Such an emotional weekend. My first child arrived yesterday, I cried because I've never felt so much love for anything in my life. Anyone that walked passed our room today would have been forgiven for thinking it was a psych ward such was my pacing back and forth. Cried today when the siren sounded, immediately swaddled my daughter with my Collingwood guernsey and proceeded to send photos to absolutely everyone. Was asked if she knows she's a Collingwood supporter, she will have the freedom of choice and my support to do whatever she chooses in life, except who she supports.

Go pies!!
I thought this was going to end with ".....and i named her Daicos".
 
I’m trying to decide what’s best from this season:

1) we win premiership
2) Carlton finish with nothing

It’s a tough one.

Congratulations!
You can order a Collingwood themed birth certificate (a decorative one on top.of the official one). I did for my boy a couple of years ago. Can't remember how much it was but it wasn't too much if I remember correctly.
Something for their bedroom wall!
 
Incredibly difficult post to make while it's still raw but congratulations to all of you and your club on a fantastic season and Grand Final. The best team all year for mine and I take solace in knowing we weren't too far off.

It was a cracking game and while it'll be difficult to re-watch it for me, you guys will have the pleasure of savouring it for years to come, so enjoy it. You have an amazing coach, a captain who speaks very eloquently (and seems like a great man) and a team that has an amazing culture.

Losing sucks, losing a close game sucks even more but truthfully when the opposition is as good as you guys were, it's hard to not just tip your hat in admiration. Bobby Hill was electric and a worthy Norm Smith winner, congrats to him.

Lastly, every single close GF is going to have controversy. 2002 had plenty that went the Lions way (Rocca's goal, missed hold on Tarrant then hold on Lynch). The advantage call is irrelevant to the final result for me, I felt we had our fair share of calls on the day but could never get control of the game outside of a patch in the 2nd quarter.

Deserved Premiers, congratulations and while history says rematch GF's are rare, I do hope one is on the cards for 2024. Enjoy.

Seriously, that felt like a game that deserved a shared victory, I felt bad for y'all you played your hearts out.
 
The poignancy of the win took a long time to sink in because these close finishes leave me wondering if we actually won or not. I tended to concentrate on the guys I thought were holding us back today, but over the 4 quarters, the efforts of Crisp, Cox, Pendlebury, Quaynor, Markov, Hill, Cameron, Mitchell and others became too obvious to ignore. Love the way we bounced back when Brisbane jumped ahead in the final quarter. Really proud of the boys!
