The idea that Collingwood are some unstoppable juggernaut and that no other team has a chance of winning the premiership this year has to be one of the most BS narratives ever.

Yeah but it sells papers/memberships/ad space etc

Wouldn't surprise me to see them straight set.
 
The recent flurry of losses for flag favourites (Brisbane losing to GC, Port losing 3 in a row, Collingwood losing to Carlton+Hawthorn) make me feel like this year has been a wasted opportunity for us. Sure, we had injuries in the first few months, but if we'd been hungry enough to finish 4th-6th and built up momentum leading into September, we could have had a red-hot crack at the flag, even if we never got to the level that we were in 2022. Unfortunately, we're cooked - still fighting hard to even make the top 8, tactics are out of whack, players are sore and skills are way below what we'd expect from some of our most experienced players.

2023 could turn out to be a huge missed opportunity for the Geelong Football Club.

It’s not over yet - we can still do damage -but I couldn’t give a toss bag. It’s good to share the flag around. As long as it’s not Richmond or Carlton-I’m happy for anyone to win it!

You just know that Hawthorn wont be winning this game. Which makes whatever lead they get out to even funnier.
Superb reverse mozzing by you today. Held off the Pies!

I'm not sure I've seen the top 2 drop so many collective games in a row, this late into the season. Collingwood with 2 really bad/shocking losses, Port with 3 losses in a row (could be 4 tonight) including some shockers. Collingwood have Geelong and Brisbane next. Port have GWS.

Interesting.

People are slowly coming around to the idea that every side is fallible this season. Any team peaking at the right time is a chance. Even Carlton.

Agreed. Had we held it together we'd be sitting pretty right about now.
 
Magpies still 2 clear games on top of the ladder plus % - flat as pancakes today - in a nothing game

The love fest for Haw here is sickening - won 5 games for the yearr - what happened to them last week - StK the worst side in the 8 by the length of the Randwick straight - beat them by 5 goals in cruise control
