1. Injury - most lists have a capable first 22, but depth beyond that is what makes the better sides. So you either have luck with injury or you have depth. We are due for some luck on this front, and we know from last year we have the depth and are confident that we can cover injuries.

No club has depth --- at least not enough to cover the carnage that all contenders except the Tiggers had last year.
We still don't know how much our injuries have been due to bad luck.

OH really, may I remind u mate, that two yrs ago when nearly everybody on Nicks was calling for Bucks to be sacked, I was one of the only ones here who constantly defended him, time and again. ?? I was never negative about bucks, I knew he would come good as a coach, and he did. You have a hide saying im only happy when im miserable bout the teams performance, im far from pessimistic each game, if u want to see miserable types, go on the match thread during the game, so many give up on us early in the game, then if we win, they come trolling back, happy again. If u had seen us lose eleven grand finals, five by less than one friggin goal, I wonder how positive u would be, thsts 11 losses for only 2 wins, how the hell would u feel, then, hey.   |
I never mentioned the teams' performance. What I was thinking of was your "the sky is falling in" attitude every time there is an injury or an umpire pays a controversial decision against us. I don't know whether you realise it or not, but that's the way you come across to me, and probably to others as well.
I have only seen 10 losing GF's so I will just have to rely on your word that no.11 is the one that kills the positivity. At the moment though I am feeling really buoyant and looking forward to this season more than I have for any season since 2011. |

We've been cursed ever since the second half of 1970 and even our last 2 Premierships took us an extra finals game to achieve.
Nothing comes easy at Collingwood.
Last year we had a hard fought opportunity to win an unlikely flag, to get one back on all the Collingwood hating bastards and it all looked likely when we kicked the first 5 goals of the game.
And then the inevitable.
I can only hope now that it was the start of something truly special to come from this group and the pain of that loss will be erased by a Premiership this season and/or next because right now that loss is still gnawing away at me.

We have depth, we showed it last year, and a lot of injuries is just what happens, but a team with no injuries in a contact sport is lucky no doubt about it.

I totally hear you PNC.
The GF loss last year has been very difficult to take and has knocked the wind out of a few supporters i know.
The positive is that we have a bloody good team that has the capability to challenge for the premiership.

I have to disagree...PnC has been one of the most optimistic people on this board.
The OP show true pain. Something that 12 GF losses will do and something that only a small number of people...all Collingwood supporters know.
No other supporter could know this pain....and they never will. |

I feel the same as the poster. I got excited in 64 with Gabbo went to 70 as a 16 year old; attended every GF except 90 and 2010 (went to the draw) and last year. At half time last year I had a sinking feeling. When that prick kicked that last goal I shut TV and took the dog for a long walk. I am close to now only watching replays that we win. I know others in the same position. I let my MCG membership go because I don't need the gutsache again.
Still B & W forever. Whatever that entails.
PS: my 28 yo son who watched 90 (before he was born) cassette more than anybody now works professionally at $$%^%%$ Carlton and we don't even talk footy anymore. I despise them more than before which I never imagined possible. Hope this year eases the pain but last year's result was gut wrenching for all the above reasons.
