Nitpicking Collingwood - Neds Blog I wrote this column about Sydney in Round 16 last year, when they were 13-2. The fault I identified for Sydney was…

After demolishing Hawthorn, Collingwood is by far and away the AFL's bench mark so far for 2025.

But no team is perfect.

Let's nitpick the Pies.

🎶 GOOD OLD COLLINGWOOD FOREVER🎵

F**H YEAH. 51 point win. The annihilation the hawks deserve. Now give the medal back Ginni!! 😉

We have destroyed the two teams I dislike the most, Port and Hawks

Jamie kicking 4 goals. LEGEND! He ain't leaving to go to the filthy Lions.

Jamie Elliott the first AFL player with four five goal hauls in a six week span since Josh Kennedy in 2017

The moment of that quarter for me was Steele casually running ahead of Ginni who was chasing hard 😀
#AFLPiesHawks #GoPies

Gunston retired to his vineyard early - released a nice claret.
#aflpieshawks

So it looks like Collingwood are really good and Hawthorn aren’t as good as what some people may have thought. That’s my take. #AFLPiesHawks #AFL

The white-hot hatred these people have for Nick Watson is somewhat disconcerting

A few of these Hawks could do with a spell in the twos #aflpieshawks
