Good to see some, erm, blokes given an opportunity after being, ahem, excluded for so long? What!?

Allan McAlister, freedom fighter.

Would it be too soon for Bucks to unfurl the flag? I'd also be happy with Maxy.

Yes ...but with Peter McKenna.

Heard Craig Kelly interviewed by Wheatley today and someone rang in about taking the cup to Canberra. He said it’ll definitely be going there in February but haven’t locked in the exact details yet.

Thanks mate

Just having a look at the AFL website, we have some interest in Sam Sofronidis from Collegians in the VAFA.

Too soon for mine, I wouldn’t mind Anthony Rocca

Anyone from the 2002 Grand Final team would be good but Ant. Rocca or the suspended Jason Cloke would be my preference.

Phil Cox to unfurl the Premiership Flag. Our new unofficial international ambassador.

 

[soreplums]

Fun fact(which probably won't interest a flag spoil sport like you): 1990 marked the first time a male unfurled a Collingwood flag. Traditionally, it had always been the President's wife who did the honours. Big Al changed that. Jock McHale Jr was given the job in 1991. Think Daicos and T Shaw did it in 2011.

Maybe Nick Maxwell this time around? Thorold Merrett would be a nice touch?

Thought it was Presti?

 

[Doc1763]

Thought it was Presti?

yep, definitely Presti

 

[MyManLynch]

The day before they’re on the Gold Coast.

The day after they’re in Hobart.

They’re not going to be venturing very far from Ingleburn or the airport.

They may fly it over your house.

 

[76woodenspooners]

They may fly it over your house.

I would there to be some mad rich Collingwood supporter amongst us who does something crazy like sponsor Qantas / Virgin to decal a fleet plane out in “Collingwood 2023 Premiers” livery.

THAT goal umpire?

Thought it was Presti?

Cheers. Maybe Daicos and Shaw carried it out and then handed it over to presty?

I think you could be right

Does anyone know if the 2010 trophy went on tour?

Sort of.

Yes ...but with Peter McKenna.

Peter better wear a helmet.

Here's an interesting article from Collingwood Forever about Jack Hamilton, born November 15th 1928.
The sad thing is that he died a few months before we won the 1990 flag, so the cup was presented by his son.
There's an echo of that in this year's GF, with Peter Moore presenting the cup to Darcy - family connections.

Jack Hamilton

It isn’t often that a footballer is likened to a ‘fire-breathing dragon’. But that’s the tag applied to Jack Hamilton back in 1951 – and few of the forwards he ever lined up against would have argued with its appropriateness. Hamilton, of course, would later go on to run the VFL and become the...

Thanks for posting - Jack was a very funny man and a much loved and respected football administrator- sad that he died in a tragic accident not long before our 1990 flag.

Is there any record/pics of the cup tour?
