Annodam is as about a good Collingwood supporter as her namesake is a singer/actress/dancer/human being...ie totally shit.

The sooner this non suoorter gets ignored totally the better.

A mixture of disappointment, relief & pride.

Always sad to bow out, but I think if we had of somehow pinched it, it would have been really ugly next week.

I cant knock the players effort, they just had nothing left. Its been a really hard season, and with everything thats happened in the last 2 weeks, its just all caught up with us. but we're still good enough to finish top 4 in an 18 team competition - a great effort really.

The Swans were just too good tonight. That weeks rest really makes the difference. I hope they can win it for Rhys & Sam, that would be a great story.

As for next season. I'm really confident of another great season. Ball, Caff, Keefe all back, and maybe Witts & Cegler getting a run. Not to mention who we might pick up along the way. I just hope Trav stays.

Congrats to Bucks for finishing in the top 4 in your first season, I'm sure he's learnt a lot.

Looking forward to next season already.

GO PIES!!!!

While I'm obviously disappointed on the result, to be honest I think the physical and emotional toll of the past couple of weeks finally caught up with our boys tonight. They were running on half empty from the first bounce. I'm still proud that they never gave up and tried valiantly to turn things around in the last quarter. You can hold your heads up high Pies.

Well said but somebody like Hiss will accuse you of being a club plant with those words
That's just a Hiss smoke screen. :wink: There's no bogger insider than our Hiss. :lol:

Come on 2013.
Hope you're wrong on both counts.

Well said. I just posted that on my facebook in response to a "friend" stirring me by having a go at Buckley. I truly believe Mick could not have done any better. A good outcome for a hard year. Just not the outcome I was hoping for. But the guys did us proud.

As I said before very proud of the boys but FFS how many times were the Swan players caught with the ball and those stupid pathetic yellow canaries refuse to pay Holding the Ball.

The sooner there is a shake up within the umpiring ranks the better.

In some ways it's a relief to have the hoodoo broken. Next year we can start another one.

We now have a coach who handles himself with dignity and integrity. Its such a refreshing change from the previous 12 seasons. He has been magnificent for our club this season. I couldn't be happier with the change.

Handled the media well. But on field we have gone backwards. I know which I'd prefer to have (hint it's not the media handling :wink:).
Well done boys!

last finals series was in reality no better than this one. And we didn't get belted this year like we did v Geelong last year.

Reckon if mick was coach we would have done about the same, but then we would have lost one year developing bucks.
Buon Giorno

Inky, you really need to get over your love affair with MM. Time to move on mate.

No coach in the country could have done more than Bucks did this year with the unsettled line-up due to injuries to key players, the Cloke saga and having to put up with MM sniping in the media. Bucks has been a sensational coach. I'm extremely proud of him and the team this year.

4 ruptured ACLs.

A bitter ex-coach brawling with the president in the full glare of the media.

A star player and his lunatic manager/father turning a contract negotiation into a bad soap opera.

A new coach in his first year.

37 players out of 48 at the club utilized.

2 rookies pressed into senior duties.

Injuries to players each week, seemingly without relent.

Other players out of form.

A gameplan that has been worked out.

The media savaging us like they never have before.

Every 2-bit commentator writing us off.

Umpires finding new ways to screw us over.

A club-imposed suspension to a champion player in our midfield.

A death in the family.

And still, still, we made it to a preliminary final.

I am sad. I am hurt.

But in the face of all of that, I am still proud of our boys, our club and all that we have managed to achieve this year.

Recover and re-load for next year, Collingwood.

This magpie will be with you again when the ball is bounced again in 2013...
nice post
understanding stuff, with endeavour to overstand..

NicksBB is a heap of shit, circa 2012.

Good once upon a time, not anymore.

Donny, HISS, and Jack Spain et al, can **** off and rot in hell.

RIP NicksBB 2012.

Bye
