    Collingwood going good.

    They are playing well atm. Bucks is still a very good player and they have a lot of young talent, as well as blokes like Lica, Tarrant and Rocca that deserve plenty of respect. Presti and Clement are solid at the back (we could well do with a Presti) and they are playing with a lot of enthusiaism. Early doors I know, but I'll stick my neck out and say a top 6 finish.

    Agree there (injuries aside). Didak back fit is a very handy player in the forward 50, it seems Lonie is finally stepping up, and they have a solid, if not spectacular group of midfielders (Burns, Lockyer, O'Bree, Holland).

    I'm on the Chandwagon!!!

    If you cannot compete for the premiership, it's better to be young and exciting than middle-aged and dowdy.

              The great thing about watching them today was that they had numerous midfielders/flankers coming forward that could hit targets. Wow.
              I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
              We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

                If Tarrant can learn to kick straight, they will be very hard to beat.
                They were always going to be big improvers from last year, once Buckley, Didak, Rocca, and the other injured from last year returned.

                    Collingwood are starting to look really good again. That young Thomas is a gun, I swear.

                    The arrogance has returned as well. Did anyone hear Eddie comments about the possible guernsey clash against North. His reply was along the lines of "There wasn't a problem determining the two teams. The ones with the ball were Collingwood!"

                    Man, Collingwood have a habit of getting under everyone's skin like no other side, I swear.

                    HATE HATE HATE!

                      Are you all kidding? A win over a very unfit Essendon who couldn't run out the match!

                      What a joke. Wait until they play West Coast/Dogs/Hawks and even Geelong - that will show them up as the slow hacks they are.

                      Buckley is going to star as Diver Dan in the remake of Sea Change.

                        The Wobbles always start well.

                        And I don't care if they win the flag, you NEVER EVER praise them.

                            Well footy tipping is different, you pick the side that you think will win. I too chose Collingwood to beat the Bombers only because man-for-man the pies were much better. Will I ever be a fan of Collingwood? NO!

                              Me too, but I still hate them, but then again I hate Essendon too.
