As much as I love 'little bro', Isn't he playing Magoos?

Made to earn his spot while the team is flying and he came back from serious injury.. if a talent like him is on the fridge we’re in a great spot

All this thread was lacking was point scoring off two World Wars. I think that’s enough of this thread for me. You guys are nuts.

A talent like him, rofl. Oh my goodness.

Better tell him to get off the fridge and get back to playing.

They didn't collapse mate they was nothing left in the tank, and we were playing a fresher Brisbane Lions team at the Gabba.

Fair after one of the greatest comebacks in modern sporting history

A perfect education for the team and it’s worked out exactly as it should..

Now contending for the ultimate

I was barely a thought in 1910 mate so impacts me very little. Let's not keep diving into what happened in the past - plenty of dirt about the Pies as well (in much more recent history).

For a team with so much supposed depth you would think this would be obvious to them...

 

[BennyGFunk]

We're only just trying to prepare the Collingwood contingent for what's coming.

Believe me you will only be fed the scraps from our dining table in the coming years.

Campo boys and Walker Jr to come as well

Though not currently in 2024.

It was a reply in context to a poster about NOT 2024

Your club bribed our players to throw the 1910 grand final!

 

[bradfisher14]

I'm still intrigued to know why the valiant Collingwood Football Club didn't cease operations to focus on the war effort, South of the Yarra.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Grand Finals played

How else do you separate performance.

What's the next best metric apart from winning the flag? GFs played, you might scoff at that, but you can't escape the fact it is the next best metric.

Yeah you can have your 5-1 flags against us, and your 5 spoons this century.

We'll have our every other club are our bunnies over the course of the competition. Enjoy.

Was it war time between 59-89?

 

[Carringbush2010]

You know that the “wooden spoon” isn’t actually a real thing, yeah? It’s imaginary. It doesn’t exist.

So yes, I would take 5 “wooden spoons” over 27 Grand Final losses. One doesn’t exist and the other shows you were so close to a flag but so far away (and in one case, a 1 point loss to hand St Kilda their lone flag).

Whatever term you wanna use, the fact is 'bottom of the ladder' is a real thing.

I'll take 2nd over bottom, clutch at straws to pretend bottom of the ladder isn't a real thing, you do you.

Love how you think spoons have any relevance to flags

 

[Carringbush2010]

I'd rather not live with the shame and disgrace, of being the biggest grand final chokers of all time mate!

I'll take the spoons over losing a grand final to St Kilda as well!

Ok if you like being the worst, you do you.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Love how the blose fans are tryna justify spoons are better than runners up.

Maybe they're tryna block about that the Pies are king of the heap over the course of the competition.

Hope you blose fans are ok.

In simple terms Collingwood and Carlton have been the best team equally. Carlton have been the worst team more. That makes us better.

 

[beerbandit]

Just checking in... Are the mighty Carringbush still paying Brodie Grundy to whoop their asses playing for Sydney?

Imagine being able to pay players at other clubs and still be able to win the flag!

Oh boy!!

The Blueshakes struck. Again.
