It’s all a question of demographics. The older fans will point to 1990 for the redemption after 30+ years of pain.
But since 1990 we have won one flag and lost four up until 2022. The colliwibbles still lingered to some extent.
This is one reason why 2023 is very special. We have started to square up that modern era grand final win loss ledger. Jag another one quickly with back to back we are suddenly 4-4 since and including when we originally broke the drought in 1990 and Collingwood can no longer be regarded as a joke when it matters.
Of course nothing will give us back all those gfs we lost but carrying that burden is a badge of honour only Collingwood people understand.
Time to win some more now. We need an era. We are owed an era. It’s the next thing on the to-do list. Other clubs have achieved it and maybe now it’s our turn.
