Should Collingwood field their league or B team next week?

Question

Weren't they horrible last night? What a mob of pretenders!

As one critic put it, "the game's skill levels peaked at terrible and plummeted to horrific".

It is an injustice to have teams like Richmond, Carlton

and Essendon outside the top eight and to have this

team of scaredey-cats playing finals football next

wweek.

Answer 1

Whoa, easy there mate! The skill level was shocking, but Collingwood have shown that they are a good side capable of playing quality footy in other games this year. Yes, they are inconsistent, but they have a young team, so it is expected. With Wakelin, Thomas, and Burns returning to the side, they should play a little better next week!

Richmond, Carlton and Essendon have all been inconsistent too, and only hit form in the past few weeks, and if they wanted to be in finals, they should have performed better earlier in the season!

Should be interesting to see what happens next week! :) :)

Answer 2

dude calm down your team couldnt do any better your team is full of **** players who everyone rated too highly. they couldnt even make the finals twice in 8 years collingwood has made all from pretty good sides and average sides.

oh and why didnt your team make the finals?huh?

Answer 3

We all know how ferala Tiger supporters are, but 3 questions about the same game from one person? OK, The Pies were woeful but Geelong and Adelaide both slaughtered the Tigers - Remember?

In fact you neglected to report on the worst aspect of the game - the return of Macavaney. What a useless fool. No commentator, just leaves with inane questions. Well past his use-by date. Or is it a Beijing hangover?

Answer 4

LOL that 2nd answerer said that WA supporters are feral... surely you have seen how the vic supporters can get ... **shudders**

and i only watched a bit of the first quarter of this match, and i reckon the kids in auskick at half time woulda put on a better display than collingwood.

Collingwood have shown through out the year that they have a good side capable of performing in the finals...those teams are outside the eight because they have shown themselves not to be consistent enough...they dont deserve to be in the finals full stop. They left their runs far too late which is not good enough.

Answer 6

Well not really, sure i would love to see my Bombers play in the finals in 08 but its not to be this year and we have to accept that.

Collingwood are a good side more than capable of beating anyone in the competition, however sometimes they underestimate teams like Carlton and Essendon and they end up losing.

I dont think they underestimates freo last night, the freo supporters got behind them and lifted their team to get them over the line, plus unlike collingwood freo had nothing to lose.

Bloody WA supporters.....such ferals
