Collingwood 0 wins against top 8 sides. Hopefully a slide is inevitable.
 
Bulldogs havent mustered a yelp for a while either.
The company really drops away after 6th in my opinion.

We'll play finals because the mini comp now comes down to who is good enough to dislodge the crows or Bulldogs.
I kinda want geelong to drop right away because danger might not be as keen to join them

List Collingwood's three biggest scalps this year in current ladder order please

that doesn't prove they will fade away. their draw isn't that bad and I think they'll win enough games to make the 8.

How long you been following the RFC? ;D

If you had two dangling I would recommend crossing them with everything else you can cross!

it doesn't necessarily mean I think we're gonna win a flag in the coming years, but excluding the early season hiccups, I have always anticipated us making the finals.

I anticipate we will make finals as well.

But a lock...

Not till we win 13 games or until the end of the last round we have cemented a place in their. We have all witnessed some embarrassing finish's to miss out to often.



Hopefully this is the new Richmond.



With my best max smart impersonation...

"Hope I wasnt out of line about the ... ;D

I still think we have a lot of mental demons to overcome (Geelong, NM, etc), but I think we've overcome a few as well. Carlton is one (*touch wood*), but beating Sydney in round 23 to make finals last year was the biggest of them all. I was fully expecting to fall at the last hurdle like we have numerous times over the past 2 decades. the next step is winning a final of course... we're on track to be in position to win one, but... well I'll just leave it as "but."

So we have caught up and are now tracking along the 2013 form which I still can't quite yet believe is true - well done tigers.

Our form line over the blocks of 4 are

2:2
2:2 (which was where our recovery started)
3:1 (consolidated nicely and set our season up during June)
2:0 so far (during the big boys month of July - and hoping we turn this into 3:1 min)

equation looking better every week - now need 50% pass rate for the rest of the years 8 games to get our 4 wins and make it to the magical 13
