I'm sorry the quality is not great but I have a crappy mobile phone. I hope they give some idea of the warmth and love in the rooms post game.

I had the pleasure of gaining access to the rooms after today's game. Wow. The mantra about our club being all about love and connection is real and was on full display in the time my mate and I were in there. Jeff Browne walked about the room talking to supporters. He approached us with a warm...

In each loss so far we have been in danger of a blow out and a humiliating defeat and in each game we have finished stronger than the opposition and running hard at the finish. Did the opposition ease off? However you choose to look at it, physical fitness and attitude don't seem to be the...

I don't care how badly we are playing or how far behind we are- it's bloody pathetic to see Collingwood supporters streaming out of the ground five minutes into the last quarter. We won a flag two game ago and the army was all over the boys and lapping up the glory. Now, after a couple of bad...

Enjoy.

I found this footage mesmerising. Enjoy.

I have a Collingwood library. The framed season tickets are from 1897, 1898, 1899, 1900 and 1901. I have have paintings, part of a seat from the Sherrin Stand with the number on it and my walls are adorned with framed Collingwood images from the team of the century to Vic Park and more.

I uploaded some pics of past players but their names were attached! I tried to delete and start again but the delete option won't appear! I was trying to find another way to pass the time until Thurday.:rolleyes: Apologies.

It may seem a rather silly thread title but I was struggling to express the feeling that came over me this evening when I was watching ( for the tenth time) our final quarter against the Blues in round 23. We are in another final series and we are not making up the numbers. We finished the year...

I just loved that fist pump and the clenched teeth when Adams was gifted that goal in the second term. It just showed the hard, competitive edge we rarely see on display from Craig. He has the reputation of being a warm, gentle, caring bloke (and he is) but at heart he is a winner and wants...

Is King trying the triple jinx. He is saying the race is over and nobody will come close to us come the finals. It makes me so bloody nervous when media pundits jump on board with such certainty...

It's not an earth-shattering observation, but the change in interpretation of what constitutes a push in the back during the past two weeks has been truly astonishing. For months players have been allowed to push their opponents under the ball with both hands in the small of their opponent's...

I have just got home from a special morning gathering. My extended family met at Victoria Park at 7:00 am this morning to spread the ashes of my younger brother on the sacred turf and speak some words about him and what Collingwood means to our family. We recalled so many stories about Victoria...

Just pondering the champion/big name players who have came to Collingwood late in their careers and had very little impact. Sam Kekovich Dermott Brereton Brad Hardie Graeme Teasedale Ronnie Andrews John Williams Peter Bradbury (not a champion but a premiership player) Georgie Bisset Can anyone...

While I'm reminiscing about Collingwood "moments" in my life, I may be the only supporter who has ever received a handwritten letter from a Collingwood player who challenged me to say what I said in my letter to his face (it wasn't remotely bad) and a promise that he would soon sort me out if I...

I was seriously crook back in 1992 and Tony Shaw heard about it via one of my best mates, another Pie player, Leigh Carlson. Tony rang me and invited me and my son to meet him outside the gates of Vic Park next to the caretaker's home and watch our clash with the Crows. I was very excited and...

I watched my first live game in 1966. This is maddeningly tough but a good way to pass some time as we look toward Friday night and another season filled with hope and excitement. I'm sure I've left out a few legends as I simply did this in ten minutes off the top of my head. Scott Burns...

I was watching the scrappy last quarter of the Gold Coast vs Essendon game and the ump called a blocking free against a GC defender. I watched the replay and gnashed my teeth. The ump said the infringer took his eyes off the ball when he momentarily checked a bomber forward. I have seen this...

This is not too bad. It misses a few golden moments and finishes with the Cats final but there are some great memories to enjoy. The opening with young Nick is wonderful.

I don't think I have quite got my head around the fact that we are in the fight for the 2022 premiership. It is a phenomenal effort. I remember the excitement on this forum which was rightly called premature when we showed some exciting signs in that pre-season game against the Hawks. We moved...

There has been an ever increasing amount of patronizing commentary surrounding our form and future prospects this year So many have the tone,"Oh, aren't the Pies so cute the way they keep getting over the line! Good for them! Now let's move on to the true contenders. Others like Cane Cornes...

I recently watched the 1990 qualifying final replay. I pondered the dream scenario of being able to select three players from that side to help get us over the line at the big dance. I finally bit the bullet and chose Michael Christian, Peter Daicos and Darren Millane. Have I missed obvious...

I was at Montsalvat with my daughter tonight. A documentary about a family friend was being screened. Five minutes before it began a hand grabbed my shoulder. When I turned, a man who looked familiar was beaming down at me. He shook my hand and said " how do you think we'll go on Sunday?" I was...

If ever you wanted to see an example of why players are willing to play attacking, risk taking footy and have the confidence to make mistakes it was on Monday when McCrae talked so calmly to the players on the interchange bench and his body language was so relaxed during a very tight, tense...

Fly has already won my heart. I know the real test comes when we are riddled with injuries (when aren't we?) and have lost a few but his attitude and demeamour is so bloody inspiring. Even the journos love him. When a man at the helm at my beloved Collingwood keeps telling everyone how honoured...

I don't know what compelled me to watch it again today but it popped up on you tube in glorious HD and it was there so I sat down and went through the highs and lows of the game. I often get hammered for regurgitating the past and will no doubt be hammered again but I have a few observations...

If you were making a list of unsung players at Collingwood surely Robbie Dean has to be right up near the top. He was a magnificent overhead mark, could run all day and had enormous physical courage. He made up for his lack of foot speed with his sure ball handling and ability to read the play...

Perhaps a strange thread hours before the prelim but I have wondered about this for years. Why is Hardeman 's name never mentioned in discussions about past champions? He seems to be the invisible man even though he went close to being a brownlow medalist and played for Victoria on a number...

I was watching an Open Mike episode which featured Kevin Bartlett. He spoke about his desire to leave Richmond and play with Collingwood under Tommy Hafey. He explained that he was very keen to join Collingwood and Ronnie Richards was very enthusiastic and the only reason it didn't happen was...
