 Is it possible that the grapes in the numerous glasses of wine you've
obviously consumed were sour? I'd say it's a certainty.

NEWS FLASH: BRISBANE IS BETTER THAN COLLINGWOOD.

Collingwood didn't lose because their team is less talented (though they
are), they didn't lose because Anthony Rocca got rubbed out (sure, it didn't
help...a forward line with Kinnear and Walker as targets is not very
imposing, but after all he deserved the suspension)...

Collingwood lost because they did not attack the ball (or the man), they
stood around, hesitated, fumbled, short-chipped and worried while Brisbane
went in hard and got the ball and then went direct to the forward line. They
showed more hunger and commitment to winning the premiership even after
winning the previous two than a team that got within two goals of a flag the
previous year, but lost. That is an indictment on Collingwood. They were
S...O...F...T...SOFT!

As for your crack about steroids...Brisbane used painkillers, not
steroids...I'm sure a few Collingwood players probably had painkilling
injections before the match as well. Sure, not as many as Brisbane, but this
just goes to show that you couldn't beat them even when half their team was
far from 100% fit. Again, an indictment on Collingwood, not Brisbane.

Face the facts: you had one player who played as if he was desperate to win
a premiership - Scott Burns...The rest of them can hang their heads in
shame.

Oh, and Larry...I would tell you to get over it, but after all you are a
Collingwood supporter, so there's a fat chance of that happening...

Anyway, here are two words which should leave you sobbing uncontrollably:
WAYNE HARMES!
