In isolation I agree, but in Collingwood's case I think it shows how well they've done to be where they are.

Are Goldscak and Reid included in that stat? If so, you take off their 300 games and they're back to the pack.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

I wonder what Chris Fagan thinks of the comments made today by Nick Robertson? At least you can't accuse him of rolling out the same old tired cliches.

"I'm looking forward to getting stuck into them on the weekend and so are all the other boys. I reckon they're soft to be completely honest so I'm looking forward to getting into them. It's just the rivalry. They reckon they're the team in Queensland and so do we. I think they take a bit of a backward step when blokes go hard at the footy. I hope they hear that too."

I like it. Bloody hell nothing wrong with that. Now go out there and back it up.

But of passion about your football. Good on him.

That's awesome! The issue is, coaches won't like it. The media will torture the bloke if they lose and we'll go back to cliche's at which time the media will complain that all we get is cliche's. No one, with an opinion, can win.

Buckley's coaching group and Cameron's coaching group must be given credit for implementing systems that, like Hawthorn, aren't as reliant on personnel but are reliant on adhering to the system.

This usually back fires on me when i say stuff like this because it just seems to work that way. But i am reasonably confident about our game tomorrow...

Now i am expecting to lose by 10 goals :lol:
