You'd still lost to us. I've had a running bet on every Coll V Syd match for the last 5 years with a mate of mine. I've never lost once.But the ball wouldn't be getting down to him. Its Sydney's day remember.

Pfft. The last time we played you in a real H&A game, a game that had more riding on it than a practice match, we smacked you. The time before that... well that's so far away it's irrelevant now. Hawthorn, LOL.

Lucky it didnt start 10 years ago.
That's a bit rough.

I didn't state it to offend anyone and no-one can take that 2010 flag away from you.
It's just my honest opinion.
Superior fitness + High rotations + A game plan designed to create space = the 2010 premiership.
The Swannies created a purple patch from serious lockdown tactics that bought them a flag.
If you are taking 2010 lists, then Geelong. Problem is that they've all been run into the ground and had only one or two players performing most games. Without Ablett, probably Collingwood.
The answer is Collingwood and everyone knows the answer is Collingwood.
What they produced in the first half of the Preliminary Final I would regard as their best. And it was better than any other side could manage in 2010.
I love how people mention other teams to show how "deep" thinkers they are, almost to be deliberately controversial... almost like the thread title was an invitation to say something other than the obvious
You know, crap like:
"Oh, Hawthorn's best 6 players are aweosme so when they're on song..."
"Geelong's best is still better"
etc
Um, NO. Collingwood's best is better than everyone's. In 2010 anyway. And to suggest any other side's best was better is simply wrong.

Will apart from this year, Collinwood must have been downhill skiers because we have been creaming you sorry asse since the 2006 finals.

Some people must be pretty bored. Answer=Collingwood, thoroughly deserved the flag although St Kilda obviously a tad stiff
Scary thing is that if Collingwood stay focused and keep healthy they have plenty more improvement in them still (probably ore than any team in the league). They could win 2 or 3 flags in a row because on there day they are the best side going around

Did you watch any foot this year?
Pretty sure we beat you 3 times this year.
NAB cup = fail.

Back in the world of reality, that's what happened. Judging by our QF and PF, we were clearly saving our best footy for the finals in R22. Judging by your EF, you weren't. You won R22, we won the flag. Somehow, you look at this as a win. Congratulations.whatever suits your argument..

And you've nothing to show for it? Isn't that the ultimate in down hill skiing? And considering we've beaten you in the 4 outings, I find this comment rather perplexing.
As far as i'm and the rest of Australia are concerned the only sorry arse you've been creaming since 1954 is your own.
dont you hate it when someone makes an outlandish quote but fails to back it up with details.
hodge - probably the most 'complete' player in the league. will do the job wherever he plays on the ground, but due to an average team, is relied upon to fix up problems instead of utilising his strengths.
franklin - the most 'unstoppable on his day' player in the league at present. but suffers from the same problem as hodge. in an average team he is unable to be let loose and put on a show.
the rest dont get a mention - and by a very long margin.
equals an average team.
probably the key to the argument, as pies folk have argued for many months. top 1-6 equal any midfield in the league. next 6 on par with most KPP around - no doubt some are better. and the next 10 - the final 10 - thats the difference. easily the best players rated 13-22 in any club. every other club simply has fillers in these spots. the pies have players there to do a job, and they deliver week in week out. if the pies lose its because something went wrong at the top 6 end (see GF1) rather than the bottom 10.
cmon didaics, bring with you evidence of this. show me the evidence. i really like to see the evidence. in fact everyone would.
Why do Hawthorn fans think that being a great team in 2008 means they are still one of the best teams going heading into 2011??
You dont have Crawf, Croad, Dew, Williams, Campbell, C.Brown anymore....the blokes who you have replaced them with simply are not up to it.
Hawthorn are a mediocre team.....on their day they can play good footy....much like Calrton and Sydney.
Collingwood are a good team.....on their day they are unbeatable.
Absolutely flipping hilarious. It is Pies supporters like you who give the rest of your mob a bad name.
hodge - probably the most 'complete' player in the league. will do the job wherever he plays on the ground, but due to an average team, is relied upon to fix up problems instead of utilising his strengths.
Goddard gives you the manacled hands salute

Most top 8 teams on their day are unbeatable. Arguably we beat the greatest team in a Grand Final a couple of years ago when we were rank outsiders. If we performed like we did that day, we could easily beat Collingwood. Again, it is a subjective thing. It really comes down to which team has the most talent as the team with the most talent, in a perfect storm, will all click together and run a muck.

How can everyone be firing? When Lenny Hayes is firing, he dominates clearances and therefore the Collingwood mids are getting thrashed - not firing. If Kositchke is firing - Ben Reid is having a shocker. Both teams can't be firing at once.
another hawthorn flog who brings up 2008.
hawthorn hv lost 6 players from that team, ie more than one quarter of your premiership heroes are no longer wearing brown and gold....their replacements havebeen unable to replicate their output, and rwsultantly hawthorn hv been an average side since.
collingwood head into 2011 with ALL 22 premiership players plus Tarrant, Krakeour....people aint even seen thebest of this current collingwood side yet
