The Pies and the Flag........The Flag Pies

[Nebula1971]

I think winning the flag this year it totally a possibility. How likely is obviously up for debate.

I tipped us to make finals the second we appointed Fly but being Top 4 is beyond even my high expectations.

I think the next 3 weeks will give us a much clearer picture of what our chances of going all the way look like.

You did better than me. I had us 10th at best.

Kind of eery I even mention close games in this post and aside from the Weideman call lol I was pretty bullish about the list

I’ve said it elsewhere: we’ll need Cox to have a Buddy, circa 2008 finals type campaign. It’s not likely, but funnily enough, Mason has shown it's possible. I think he’s been building too.

Yeah saw that ladder. Mate more having a dig our ten week streak not laden with top 8 teams.

Does your mate realise we played more top 8 teams than Geelong did in their ten match streak?

And you did better than me. I was hoping for 14th, as an improvement on 17th! Talk about aiming low.

Well done Collingwood Football Club!
It has been an unexpected pleasurable year to watch AFL.
whatever happens from here until finals it's still a big tick for the year.
Goodluck for the next 3 rounds.
Go Pies!

We have two players with an x factor capacity: Cox & JDG. Add to that Sidey, Pendles, Jamie, moore, all players with a proven ability to dominate games if even only for periods. Crisp, our last b&f well below par. Finally the two Daics who have yet to p lay their best footy for us.

On paper we are still a developing team but surely this list scares the opposition with so many that can surprise. I really hate to say this but we look to have a talented side. Sad truth though, can't see Cox there unless he pulls out a blinder this Friday.

 

[Apples]

you say that you have belief.....try reading your first two sentences again. I've liked the year too. I'll accept a loss in the finals with a shrug.

Nothing inconsistent there. It's indisputable that Collingwood's GF record is terrible and that we find ways to lose the unlosable. That doesn't diminish my belief that the next GF is close and that I'll be there screaming, hoping and probably crying with every other Collingwood person.

I don’t think we’ll make top 4, nor a prelim. But the only missing piece imho is Grundy.

Then one player turning it on for one game could see us winning a final. Most likely: DeGoey, Elliot, Moore, Grundy (if fit). Those are who we put our hope in.

Aaah what are you doing. You can't say this out loud. Delete this thread. We are keeping a lid on it

 

[BlackNWhiteFreightTrain]

Superstition aside. I'm predicting a Pies v Geelong GF.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Wouldn’t it be funny (sad) if we keep winning till the big Dance only to lose a close one at the last hurdle

Why? Why would you post this?

 

[Carringbush2010]

That's what we do. No matter the score in Grand Finals, Collingwood conjure's new ways to lose. As a supporter of over 60 years, I've endured it all; the slings and arrows and the the barbs from opposition supporters and it has taken its toll. Collingwood has shaped me in so many ways, but it has given me resilience and an almost inextinguishable belief.

No matter what happens from here, this year has restored pride. It's a season that has come from nowhere and has been a hell of a ride. Let's embrace it and love it as only we can.

There's good argument we are the most steely resolved fan base on the whole planet. After the amount of heart break most of us have experienced it's a wonder we're still the highest profile sporting club in the country.

domus likes this post, so do I actually.

Would be just the cherry on top if big Mase rips the GF apart like he did in 18 (and the PF).

I'd flood the main board with all sorts of Mase paraphernalia just for the oppo fans.

Ditto

 

[FAIRANDBALANCED]

I mean, the week we are playing Melbourne?

We have been amazing this year, but Melbourne and Geelong have far more weapons than we have. We are still a very fair chance of losing our last 3 games before finals.

Let's hope the ride continues, but objectively we are still unlikely to finish top 4.

 

[noideaatall]

I'd like to see a pies demons gf, couldn't cope if we lost to the cats again.

 

[Clutchmichael]

If you go by Twomey's phantom we'll be picking from Barnett or Weddle, gone are the dreams of a top 10 pick, a Cadman or a Jefferson, the streak just kept going and we can't even look at early to mid teens now. Barnett at 203cm would be the go if Grundy leaves but I reckon they chase the Charger Weddle for need (192cm intercepting defender) none of Kelly McMahon or Dean for varying reasons have come good yet and we've already lost Roughead and Keane

 

[Daics35Marvel]

The lid is well and truly off!!! The Pies have no reason to fear any side. We play a brand of football that will stand up in finals. Bring it on.

Well, I just think that this is a new Collingwood. The Colliwobbles never really left us. But this team, this new found inner belief, it all seems so very different to anything in the past. I've been a supporter for over 60 years, but it has never felt like this.

Spot on, in my 40 years, I have never been so invested as I am under this regime.

No outspoken president, a calm and likeable coach and more than that a great group of players who are all in.

It would be an amazing thing to go all the way for sure, I am already fulfilled with the last 11 wins in a row.
What a club, what a ride, go pies!

Imagine if it’s the two teams who have won 15 games on the trot squaring up in the GF.

I’d say it’d be epic, but I’ve already used that word a few times this season.

 

[#40]

Fun fact: if we remain undefeated for the rest of the year our 16th consecutive win will notch up our 16th premiership.

Come on, Pies, just five more wins!

 

[domus]

My innards are developing that familiar quiver as the possibility of the double chance and reality of a genuine tilt at another flag becomes more likely.

Oh the delicious agony

 

[Black_White]

Forward planning.
Need to find a place on this planet that has no radio/TV/internet access just in case we do make the Granny.
