Collingwood - Pathetic?

Question

Why are they so pathetic?

They can't even beat a team that was on a 14 game losing street.

Answer 1

I don't know why Collingwood are so pathetic.

Correction; I mean pathetic today - like Fremantle were this week; like WCE were; like Melbourne were; like St Kilda were....

Next week one of these 'pathetic' teams will come out & play like champions. It seems to be the trend, so far, this season.

Answer 2

Carlton were just the better team on the day

Answer 3

phewww! I'm rapt the blues won,i couldn't bear to listen to the pies supporters at work if we hadn't not to mention a few on here (like one above me rogue lol ) and one of my best mates who would have gave it to me especially with the "record" at stake.

the blues seemed to gel today and if they can continue to play consistently like that they'll win a few more games yet.

GO BLUES!

Answer 4

They just outplayed them and were more efficient inside 50

So much for the tipping comp this week

Answer 5

im a pies fan and yes we were disappointing yesterday but i wouldn't go as far as saying their pathetic.

we played pathetic but there's a difference between playing pathetic and being pathetic. do u get what i mean ??

collingwood vs carlton is a big rivalry match so it's one of those games where your position on the ladder doesn't really come into the game. its a game where anything is possible as proven by carlton yesterday.

Answer 6

As much as I would always agree with you that Collingwood are pathetic, it is always tough a Carlton V Collingwood clash.

Losing streaks and ladder positions matter little with this rivalry - I consider it the greatest rivalry in the AFL. On that note, I do not understand why the AFL has a rivalry round and they do not have these two teams playing each other. But anyway, back to the issue at hand.

As much as it hurts me to say it, I do not actually think Collingwood is a pathetic side. They just did not fire yesterday and Carlton had a greater sense of occasion and played out of their skins.

Like I said, I just think it was a case of it just being a Carlton V Collingwood game.

Answer 7

They are pathetic on purpose - it gives us non Magpie fans more reason to ridicule them.

Answer 8

being pathetic at centre breaks isnt going to win you a game...

...doesnt matter where Carlton is on the ladder, all bets are off when Collingwood & Carlton play

Answer 9

quite embarrassing i agree

just had a bad game i reckon

who was playing on fevola? shane wakelin?

Answer 10

I have seen at least a dozen games over the last few years where a team underestimated the lowly blues and had to put up a fight. But in all other cases they came back and won in the 4th quarter... the one that sticks in my mind most was last season when the eagles came back from a few goals down to win by about 4 goals and Juddy was a big part of that.

But today- i didn't even see Dale Thomas till he took that grab in the last quarter and rocca didn't get a look in either. Much as I love Carlton, they only won today because Collingwood didn't apply pressure in the right match-ups. Still, the Pies always come back from a loss- they'll stomp the kangaroos next week I reckon.

Answer 11

Its Finals that Count...

And it would be a safe bet to say the Blues wont be there when it matters....

The Pies are as consistent as an Old Man's erection.....

When we're on Song, its like the Angels are singing....hahaha

Answer 12

Carlton are jus too  good for them. maybe they should not be so dirty and give away 50's next time.

Answer 13

Collinwood played c**p yesterday. they were pathetic ur right. im a mega magpies fan but they did play c**p. i dont know what was wrong with them. Leon Davis, Dale Thomas and Paul Medhurst wern't running like they normally do. Anthony Rocca wasn't getting his usual marks and Travis Cloke wasn't getting near the ball. Wat was wrong with them? they just didn't play like they normally do. oh well, they'll come back on saturday night and beat nrth melb. Go the Pies!
