Moved Thread Repurcussions if Collingwood DON'T Win the Flag?

[HugeJohnson]

If they don't win it from here, the supporters of every other team in the comp will laugh our asses off all summer and possibly in to the coming years. Collingwood have talked themselves up as the best team in the comp, meaning they've also set themselves up for ridicule if they don't get it done. Unfortunately, I can't see anyone stopping them. 2nd best case scenario for me (behind an unlikely Port Flag) is Pies beating someone else by 120+ and taking away our most unwanted record.

It would be hilarious if they don’t win it, but I think they’ve got it in the bag this year.

I never felt any team was a certainity to win it other than Essendon in 2000.

If you look at the odds right now, they are paying $2.75, which means that the field vs Collingwood is more likely to win. So yes, it's more likely that someone else will win other Collingwood this year.

Nobody has it in the bag, you as a Cats supporter should know this better than anyone.

Well it depends if the team they play in the Grand Final exploits the rules.

Not possible

Repurcussions if Collingwood don't win the flag ... well for a start a certain generic glow on a range from joy to happieness to satisfaction to a sense of all being right with the world from a large proportion of non-Collingwood surporters would be pretty much a lock.

I don't think it's possible. I agree, this is the greatest football side I've ever seen grace the field. People love debating 'the greatest teams ever', with the Durant added Warriors, Jordan's Bulls, 2000 Dons, etc. I think it's time the Tom Mitchell Pies are added to that echelon.

They should be relegated to Ovens and Murray Reserves League if they don't salute.

Clearly the best team. Possibly ever.

Have not only arguably the greatest coach ever - but he's also the best guy ever.

They have the best player to ever grace the field, and also the best brother-duo in history.

The standout best captain in the AFL. Honestly, I see a future Nobel Peace Prize winner there.

And they're also the most loved team. We've all fallen in love them. They're just too great to hate.


So what happens if they don't win the flag this year? Is it even possible that they don't??

If they fail in successive years, what will be the fall out?

I agree. I’ve never seen such depth. Regulars such as Cox, WHE, Bobby Hill, McStay, Markov, Frampton and Johnson … i can’t see how they won’t win the next 7 flags when superstars like that fill their team.

lol?

Possibly ever?

Settle down.......

When they go an entire season losing 1 game and have an avg winning margin of 60+ we can talk. about them being best ever.

I think his tongue was planted firmly in his cheek ….

The repercussions will be minimal, they have a team that should hang around for a few years at the top, but they wiill hit some bumps along the way. They are the best team in it this year, but anything can happen at finals time, they are not as good as Brisbane, Geelong or the Hawthorn eras just yet. Remember when the Bulldogs won from 7th p[osition when there were three teams who finished 1, 2 and 3 with 17 wins. It's hard winning premierships. Collingwood will find it just as hard come September. They should win and are the most likely winners, but.....

 

[Shane Heard]

Most discussions here are pointless but here we are. OP started the comparison by claiming we could be the best ever btw.


There’s the same recipe I think the other teams I mentioned had the recipe with a couple of extras we don’t have.

Your extras look ****ing good to me.

Foot soldiers who do the basics very diligently every week..ie Mitchell, the other Daicos, Noble, Adams, Pendlebury and the old Shepparton grunt working baldy gem…Sidebottom.
These are the blokes who will grind you to victory.

You’re in the box seat. Pray for no injuries to Darcy, Milochek..and all your small forwards.
Cox is handy. Very handy.

And it’s 1990 all over again..momentum and the will to win is everything.

 

[Cyclops]

… i can’t see how they won’t win the next 7 flags...

Absurd exagerration.

It'll be four and done as the Tasmanian Hydros have it sewn up in 2027 seeing as the Grand Final will be played at their home ground in Heard Island.

Death by firing squad.

Sorry I don't make the rules

 

[Tiger2709]

Colliwobbles will be back with a bang and Collingwood supporters will comfortable be with that.

2011 - 2nd
2018 - 2nd
2023 - ?

I laugh really hard and spam threads on BigFooty.com.
