A loss can be a win

According to RL's reasoning..I think this will be enough to totally confuse Collingwood who could think that if they win, they may lose?

Billy Sneddon claimed that he didn't lose the 1974 Federal election.

Totally confused Whitlam in 1975.

Why would any sane person post on another clubs website. Go away and show some common sense if possible. No one wants a pies supporter on this site just as you wouldnt want us on your stupid site.

Relax, Plugger.
I am very relaxed. I worry about your brain though by posting on another footy forum.

I know what you were trying to say there but that is truly shithouse sentence construction.

It sort of makes sense.

In 1990 most of the year everyone thought Essendon was going to win the Premiership. Essendon and Collingwood played a blockbuster late in the season, with the bombers getting up by a goal.

But.

Collingwood walked away from the game knowing they could take the game to them and beat them. It was a massive confidence boost for the club that eventually payed off in spades

While that is true, Collingwood and Essendon were top two for most of that season, and were the clear stand out teams for the year after Dunstall went down.
