Roast Same Old Collingwood

So ANZAC DAY, vs Geelong game.. Etc... Don't count?

Add the west coast game from 2 weeks ago, thought we stood up to the pressure pretty well then...

i think its time to revert back to the 2 gorillas in the forward 50, get a ruckman in the side who can actually move across the ground and can jump

Not going to look to much into it now.

It's been a while since we've been a team's bitch, and it looks like we're Carlton's now. Not the end of the world. Can still win a flag being a team's bitch, especially if that team either misses the 8, or barely makes it.

I just hope, that like Round 3, they dust themselves off, and continue mowing sides down.

The next month is a legitimate chance for us to cement Top Spot or at least top 2 again, so that should be the focus now.

Not trying to look for excuses but after watching the game, I felt that we were off our best, played badly and were in the game for the majority of it. Any truth that the flu hit the club all week?

Last year we were geelongs bitch, so it hasn't exactly been a while.

Well, no, because we beat Geelong this year.

I'm intimating that Carlton will continue to beat us for a few years.

I sure hope not :/

Just adding the 'Is it too late to get Mick back?' quote, too.

That's the problem with the club.... we are always whineing about half-measures. We shouldnt be hoping to get Mick back in charge, we should be trying to get Jock McHale back. HE was the one that got us those 4 premierships in a row. Mick didn't do that for us. So instead of asking for half-measures, let's try to get Jock back to take over from Bucks!!

I was absolutely fuming for half an hour afterwards, the truth is Carlscum were harder at the ball (90 tackles to 70) and their spread was miles ahead of ours. We were slack and didn't chase, man up or hit targets. Yet if Cloke kicks that goal halfway through the third we win.

In 2010 we had games against Melbourne (twice), St Kilda, Geelong and Brisbane that made me tear my hair out. But each time I moved onto next week. I had done that by Saturday morning and now we must beat the Cats or we lose touch with the top 4. The equation is simple: win and jump at least one spot (due to Syd-WCE). Don't forget, we are still effectively equal first on the ladder. I will stop short of calling it the loss we had to have but we had been up for a long time. Just because now we look and the table says fourth instead of first doesn't mean we are off the pace. We have shown we can take it to the top teams, as shown already by wins over Adelaide (in Adelaide), West Coast, Essendon and Geelong. Imo it serves as a reality check that we still have many things to work on. I don't see Geelong getting within 20 points of us tomorrow tbh.
