Round 1 Memories

[MooreTreloar]

Got this idea from the main board and thought it’d be good to do a Collingwood version here. I aim to do one for every round just as a bit of fun.

What are your favourite Round 1 memories involving Collingwood?

For me I’d have to go with, in no particular order:

1997 – Playing Port Adelaide in their first AFL game.

2000 – Playing Hawthorn, Mick’s first game in charge wooden spooners in 1999 we came out and won pretty convincingly.

2007 – Playing North Melbourne, that comeback was good.

2011 – Playing Port Adelaide, Taz’s first game as a pie since 2006, Krak’s return to the AFL, smashing Port. As a great afternoon.

So what about you?

The first 3 quarters were great. I won't mention the last, but the damage was done. My main memories of that night were it was stinking hot. 80% humidity. And my Brisbane Lions supporting friends were losing their shit. It was a great night. I went to every Pies game at the Gabba in the 10 years I was in Brisbane, and I had some awful nights, not last year though.

Other than that, Rd 1 v Freo in 2008 was a pretty handy win, & as already mentioned, smacking Port in 2011 as our first game after winning the flag, tat was pretty sweet.

By Sunday we'll be saying our win at the SCG was a good one, add it to the list.

Round 1 1983

10 point come from behind win over Melbourne who had Peter Moore and Kelvin Templeton playing their first games.

Pies debutant David Cloke kicked 3, Mark Weideman booted 5 and another debutant Mike Richardson kicked a brilliant left foot snap to put us in front in the dying minutes.

A game that had everything as the "new magpies" sent the fans home deliriously happy.

That was a good win as I thought we would lose that game. That set up the Season
