Has all the alcohol brought out the sooks today?

There seems to be a lot of navel gazing going on.

I only sook in the absence of alcohol.

Articles in today's papers suggest they have pretty well fixed that problem

It still happened. Where as we have made more finals than any other team. We are a great club.

I totally agree. Whether you liked him or loathed him, the infamous Carlton president, George Harris once stated after Carlton had won the 1968, 1970, 1972 & 1979 Premierships, respectively:

"If you come 2nd then you might as well come last!"

I like that attitude of not accepting but being totally contemptuous of 2nd best!

That is what I think & since 2010 we have achieved nothing as a football club. Premiership cups are all that matters. The rest is all white noise that in 5, 10, 20 or 30 years nobody remembers. The problem is that Collingwood accepts mediocrity far too easily & everybody is just too comfortable & we historically have been happy to make far too many excuses. We need - the club that is - needs a total rocket to shake the place up as 2010 will soon be a decade away. So you you are right. We may be a well recognised & very popular club but we are not great. I look forward to rhe forthcoming critiques. Bye.

Absolutely, but some people on here say I have to be happy to just make it and not go all the way.

Really, all of us want flags, but everyone handles it differently.

Not for Pies - we can't even do 2 packs

We did once, may do so again one day...but in the meantime the beer is flowing like the tears of the Collingwood BF board.

Incredible run towards the finals by the Tigers, really cranked it up at the right time. They're a good team, and I can't think of another team in the comp which would have beaten them today.

As far as I know the 2020 season hasn't been cancelled, so hopefully our boys can take a leaf from Richmond's book by turning the prelim final pain of one year into premiership glory the next.

Yeah but how many would have at least turned up, dare I say it Carlton would have shown more. GWS were embarrassing.

I don't think that any team would have beaten the Tiges yesterday, but I agree that every other team would likely have given them a harder time. The Giants were indeed woeful.

Well if it only was a Richmond/Collingwood grand final
Win lose or draw
We would have been more competitive than GWS
We really need to recruit some talent in our Mid/forward region
As we are the only threat to Richmond
Gee another Dane Swan would be inspirational

So far the Tigers are looking to build a dynasty
And we need to curb that

Cmon Pies
Season officially over

and the worst part is , I live a street away from Victoria Park

The squatters are settling in
Behind coaches box

We have elite talent in JDG, Moore, Grundy and Stephenson that should be around for the next five years. They will be where it’s at, what can we bring in to support them. I still believe we are a big chance next year and the transition into the next phase could be seamless.

I would love another Dane Swan, JFTR

They were cooked, they were half cooked last week and the conditions we didn’t handle and our lack of ruthlessness got them through. Richmond is a good side and ground away until they broke them.

I will change my stance to a "Collingwood is a great club who under achieves" does that make you feel better?

I don’t really care what you say dude. Collingwood have given me some of the best moments in my life. That will never change.

Greenwood, De Goey and Cox
May have made the difference overall to get us in the GF
 
Richmond would have beaten us yesterday, the prelim loss is definitely a blessing in disguise. That game last week took the steam out of GWS, would have done the same to us. Tough game
We need a healthy list next season. I pray to the gods for this as we can beat anyone

For example, 1977 was listed as another Collingwood failure, and the loss after leading by 27 at 3/4 time was heartbreaking, but that season after the horror of 1976 was an absolute joy to watch for a young fella like me.
You can’t win the flag every year, only 1 side can, but footy gives you so much more than the balance sheet of the season. Every supporter would like a better premiership count and we’ve given a few a shake we had no right too, I’ll always love them for that even though they were losses.

Carlton know plenty about coming last.
