May as well finish the season now. Sydney are obviously impossible to beat.

I love this quote by Einstein.

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Underrated/overlooked point. We haven't had our first-choice backline available all year, but we've managed to hold it together. Frost and Langdon in particular have been immense.

Seedsman first game back too. Not too late for him to make a charge for the Brownlow.

lets see how long until Collingwood supporters realize their team is not a threat: maybe after the Hawks thrash them in 3 weeks maybe after they get beaten by Carlton a week after that

Carlton?

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

We will be a threat right up until the Semi Finals should we manage top four. After then anything can happen.

Hawks are obviously a challenge and we play them twice. Agree we will probabaly need to win one of those two games, and/or beat Port (home) or the Suns (away).

At the moment 2nd through 8th cant be seperated. Only Port can be comfortably pencilled in for a top four spot. HAwks too due to a good percentage but they currently have some injury and form issues.

If you're not a clear top 2 side, may as well just forfeit the rest of the season, right?

Carlton?

beaten by Adelaide and gifted 4 points by the umpires against WCE. lets not act like it will be a 1 sided game
and is Carlton beating Collingwood as far-fetched as Collingwood beating Sydney?
im just looking for some consistency from you people

What happened in round 2?

What happened in round 2?

you beat a shit side by a lesser margin than GWS the week before. idk, what did happen?

Swannies lost to a side that was supposedly bottom 8 material and their season was written off after a belting from freo in round 1

We completely demolished Carlton, who got a respectable losing margin when we switched off in the fourth.

West Coast had 15 more inside 50's and we lost our 2 key position defenders by the second quarter. Darling and Kennedy would have been kicking their lips. But yeah, umpires lost them the game. Not West Coast's inability to capitalise and score.

 

[TradeDraft]

Nice try. Sydney's flag to lose.

Well we have Already Beaten the Swans

 

[TradeDraft]

This is a very strange thread.

Yep, They Typical Collingwood Bashing Thread on the Main Board

 

[South of the Yarra]

Almost laughable ..... Sydney are the most over rated team in the competition. Once the heat is put on them they will fall apart. School yard bullies. Would happily play them in a final. Hawthorn and Geelong I have the greatest respect for .......Sydney pfft

 

[The King!]

I like the collingwood list build under buckley.

Its pleasing to see white performing too, big fan of his, cloke back in form is a massive plus

But arguably the best mid group in the comp is the big strength

I think buckley is an underrated coach, i can see them being a big chance this year, but maybe the next 2 seasons are where they hit their straps

Reid and brown fit more often would help

 

[danielnajdek]

Carlton the most impressive team so far this round

 

[bradrowe#32]

The scary thing is that we're undertaking a mini-rebuild and still threatening to make the top four. Our club gives great value for its supporters.

 

[QPower]

5-8 at season's end.

Carlton, who just got beaten by Brisbane? Yes, it is more far fetched

 

[MagpieJoel]

Cloke the big ape, piss weak. Starts dominating once his opponent gets injured and can barely walk. Also gets some goals handed to him.

Does it hurt?

 

[burningdwarf]

Does it hurt?

what?

 

[frizzle]

5-8 at season's end.

Yeah that's where I see us. But happy with that for 2014.

Would love to win a final at least this year also. Good base for an assault next year on the flag

 

[upnsmoke]

I'm late to the party but...

I think it's Port's year.

I mentioned last year that Port looks like the 2010 Pies, that everyone on their best 22 are in-synch. They are young, fresh but highly motivated with a good system and game plan.

Swans can win it if they make the GF, but I think they get done in the prelims or before that. Mainly because they may under rate their competition... Either Hawks, Pies, Cats, Dockers etc.


Pies are 25-27 players deep...
As mentioned by someone already... 2014 is partly a development year.

Once Frost, Langdon, Williams get another pre-season of getting bigger and mature... They look good. Add Grundy, Witts, Josh Thomas, Adams there and maybe 2015-2016 Pies can push for a premiership run.
