Those hoodoos (such as the Richmond and Geelong ones) aren't going to last forever. A lot of clubs have had the wood on us for the last decade, but bit-by-bit it's turning around. In a few years time there's going to be a lot of clubs wondering when their long run of losses against Collingwood is ever going to end.

This year Richmond has shown what paper tigers they really are. The beat us in Round 1, when we were riddled with injuries and completely underdone. Ottens and Richardson both played matches completely out of their arses ... and even then they struggled to beat us.

Since then Richmond has been a joke.

They will need to miraculously turn their season completely around to get anywhere near us next time the two sides meet.

And if Geelong manages to beat us this year I will personally cut the grass at Kardinia Park ... with a pair of nail scissors ... and then walk home ... naked ... on my 99th birthday ... but only if there is a hailstorm.

Is that a threat or a promise Alf??

Neither, my friend.

It's a declaration of my total faith in our wonderful team.

we've got a VERY important hoodoo to break this week, against the roos. we HAVE to win. throughout the last decade, when it's mattered, the roos have beaten us. sure, we've beaten them a few times late in the past few seasons, but usually, by then, those games didn't matter. huge game this week.

I agree Foxy. We should have won the close one last year.
This time if it comes down to a shootout between the Rocca Brothers I hope Ant comes out on top.

Rule 1. Barrack for Collingwood
Rule 2. See rule 1.
Rule 3. There is no rule 3.

Only a week or so to go, I wanted to keep this thread alive .

REVENGE WILL BE SWEET

That's rubbish, BJ. You only revived this to remind everyone about my threat/promise/whatever to cut the grass at Kardinia Park with nail scissors and walk home naked on my 99th birthday if the unthinkable happens on Saturday.

I'm not worried in the slightest ... Collingwood by 88 points.

THEN we'll deal with the yellow and crap.
