The Nando's near the gabba has shut down... My pre game ritual with it. Confidence sapped!

Was it really working?

3KZ is Football’s Official Best Three Wins Against Collingwood

Gold Medal Victory

My brain exploded when Akermanis kicked the sealer. This was one of the most desperate and heroic efforts from the Greatest Team I have ever seen.

Silver Medal Victory

Paul Roos ... what more can you say!

Bronze Medal Victory

Another Premiership. Enjoyed this one because we came in as underdogs and stamped our authority all over Collingwood. Great to see the boys stick it up Eddie and his Victorian Media Darlings. Robert Walls must have backed Collingwood, because he was bleeding in the box.

At this one. A nasty game of football. Gary Wilson was knocked out in the opening minutes of the first quarter by Ron Wearmouth, if my memory serves me correctly. A violent brawl ensued and the Umpires lost control of the game. The score in the first quarter was so low because nobody wanted to go near the ball. Every possession was a potential king hit for the ball carrier. At quarter time they brought Wilson out on a stretcher and the Fitzroy boys IGNITED! I have never seen a team play so angry and with such resolve. Collingwood were humbled on their home ground in front of their supporters in the opening round of the season. I will never forget the animosity on the ground and in the stands. This sort of game could never happen again.


At this one too. Bernie Quinlan made history at the Junction Oval.

There’s nothing like beating Collingwood. Let’s hope we can do it today.

Smashing them at their last game at Vic Park has to be right up there!

Still, if we play bad enough that I need to restart my habit, I'm sure I'll be able to bum a smoke!

No entirely sure what it is you'd be smoking though.

 

[Comeback Lions]

WE GET IT YOU'RE GOOD AT PICKING GOAL KICKERS JESUS.

Never thought you were the JEALOUS TYPE, CAPS KING!

 

[Zacisonfire]

Nervous.

 

[Davemonkey]

PA is bearable.

 

[scoman]

Let the horror show begin......

 

[Dylan12]

Personally think we've gone in way too tall.

Hope this isn't lost at the selection table.

In the back?

 

[Milk Steak]

Easy kick to an open leading forward? Nah, we’ll take another miss thanks

 

[SizeMatters]

Eagles going hard. Can't see him keeping up this intensity though for the whole game. heck he looks driven.

 

[Jivlain]

Active start from Zorks

And some noise frees

 

[Milk Steak]

Eagles going hard. Can't see him keeping up this intensity though for the whole game. glory be he looks driven.

He needs to reel it in a bit. The umps have given him some leeway after going on with it late a couple of times

 

[marooned]

We are on bringing the pressure.

 

[jackess]

Positive signs apart from Bundy's kick and Eagles mistake

 

[MacMum]

Can hardly hear the commentary on Fox....anyone else having the same problem?

...good start though.

 

[Milk Steak]

Martin should not be given the ball to kick inside 50

 

[SizeMatters]

I think it's obvious the Lions will be going hard the first half. Pies should be tied fter playing 3 games in 2 weeks. Can't see us keeping this intensity for the whole game though.
