You know, this Collingwood choking in recent finals thing is a bit of a myth! Sure, we've lost our share of finals, but no more than others! Choking implies you were favourite and lost, and I can only think of 1 final (2003 GF) in the last 10 years where that was the case!

Still want that premiership :(

And Malthouse has 2011 also.

If Collingwood beat Carlton and Geelong in the next two weeks, you very well maybe correct

Which is highly unlikely...

I wouldn't quite call that highly unlikely...


Plus.. Collingwood have had a history of choking during finals.  With that history and it being Mick Malthouse's last year as head coach, I think they will play through to the finals to carry momentum.  There have been teams in all strains of sport that have rested prior to finals matches only to get caught on the back foot.  Eg. Orlando Magic in the last two NBA season playoffs.

pretty sure Mick still has another year to go yet

silly mistake.  still, the point remains valid.  A closing coaching career=a closing window to win a premiership.  Id imagine he'd do all he can to raise another cup.

dont ya get a cup for comin 2nd :P
