1 draw.

what conclusions could you possibly want to base on this?

[Armoooo]

Lol, yea this isn't really anything exciting...

It privides information of how TEAM pull up the following week after playing St Kilda.

Gives an idea of how fresh or tired we make teams....based on how hard we make them work.

[JeffDunne]

TBH, I reckon it shows how soft our draw has been.

You're on the right page Spinner.........

Collingwood have notched up 4 wins this year against teams who played us the previous week.

not really

there is so much else going on to decide a game of footy

this can't possibly have a correlation above 0.05

[Brewer]

I think, if anything, it actually shows how weak most of our wins have been.

To narrowly beat a 'good' team that goes on to lose to an average side doesn't say much for their form.

There haven't been many wins this season that I've taken confidence in - our opponents have often shown themselves to be in a slump when we've beaten them, and I'm not sure you can say we caused the slump by beating them when it is just as likely that it was their slump that allowed us to win.
