I'm thinking about going with the cats for the minor premiership/ premiership double if that is available, should get decent odds for that and I believe it is almost a certainty...

I too cannot understand why Collingwood are rated so highly, they are an ordinary team who will get to the finals courtesy of their cushy draw.
But once there, they will be beaten badly by the clearly superior teams.
Mind you, I hope they flop and end up near the bottom, Eddie will complain that they had too many interstate teams and Mick will blame the overkill of blockbuster games they play.

You've answered your own question.3rd generation saint wrote:I too cannot understand why Collingwood are rated so highly, they are an ordinary team who will get to the finals courtesy of their cushy draw.
They are a top eight side, but with their draw each year, their price in the market shortens IMO
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!

Perhaps this is what is holding them back?
Maybe they need to bottom out to bring in some real talent into the team but their easy draw prevents that...

IMO Collingwood's easy draw never winds up favouring them in the end. For whatever reason, each year they end up dropping games against supposed easy beats. All their blockbuster games means teams wind up gunning for them. They're not a great team to start with, but all factors combine to keep them somewhere around the middle.St Fidelius wrote:[Collingwood] are a top eight side, but with their draw each year, their price in the market shortens IMO
That said, one day their draw might end up giving them more than just money and exposure. Some day they may actually beat teams they're suposed to.
Yeah nah pleasing positive

Freo for the spoon IMO...
They have 1 great player, 3 or 4 good payers, 3 or 4 future good players and then a whole lot of nothing...

Betting odds are about math, not about accurately forecasting the year ahead.fingers wrote:I will never understand the fascination with Collingwood.
With the weight of money Collingwood will attract regardless, there are only so long bookmakers are going to lengthen their odds before they're simply gambling themselves.
