After another loss, this time on the big stage to Essendon on Anzac Day, the 1-4 Magpies are under even more pressure.
And at The Age Real Footy Podcast, we've got two words for you: Nathan Buckley.
This week on the pod, Caroline Wilson, Greg Baum and Michael Gleeson put Collingwood - and Buckley - under the microscope.
"This is not about the team anymore, it's about the coach."
Could some big name coaches take Buckley's place at season's end? How far back has their off-season recruiting set the Pies?
All this and more is answered in the latest episode, which also includes a look at Alastair Clarkson and the Hawks and the big Adelaide v Richmond clash next Sunday (our experts are "not entirely sold on Richmond yet").
