Whatever. 'The Machine' is irrelevant to our experiences as Collingwood supporters. The ONLY time I have seen a dominant Collingwood side was in 2011. We all know what happened after that. FFS let's stop pretending we are anywhere near the Hawks.
That sides record remains better than anything the Hawks have ever achieved

It is irrelevant when used as a comparison to the best team in the comp.
Yes it is an irrelevant comparison to the Hawks of today. But it is a record and a record is a record. And that record is ours. I for one am proud of it and sincerely hope it is not equaled by anyone else. This is basically what the other guy was saying when you came in with "öh for gods sake you weren't even alive who cares!!!"

I am genuinely surprised that anyone cares about this record. We have won three flags almost 60 years.
 
You're only as good as your last flag I guess
 
Geez,jmac,your a grumpy old coot these days.It must be that crap beerless avatar you now have

The problem is that the person behind the avatar has been driving very strong IPAs.

I don't get why you think because we've onl;y won 3 flags in 60 years we shouldn't care about our club records, heritage and achievements? FFS Bring out the Gimp and Spartan Magpie are still crapping on and feeling proud about the achievements of the Spartans from 2,480 years ago. Humans do this stuff Jmac.
 
You seem a bit aggressive today Jmac.
Have a bad day?
I was going to the same thing.
hey jmac do you think no one can beat the hawks
 
I haven't read all the posts so I'm flying blind a little...
We should cherish and be proud of our history.
I'm guessing Jmac is grumpy 'cos Hawks won their 3rd in a row whilst we won one 5 years ago and don't look close.
Treasure the past and be aggresive for the future.
If that's the gist of it, you're both, (Jmac and the rest) right.

Fair comment. Not a fan of Coop?
Is that the guy from Twin Peaks? then yeah that was a good show... not as good as red dwarf though. Have you ever watched "outnumbered"?.. on ABC 3 weeknights I think... nice show.. the humor is all in the parents refusal to get angry when they should by rights be going psycho.

I will check it out
 
You can never lose history, no matter how hard we try we'll always be known as the one of the most successful and influential clubs in AFL history.

We make our mark on the game regardless whether we are in or outside of finals football, people talk about us and we sell memberships.

Good on the Hawks. But this just makes us stronger
 
I've never understood discounting history.

You can only compete against that times opponents.

Should we discount the Hawks dominance because in fifty years time, humans will be taller, fitter, some Peds maybe deemed safe & approved or whatever the ****.

Todays present is tomorrows history.

'The Machine' was over 80 years ago. Hawks are doing it NOW.

How many of the players from today could Hold Down a fulltime Job, train after work and play on a saturday on the shittiest of grounds.

Not forgetting there was only a top 4 during our run from 1925 to 1939.
 
the game was simply a lot tougher back then, more physical, man on man, and the grounds, more like paddocks.
every thing has changed so much. to days players could not handle what went on twenty years ago, and no chance back then
but in saying that in most ways the game is better to day, but past is where it should be

Yep thats what happens when you were all for the changes the club made and falling for promises of greatness and glory. Four years later look where we are and look where the Hawks are......... one can only turn grumpy after being taken for a ride from which he cant get off from.
 
I always get confused about what kind of day it is.

Is today one of those days where we say:
"Look at what Hawthorn is doing, why aren't we doing that"

Or is it a day where we say:
"We are Collingwood, we don't care what other clubs are doing"

Outnumbered is gone, replaced by something else - my Nephew is shattered.
