So I've had a wedding sprung on me that's happening in less than a month, and I'm the best man (one of 2, anyway). So far I've managed to organise a date for the bachelor party (the 11th of April) but that is pretty much where the planning ends. I know he has wanted to play golf for ages so...

Can someone please explain how this rubbish new system works (apart from making a bunch of Collingwood games more expensive, making it even harder to convince my neutral friends to attend a game). I'm assuming all Cat A games are reserved seating so I can't just rock up on the day and scan my...

Hi all, With the recent kindness shown to me by this board, I want to give something back. Thanks to Collingwood FC sending me a new signed jumper, I find myself in the position of having three guernseys. My oldest is about 6-7 years old (not sure exactly, someone should be able to tell...

I don't feel like making a whole new thread for this, as I certainly don't have the presence here that Didaka obviously did, but never-the-less I have spoken (or at least PM'd etc) several people in regards to the cancer I had 5 years ago, so I figure they deserve an update. Today I was told...

No, really. I am. They made an ad about me and everything. I'm a bit easier to make out in the actual finals ad rather than this blurry pic - but here's my 1 second of fame, representing the mighty Pies. So next time you see the ad, keep an eye on the right of the screen and you'll...

Well played, Carlton...

Just doing the www.sportsbet.com.au 'Punter's Choice Awards' and came across this: Now I'm not just saying to vote for Mattys123 because he's one of us (which I would do anyway, let's be honest - side by side and all that) but as I've already stated on this board, I follow him on twitter...

Hi all, I figure this would be the best place to ask this. Sorry if there's somewhere more appropriate. I'm hoping to wear both a Port scarf and a Collingwood scarf to the game this weekend, for obvious reasons. However a quick check of my local Rebel Sport showed no Port merchandise...

Hi guys/girls, Now that another year of footy is over, and the time for membership renewal is almost upon us (even though I'll likely not do it until next year), it's time to consider which membership offers more value. For the last 4 years I've been a season ticket holder, but after not...

Here's a fun idea for a thread! Choose a random Collingwood player at will - one who you think will generate the most discussion or simply one you think will get the ire of the most Collingwood supporters. Enter that name into the appropriate sections below! --- [Player] is surely one of the...

Hi guys, Given that there isn't even an opportunity to enter into the ballot this year for the GF for season ticket holders, I suppose time has come for me to upgrade to another membership. However I do have some concerns/queries. With a Legends membership (I know I can't just get a...

I didn't enter the ballot last year - and I thought this was just because I had somehow foolishly missed the deadline. I'm guessing now that I might not have even been eligible. I just saw this on the Collingwood website, when searching for the ballot dates to make sure I didn't miss it...

... I just wanted to give you guys permission to complain about the umpires. I know you should be ashamed of losing to Gold Coast anyway, because no team should let that team anywhere near them, but in all honesty, that was the worst and most one-sided umpiring I have EVER seen. Truly shocking...

Hi guys, I'm on a holiday in Sydney for the weekend, and just want to know the best place to watch the game. Any of you guys going to be out and about at a pub etc? Or are there any known Collingwood hangouts around here? I haven't even checked if the match is live here. It bloody better be...

... what an amazing Grand Final. I see a lot of supporters talking about how down a lot of our players were yesterday, and without going through your forums I'm sure there'll be a lot of the same from your mob about your own players, but the way I see it, it was just an amazing game of...

This is a fairly silly thread, but I thought I'd post it anyway. On the way home from the Geelong match last Friday, I turned my mp3 player on and the first song that came on was Green Day's 'Wake me up when september ends'. I thought it was a somewhat amusing coincidence. When I listened...

Dear Collingwood Football Club, I have a humble request for you and your players. Obviously I want you to beat Geelong on Friday night. That's a given. But more specifically, I request that you do so in a manner that is not entertaining to watch. This could mean getting 40 points up and then...

Hi all, With limited time to get to the Collingwood Shop before Xmas and having no luck finding the trading hours on the net, I thought I'd take a punt and ask here. So does anyone know what hours the place is open in the days leading up until Xmas? Cheers.

Now let me just say that I'm not for one second suggesting the umpiring cost us the match. We were never going to win last night. You're just unstoppable around the clearances, and nothing was going to change that. But that aside, just wanted to hear your take on the umpiring standard. I...

As of 50 minutes ago. Don't forget! If we beat the pussies you'll regret it dearly! Good luck :)

How many better players can you name at pick 73+? Yes, I know he's not a superstar, but he's played... what, 22 games including 2 finals I think, at pick 73. You can't say he's cost us any games, although he has had several poor ones, and only 2-3 good ones... but tonight that goal of his...

... on life! **** that was good! And the curse is broken! That's the first final I've been to where we've actually won! lol, I've only been to 3, shamefully. Anyway, point to this thread... did anyone else go wandering through the city streets after the game? It was God damn electric! I must...

After the Richmond win I saw Leigh Brown on a TV getting interviewed but there was no sound. I assumed someone would have uploaded it to YouTube but I can't see it anywhere. Anyone have it by chance?

:D Gives us a chance to finish 3rd! Was barracking for you the whole game and was great. Umpiring got kinda crappy in the last so you'd have been pissed if you lost. Thanks for the win and giving me a good game to watch, after I went to the Carltank vs Geelol game last night :o edit: Now...

Didn't actually want you to win, because I'd prefer Bombers to make the finals over Hawks and Carlton... but well done all the same. At least I have plenty of Essendon supporting friends who I can now give it to! Richmond is my second favourite team, btw <3

I post this as a Collingwood member who can proudly claim to have not missed a single game in Melbourne so far this year (making up for barely being able to go last year, due to reasons some of you know about but aren't relevant here). I am sick and tired of going to the footy and being...

Seriously, that was a game that had it all. First 3 quarters were class football full of Collingwood highlights (with at least one of our best team goals of the year - straight through the middle) and the last quarter ended up being a lot less fun to watch but it made the siren that much greater...

No doubt several people will see this title and be horribly confused if they're completely different types of players or whatever, but the question is about SuperCoach. At the start of this year, putting no effort into my SuperCoach bench (I was more focused on DreamTeam... which is visible by...

Do we know when we're getting the list of special offers yet? I'm talking about the list of like 'free Sundae at Maccas' etc etc. The list came with my membership last year, which I'm certain I got before the first game, so is it running late or have other people received it? I didn't use the...

My membership pack came today, and it's not bad... except for the fact that you have to go to the Lexus Centre to pick up your hat. I know someone already complained about that on these boards, but my complaint isn't so much that as it is the fact that I was there a week ago... I purchased my...
