One day in September.
One day you'll remember........

Its the only sane approach. I can't help myself watching us as if its the march to Finals.
I just have to prepare myself if they fail.

3 x 10 goal wins with daring play is such a delight, but this week is the big one.
Can't wait.

Reading tommi's initial post quite a few weeks ago almost inspired me to post some supporting words but I just could not bring myself to do it in the middle of a six game losing streak. As the weeks went by I was encouraged to do some research myself due to regular comments from six of my youngest great grandchildren who have been brainwashed by their Magpie supporting father. He would regularly report to me comments made by the youngsters (aged 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11) who would ask.... "Dad can you ask pop why aren't Carlton as good as Collingwood?"

I thought of responding by inviting them around to watch a video of the 1970 Grand Final but decided to save that for their 21st birthday present.

Instead I consoled myself by researching the respective finals series performances of Carlton v Collingwood - being reasonably confident that the Colliwobbles syndrome might reflect rather well on the Blues. The first stat I searched for was how many grand finals were played between Pies and Blues. We have played against one another in 6 grand finals. The first in 1910 was won by Collingwood. ..... Carlton have won the 5 more since then. So 113 years since Collingwood beat Carlton in a GF.
Total Grand finals won by Collingwood is 15, with Essendon* at 14 and Carlton at 16. ( Essendon* have won 16 premierships like Carlton but 2 were won when no finals series was played - just finish on top of the ladder.)

The other remarkable stat is that Collingwood have played in 44 Grand finals. So acknowledging their 15 wins also points out that they have lost an amazing 27 grand finals. Thus the name Colliewobbles. ( The second highest number of losing GHF's by one side is Essendon* with 14 then Carlton on 13)

The only pleasing thing about the prospect of Collingwood winning this years GF is that would put them on 16 GF wins with us - both being 2 GF wins more than the Bombers.

Hmm we mainly play top sides innthe run home

If we qualify we will need to be one of the top sides on form

I was loving every single word of what you wrote until I read that last sentence.

Wash your mouth out and go to your room.

Same here.... I thought I misread it at first, but then I had to excuse myself and go to the toilet for a massive chunder.

The last line should have read: "The only pleasing thing about Collingwood making the Grand Final this year is the knowledge that statistically, they are by far the worst performing Grand Final side in the history of VFL/AFL and therefore are likely to choke yet again".

There, fixed it for ya NTBlue.

Without looking at a ladder predictor, I feel we'll follow the moggies into the eight at the expense of the doggies and the eternal aints and beat the cheats in the first final, maintaining their beaten run, and beat the filth in the grannie, maintaining a long tradition.

I can dream.

I accept and deserve your criticism bondiblue, robertbb and Mil Hanna and I will forward my explanation to you by PM as the confession might be to gruesome for many died in the wool Blues fans. A clue is that I grew up in Hamilton in the heart of Collingwood zone and went to Monivae College with a few future Collingwood players.

So where is the ban button?

Thanks for the PM.

Amazing story.

Yep, you are definitely a Bluebagger, and you have been pardoned.

True. A week ago, I thought if you were to make it, the last spot in the 8 would come down to us, cats and the cheats.
Dogs are now somewhat vulnerable (though still have games against hawks and eagles). GC manage to knock off the aints this week and they become vulnerable too.
Of course we need to do our bit and keep winning as well.

Win the next two and ninth is the worst we can be
