Collingwood are a phenomenon! they led the premiership table (ie: most flags) for 60 years spanning the greater part of the century, more than the other 15 clubs put together, this total domination over many generations has scarred the football psyche for all time and has made Collingwood unique in it's rabid supporters and detractors

Insecurity board :rolleyes:

The reason i love Collingwood is the fact they've lost 26 grand finals :thumbsu:
yeah but still won more than 13 other clubs:rolleyes:

We led the premiership table from 1921 to 1981. And we managed to lose 24 grand finals in the process.

We have played in more finals than any other team & actually won more games than any other team.

Think about the reason why you hated Collingwood? Well its because it was drained in you as a kid that if you didnt go for the pies you hated them.

The reason for that is simple because for generations Collingwood ruled the comp & every young kid wanted to play for them.

We are now the most powerful of the field (15 MCG GAMES, got to love it!) & will soon be back in the premiership stakes.

PIE ENVY HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS & ITS PART OF AUSTRALIAN CULTURE.

DENYING IT ONLY MAKES THINGS WORSE!

I actually repect them as a worthy rival. Love them, No, hate them, yes, but I do respect them. It is the traditional suburban rivalaries of 100 years ago that have forged foundations that will always be a part of our game. No disrespect but the Interstate clubs do not know what it is like to have a traditional rival. Teams like Carlton, Collingwood, Richmond and Fitzroy who bordered each other had such intense suburban rivalary and hatred of each other. Obviously Essendon and Melbourne etc, were part of this rivalary for different reasons. Collingwood were looked down upon because there club was in a slum, it is hard to believe but Fitzroy was one of the upper crust suburbs in comparison to Collingwood. Collingwood people intense and proud gave it to the other suburbs and built a team that was perhaps the greatest of all time. They were as loyal and defensive as you get and that is where the hatred began. Yes I do respect the Collingwood Football Club, just like I do with the Bombers. Now I can get back to hating them both again. Go Blues.
Most intelligent post I have ever seen on BF!

Your good enough to be a pie supporter! Its never to late;)

Love the line about collingwood being a worthy rival:rolleyes: But if your carlton I guess they are! But when your the lions worthy rivals are the saints,eagles etc while the woods are our bunnies.

And with collingwood it's not about the flags as carlton have won around the same and I like them. It's the vile,bogan culture at the club that I hate. If I were a melbourne boy would most likely be a carlton or melbourne fan.

Oh and they're not the greatest..all the flags they won bar one were in a sub standard suburban competition. The AFL is all that matters.

Talk to me when you win a premiership without concessions... because as we all know concessions are a form of handicapping pathetic competitors that cant compete on a level playing field... you are the cripples of the AFL

Didn't they steal their gurensey from port?
No. Port Adelaide are an older club but their colours were initially magenta and navy blue. In 1902 they switched to black and white and began calling themselves the Magpies, but that was well after Collingwood.

Essendon had their chance to cash-in on cheating the salary cap, but could only win one flag from 1999-2001 when they should have won at least two, if not all three. Unless Essendon plan on cheating the salary cap again, then I'm confident that Collingwood will be winning their next premiership before Essendon.

Bull****. Not possible to dump any more shame on the filth.
When you head the premiership table (alone) for longer than the other 15 clubs put together and influence an entire century... when you win more games than any other club, when you win more finals than any other club, when you have greater attendances than any other club, when more people watch you than any other club, when a movie is made about your club, when you are the most famous, popular, high profile club in the Southern hemisphere...

When all that happens we'll talk about your piss poor little club
