Cheers. I Have the Comic of the TV Series as well sealed up somewhere in the garage. I really loved the Keith artwork in his comics and how they used them in the tv series. Painted him a few times as well and still have them on my wall. Anyway, go Pies!!

Hi all,
Q.1. My mother barracked for the pies, my father whom I didn't and still don't really like barracked for Richmond.
Q. 2. I can remember the 1977 Grand Finals, I was about 6.
Q.3 Growing up it was Daicos, now it's Pendles.
Q.4 I have 2 that really stand out. I was in hospital and watched the 1980 escort cup, but for the first time I watched VFL in colour TV, I was in awe. Although we lost, the greats on both of those sides is something I will never forget.
The second was the prelim 2010 against Geelong, I hate Geelong but being there watching Leigh Brown kick a mongrel 65 or 70 metre kick that somehow bounces through for a goal was amazing. Hearing the chant, just loved it. My wife who originally barracked for the Crows and now a pies supporter and member also says she hasn't experienced anything like that night at the footy.
I thought from that night we were going to win the big one. Going to the drawn grand final was very hollow. Thankfully they made up for it the following week although I didn't go.
Cheers.

1) How did you come to be a Pies fan?
It's a hazy memory I must admit, but I remember being young (5 or 6 at best) and it was the first time I'd watched an AFL game in full on TV. I can't remember much but it was Collingwood vs Richmond and the pies ended up winning. From that moment it's always been black & white for me.(Thank god Richmond didn't win!!!!!)
2) How old were you when you went to your first game?
I grew up in Tassie before moving to Melbourne for Uni. So despite being a die-hard pie from a young age it took until 2005, when i was 14, to see my first game. It was Round 9 of that season where we were 1-7, the eagles were 8-0 and the boys somehow won! Amazing memory and well worth the wait!!
3) Favourite Collingwood Player?
I honestly struggle to answer that, I'm a fan of too many - but Steele Sidebottom if I was forced to choose. What I can say is that nobody will ever come close to my love of Saverio Rocca as a youngster. I'll leave out the heartbreak of having to see him in a Roos Jumper though!!!
4) What is your favourite Collingwood moment?
Like any magpie tragic, how could you choose!! The previously mentioned win over the Eagles has to be right up there. But other moments (premiership aside) that come to mind include,
Round 8 2002, vs lions
Prelim Final 2002, vs Crows
Qualifying Final 2003 vs Lions, Didak's sealer from the first row
Semi Final 2007 vs Eagles in perth
And of course belting those Tigers in the Prelim last year!!
Anyway, not sure why it's taken so long to sign up, but I look forward to taking part in discussions of our shared passion! Go Pies!

1. I was born into it. Most of my whole family is Collingwood.
2. I was really young, I think I was 3 or 4.
3. My favourite Pies player of all time is Dane Swan. One of the best players I have seen play. I think currently though, it is Pendles or Grundy.
4.I won't just say the 2010 flag as it is kind of obvious. I think Swans performance on 2014 ANZAC day was really just sensational. Not his best one but he went forward and played very well.

Hi everyone!
Thought I should do this as I've neglected to.
1) How did you come to be a Pies fan?
Mal Michael. During one of his first years at the club he gave me $10 and let me talk to Bucks on the phone if I would commit to the pies and it was a done deal.
2) How old were you when you went to/watched your first game?
Went to my first game when I was about 5.
3) Who's your favourite Collingwood player?
Bruzzie Maynard, absolute junkyard dawg and a future 300 game pie and club captain.
4) What is your favourite Collingwood moment?
Knocking off the tigers in the PF last year is the best recent moment. My favourite 'moments' are seeing how much the team has evolved into the unit that is currently is, super supportive and fun club that even other supporters admire.

1 i think i became a Collingwood supporter in response to my family being Richmond supporters.
2 the earliest game i can remember is a Collingwood Richmond match at Victoria park from the early 70s. Was about 6 years old.
3 named my son after Peter Daicos, but current favourite player would be Darcy Moore.
4 favorite Collingwood moment was when Craig Starcevich slotted his match sealing goal against Carlton in 1988.

Been here for a few months now, but I’ll introduce myself, My name is Lachlan, but you’ll know me by my username.
1) I‘ve been a Pies supporter since I was born, most of my family goes for the Pies.
2) First game I watched on TV that I can remember was the Anzac Day thumping in 2010. I was 9, when I went to my first game which was Collingwood vs Western Bulldogs, NAB challenge 2015, and I’ve been to around 20 games since then.
3) All the players are my favourites, but a standout has to be Scott Pendlebury.
4) My favourite Collingwood moment was the 2010 Grand Final, which I can remember considering I was only 5 years old, one of the best days of my life. I have another standout moment, which was running through the banner with the boys in Round 10, 2017. We were pretty lucky to win that, even better it was free! Got to meet Pendles, Coxy, Steele and Billy.
Can’t wait for Season 2020 and I’m hoping there’s another Premiership cup in the cabinet!

Hi all, apologies if this isn't the right forum to be posting this question, but what video content would you love to see your club put out? More post-game interviews with players/coaches? More get to know the players type videos? More funny/joke stuff/light-hearted stuff with the players? Any other ideas about content from the club that you'd love to watch?
Or if there's a better place to pose this question, please point me in the right direction. Cheers.

Think it would be replays of VFL games for me.
