Eugene firing up his old Nicks account and trolling, funny stuff

You forget that I followed the Pies for just as long as you did and lost count in the 80's, 90's and even 2000's the number of times I watched Pies fans leave early...in fact they were still doing it just before I left in 2007.
I guess Kangaroos members are used to more success than those long suffering Pies supporters from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's and that may explain some of them leaving when we were 12 goals down...whenever my eldest gets the occasional flats over the Kangaroos (and last Saturday was tough), he thinks back to the tears he cried in 2002 and 2003 and he very quickly realises how lucky he is to now support a club that is honest, hardworking and not generally accepting of mediocrity. I think you will find that the Pies were further down the ladder a lot more than the Roos over the last 20 years.
I say to Collingwood supporters, enjoy your time and good luck to you all - you deserve a little success after waiting so long - but humility is something even Ed has displayed of late. Potting our supporters for leaving early last Saturday has a touch of irony about it when I regularly watched Pies supporters abandoning their seats en masse in the past...worse still, they were baying for Malthouse's head as recent as only two years ago.
Go Roos!
