The What If thread

[manicpie]

What if we took Bernie Quinlan and didn't chicken out.
What if we took Locket and didn't chicken out.
What if Carmen played in the 1977 GF
What if we took Naughton instead of Stepho
What if we didn't have some ****ing witch doctor holding a curse over us since the 1960"s

The Umpire signals the correct decision for Roccas goal in the 2002 GF. How many points do we win the grand final by?

 

[BLS World Wide]

The clokes told us TGGF and he went to freo

 

[BLS World Wide]

The Bont draft kills me. We were into him really badly and he would’ve been our first pick. Just didn’t last and we went Shaz instead. Then pick 10, we went Freeman… Sheed went pick 11. Crippa went afterwards too.

We should have just saved time and drafted Aish

 

[BLS World Wide]

What if we didn’t get a priority pick and never got Pendlebury due to that

Thats nightmare fuel.

Thats nightmare fuel.

amen

The only silver lining you can take from it. We have been competitive in losses against some top teams. Encouraging for next year at least

Was it due to us being up to scratch against those top sides or because of the ultra defensive game style we implemented?

Not being a smart alec, genuine question.

 

[PieLebo87]

I’d have Essendon and GWS as games that got away instead of WB and Geelong. A middle side would win 2-3 of the games we dropped, a top side 4-5.

I don’t think it would change internal views of where the list is at, but it may shape recruitment. Externally perhaps the pressure wouldn’t have been as great. The query for mine is whether an extra couple of wins would have saved Buckley.

This is a very good question.

 

[PieLebo87]

What if Collingwood won their last game against Fremantle in 2008?
What if Buckley didn’t get injured in the 2007 PF?
What if Collingwood won the 2019 PF?
What if Collingwood didn’t verse geelong twice in 2011?

We’d have belted Port by 21 goals in the GF.

 

[PieLebo87]

It’s threads like this where it makes me hate my username.

It’s all your fault.

 

[PieLebo87]

What if we didn't lose all those close matches in 2017? Maybe 2018 would've never happened...

So you’re saying we’re gonna play in the 2022 GF?

Forget that goal. Bloody pay Tarrant his ****ing free kick and Lynch never gets his soft ****ing free kick against Wakelin. This is why I blame you Football God

 

[PieLebo87]

Would’ve still gotten more games out of Aish than Shaz and Freeman combined

A bridge too far?

 

[BringouttheGimp]

What if I didn't play soccer and took up AFL.. woulda captained this side to 3 straight re.

 

[Aussie pie]

That’s sport and life shit happens. What if the bat ate the human in Wuhan instead of the other way around?

 

[Go Woods]

‘What If’ just sums up Collingwood in a nutshell..

 

[Tarkyn_24]

We’d have belted Port by 21 goals in the GF.

Still needed to beat the Cats.

IIRC we kicked the last two goals of the game once Bucks went down.

They should’ve been called for holding the ball on the final siren too, when three of them locked the ball in to one another.

Which lends the question: do we land the goal after the siren from fifty to win that? IIRC it was O’Bree and Goldsack closest to the ball when the siren went.

 

[Black_White]

What if the succession plan was not agreed on. Would we have still won the flag?

Maybe would have won two, because MM wouldn’t have been publicly torpedoing the club at every opportunity.

Fair question!!! I honestly couldn't answer. Maybe it was the ultra defensive side of our game that kept us in those.

None of them were particularly high scoring games , so i think you are bang on with the defensive side

 

[raymond35]

What if Sumich had nailed the shot in 1990 so we lost the qualifying final instead of drawing it which in turn served to give Essendon another week off?

Add that to the Milne bounce and we could be in drought year 63.

This is correct. We've had 2 pieces of good luck in 60 years, and about 10 shockers.

PS: Langdon should’ve held up Ryan the kick before.

What if Langdon rushed a behind in the first qtr instead of fumbling.

What if Langdon punched instead of trying to mark on the wing when Ryan took that mark before Sheed’s goal

[Pie eyed]

If Geelong win this week i think it will be "expected".
If the Pies beat Geelong the media are going to have a Pie-gasm.
