I promise you I’m not that interesting. I was a nerd at school, with a rough home life, and just tried to get through it and hopefully come out the other side.Can I pry into your PM conversation? This Ivanhoe Grammar boy would find it amusing re.
Smells stick with me too. Still remember the smell of the hamburgers cooking behind the Sherrin Stand.
For me, the smell - or more accurately the odour - of the hot pink industrial strength and highly artificial ‘tomato sauce’ dispensed from a huge plastic drum at Vic Park. Was ‘injected’ into the meat pies at the kiosk behind the Rush Stand. Still can’t get that smell out of my head.

Love it. Was there anything like Victoria Park? Some of the best days of my life.
Exactly my point was happy top level with no cover at all. Brilliant day to be a maggieI was so far back in the Ponsford that day I was actually sitting behind the scoreboard. It offered no protection from the rain though, but unlike the Essendon fans I was with I didn't care.
Playing kick to kick with Damien Monkhurst as an 8 year old and then meeting all the players at some function for kid members in the early 90s. Players who make the effort for child fans are good eggs, those memories can stick with people forever.
Laphroaig heaven!Yeah south smells hit you where you live.
I can remember getting home very late on the night of the '90 GF with my son asleep in my arms and a manic smile still plastered over my face.
After putting him to bed and sitting with the missus having a sip and a sup I went to my little cellar and pulled out a 25yo + bottle of Laphroaig, then slipped out onto the patio.
THAT is the smell I remember most powerfully - mellow and peaty, amber smoothness personified. I must have spent a couple of hours out there, toasting the Pies and my dad's shade who must have been causing absolute mayhem up there lol.
I still have another 6 bottles of that ambrosia - now nearly 50 years old - and almost got to crack a bottle this year.
And if I was alive for Phil Carman head butting the umpire then that would be #1.
yeah he did it when he was playing for essendon so I don't even know if it qualifies as.a great Collingwood moment, maybe just a great moment.I was well and truly alive (6yo) but cannot remember that either.
One that I can remember vivdly is John Bourke - yikes!

Either way it pales in comparison to what Johnny Bourke did.
The commentary from Slug Jordan was A++ though.That game was telecast on TV. Think it was called the Army Reserves cup or something like that back then.
I rarely watched it but on that day I just happened to decide to watch it. Couldn't believe what I was seeing.
Jumped into the crowd as well to try to take a few supporters on.
