Agree, an excellent article.

But by an ‘ex Collingwood supporter’? You might be wrong there. I saw Gorr outside the MCG after the game on Friday night, and she looked as jubilant as the rest of us.

When she moved to Sydney, as the McFeast character, she became a Swans supporter.
Very vocal about it to at the time.
She may have returned to the fold having relocated back to Melbourne.
But she was a Swannie, and had some terrible things to say about the Pies.
I don’t forget.

Fair enough. Not easily forgiven. I don’t understand how an adult can change teams, but it happens.

Was more a professional move. She was a Melbourne girl trying to culture a Sydney audience.
If she’s back in the fold, all good.

It was only Libby's TV character at the time, Elle McFeast, that was a "Swans supporter". In real life, Libbi Gorr remained a true Collingwood supporter

I’ll dispute that having heard her speak on radio as “Libbi
Gorr” plenty of times.

Not unusual for passionate Collingwood supporters to say terrible things about the Pies.
