    Seriously though, Collingwood Football Club - has lost 25 Grand Finals in 110 years of AFL history, I'm not just doing this to wind up Matt, although that's the main reason itbt, but they're not called the Collywobbles without good reason.

    GFs lost:

    1901
    1905
    1911
    1915
    1918
    1920
    1922
    1925
    1926
    1937
    1938
    1939
    1952
    1955
    1956
    1960

    do one Salamuddin, we wouldn't have won the WC in 94, but we certainly should have qualified.

    And I'm going for the All-Blacks here because they've been so dominant between WCs but have failed when it's come to the crunch.

    If we're talking domestic chokes, the whites in 94-95 takes some beating. Went top with five games to go, needing 9pts to win the league and gain promotion. Our sequence of results went as follows:

    0-5
    1-5
    0-2
    1-1
    1-1

    Going into the last game, we actually needed a point to confirm our play-off spot. Dire.

    Parra still choked that year. Looked nearly unbeatable all year and got accounted for in the final.

    Here here! Old Bears fans unite!

    All of my memories of footy as a kid are sitting in the beautiful North Sydney Oval (best ground in Australia) watching Flo tear them up, JT slotting them from everywhere, and Matt Sears dropping the easiest of bombs!

    As sportspeople go, Matt Orford has to be included.
    Beware the lollipop of mediocrity. Lick once and you suck forever...
