lol bit early to be celebrating?
forgotten last year already?
Yes, a bit early. But we have every right to be celebrating, to come from where we were at the beginning of the season and from round 3 at 1-2 and in crisis talks to top of the ladder coming into the bye and winning 9 games from 11 with 1/2 to 2/3 of a best 22 team.
Difference between this year and last year, we won games comprehensively and easily in the first 20 rounds and probably peaked to early with all our guns firing. This year had to do it tough with multiple key players out for a majority of the time and getting games into younger players - who for the most part are doing very well.
Honestly, if we're at full strength bar season ending injuries come finals time, we are the team to beat. What makes me say this is that we are winning the games we're expected to win unlike the pretenders, and we have beaten teams when we were challenged and the odds were against us. Best part is we're doing this with the absence of key players and we are yet to show our form from late 2010 and early 2011.
Well done Collingwood, it truly is 'Us against them'!!

lol. 2012PretendersAfterCarlton. You won't be a serious contender for a few more years, you have to win the games against lesser teams like melbourne. And after losing to them you should be firing to go 1st quarter next game but you weren't...

If that's aimed at me, i actually think essendon will finish 3-5th. But what i said is true, if you want to be taken seriously you have to win games against lower teams there are no excuses. Your boys should've been filthy with that performance and should have come out firing against the swans.

I couldn't ask for anymore from the team to be honest. We are 9-2 despite having an extensive injury list. The improvement of second tier players such as Sidebottom, Beams, Wellingham and Sinclair has been remarkable.

I can only imagine how strong we will be when our full team returns next year.

We have to be premiership favourites surely, however it's better to fly under the radar. :)

We'll let the Hawks take the spotlight as being favourites for the flag.
