wobblers must be feeling a bit nervy….
Premiers in July.
It has to be this year - with Pendlebury, Sidebottom another year older.
Looking the goods until form started to drop off 6 weeks ago. A few key injuries. Losses to the arch enemy & others.
Fluky performance against the worst form team in the competition.
First massive test of their finals coming up.
Will Moore play? Looks like Daicos will miss again.
Getting very nervy for The Wobblers.

Haha
True enough…Yes the ladder propping The Wobblers “up” notionally, a nice buffer built before the Wobbles set in.
It runs deeper than the ladder now - the ladder accounts for nothing once finals start.
Will the July Premiers be able to “flick the switch” in the very next game under immense pressure?
It’s going to get very nervy around here

You play Melbourne - it doesn’t matter whether you finish 1st or 4th.
Exactly how does finishing the H&A season in 1st help you against Melbourne??
It doesn’t - fact.
Your mum must be proud of your vivid imagination, all power to you sunshine
To true. I just stumbled onto this thread , like a drunken, disillusioned Carlton supporter walking Lygon st looking for a kosher restaurant.

If miss this chance as July Premiers, it’s gone. Outright favourites with bookies, supporters and media in July has pumped you up.
To win a real premiership, you need to win this next match.
Being 1st on the ladder means zero now. 1st now = 4th.
You’re playing on Melbourne’s home ground.
You’re form over the past 6 weeks has been bottom 8 standard.
Key players missing, may not come back in time.
It’s all on the line for a match against Melbourne who’s form has been getting better, not worse.
Your game is in 6 days.

Side step, that’s OK - ignore the truth.
1st v 4th.
It’s just you & Melbourne.
The ladder won’t save you

It's just another finals series for us
Huge for you guys though, did you know that this is the first time that perennial strugglers and foundation teams Carlton, Melbourne and St Kilda have all made the finals in the same year?
Robertio

One of those perennial strugglers has more premierships than the Pies.
Indeed it is, for a team who has played in over 30% of all Grand Finals ever played, who reached the Preliminary Final stage more often than they don't, have qualified for finals in 70% of seasons, and have played (and won) far more finals than any other club in the history of the competition.
Pies may win the flag this year, and they may not. But what we do know is that they'll likely be back in contention sooner rather than later, because we are a well run club who know what it takes to contend in the modern era.
We were being told as recently as 2021 that we were in for a decade of misery, similar to that which the likes of Carlton had experienced for the prior two decades - 'We know what a pathetic list looks like' were amongst some of the many comments from the outspoken Carlton supporters.
But like any good club does, they identified and rectified the errors that were made, and rebounded immediately to perform the way they have in 2022 and so far in 2023.
It must be so frustrating for the Carlton folk to know they have had their best home and away season in more than two decades, courtesy of their best winning streak in over two decades, and yet they still have to look up to see Collingwood 4.5 games and 4 ladder positions ahead of them on the ladder.

It was The Wobblers best chance this year … seems you’ve given it up already … understandable you’d want to take the pressure off
You have too much time on your hands and you dribble way too muchIndeed it is, for a team who has played in over 30% of all Grand Finals ever played, who reached the Preliminary Final stage more often than they don't, have qualified for finals in 70% of seasons, and have played (and won) far more finals than any other club in the history of the competition.

I just love how committed you are to Collingwood. We consume you. You can’t stop posting about us. It is a beautiful thing.

I've been to too many GF losses to ever be confident
At this stage I'm rating us as a 20% chance
8 teams still in it, but probability says that it has to be a team from the top 4
If we beat Melbourne this week, I'll probably put us up to 30%, unless we absolutely smash them, then maybe higher
Lose to Melbourne, and I'll have to reassess, depending on the performance - if they pump us like they did earlier in the year, I may have to book a trip to Bali for GF week
Honestly, I'd have Melbourne as favourites right now, with Brisbane/Pies equal second and Port bringing up 3rd
The bottom 4 are all equal to me until after this first round of games
