Aren't the Eels like the Collingwood of NRL? That said, we have choked in the past, though we DID NOT choke against Brisbane in 2002 and 2003. They were simply a better side and will go down as one of the greatest sides. We were not expected to win, they were better than us, pure and simple. That is not choking.
If everything goes to plan, there will be nothing more current than 2010.
No StMerge have more members than any other club & have made 5 grand finals since 1979 & choked in every one of them. Not saying that Collingwood are exactly chokers but to get a nickname "Collywobbles" shows they have a tendancy to fail when it counts.
If they lose on Saturday then it will be a classic choke situation as the Pies have been the best team all year.

Collingwood supporters get a bad rap, but I am a very good one and they are not all like that. Come and support the black and white army. They are only hate because they are the bench mark club and everybody wishes that their club was an organisation like Collingwood.
Sorry the fact you have Eddie Maguire on deck makes that a no deal situation.

Not bad, but they were premiers in 2008, didn't make finals in 2009 and 2010 had another average season. They won in 2008 because they bent rules to their advantage, they haven't adjusted to new rules and have been no good, despite having so much promise. Go for anybody other than Carlton or Essendon.
I am still learning about the game but I am enjoying watching the finals. Essendon was the other team I was leaning towards because the colours are good & so is their name. The only thing that turns me off the Hawks is their colours.......
