For those of you who were looking forward to a match report by yours truly on the Pies vs Saints game i do sincerely apologise. As the season flowed it was said the threat to Collingwood would be the Eagles- well, we beat them. Then people said no, the Saints are still the worst threat to [Read more]
Sorry Tazza…I LOVE YOU! *blubbers*

Wasteful and lost. That’s how my boys looked, up until the fourth quarter. From a Magpie’s perceptive it was a shocking effort for the majority of the game.

We’ll be missing our star ruck man Darren Jolly, Ben Johnson, there’s rumors that the skipper be a miss too and it will be a day when Venus, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter align.

Anzac Day clash and a failed bouquet marking attempt

Where do I begin? Lebanese weddings, it’s fair to say, they go for a good two weeks. Two weeks of celebrating, food, drinking, dancing, dressing up, sleeping late, waking up early and ringing in your ears from the LOUD music and traditional Lebanese drummers. To say that it’s a crazy experience is an understatement and [Read more]
Sav Rocca – my childhood hero
April 21, 2011 by 8 Comments
Unable to sleep in bed at 2:30am is a good time for me to be having a nice scan of the sports section in the Herald Sun website. A familiar face catches my eye. It is the face of my childhood hero, Sav Rocca. Growing up and watching Collingwood, Sav was my everything. Being too [Read more]
Footy exPIEriment
March 23, 2011 by 33 Comments
Being a student in the faculty of psychological science, i couldn’t help but try and conduct a small experiment to do with footy. We all know how people react to Collingwood supporters, so i took note of the reactions of my new classmates and lab buddies to see if it effects how they act to [Read more]
Yes we won the NAB Cup but I want Medders back!
March 12, 2011 by 15 Comments
I kinda thought it would be pretty exciting to win the NAB Cup, but when it happend I wasn’t exactly happy dancing or anything. The year could not have started any worse, with our deteriorating backline of champions sidelined with injury, our captain tweeting photos of himself in a hospital bed (mind you in seeing that [Read more]
Nab Cup- The good, bad and ugly.
February 13, 2011 by 7 Comments
Don’t we all just love the start of a new footy season? We get new players, new teams, new jumpers, new scandals, new game plans and in my case a stunner of a new beau. While I love a new footy season, I don’t exactly have any love for the NAB cup.
JTH’s Writing Seminar

Hey peeps! So I thought id give u a look at what took place in my folder during the writing seminar at JTH’s house. After venturing through the forest (also known as the garden) in heels (not recommended) and meeting John’s very pretty wife and adorable children, the chatting and learning began. I’m pretty sure [Read more]
Federer Fever
January 20, 2011 by 11 Comments
For most of the class of 2010, the week leading up to the Australian Open was pretty stressful. Monday 17th of January meant two things. It was the day university offers came out and it was also the start of the 2011 Australian Open. Monday came and I didn’t watch any tennis, I got home [Read more]

by Danni Eid I’ve noticed how cricket is suddenly taking over the main page of the website and it kinda kills me. I just can’t handle cricket, I find it boring- please don’t kill me!!!- Meh you know what, I’ve seen a premiership so go ahead, Lol. What I’m saying is I love cricket as [Read more]

Okay so I was thinking about, the whole Jack might be going to Freo thing and I guess maybe it’s not THAT bad. While I know it means that id have to kinda-sorta adopt Freo as my second team, a photo I found of myself kinda made me realise that it’s not going to be [Read more]
Jack Anthony leaves Danni (and Collingwood)
November 6, 2010 by 36 Comments
Sat –Nov 6th 11:26PM- a confirmation on the Herald Sun website reveals Jack Anthony has left Collingwood and will nominate for the pre-season draft. — Take a glass, throw it to the floor and smash to a billion pieces- that’s what happened to my heart. I had no awareness of anything around me, Jack left, [Read more]
Year 12 toughie
October 21, 2010 by 25 Comments
I’m the toughie of the group. I’m like the Luke Hodge or Jonathan Brown of my group. One of my closest friends who ive been to school with for thirteen years had never seen me cry until this night. I am human, of course I do show emotion (mostly when it involves my Collingwood boys) [Read more]
Eid rides roller coaster- manages not to fall off.
October 3, 2010 by 26 Comments
Thursday- 30th September 12:35am I’m at that point where my brain is going to either melt or explode. As Damo Watson pointed out to me the other day- at the start of the season I had said that I didn’t want Collingwood to win the flag during my year 12 VCE year. The reason for [Read more]
The Draw
September 25, 2010 by 27 Comments
Seeing as the grand final did not have a traditional ending, a rather awkward one infact. I have decided not to bore you with the details but provide you with what I saw as the good parts. First off, I woke up feeling rather ill, not sure if it was from nerves of the three [Read more]
Brownlow Fashion
September 21, 2010 by 26 Comments
It’s a known fact that Magpies are strongly attracted to shiny objects. The premiership cup, that’s one bloody shiny thing! In my head I can imagine the WAGs sitting in a room with designer jewelry spread in front of them, all they have to do is pick and advertise it on TV when asked. Anyone [Read more]
A happy Blubbering mess
September 18, 2010 by 28 Comments
Maybe this will be the year; maybe, just maybe my boys might pull it off. The only problem is that first we have to get through Geelong. Thompson was right to say that we are jealous; I personally can admit I am. Geelong have everything going for them, they kick our derrieres every time in [Read more]
“She loves footy, she loves it not…”
September 17, 2010 by 13 Comments
by Danni Eid One of the best things about having friends that aren’t that into footy, is that they say the funniest things when they try to talk about it. Candy is the main offender. One minute she wants nothing to do with it, the next she’s asking me questions about it. She claims to [Read more]
Missing Magpies- Rusling & O’Bree
September 9, 2010 by 20 Comments
It’s never a good idea while you are studying to go onto the sports section of the Herald Sun website. You might come across something that will make you emotional and effect your concentration. I have to admit, I do this often but today I was hit with something that reduced me to tears. It [Read more]
