Graham Cornes on Collingwood

Yes:

The reality, however, is that Collingwood is the Paris Hilton of the AFL. It is famous for being famous. One premiership in 50 years is not the record of a club that presumes the role of AFL superiority.

Just when you thought Punky had run out of reasons to hate Graham Cornes and Glenelg any more....

I hope the great man has fire insurance on his house...

Great article

Always good to stir up the Collingwood supporters I reckon

It's already generated a 14 page thread on BigFooty!

Hey Cornsey

Collingwood -
116 years
39 GF's - 1 every 3 years
14 premierships - 1 every 8 years


Glenelg -
87 years
14 GF's - 1 every 6 years
4 premierships - 1 every 22 years

Not disputing that, but you're not comparing apples for apples

[GWW]

The difference being that Glenelg don't go claiming themselves to be the greatest football club the universe has ever seen.

Hey Eddie
Collingwood -
116 years
39 GF's - 1 every 3 years
14 premierships - 1 every 8 years


Carlton -
144 years
SINCE 1897
29 GF's - 1 every 4 years
16 premierships - 1 every 7 years

Premierships against Collingwood = 5
so go fukk yourself Edddie

And to compare a SANFL team against the biggest mob of underachievers in the VFL/AFL LMAO.....

[NO-MERCY]

Carlton 16 premierships in 144 yrs = 1 every 9 years not 7.

[rod_rooster]

Who cares about how often a team averages a flag? I'm personally just concerned with how often my side wins for me to see it. If i was a Collingwood supporter i would be pretty disappointed. 1 flag in the past 50 years. Rubbish football club on the field. Strong club off the field. If that is pleasing to the Pies supporters then good for them.

[RustyCage]

Carlton 16 premierships in 144 yrs = 1 every 9 years not 7.

The 1-7 comes since 1897, as he stated in his post

Because I relied on the history section of your website and maybe it should get its facts right

And when you play with statistics, it is very easy to select a period that suits your argument. You have been in ther SANFL for 87 years and we have been in the VFL/AFL for 116 years.

Face it - Glenelg's performance shows that IT is the most overrated sporting club and you pinup boy is the most overrated sporting (lack of) personality in SA. I only wish he had stayed coach of the crows so he could maintain his wonderful coaching record

Oh well - then it would be the battle of the 2 biggest mobs of underachievers in the 2 comps

Nice stats but what about the article? Anyone can work out some GF stats I want to hear what you think about the $8m loss?

Given that Graeme played in one of Glenelg's more successful eras and coached 2 of their 4 premierships he probably doesn't care too much about the 100 year comparison.

But, if we are talking stats. On Collingwood's, it's interesting to break them down between modern game and the B&W days:
- last 50 years: 11 GF's, 1 premiership
- before that: 28 GF's, 13 premierships

[Jimmy_041]

Simple mate - we have it to lose it and will keep going on - we can absorb it better than anyone

What? We are the only ones making a loss in the world?
