Yep, too early to be thinking about the Grand Final. Hopefully we can do that after today's game. _________________ Well done boys! |

Here’s one, should we win today:
Since 1981, we will have reached a grand final on seven occasions. Our record against Melbourne-based teams in that time is 2–0 (Essendon, St Kilda), whereas our record against non-Melbourne-based teams is 0-4 (Brisbane x2, Geelong, West Coast). Let’s hope we can go 3–0. _________________ "Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence." – Julian Assange |

Here's one for the omen conscious.
GWS made the PF in both 2016 and 2017. Both times they lost to the eventual Premier.
So if we win today........ _________________ Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down. |

I think that rainbow in the first quarter might have been a bad omen for us. Sydney after all is the Mardi Gras city. |

Yes, it is. Because the last time a Coronation was held , the Queen was in 1953, and the Magpies made the GF, an beat the Cats, in a tight match and it was called, the Coronation Premiership, back then. Now its 2023, exactly 70 year later, to the year, same time. So, maybe, just maybe its a good omen for us , can King Charlie bring home the Flag for the Maggies, time will tell, but you never know , hey. Heck im no big fan of Royalty, but if de ja vu can happen, then, as the Poms say, " Jolly good show ". _________________ Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

If there is a causal relationship between British monarch coronations and Collingwood premiership flags, then we should definitely hope that the monarchy staggers along a few years more.
We should also hope that there is a high attritition rate with monarchs, so that as many coronations as possible can be packed into whatever time remains for this absurd institution. _________________ Free Julian Assange!!

If so, we might have to speed up turnover in that role and get some coronations happening more regularly. Any 21st-century Cromwells looking for work?

Hope you don’t have a “coronary” watching the game comrade 🤨😝 _________________ I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️ |
