if we lose against the saints which i dont think we will. do we end up with pick 11 or 12 in the draft

All we can do is shaft ourselves from here (in respect to the draft)
Loss in Week 1 - finish 8th - get Pick 9
Loss in Week 2 - finish 6th - get Pick 11
Loss in Week 3 - finish 4th - get Pick 13
Loss in GF - finish 2nd - get Pick 15
Win GF - finish 1st - get Pick 16


Beating the Saints is no gimme though. We were lucky to beat them last time when we had plenty of reason to fire up, after a pasting in the media all week. Ross Lyon has made a play for the tag of "underdog" this week, and I'm not surprised. The degree of complacency on here about this final staggers me, to be honest. Collingwood supporters must have awfully short memories because currently we can't recall as recently as round 22.
But who cares?

Not me, I'm sick as a dog and stuck at home, hence my abnormally prolific daytime posting.Is anyone having trouble concentrating on work this week? My efforts today were very cut and paste.But who cares?

You might be on to something, as judging by last year we don't suffer as badly from complacency during finals. Then again, I don't think we were favourites for any of our games last finals series... possibly the Swans game.I'm using the Malthouse calendar - our season proper only just started on Saturday, everything before that was the pre-season![]()

I think we'll get Cousins either way, and Kerr in neither case. Just IMHO.
mdc: Hope you get better soon.![]()

I think my flu pales in comparison, but yeah it's handy.
It would be better if we had something more concrete to go on for the post-season as well as the build-up to Saturday, but Collingwood always has to deal with this cloak-and-dagger bs.

Awesome, I'll give you my mobile number and you can send me updates while I'm OS getting married.![]()

She is a collingwood supporter isnt she TRS?Erm, wouldn't going overseas for a mail-order bride kinda defeat the purpose?
Anyway, bringing my own, but thanks for the tip.![]()

Good news well done TRS.Yeah, she and her step-dad, her uncle... the family checks out okay.
I'm responsible for dragging this thread horribly off-track though, so we'd best get back to it.![]()
