which experts are you quoting.....giving us even a one year window...blasphomy!

Harrison and Allan will be servicable foot soldiers. Mcinnes im not sold on.
Jiath will be a bust i reckon. Are there any others ?

Leigh Montagna says: āI hope theyāre pragmatic and realistic with where theyāre at. I think they are in a rebuild for a number of years. Theyāve got a long way to go because theyāve got to phase out their stars while theyāre trying to acquire some draft talent. We know theyāre going to get Daicos this year, but theyāre not getting in a cluster of picks. Theyāre still a work in progress.ā

PIes just entering our window according to the fox experts!!
And good to know that the severe cliff that the experts predicted Geelong would meet in 2021 is now where the Pies find themselves.

There are 21 players on our list who are yet to play 25 AFL games.
Happy for you to give your judgement on which are going to come good and which won't.
It was the 2021 version of the premiership window, article from the fox footy "experts".
But then in 2022

Collingwood will have another premiership window later on this decade given the youth thatās starting to emerge, but in terms of their current one, itās probably open for a maximum of two years. Key to that assessment are the likes of Scott Pendlebury, Steele Sidebottom and Jeremy Howe, who are playing very good football still but could start to break down as they get to their mid-30s. It seems as though 2021 was an outlier season and this side is still right among premiership contention. With a good mix of old and young, the Pies should be aiming high in the next year or two before a more long-term approach begins.
Premiership window: 2023-2024
