Pies Supporters when drafted by Collingwood

🥰 Love BigFooty? Join now for free.

Just wondering how many have we drafted. I know of 3.



  • Brad Dick
  • Nathan Brown - On the day they said he barracks for Carlton but last season Footy Record he said he was a Pies Man
  • Ben Johnson
Does anyone know if I missed any?
 
Some will say JA (however some believe he went for NM) I am unsure however.

Also I would say Cloke went for us (or Richmond- because of his dad) not too sure of any others.

Outside of the pies- Crowley and Kruzer went for us
 
NJBrown was the only Blues supporter in a family of Pies (Mitch included), as far as I recall.

Jack deffs was a pies man and i posted a video in a similar thread last year where it had the collingwood draftees being interviewd and Jack was in it and admitted being a Pies man. Ryan Cook was deffs a pie fan as well

This is just a video of the 2005 draftees and it says Cook and Jack were Pie fans as kids
 
Heath Shaw and you've come up with pretty much everyone who did.

JA's step father was a Pies man and had his ashes spread there , but his dad was a Hawks man , and I believe JA was too , don't remember the North link.

A lot of our fans like to mythologise the amount of our players who barracked for Collingwood. Most have been claimed at some point.
 
Of other teams players, Jordan Gysberts, taken at pick 11 last year was also a mad Pies supporter.

He was actually conceived the night of the 1990 GF. Was reported during draft time. Hahahahahahahaaa. Classic. His parents are/were mad Pies fans. Checked his date of birth and seems pretty darn close. 11/6/91.

Well if we're going down the path of opposition players who supported the Pies:

Montagna
Crowley
Walker
Kreuzer
Steve Johnson
Goodes

are a few.
 
Brereton, Dipper, Archer, Mckernan, Koutafides all went for us.
Ang Christou once rocked up at Carlton U19 training with a Pies jumper on so I've heard.
Not positive so correct me if I'm wrong, but Nick Stevens, Leo Barry, Sam Fisher, Cam Mooney, Colin Sylvia, Jordan Lewis, Josh Kennedy and Paul Chapman all went for the Pies, I think.
 
Ben Johnson the feel-good story in this regard. Idolised rowdy and got to accept his number.

Let's just appreciate for a moment what he has been able to do. I'm sure we all fantasised at some point about taking over our idols number. Hell, I still picture myself in Daics's 35.

The stuff of dreams for us pies fans and good on him. :thumbsu:

I'm pretty sure NicNat went for Collingwood, not 100% sure though.
That is correct:

Which AFL team do you support?
I’m a Collingwood supporter, but I don’t really mind the Eagles and Fremantle either.

He even used to wear the black and white stripes in under-18's:
