This.
Plus, no one hates Collingwood because they are jealous, that's just silly to even suggest. They hate them because they are the football equivalent of an evil multinational corporation and it is Australian nature to go for the underdog.
Good to see a bit of positivity.
Collingwood don't have shit on you guys. They hate your style of play, its why you beat them the first time, its why Adelaide almost beat them, and its why Hawthorn beat them. All three of those teams play the same way and Collingwood hate it. Besides, you guys...
This Collingwood 3-4 years dominence stuff is bullshit. They're entire success is made out of Mick Malthouse. They're nothing without him.
Saints will win the granny anyway.
1. Mick Malthouse: Best coach in the buisness, single handedly got the pies where they are today and always has tricks up his sleave.
2. O'Brien: Just plain damaging.
3. Swan: Just from weight of numbers, if he has it, we don't.
Under the radar
Shaw: If he get loose, he could be frustrating...
Re: We need to win the GF for the sake of football...
Wrong. They play the afl equivilent of a full court press, which is an unadulterated zone and score all of they're goals off turnovers from said zone. The game plan is based entierly around making the oposition play badly so they can win...
Re: We need to win the GF for the sake of football...
We don't base our game around it though like St. Kilda or Collingwood. Our game is about running, attacking at all costs. And yes, Freo and Melbourne are in the same boat, and will help us in the future, but we need to lead the charge...
Sorry about the flood of threads :P
We need to do it to beat this zone crap that is taking over our game. As the bulldogs bow out, we are the only contender that doesn't play around defence. St. Kilda bases they're whole game around a zone, and Collingwood base they're entire game around...
Re: Suck it up
One thing we haven't done in these years of dominence is a big come from behind to win like this could be.
Lets see it happen. Perhaps the last horrah, it'd be damn fine way to cap off a great era if we can do it (and/or we don't continue it next year.)
I have seriously not heard a single complaint about this by any non Collingwood supporter.
They are simply trying all they can to undermine him for being better than Pendelbry(sp?)/beibg a gun who doesn't play for Collingwood.
Its exactly the same as how they would constantly try and tarnish...
