Yeah, 22!Barry Rowlings-off the top of my head #22? Might be wrong.
Edit: Maybe that was at Richmond.

Can you imagine being in those horrible poo and wee colours? Yuk.My Dad was a Collingwood Supporter so I pretty much Followed Him.
Though my Late-GrandFather was a Hawks Supporter and he tried his Best to make me one
I originally chose to barrack for Hawthorn (aged 7??) - family had no background in footy until then. Kid over the road said he'd belt me up if I didn't barrack for Collingwood - I immediately swapped - cost me 10? flags
I do love them but they drive me freaking mad sometimes
PS kid over the road went on to become a lawyer..............
I repeat - cost me 10 flags - but their jumper is crapJust a bit of gentle persuasion... He did the right thing by you.

wise words but bu**er me we have missed some close ones we should have snagged - want to meet a Club that invents new ways to lose GFs? - let me introduce you to .................................................. THE ONE AND ONLY PIES ...Bunch of bandwagon supporters though, no real culture or history in that club. The elation of 1 Collingwood flag with your brethren is worth 10 celebrated with good times only supporters.

Question.Wog parents with no Collingwood bloodlines..........my older brother became a Pies supporter and the rest is history.
St Kilda just lose Grand Finals.wise words but bu**er me we have missed some close ones we should have snagged - want to meet a Club that invents new ways to lose GFs? - let me introduce you to .................................................. THE ONE AND ONLY PIES ...
Question.
I find many Greeks seem to follow Collingwood particularly.
Stands to reason great food, great football team.
Do you think this is correct?
I’ve wondered if this is particularly so of Greek people and why might that be.
So you and Gimpy re fell to the good side.Collingwood or Carlton Saintly.
Growing up in the Northern Suburbs closer to Collingwood sways more of them towards Collingwood...........plus the working class Club is something immigrants can understand.
Nothing funny about Melbourne winning flags!St Kilda just lose Grand Finals.
Funnily for many decades Melbourne won a very high proportion of their grand finals.
Welcome aboard.Was a Roos supporter before having the pleasure of playing in the under 19s at Collingwood, what a club!Just can’t go anywhere else after that..... unless you’re Sam Pang.

Terrible use of language by me.Nothing funny about Melbourne winning flags!
Terrible language? - well come on down to BF - pick a thread and post away - you'll feel right at homeTerrible use of language by me.
I deserve a thorough wigging.
This should be the game: https://afltables.com/afl/stats/games/1973/041619730407.htmlIt wasn't a conscious decision. My dad was a Collingwood supporter. He was born and raised in Collingwood and saw the 4 in a row.
He didn't force any of us to support Collingwood, we all just did naturally.
Footscray was the closest ground to us and he would have taken us there if we wanted to.
But there was never any question of who we would follow, and we all ended up passionate supporters, though I'm the only one who still goes.
My first game was early 72 or 73, can't remember which, but we pumped South Melbourne at Victoria Park and McKenna kicked about 8. That was it, I was hooked.
