What crap. They did not play for positions as much as just to maintain winning form. Choice would be for 6 day break against Cats or 7 day break against us. More relevent. Cats will have a days advantage and Dogs away from home.
We have Pies with samme break as us and their home ground.
Are you serious? They now play on Sunday and they play an opponent who is unfamiliar with their home ground. Don't confuse the dissapointment of a loss with the fear of playing the Saints.
We were average again today and the Pies will be confident of a win.
We desperately need to find our mojo again. How easily did the worst team this year bring it out of defence?

Very concerned...
Again, Collingwood were chipping it sideways and backwards when they were down by 2 goals...

Your post above is incorrect. Did you watch the last quarter of the game at all? Bulldogs were desperately trying to kick the 2 goals needed for the 22 points and Pies were chipping it and around and playing keepings off (instead of attacking which is what you would assume they would try to do if they actually wanted to win it) to try and make sure the Bulldogs didn't get those 2 goals. To say otherwise means that you did not watch the game or your have no idea about the game.

Is it crap because it's not negative? Why don't you just give up now? haven't posted anything positive for months.

Agreed!
We are on top of the ladder. Why are we playing on the Pies' home ground. I thought the team placed higher had a home game advantage......
Now I'm not sure how much should be read into this...
But did anyone else see the shot of Malthouse's reaction on the siren?
He looked very, very disappointed ON THE SIREN - i.e. disappointed as you would in a close game. The relevant margin for Collingwood tonight was 22 points, not the straight win or loss, and that's what Malthouse's face seemed to show.

Of course... he knew what was at stake.
If they'd only lost by 20 points they would've been celebrating it like a win.
I thought the reasoning for either of the teams lay with the fear of coming up against Adelaide in the do or die match if they lose in the first week of the finals.
I would rather be playing the winner out of Brisbane and the blues as opposed to Adelaide (who i think will beat the Bombers on current form) Either way whoever won or loss today out of the Pies or the Dogs would have surely thought that they may have to take on both us and the Cats if they want to play in the grandfinal via the Prelims. But would rathered to have made an easier trip to the Prelim finals through either the Blues or the Lions.

OK that's settled then, you go in concerned and I'll go in optimistic....

I reckon both of those sides would rightly think they are a chance against the Cats.... much less so against the Saints.
