I said three or four weeks ago that Collingwood could easily make top four given their soft run home. People underestimate the impact of the uneven fixture. They'll be equal on points with us if we lose tonight.
 
Well done to Collingwood for winning all these close games but it can mask the true quality of teams. Both us in 2014 and Hawthorn in 2016 made top 4 through amazing records in close games, both teams out in straight sets.

If Collingwood crack top 4 having played Port, Melbourne, Sydney, and Carlton in their last 4 games... then they'll be a force to be worried about.

No doubt they'll be contesting premierships in a year or two at this pace, but I don't think 2022 will be their year.

Regardless- their ladder position flatters them - falling over the line against a few ok teams. They will be good next year. In the finals this year, I would prefer pies at the g, to Freo in Perth or Brissy up north, I must say.

Agree. When was the last time a first year player performed like him?

Joel...and like Joel, can already carry the team when it counts.

Gazza Jr. obviously took a a little longer to find his feet, but Nick has all the tricks of his Dad, along with the maturity Joel showed.

40 touches in the wet, 3 magnificent goals off half-back...will be an absolute freak in a couple of years.

They have a pretty decent ruckman ready to come back on the eve of finals. Not to mention the vast improvement of Darcy Cameron.
They are also winning without de Goey.

If they finish top four, they have the speed and audacity to expose any team in the finals.

Always a danger game for Collingwood. If they manage to win this one, they are the real deal and top four a genuine chance.
They been in this situation quite a few times the past month.
Must be watching a different side to me. They're decent but just in that 5th to 8th mould. Should beat Essendon and Port but their last three games are tricky and their % is bad. Brisbane and Sydney would need to drop some 50/50s as well.
