Q1 no idea how we ended up so high, but just happy to be going. First final for my 18 year old. Last final I attended was the Carlton Vs Richmond one which was on 8 September. Hoping thats an Omen haha
I just had a look on the main board and it's pretty obvious that death by firing squad would have been a more appropriate penalty by Big Footy logic!!!
I can't believe the shit I'm reading in this thread. A hanging or death by firing squad would of been a more appropriate punishment by Big Footy logic!!!
I think Vinnie came to my school back in 1979 ODN and the fact that we had a few good years after that certainly helped with my choice.
Lucky for me I also married a Carlton supporter and our daughter was a signed up member at 2 weeks old back in 2005. We'd just beaten the tigers (I remember...
My father was an umpire and I got dragged everywhere watching him with my Collingwood supporting mother. My dad barracked for the bulldogs and used to drag me to games and loose me all the time. Vinny Catoggio came to my school in Grade 3 and asked all the kids who barracked for Carlton to put...
I took my 7 year old daughter to the clinic this morning, and while disappointed that she didn't get on the ground, she still had a great time. We were lucky enough to have Frazer Dale sit with us and although I'm not sure she knew who he was, he was absolutely lovely and spent a good deal...
Am taking my daughter to the Captain Carlton Clinic tomorrow morning at Visy Park, so I doubt it's going to happen while they have all those kids there for the day!!
Love it, they too have given me so much joy over the last 40 years. Last year I was lucky enough to book an overseas holiday a couple of days after the GF, so didn't have to put up with their feral supporters. This year I will take so much joy in watching them fall apart!!!!
Couldn't agree more, last year after Juddy won they were all up in arms and saying that the Brownlow was a nothing award and no one cares about it and it has no credability, but all of a sudden one of their own wins and they do a complete 360 - typical.
Nothing against Swanny at all winning...
Don't tell me the Collingwood supporters care about the Brownlow now. I'm pretty sure that for the last 12 months all I've heard from them is how no one cares about the Brownlow and it was a nothing award - who would have thought!
By the way, congrats Swanny a very worthy winner.
Can't really remember, think he may have mentioned something about a pack mark, but he was too busy trying to justify the committee decision. Jon Ralph kept saying to him "please Kev tell me you didn't vote for Krakouer". There was no way he was going to reveal who he voted for, but I don't...
I loved the way they said for 3 qtrs that Swan, Pendles and Daisy had no influence on the game and then did a complete 360 in the final qtr. Just think we have to put up with these clowns for the next 5 years!!
Re: Hawthorn vs Collingwood + umpires
Maybe you need to go through and read all the posts, because there are supporters from every team - not just the Blues.
Enjoy the win Pies, because on this form, you just played your GF.
Re: Hawthorn vs Collingwood + umpires
Wonder if the Geish will come up with the same bullshit he did last week. Wasn't it something about palms facing backwards was ok. Can't remember, but do know that I was more confused after his stupid explanation, so I can only imagine what it will be...
Re: Hawthorn vs Collingwood + umpires
What a load of crap. 3 points the other way and there would have been 4 million posts from Collingwood supporters blaming the umpires.
That was the worst game I've ever seen Bateman play. Everything he touched turned to shit!!!
Just thinking though, has Collingwood every lost a game by contentious umpiring decisions - don't think so, everything usually always goes there way.
Yes that's true. Listening to KB trying to justify it yesterday on Hungry for Sport was pure Gold. Jon Ralph asked the question if the AA Committee was that much out of touch with public opinion. He tried to justify it by saying that if it was a public vote Krakouer would have still won...
This is what I don't get. Since Monday, every promotional ad I've seen as showcased Walkers mark. Someone at Head Office obviously didn't get the memo that he didn't win.
I think someone said earlier about rating the mark by the reaction you get when you see it live. My whole family is Collingwood and my sister saw the Krak mark and said it was good, but she didn't leap out of her chair. She said if she'd been listening to Bristler's commentary she may have...
I think the thing that annoys me the most is how the umpires could change so dramatically from one half to the other. Either pick everything up all game or don't pick anything up all game - you can't have it both ways. This is why people get so annoyed with umpires.
I personally am not...
