As a Collingwood fan who is super nervous about how they have mortgaged the future - I would actually say that only a flag makes this worth it. A collapse is coming no matter what due to the list's age, but a flag is absolutely makes that price worth paying 1000 times out of 10.

I agree with Kane that 8 wins should be the minimum pass mark for North. We have been cellar dwellers for so long that we're long overdue to make a decent jump in the win column. 8 wins still won't get us out of the bottom four, but it would be a start.

[@grantking4681]

Think Sydney are now the AFL's official chokers, in fact we saw the footy's going down the throats of the Swans players sideways as early as the second quarter. Two Grand Finals in three years, lose to Geelong by 81 points and Brisbane by 10 goals. Forget the Colliwobbles, if you're in a GF and Sydney's the opponent start the celebrations early!

What if Collingwood plays Sydney? Probably perpetual extra time?

[@grantsmith505]

Choke is an over used word in AFL Sydney have an incredible advantage in playing a home ground that a centre clearance can deliver the ball deep into the fwd line with a single kick... So their game style that gets them perennially into the finals simply doesn't stand up in the last game of the year...

On the Joel Smith 4 year drug ban. This is what Andrew Dillion said. AFL CEO Andrew Dillon welcomed the ban handed to Smith. "The outcome in this matter, in which Joel Smith has been suspended for more than four years, reflects the seriousness with which the AFL treats breaches of the Australian Football Anti-Doping Code and is a salutary lesson for any player using illicit substances that are prohibited under the WADA Code," Mr Dillon said. So what about the BLOODY CLANDESTINE drug cover ups that the AFL got caught for and was forced to officially sanction???? What about THAT? Oh that's right, it is for players health. Spare me. Multiple superstars got caught doing meth so the AFL swept everything under the carpet. Joel Smith's crime was that he wasn't a star of the game. I am loathing the hypocrisy of the AFL more and more. I want to puke when ever I hear them talk about the "community game".

When Pearce broke his arm the second time, in the starlight match, I knew the season was over At that point I realised we would slide down, and even if we made the finals, we would be entering from the bottom half of the 8, instead of the top 4 Last games without Treacy we were still competitive right up to the end of 2 of those 3 matches against top ranked teams You have to look at the season in context

[@grantsmith505]

A lot of the games in the middle of the season, oppo teams couldn't even get the ball out of their defensive half The ball would come out and bounce straight back into our attacking 50 Our winning margin was 37 points per game on average at that time That is ruthless football... With Pearce out, teams started to deliver into our defensive half repeatedly.. That was not a feature of our game mid year There is a lot to be confident about from what the team displayed in season 2024 Another preseason, and a year's growth for a young list will only benefit us going into 2025 Everything needs to go right to win a premiership, and losing the competition's best key defender, our most important big forward and our #1 ruckman for the last month was too much of a hurdle to overcome... I saw enough stuff what went right season 2024 to be happy. We certainly showed we had the talent and capability to step up again next year

[@wolftone57]

I agree. If Collingwood & Carlton don't do it now, they will have missed the boat. Their top players are ageing at both clubs. Carlton have maxed out their Salary Cap & if they falter again they will be looking at the abyss. Collingwood has so many potential retirees Zimmer-frames & Incontinence Pads are part of the medical equipment. If the Swans don't win the Premiership, then Longmire's tenure should be finished. Under Horse, the Swans have lost 3 GFs by huge margins & are being called the Perennial Bridesmaids. The underwhelming GF performances are just one issue. The game plan is the main problem. If the run doesn't come off, the Swans are opened up like a tin of Baked Beans. The so called experts are blaming the backs, they are uncoordinated & don't work together well enough but that is because there are too many mids in the backs. But the main problem is the mids & forwards who cough the ball up far too easily through lazy or Hollywood handball & kicks. Longmire's team has under-performed & is wasting the huge talent at the coach's disposal. Dogs, have to win it or Beverage will be looking for another job. He has the list & has improved the list even more, even by losing several players. But I think there is still dissent there. I don't think he would be an easy coach to play under. Port. Last Chance Hinkley. Don't win it this year & Kenny is out the door. But it is not going to be easy & I think he has Buckley's & none. His list is ordinary. Who will be his Key Forwards? Lord & co, the young ones, don't work hard enough. The old ones are only just good. Marshall & Georgiades don't work hard enough for long enough. Houston is gone. He will be sorely missed. I think Ken does not rate Finlayson at all. I think he is the third tall they have needed but Ken insists on making him into something he is not, a Ruck. Leave him in the FP & let him get ball & he will hurt the opposition. Make him do extra goal kicking at training. Saints; They don't have much of a list & nobody wants to go there. Battle is a huge loss. Demons; I think the cultural problems go to the top. More players will leave in 2025. Oliver isn't the main problem. If you look at Smith you can see they have been battling a major problem & covering up for years. There was a bloke with a huge career ahead of him that wrecked it by taking drugs. There is discord in the playing group & unhappiness with the management, up to and including the board. The fact players avoided Melbourne during the Trade Period is a good indication of the ills there

[@travelwithroland2]

All I can say is… there are going to be a lot of teams that did not pass! lol. There are only 4 teams who get to Prelim. That means 14 teams don’t. Carlton won’t make the GF. Collingwood may, but unlikely. Port probably won’t.

[@mrmarketpartner]

When you are creating this this you are not making it so that everyone gets a pass. It is what they need to achieve to get a pass. There will be teams that will not achieve a pass in 2025. I agree that 6-7 teams pass should be prelim final+ Swans, Lions, Blues, Cats, Port, Pies, Bulldogs. Finals add in Saints, Crows, Freo, Suns, Dees. GWS’s turnover of list I don’t think will see them in finals but you could still say a pass mark is finals. A pass mark will not be achieved by all clubs but they should be achieving that and if not it is a down season.
