Collingwood (2018) = 15-7 (2nd-4th) - 120.4% |
And the 2017 premier finished 13th the previous year, same as we did in 2017.

Mihocek was huge in the final quarter. Two great goals and his work around the contest was brilliant. He gave us that extra lift that we desperately needed.
It's amazing to finish top 4. Apart from our hardcore optimists, I doubt anyone else thought top 4 was a possibility at the start of the year but here we are. I'm proud of the way the boys have continued to overcome adversity with injuries and just kept plodding along.
Bucks didn't look happy at the end of the game. He knows we'll need to improve drastically if we're going to be a significant part of September.
Looking forward to the finals now. |
Jez, good summation there bro, but with 10 minutes to go, I could see all the hard work achieved in 2018 unravelling before our eyes.
As a spectacle, it was absolutely nothing to be proud of, or ever looked at again. Freo set up very well, crumbed all of our dropped marks on the half volley, and there were f&cking plenty. It was indeed a an epic clusterf%ck.
A couple of underperforming senior players are in for rude shocks when their names aren't called out in the next 22 for the QF.
Geebung would have been watching our game just GAGGING for a Freo win, and pissing themselves stupid, to have another crack at us.

If we don't see him again in 2018, thanks for two very serviceable games when the heat was on, and our backline under siege lad. Bravo

Me too; and I have endured a demoralising drought that not even the farmers could get near, giving me a massive head start on you pal!

Only have to win 3 more games now. 3/3 or 3/4. Either will do.

To add to that, the team that has finished on top at round 23 has contested the GF in every recent year and lost most of them

Collingwood dont have the cattle to win the flag from here though. |

SIER
how the #$# does a kid come in and look like he's played 150 games. I credit Pendles for imparting some of his matrix composure to our other mids. |
Agree Cam. I've been very impressed with Sier since he has cemented a place in the team. Yep, I'm sure he's had the best teachers in Pendles, Sidey and some wonderful coaches. |

So the result today really was remarkable. |
