Not sure which of the 100 odd threads ridiculing David King to put this in. Just now during the Adelaide GWS match he was full of praise for an Adelaide player who ducked into a tackle to draw a free kick. Yes, the guy who has spent years campaigning for an end to head contact to prevent...

Article on news.com website today says our game in Tassie will be the 31st ground Collingwood have played at, but doesn't name them. Like to see if we can name them and anyone been to any of the stranger ones. Ones I've seen the pies at: 1 Victoria park 2 MCG 3 Etihad 4 Kardinia park 5 VFL park...

Well I've been to hundreds of football matches over the last 50 years, but never one like Collingwood Sydney the other night. It might be partly due to some personal tragedies this year, but there was a very strange feeling at the ground, a very eerie vibe, totally different to any other time...

*couldn't find old threads, please merge if you want* Found my old videotape of the 2002 QF and watched it for the first time since that night. No idea where i was that night or why i recorded it on ch 10 gold coast complete with funny local ads. Was anyone at the game, or watched it somewhere...

The Mike Williamson thread on the main board has YouTube of Collingwood playing Carlton on a Thursday night in 1992 with Mike Lou and Ted Whitten commentating. I have no recollection of this game at all as i was in Queensland and probably drunk at the time. Was it for Collingwoods 100th...

Honestly, the man is a total buffoon. Spent two days mocking reporters and saying there was nothing wrong with Dustin Martin, only for the coach to admit he is suffering from a badly corked thigh. Yet today i see no mention of Balmes lies. After his career as a thug player, failed coach and now...

Standing behind the goals at Metricon tonight, i glanced at the old bloke standing next to me, and noticed his members scarf said he'd been a member of the pies for 50 years. Not sure how common that is, but the more i thought about it on the way home, the more it blew my mind. When he bought...

As there was no footy on this weekend I watched a dvd of the Collingwood Brisbane match from 2002 that has taken on almost mythical proportions over the years. I watched the game on channel 10 in queensland with the ex-wife sitting next to me and hadn't seen it since. The match - was played at...

I know its only a Herald Sun article, but Micky has not included Gary Ablett Snr in the best 25 players of the last 50 years. He has included reliable half back flanker Guy McKenna however. Ablett is considered by many, including myself, as the best player of all time. I don't understand why...

I am amazed at the way Ports crowds and membership have risen so quickly under Kochies reign. We were led to believe that non Port supporters in SA all hated Port Adelaide so where have all these people come from? Is it a new generation of supporters who just choose either of the SA afl teams...

Wondering if anybody listened to Pants brother on Sen on Wednesday or Thursday night? I was spewing I forgot to take my headphones to work and couldn't listen to it as I heard them previewing it the night before.

Apologies if this has been explained elsewhere but I can't find it. I read a lot of people complaining about our defensive "zone". The 2 matches I've been to this year I've sat at ground level and haven't had an overview of thr field to see what they actually do. I hope it's not the rubbish I...

While looking at the net just now i read a pretty disgraceful article from the Collingwood website on this infamous match which McFarlaine penned a couple of years ago. These are my memories of the day. I arrived at Vic Park about 1:45 and went into the social club standing area. The swanettes...

Does anyone know what the smallest crowd for an AFL match at etihad is? I would think this weeks melbourne-gws match up would have to be a contender with maybe 5000 to 6000 attending.

I just read a comment on joffas facebook page but couldn't respond due to his settings and wondered if anyone here knows the answer. Joffa was talking about Melbourne getting the gate from queens birthday every year, and somebody said that Eddie told a legends meeting that we somehow benefit...

Anyone thinking of going to metricon for the pies, I can tell you we aren't being ripped off like usual. For some reason there are heaps of tickets for $25 available unlike previous years where I've paid triple that and been told theres nothing else for sale. Maybe I bought tickets too early...

Hi everyone. travelling from qld for the pies v wc, and was just wondering what areas general admission has been getting us into this year under the crazy new pricing system? Are any ground level seats available? Also, if we go into the ponsford and can't get a decent spot, can you easily walk...

I am looking at buying an interstate membership for the first time ( currently stuck in qld most of the time ), so i dont contribute to the equalisation fund. I've heard several horror stories though, with people never getting their seat to the interstate game or being given one for the wrong...

Howdy :) My first post here, i dont know how busy this joint gets, or if you have done this before, but anyhoo, here goes. What is your first memory of watching Collingwood? Mine is from a Collingwood-Richmond game at Victoria Park around 1975. Rene Kink took a huge mark in front of me at...
