Do you honestly think that we will win a flag before Carlton does?

[ThePheonix]

Interesting point.

I can't remember what year they acquired Ottens. Think it was end of 2005?

And that is the main concern I have, can we win a GF without a gun ruckman? There might be some similarities with Geelong but they had a gun ruckman. And from memories he helped them beat Collingwood in the 2007 prelim. Without him I believe we would of won, or should I say if we had a gun ruckman in 2007 we would of won.

Somehow I'm grateful that we've only lost 2 games so far. If this is how we react after each loss, I sure hope we don't lose anymore games.

We're overreacting a bit, no?

Geelong played awesome football last night, but they had to play awesome football to beat us. Surely that's a positive reflection on how much we've progressed no? It wasn't a walk in the park, ala last preliminary final.

Carlton are a good side, but we are still a step ahead of them. They threw it at us a few weeks ago, and we still smashed them.

Calm down, FFS.

Lol i know how much overreaction is there here WOW, were 7-2 and 2nd on the ladder, a 36 point loss to one of the greatest teams ever is nothing to give up on.

It is quite possible. They have at least 4 players who in 1 or 2 years could be top 10 players in the league in Kreuzer, Judd( already is of course), Murphy and Gibbs.

Would need for Judd to be fit and healthy though.

Gibbs won't be top ten. Sidebottom, Beams, Wellingham. Thomas, Dick and Pendles are on the up and up.

Jud is right now maybe at his peak. And they are still middle of the road. You can't replace players like him. Without him they are a bad football side.

Last time we played them we belted them too. I am no to concenred.

Not after todays performance ha ha ha.

 

[danielnajdek]

Um YES!! Carlton were exposed today for what they are!!Bloody hopeless

 

[DThomas]

I think we all saw who the real pretenders are today.

7 of our best 22 were missing today not to include the 3 down on the bench after a trip to Adelaide. Yes we lost, but we were clearly underdone. Hawks proved they are better then people think.

Nothing like watching Carlton get thumped to cheer up thousands of Collingwood supporters.

Please tell me these 7 that will be in your best 22.

And tell me who they will replace.

And the Hawks are shit, should have lost to the Tigers last week, the 0-9 Tigers. Yet today they smashed you.

Haha love it Opti. No team with a spud like Setanta as the main target up forward could seriously push for a flag, let alone top 4. We are a thousand miles ahead. Don't give up on us this year just yet peoples.

What rubbish. Carlton were at 92% full strength without Waite, Walker, Bower and maybe McLean from their best team even though he int any good. Hawthorn were at 93% full strength and were without Bateman, Ladson, Gibson, Taylor and maybe Bailey from their best team. There are no excuses for Carlton who were just thrashed by nine goals by a team that had won only two matches and their last win was a three point win over Richmond. Carlton has played Hawthorn into form and the Blues are a long way from being a finals threat.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I think Carlton might pinch it this year.

Only because I think they'll sneak into the 4, and have shown they can beat both Geelong AND St.Kilda.

I don't think anyone else is anywhere NEAR good enough.

I mean, with a proper coach we'd be good enough, but we have to wait another season for him to start.

I know there's a llot of knee jerk going on now, but seriously, if we had just switched to man on man in the 3rd quarter, we probably could have won that game.

Frustrating to watch such a stubborn old goat continue to contribute to failure on the big stage. Not to mention, as I posted BEFORE the game, MM had already cost us the game at the selection table.

 

[Marvel 21]

I would be so sick if they did win one b4 the pies. I guess the great outcome would be them knocking of the cats in the prelim & the pies smash the saints & then to give the blues a touch up in the granny.
look forward to the rematch against the cats in 10 weeks. i think they are abit like the dons of 1990, slowly they will tire out.

This thread is petulant at best and a childish cheap shot that serves no purpose then to invite carlton trolls to the board. Safe to say, I'm shutting it down.
