Yep, a lot of people say Essendon* are equally as successful. Not the case. Little do their fans know they have won four spoons - 1907, 1918, 1921, 1933, and we have won more Grand Finals than them, as early on they won a flag or so from the old round robin system. I reckon we're beautifully placed to take out the first 17th flag. Essendon* are a few years off it yet, I can't see Collingwood squeezing out two more flags and becoming one of the greatest sides in history, but with a good run with injury, and a bit of improvement, we're right there to do it.
