I agree but this is not false optimism, its reality. We have cleared out a lot on the list & have recruited a lot of youngsters.
We have been hit by injury & our first two high draft picks (4 & 10) are yet to play. Exciting prospects ahead.

That's 6 and 10 but yeah, I'm with you guys.
Fasolo, Maxwell, Goldsack, Brown, Reid, Sinclair, Sidebottom, Lynch, Karnezis, Scharenberg, Freeman, Oxley, Hudson, Gault, and Ramsay did not play at either AFL or VFL level this week so to be competitive with the Dawks for all but 10 minutes on the back of a dodgy throwing the ball decision was full of merit. That's 30% of our squad missing.
Yeah I know people will say Blair, Thomas et al didn't play at AFL or VFL level standard either... your opinion, your doom and gloom philosophy. |

Collingwood fans are not a very patient lot are we, some of us anyway. I have seen two flags in my fifty five years of Pies barracking, -that I can recall-and realise I just must be patient and wait for the next taste of ultimate glory. Consider, the doggies have not MADE a GF since 1961, howd you like that eh. ? We are pretty fortunate really, though I do concede we should have at least 20 flags minimum. GFs are SO hard to make, but SO hard to win. !
