Ya have it framed like mine and then it will be up forever.
I was watching that game the other day, was also watching the Grand Final before the draft. I hope next season to be able to attend my first ever Collingwood game.
The aim is the Nab Cup, sure it's not a big deal but I just want to see the boys play in person at least once. My dad watched a game in Melbourne back in the 1970s, Collingwood playing Geelong, apparently it was a draw (or a Collingwood loss.) because he said that McKenna had marked the ball on the siren and they took it off him.
I went and saw Fitzroy play Essendon and West Coast in Tasmania, would have traded both for a Collingwood game.
I reckon he would have, he was over there for a few weeks working there, I also believe he went and saw Collingwood and Geelong, so I may have gotten them mixed up there, sorry, it happens sometimes. But I have watched and listened (during the 1990s we didn't get many live games on TV) every Collingwood game since I can remember.
My first dose of football was in 1985 when I was taken to a local game, being that my family are Collingwood and Glenorchy supporters, it's been nothing but that. Parents said I had the option of either supporting Collingwood, or not supporting football....and I naturally chose supporting the Magpies.
my dad recorded the whole grand final on my tv, and he knows it off by heart now! he just fast fowards it to each goal! he can watch the whole grand final in like 35-45 minutes!
just watched Favs pat 1 & 2 highlights of the grand final and I am till composing myself with tears in my eyes. I cant stop watching the replays of the finals games leading up to the grand final.
In your life you have life changing moments. Get married, the birth of your children and now to be present at a grand final win I am just not going to be able to replace that memory. I still daydream and wish I was still at the MCG that fantastic day in M34 of the Posnford with thousands of other screaming pies supporters. To be at the top of the Ponsford after the match to witness absolute pandemonium and euphoria which I have never and probably never will experience again.
I was very fortunate to be there. I am a normal seasons ticket holder member and have been a member for a long time. But this year one of my fellow pies supporters whom we religiously stand in the Ponsford week after week was not able to go to the grand final. He had booked an overseas holiday earlier in the year that unfortunately for him coincided with grand final week. So lucky for me I had access to a legends membership and a chance in a lifetime for me. Yes Dave a bottle of a fine choice bourbon coming your way.
Man I still pinch myself. I love watching the celebrations and seeing players like Sidebottom, Dawes, Reid and Nathan brown celebrating with his twin on the fence. Seeing the players embrace Presti brings the biggest tears. Presti I have adored you for so long and your selfless act in truly inspiring and we Collingwood people will never ever forget it.
I love you Collingwood, I love Collingwood people, you cannot beat our passion and our love for this great club. I love that we have honour and history and integrity.
I too am just a season's ticket holder but missed out on getting a grand final ticket for myself and my madpie girls. However I was sooo lucky that my son managed to find 2 tickets for my husband and I on the Friday before the game.
I am really envious when reading your post because , although we had great seats on the second level in the Southern Stand, we were sitting with all the AFL suits. They were pretty impervious to the joy of the occasion,most likely disappointed in the outcome.I really missed sittting with my madpie friends as we usually did, in the Ponsford. I felt quite isolated there, however I truly enjoyed jumping for joy during the match in front of those glum faces, hoping for a saints win..LOL
What a wonderful day. First time I have seen them win a premiership. I desperately would love to feel that again, this time with my Collingwood FAMILY.

Human behavioural studies suggest people who use a lot of swear words tend to be more honest & trustworthy.
Always something to do when you have nothing to do AND that is to watch the AFL Premiers 2010 in action again. Get's better every time I watch it.
Not sure if it's been posted but did anybody pick up on the audio on Ch7 in the 3rd at the 19:20 mark? Umpire gives a free to Jolly against Koshitski. It sounds like its directed to Kosi and I guess its what most Ain't supporters where thinking of him throughout the year. Have a lsiten if you get a chance...
I have the game on my HDD. Have set up chapters prior to the build up of every Collingwood goal (as well as the build up to Shaw's smother). I can sit down and watch it all in under 20mins. It's a bit of a routine of mine after work. Crack open a coldie or 3 and watch it all again. The third quarter occasionally gets viewed in its entirety.
This is how the official DVD should be set up. If only a bit more effort was put in.
I've had some spare time this week so have watched the entire finals series back to back for the 1st time since I got my DVD pack. (The GF replay especially Q3 has already got plenty of watches).
Man, watching our team again for that month was a thing of beauty.
Every time there was a contest, a Pies player was full tilt at it. Every time a ball was loose there was a Pies player, head over it with 100% commitment. Every time a block had to made for a teammate....well you know the story.
Some other things that you notice again is some of the 'lip' our guys would give the opposition. Our aggression was fantastic, with Maxy obviously leading the way. But one which made me laugh was Swan to Picken of the Dogs after Swan had burnt him off to score in the qualifying final. Swanny just jogs back calmly to the centre square and gives Picken the old "well done mate, keep up your good work" with the sarcasm meter turned up to 100. Loved it!!!!
Hearing the 'Black & White Army' roar is the greatest sound in the world.
