I shouldn’t bite, but I will.

Collingwood +57 contested possessions and +17 tackles. How are you meant to get free kicks when you refuse to contest for the footy or lay tackles?

Pay the umps of course

Once again pies shown favor by the umps, all Collingwood wins should have a * next to them.

Bit hard to * Cats wins in 2023

2022 qualifying final literally the most fixed final of all time

No one was stopping Gary Rohan that night, least of all the Collingwood backline.

Are you new to footy, or did you sign up after Geelong's flag?

Collingwood’s style and confidence will be unstoppable this year. They’ll be top 2, get 3 finals at the G, and win the flag with ease. It’s cue in the rack stuff already.

I’ve picked a left field contender in Port, and maybe they’ll be up there, but nobody is stopping Collingwood. It’s an Essendon 2000 scenario.

Can you let us know who's winning the Brownlow too? Think the odds this time of year would still be pretty good to put some cash down.

Probably Nick Daicos.

It’s pretty obvious that Collingwood are miles ahead of the pack.

It's March, people fall for this every. Single. Year. Get back to this in August mate.

How much coin did we have to swing them yesterday to make up 71 points? Getting costly

I see other posts have mentioned the Demons last year.

Every year people get sucked in by the autumn premiers.

Pies look sensational.
Let's see how we all are at halfway point.
There may be a surprise competitor or 2 that will emerge between now and then.
There are also the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune to play out.

People always overestimate on the unbeatable stuff. Richmond can't be beaten, Geelong can't be beaten... etc, until they are are. In reality it's a game of fine margins and most of the top recent teams have just had a blessed run with injuries. Already with a Howe out, there is a massive chink in the armor for us. As others have said, a team with dominant big forwards will cause trouble - even yesterday, from limited opportunities, Dixon was a handful and we have try out Frampton. If that doesn't work and Moore has to go more defensive we are in trouble - Moore going out himself would dramatically change the team. We've got some depth now, but definitely not 'unstoppable.'
