I am pretty much on a role in the month of February on BigFooty, so I have taken the opportunity of starting something big on the Pies board. Not too big, but something that will bring back memories.
As the title says, lets go through the archives, not too far, but we will start back in 1995. Amazingly enough, 1995 was the year I first followed the Collingwood Football Club and became an avid AFL Fan, all thanks to the Select Football Sticker Book.

It was Collingwood's first win of the season, coming late at Round 7. It had one draw on the board however, coming against Essendon. Brad Rowe was the star, kicking 3 goals and having 21 disposals, but that performance not even handing him out a Brownlow vote.

Collingwood played Fremantle for the first time in AFL, and won comprehensively with outstanding performances from Nathan Buckley and Saverio Rocca. Aaron James also pulled off a great game at CHF. The Magpies had one two on the trot.
In all seriousness, how could you be ********ed putting up the results of 101 games?
And they both can't be round 7.

(To anticipate your next comment: VFL flags pre 1990 = AFL flags post 1989. Don't argue about it. The AFL even says so. End of discussion.)

Round 10
Collingwood vs Fitzroy
COLLINGWOOD 1.3 4.7 6.12 13.15 (93)
FITZROY 4.2 6.9 9.14 10.19 (79)
GOALS:
Collingwood: Williams 4, Russell 2, A James 2, Wright, Hassell, Patterson, Rocca, Monkhorst.
Fitzroy: Barker 2, Baldwin 2, Johnson 2, Atkins, Dent, Molloy, Boyd
DISPOSALS:
Collingwood: Crocisca 23, Russell 23, Wright 21, Buckley 20, Patterson 20
Fitzroy: Boyd 36, Atkins 22, Barker 20
Attendance: 22,856 at Victoria Park
Brownlow Medal: 3. Boyd (F) 2. Atkins (F) 1. Baldwin (F)
Fitzroy gave the Pies a big scare, on their own turf though, Collingwood scraped up 7 goals in the final quarter after being behind by 20 points at the last change. Williams lead the late onslaught by the pies, kicking 4, but Fitzroy's Brad Boyd was clearly best on ground with 36 disposals, getting him 3 Brownlow votes. Collingwood's 3 wins had come from games at Victoria Park, and were a total of 3 from 3.
