Nah. 
Port and us are a much bigger threat. 
 

Geelong need to miraculously get all their injured players back playing at their best to win the flag. They got very lucky with injuries last week and timed the resting of their stars perfectly. They don’t have the luxury this year to do that given where they are on the ladder. 
If they go on a big winning streak now, I don’t think they’ll have much left in the tank to win it come September. 
I still maintain that if Pies don’t go down by a point to the Swans in the prelim, Geelong don’t win the flag last year. 
 

Going back to back is SO hard. It’s even harder when your list is as old as theirs and as heavily reliant on those aging stars.

    All salient points.

    However, Geelong is Geelong. I just can’t write them off in any way shape or form.

    Meanwhile if the grand final/hostile venue gets the better of some or all of Butters, Rozee, and JHF then the experienced Collingwood side will overwhelm them.

    I would love nothing more than us being in the conversation in relation to sides that can threaten Collingwood, like you mentioned above.

    Good side or paper over cracks? 

    10 goals, 10 behinds tonight. Most inaccurate they've been for 6 weeks.

    I think we had a win over Freo on expected scores back in round 11.

    If top 2/4/8 doesn’t go our way, the Freo loss will be at front of our regret line.

    I think the illness sweeping through the Magpies is a bigger deal than they’re letting on. I say this because four kids in my son’s year 12 class went to a meet and greet one night last week with several Collingwood players in attendance. Both Daicos  boys were there. Three of the four kids fell ill within a couple of days but before they took ill they were at school as per usual. Right now my poor boy is sicker than he’s ever been before; raging red tonsils, zero energy and a loss of appetite being the main symptoms. It may be a coincidence, but it’s possibly not.

    Because Geelong. Write them off at your peril despite the hard draw you’ve conveyed.
    Chris Scott’s a freak of a coach that will get his side on some stupid 9 game winning streak, or 10 of last 11.
    Are the only threat to Collingwood’s flag this year.

    I suspect the main reason for the short odds is the number of punters who got over-excited and jumped on them when they went on a 5-game winning streak to go up 5-3. I agree with you about Chris Scott. The only threat to Geelong this year? Are you serious? Let's say they get on a roll and go 9-2 for the rest of the year and finish 5th. They still have to win 4 games, at least one of them interstate. It isn't going to happen. Last year they went on their roll after being 5-4, had a couple of close games which they won, were gifted 4 games playing North & West Coast twice, and won after being Minor Premiers. Fans were saying the same thing abour Richmond last year. They won their 3 Premierships from 3rd after finishing off all those H&A seasons strongly, won their last 4 H&A games on 2022, last 3 massively. They dropped out mith an unlucky 2 point loss to Brrisbane in an Elimination Final. The point here is Top 4 is almost a necessity. In fact since 2000, 22 of 23 Premiers finished Top 3 with 1 side winning from 7th.

    Geelong had a very soft run home last year from a higher ladder position. They have a very tough run home this year (basically, because they were 2022 Premiers a tougher draw than they received for finishing 4th in 2021). I think their injury problems are now largely behind them. Where they were fortunate last year was their narrow win in the Qualifying Final. It would have been much harder to win 3 on the trot if they'd lost. They got a soft win against Brisbane when the latter were worn out from excessive masturbation celebrating their lucky win against Melbourne, and then an exhausted Swans who had had 2 very tough Finals wins against Melbourne & Colingwood. You could argue Melbourne had a similar sequence of soft Finals games in 2021.

    I agree Collingwood are well-placed this year, with Port Adelaide (highly likely) & Brisbane (still very likely) to be Top 4. Back to your earlier point. imo Geelong are not the only threat to Collingwood’s flag this year, in fact are not a threat at all. I'm happy to revisit that view if Geelong miraculously finish Top 4 (which they won't).

    Idk about everyone else but with India needing 280 off 97 overs with seven wickets in hand on this, the final day of play in the one-off World Test Championship, I’ll be glued to the cricket tonight. There’s only one thing that’d make me flick over to the footy and that’s to see 🤮 Essendon 🤮 lose to the Blues. If that happens, and North beat GWS today, that’ll mean three consecutive days of great footy results, including tomorrow, that is.

    It’s better for our draft position if GWS beat North tho…

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
