Like many ppl have said, its only been 6 rounds for goodness sake. Now is not the time to be saying the season is over. If we only had 3 wins by round 9 i'd be worrying slightly, but geez its still early!

Expectation from last year is high, but i'm sure the boys will come good and start working well as a team again. This year is far from over.

Millane42 ...

I'm as pissed off as anyone about last night's game. It was a shattering experience watching our team humled by the worst team in the competition and the weakest club in the history of League Football.

But how many times have we seen teams struggling early in the season, only to turn their season around at some point. It happens every year. St.Kilda in 1997 ... Brisbane in 2001 .... Collingwood in 2002.

We are nowhere near gone ... Winning those first 3 matches (as unimpressive as we might have been) has given us a bit of breathing space. Admittedly our "breathing space" is starting to run out. But for all our poor form we are still 50-50 as far as wins and losses go.

Will you still be writing us off after we bring off an upset win in Adelaide next week ... Because all the ingredients are there. We'll cop a predictable and well-deserved pasting in the media. The Crows will be feeling invincible after their big win last Friday. An upset is very much on the cards.

Those guys who looked so abysmal last night are actually a very fine bunch of players. Elite sportsmen, one and all. That last quarter revival proved that they've still got what it takes to play very good football. You can be absolutely sure that no stone will be left unturned to get them back on track.

And even if we get thumped in Adelaide, we'll still only be 3-4 ... Hardly suicide material at this stage.

Hey. I'm not living in denial here ... We've got major problems right now ... But our season is definitely not over. In fact, I've got a funny feeling it hasn't even STARTED yet.

Maintain the faith, Millane42.

You didn't really mean what you said. You were shattered ... like the rest of us ... and you reacted a bit theatrically.

I've forgiven you already ... even though you haven't apologised.

Millane42,
I bet your tune last year was different when Rocca and Tarrant were firing, the Davis' were kicking goals, everyone from Fraser to Licuria were killing it, we beat Port, made the GF, Bucks was.... well JUST BUCKS and MM was the greatest coach we ever had hey?

You are very lucky you didn't mention Eddie's name in your poor excuse for a "post" or you would be lynched bitch.

Very well said Special Delivery I couldn't agree with you more! Smile

A great post by you too Alf! Smile

I reckon Millane42 is just purging his spleen, and who could blame him? (that's my entry for the dumb question of the week award).
Come the weekend he'll be back yelling at the TV again no doubt.

I think the most disappointing thing is the personal attacks on millane42 for stating his opinion. What happened to the rules or do they go out the window if you don't go along with popular opinion?

The most predictable thing on here is the rhetoric from certain individuals thrown at you if you do not agree with them.

We all saw the game and obviously some supporters are more pissed off than others.

Malthouse stated into today's Herald Sun that we lost faith after Easter and I feel he is spot on the money about that.

Criticise all you like, and call me what you want - but the fact remains we are playing shit footy and are 3-3, with the SWANS above us on the ladder. I'm not happy with that thanks charli and lorelei (c'mon Jen don't get personal here) - you may be satisfied with that but i'm not. We should have beaten brisbane, essendon just had one of those games where everything went right, but we should have had the leadership to overcome the swans, but we didn't. Why? Why are we soft at contests why do we continually run under the ball? why do we continually let our opponents run free to kick goals? There are some serious problems to address.

Gee it's original when someone says "go support bitchmond", "you're not a true supporter" - well bad luck to all of you who said that - i'm as big a supporter as all of you of everything collingwood and that's why i'm hurting so much.... I LOVED Millane and he truly represents what collingwood football club is - which is the exact opposite to what the players are showing at the moment.

I'm not giving up on them but gee it hurts. I just have the feeling that the players have a mindset they only have to turn up and they'll win. Also the mindset a top 4 place will just be handed out. We have to lift. Josh what are you doing? 3-4 is not going to lead to a top 4. i personally think we are gone - that's my opinion and i'll stick to it.

Millane42 - you are a disgrace to the memory of Pants. Change your nickname now. It's only only Round 6 and you are writing is off. I 'spose you were wrighting us off towards the end of last year when lost few games before the finals ? :mad

HOLD THE PHONE! Millane 42 has announced the season over. It appears to be a simple case of speak before think here. It's fine to vent but if you wish to vent frustration on these boards expect to cop a hiding from those of us who like to stay positive. You live, you learn. I think we are all frustrated by the team losing 3 straight but as has been posted in other threads, now is the time to get behind the boys (because the chips are down!)
