WHERE WERE WE ALL ON THIS DAY 11YRS AGO?

[Joel]

I was 6 years old, and didn't watch the whole game...PITY I remember where I was though. We were at a friends place and most of us were Collingwood supporters, I remember a couple of people busting into tears.

Waiting for the game to begin. Butterflies in stomach, cannot even get a beer in there.
Feelings of been here to many times to be confident but.....

I was 19. Perfect age for celebrating and partying. I was in complete heaven. I stood still in the middle of Vic Park at the end of the day and thought "If they never do this again, I don't care. THIS IS IT!!!!" How wrong I was. I want it again. I want lots more of that feeling.

11 years? Oh man.............how fast that's gone.

Colours are an illusion. There is only black and white.

I was at home (in Sydney) screaming my lungs out watching the game on tv with my family screaming at me to shut up.

As soon as the game was over I rang my sisters boyfriend (fellow Pie supporter and the only one I knew at the time) in Melb and we had one of them emotional type of conversations where you have tears running down your face. "Bert, Bert, we won" were my first words as he answered the phone. (As if he didn't know!!!!) LOL

Go Pies!

Don't ask yourself what the club needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what Collingwood needs right now is people who have come alive.

I was in the 5th row of the cheer squad and at the 25 minute mark of the last quarter my buddy and I cracked open the two bottles of champagne we'd snuck into the ground (you'd have no hope these days!). And then proceeded to cry our eyes out until the players came over to us and we realised everyone around us was swilling our champagne!!!

We stopped at every bottle shop from the MCG to Flinders St and then it was a non-stop party at Vic Park.

Goodness knows how we got home but who cared! I think I even wore my top hat & tails for the next three days - catching up with everyone I knew who had ever bagged my beloved Pies! What a weekend!!!

GO PIES!

To mark the 11 years anniversiary I have just purchased the game on video.

I remember I was at my Grandma's house wearing my Collingwood jumper with 35 on the back, my benie and my scarf and i was crying. I was 5.

I was lucky - my dad was able to get my sister and I tickets to the game. It was fantastic (understatement!!!).

Afterwards, my friends (not collingwood supporters) refused to go to Vic Park with me so we went to the Downunder(!) instead. The Essendon cheersquad was there - I took great delight in getting up on stage by myself and singing the Collingwood song. Ah, the memories...

[PiesPremiers]

i was 5 too. all my family were at my house, and being the spoilt little shit i am, i cracked the sads because i wasnt getting any attention while the game was on.

so i sat teary eyed in my room watching the game.

that night at victoria park was the best football night of my life. all the players, the premiership cup, and the place full of drunken collingwood supporters so happy.

what i would give to have this all over again......

Collingwood "only" party at my student house in Bendigo. Kicked out all the non Collingwood residents, consecrated (sprinkled) the place with beer, and got the drunkest I have ever been in my life.

Next time I am not going to drink at all (or not much anyway).
