he ended up in the cell with me

that night Terry Daniher became my bitch...

Actual first Aussie rules experience.

Mine was sitting up at some un-godly hour in the morning watching in snowy black & white (as a kid in queensland) a replay of a grand final between Carlton & Collingwood. After getting used to the fact that they were allowed to knock-on & forward pass at 1/2 time I thought that this Collingwood (seemed a funny name to me at the time) were pretty good.

However at full time I was left wondering how a team could get beaten from such a position of strength. The only other positive was that for some unknown reason I took an instant dislike of the other mob.

With my grandparents both being North supporters, I would think that my first memories would be of the 1977 GF and more importantly the 1980 Night GF.
Gotta love those deaf umpires!!!!

It was umpire Bill Deller if i remember correctly. He was rewarded with the job as umpires director for his years of incompetent umpiring.

The 1970 Grand Final is still the worst moment in the history of the Collingwood football club.

40 points in front when McKenna and Tuddy collided.

ouch!
