Pendles, in my many yrs a Magpie fan, hes one of the best six players i have seen, myself. The others being Len Thompson, McKenna, Daicos the first, Millane, and of course, Bucks.

What a bizarre, wonderful yet stressful time to be a Collingwood fan.
Six of our last 7 games have been won by under 2 goals and 4 of those were by 5pts or less.
Our greatest winning margin during this period was 26pts and came at the expense of last years best side in Melbourne.
Like I said. Bizarre.

Also, don't forget we got Krueger next year.
Interesting how it all will unfold, I hope like a fairytale. đ§

Well now, maybe, just maybe, Nick Riewoltd is onto something, perhaps, he did say if we finish top four, we can win the Premiership. So there ya go. !

Some thoughts
Sick of the umpires umpiring the player and not the game. I saw many examples of players getting away doing the same thing as Ginnivan. Umpire consistently or else it is bordering on incompetence.
I couldnât care about the margin as long as we end up winning. My heart doesnât like it but my head loves Collingwood getting the 4 points. Winning is also a habit Iâm glad we have.
We can only improve with the injured players coming back.
Love the confidence that this team has about being able to play hard until the very last minute.
I donât compare this team with other flag winning teams I have seen as n 1990 and 2010. Let them make their own mark during the finals.
I love watching this team perform week in and week out.
Lastly we made the right decision in getting McRae as coach. Great choice.

Great win....again!!
Carmichael, Johnson and Bianco all played well.
Nick Daicos is such a gun. Screw the rising star, how about the Brownlow?!?! |

Jack Ginnivan canât buy a free kick now. You know itâs ridiculous when Jonathon Brown is ridiculing other commentators about the decisions.
Nick Daicos has the composure and foot skills of Pendles.
12 wins. 1 more win guarantees us finals but this might be enou. Fantastic effort in a rebuild year.

I hate Geelong at the moment.
They are a copycat side.
Just because we won 7 straight games, they too must copy us and take the glory.
Now that we have 8, let's hope they fail.

| For one of the few times this year I can say the umpires didn't do us in. The Ginnivan free kick against for hold in the ball was a howler with a 50m penalty thrown in for Pendlebury questioning the decision. Some other questionable decisions but overall the umpires umpired it as they saw it. Ginnivan now has to play the game as though he doesn't expect the free kick. Otherwise he's penalizing the team. |

^ I don't accept that, at all. They can do what they like about head-high tackles, if they must (although it would be nice if all players were adjudicated the same way). It is entirely unacceptable, though, that the umpires allowed him to be manhandled illegally throughout the game, in all sorts of other ways. There is no warrant for ignoring the entire rule book every time Ginnivan goes to a contest.

No room for sentiment, here. It's nice to have the long streak for a couple of hours but I'll be even happier if Carlton is put to the sword. And, let's be blunt, I'll be supporting every umpiring decision to pay soft head-high tackle free kicks to Geelong tonight, even though our players apparently have no necks.

Round 17 vs North Melbourne = +7

Not going to get a good percentage looking at those figures |
Much prefer the 4 points to %! Just keep winning pies, just Beat carton by 1 point in round 23!!! |

I know you said it all before but it bares repeating yeah!
3 goals, 40 touches...forget rising star, this kid is due to be up there for the Charlie!
Thought we were due for a big one...48 points I said...well 4.8 will do
