Wasn't it the Roos that were the chief club to experiment with Friday night games. Then, only after they became accepted and popular and good exposure for sponsors, then and only then did Collingwood capitalise on the Roos vision and hard work. Thats why they get the sponsors they do.
So in reality it has been the Roos that have proped up Collingwood, the club that lets others do the hard work and then cashes in.
The only question that remains to be answered is when will Collingwood learn to stand on its own two feet and stop bludging off the rest of the competition.
I don't think eddies twisting of the truth and blatant lies really fools anyone.
As far as the poker machines go. The rates of domestic violence in Victoria goes up after a Collingwood loss, so I don't think the disgusting people who support this team, this blight on our nation, give a rats arse about social responsibility.
If Collingwood ceased to exist, the total number of AFL followers would probably increase. Lets stop propping up Collingwood, the team that represents bludgers.

Tas said:We are the fourth oldest club, we were playing football in blue and white 21 years before Collingwood was even formed, and playing longer than that before there was any unified rules (which we helped to form btw).
VFL wanted to cover the key regions of Melbourne, we were a healthier club than others that were allowed into the VFL, the only negative was our close proximity to Essendon. At the time they didn't want two clubs from the same neck of the woods, don't think Essendon wanted it either.
I heard it also had something to do with us beating the ********** out Collingwood as well...

I doubt it, we had a few lean years in the VFA just prior to the forming of the VFL, but we were placed higher than a few of clubs that were allowed to enter.
*shrugs*
Ancient history though. It is good to have some local rivalries, but I do not really take it off-field. I want all clubs to be strong off-field and leave the battles to the football field.
The irony is, I think we were 'encouraged' to change from horizontal stripes to vertical stripes initially due to the clash with Geelong.
Rooboy 96 said:this has been one funny thread... with all the petty collingwood sheep defending their great leader...
Perhaps along with their guernsey change they could go the whole hog & complement it with a name change: The Collingwood Sheep!
after all their is a Childrens Farm in the suburb of Collingwood that feature quite a few sheep.

Yeah it is a bit ironic isn't it.
But we never claimed to be holding up the competition (I think). At least we don't constantly winge about that sort of thing and expect special treatment like the bludgers down at the historic Vic Park. We just role our sleeves up and get on with cheating the salary cap to win premierships.

i'm not flash on football history, maybe it's cause i was born in 1984 in another country but here goes
collingwood and their jumper heritage is a load of crock!!!! absolute bs! i dont know who put up that post about raving about collingwood and their jumpers, was it lestat, yes lestat u should run PR for collingwood cause it's obvious that ur passion for the jumper will balance out eddie's passion for the almighty $
what about port adelaide and it's rich footballing history. it had black and white stripes but it had to give it up when it entered the national competition.
what about manchester united. one of the biggest sporting clubs in the world. everybody knows it's called the red devils, it's guernsey have always been red in colour. but they, and every other multi million dollar soccer club in europe has home and away guernseys. in a way, it makes wearing the the home guernsey even more special, cause u only get to wear it half the time. it makes representing your club in front our your home fans in your home ground even that much more special cause you'll be wearing those colours only at that time.
well that's my 2c. in my opinion, collingwood and eddie mcchins are pompous and selfish. u can have your history but you have to realise your history is part of what is now a national competition. get with the times, change your colours when there is a clash. it's not hard to figure out

Why don't the AFL just step in and make them have an alternative jumper and put this squealing little purile prat and his perennially unsuccessful choking club in their places?

The person who invented Friday Night Football, Mr. Jack Hamilton, Collingwood premiership player, did so on the back of his club, Correct me if I'm wrong, but Collingwood played in the first Sunday game & first Friday game...

Rooboy 96 said:this is the same Essendon that whinges about having to play so many (of our) Friday night games???
Unfortunately you are right again. We are a pack of wingers after all. But that's only because most of us are gay, not because we are bludgers, or are you going to correct me on that one as well, you perceptive little man.

correct me if i'm wrong, but kangaroos also played in the first friday night game and i'm sure if ur information is correct mr. jack hamilton wouldn't have asked to be paired with poor old north melbourne for the very first historic friday night game'
i'm much more confidant ur esteemed mr. hamilton would have asked for a carlton, richmond or essendon opponent.
dont collingwood ppl love asking for non existant credit, i mean it's not hard to find inspiration when ur own club president thinks his club is preventing the afl from bankcruptcy
HEY WHAT WAS HIS CALL ABOUT THE AFL WHEN NAB SWITCHED SPONSERS TO THEM. THAT WAS PRETTY DEROGRATORY WASNT IT?

Tas said:If Collingwood gave a stuff about 'heritage' they wouldn't have left Victoria Park, it is just a case of selective fanatasism. it is one thing to be fanatical when it suits you, another to be consistant about it.
I think the AFL should allow Collingwood to play in the uniform that the CFC first played when the VFL was introduced. If they want to run around in their long-johns then let them knock themselves out.
To me the jumper means absoultely nothing. It is just another irrelevancy. I love our blue jumper with the white Kangaroo on it and am happy for the club to play in that, because it looks good. I couldn't give a stuff if it suits Collingwood or not. Hell, we should play in our blue and white stripes just for Collingwood home games.
Eddie should know better, he has been corrected about the equalisation fund a number of times. The money for it comes from blockbuster games where Collingwood or any other team have no right or claim to them. All the clubs involved in them know that the AFL takes a bit off the top and it goes to clubs with off-field issues. 1.5 million to Bulldogs, 1.5 million to Melbourne and 1 million to North.
Our club does not make a huge fuss or make waves, especially during a period where we are being helped out. But, if Eddie is going to claim to be a professional president, commentator, etc he should know better than that. You either say the truth or say nothing at all.
He should be very careful though, any stupid comments he makes that gets him into hot water as the president of the CFC will mean it will be the club that pays the price. You would not want you president to be making incorrect defamatory statements. North wouldn't do anything about it, I imagine other clubs would if Eddie implies other clubs are lackeys to his club.
You have to be very careful what you say this day and age.
Oh Tas......
there are holes in your argument everywhere !!
if Collingwood gave a stuff about heritage you say.......
Suggest you do yourself a favour and read the bible to Collingwood supporters, KILL FOR COLLINGWOOD. Then you may have a real understanding of our 'selective' fantaticsm !!
since when has B&W stripes not been worn by Collingwood - the club is identified by them ......no wonder you don't care about your Kangaroos jumper...neither did your club when it sold itself for that "ORANGE" jumper in 2000
your club's had over 20 different designs !Ok,take the blockbuster games from us - we'd be happy to travel more and display the 'brand' more interstate .... how would the Kanga's coffers go with only an away game against Collingwood ! don't bite the hand that feeds !
Using your logic you'd deny Melbourne their blockbuster against us Queens B'day.....since 2001 it's been a Melb home game !!!
The reason why your club makes no noise is because it's in no position of strength to do so (similar to Western Bulldogs over Fed Gov't funding and hence why AFL back flip over WADA issue)
So moving from the dilipidated Vic Park to the Lexus Centre was 'selective'. Agree. It was a bold & the right decision (for a traditionally conservative club) to leave to progress & compete against non-Vic clubs.

over Sunday yet???
I see not....
What is there to get over? Dont you get it, Collingwood are better off losing on Sunday than they would have been winning
You ran over a young side with nothing to gain, well done, feel happy

What arrogance the Pies and their supporters have , they believe the rest of the comp owe Collingwood for allowing them to play in the same competition as the Pies .
Guess what ? the more you place yourself above the rest of the Comp the more they want to take you down and what Eddie will achieve is the other clubs will force the AFL by weight of numbers to make Collingwood change or get fined or have points deducted.
Keep going Eddie paint yourself further into that corner.

If there is one thing North showed over the last millennia, its that the condition of your home base has little to do with your on field success. Moving to Olympic Park will not help you compete against interstate teams. Good trading, coaching and players will do that.
People often snipe north for being Nomadic, when they have never really left Arden Street. Collingwood is no longer in Collingwood. I suppose the argument here is that wearing a white jumper with black stripes as opposed to a black jumper with white stripes for a few games a year is less an insult to your tradition (Considering it is your 'traditional' strip anyway) than leaving your home.
Fire said:
Well what makes all you idiots think this jumper change will appease the AFL? From what I can gather, if the AFL want to force clubs to have clash jumpers, our white backed jumper is not what they want, they want a complete change
You see, you are all arguing against the wrong people, we will never change from black and white stripes, the AFL want us to change our jumper, not just the order of the ********ing colours. Collingwood is not against wearing the white background jumper, but this is not what the ********ing AFL wants. When will you all get it through your thick heads?

Too right, it's Eddie bashing again. The man thinks he is christmas on a stick and needs to pull his head in.
Why do you think the world revolves around Collingwood? Collingwood have been nothing for years. In the last 20 years they have been a laughing stock[no one remembers second] Get some premierships under your belt, Eddie. Don't just talk the talk, walk the walk. People might start having some respect for you. Renowned "easy beats" grand final day, everyone wants to play them the last day in September.
How do ya like them apples, Eddie!!!!
