I heard a story at the pub...

Havent heard it, but the bookie better be laying off elsewhere. Hope its waterhouse's hubby, hes the sort of dickhead who'd take that bet

Wouldn't the bookie need to find 225 million?

However much he needs to find, I hope the fool is bankrolled by Mr Ed and that we do take out that 4 in a row flag! Poetic justice I say!

FFS Lucy. I think you have some sort of paranoia about Eddie. Maybe its love?

Or maybe just a touch too much qld sun has got to you. Its got to everyone else up there...

No Benno maybe it's just I'm sick to death of hearing some pouncy toad telling us we've got no talent and the only reason we've won any premierships is because of a salary cap concession. Given all the money Collingwood supposedly having - thanks to Eddie's wonderful presidency (and I agree he has done a great job for Collingwood) how come they are not a successful on the field.

I think Collingwood has been very succesful considering the lack of talent they have. There are better teams around than the Pies that have failed to finish above them in the last two seasons.

While Lion haters might carp on about the extra salary cap, Pie haters can quite rightly point out that Collingwood's draw is a significant factor (not to mention Port's baffling repeated September fade outs) as to why this group has over achieved.

Collingwood will not make the top four this year though because that other positive factor, the coaching of Mick Malthouse is rapidly diminishing as a source of inspiration to this young list. They've still got the dream draw, but the coach playing the blame game and taking his eye off the ball will hurt the Pies this season.
