I truly believe we have a side that can make it. Our defense looks great because our opponents are finding it harder to clear the ball out of the 50 unlike in the passed few years. Clement and Wakelin have added much needed height. Loine is a star already, sneaking forward and getting amazing goals. Lockyer also getting important goals and looking like he can play anywhere. (Apart from being a ruckman Image) Rest of the defense continues to improve. But having said that we tend to frail and let teams back into the match.
Most of the time we win the ball out of the middle mostly thanks to McKee who has improved out of nowhere. In my opinion Josh Fraser is a great ruckman around the ground but struggles in the middle, properly due to being sick with Chicken pocks during the pre-season, therefore not having much chance to improve his skills or build his body up. No doubt he will be a star. Good to see with have a forward line with players that know how to lead properly. Tarrant is no surprise; Molloy wile not getting goals lately is leading well and making the job easier for others.

Lots more to add but I would be here forever. Greatly improved Collingwood side. Now if we can win these close games.
