Ryan Z reflects back on the 2011 Grand Final.
Meeting Maxy
October 24, 2012 by 6 Comments
Many AFL supporters that don’t support Collingwood are quick to degrade Premiership player and Collingwood Captain Nick Maxwell; a little too quick if you ask me. I won’t shy to the fact that for the past two years I have jumped to Maxy’s defense when he’s bagged in an online or real life environment. [Read more]
Don’t let the Dawes (insert pun)

Crowley winning Fremantle’s B&F shows how things have changed at Dockerland, says Sean Curtain, and were the low placings of Tippett and Travis Boak solely about their form? He runs the ruler over the club B&F awards.

1980 A Personal Footy Almanac – Preliminary Final, Saturday 20 September, Collingwood v Geelong, VFL Park
September 19, 2012 by 12 Comments
As a neutral observer of sporting contests, I generally find some reason or other for supporting one team. Today’s tricky. I want the team to win today that’s most likely to lose to Richmond next week. But which is that? Logic tells me I should want Collingwood to get up. They finished fifth. We beat [Read more]
Magpie mateship for McCarthy

Danielle Eid *Rewind to 2 weeks ago* Surely there is no way we would make it to the preliminary-final, don’t even CONSIDER the Granny. No really, booking a week holiday in Sydney during grand final week is fine. There’s nothing to worry about, if we meet West Coast again they’ll probably just belt us [Read more]
AFL Finals Week 2: Why the underdogs can win
September 13, 2012 by 4 Comments
After tipping Fremantle to defend Geelong and Sydney to defeat Adelaide last week (alright, I also tipped Collingwood), I firmly believe that both underdogs can win this week’s semi-finals. Such is the nature of finals football and in a testament to the competition’s evenness this year, both of the favourites (Collingwood and Adelaide) could be [Read more]

Steve Fahey looks at the selection conundrum facing Collingwood ahead of their first final against Hawthorn – but will it matter who they put on the park?
Finals fever: Making a mark – Billy was my hero
September 4, 2012 by 7 Comments
The autographs are faded, but they’re still a vivid and enduring reminder of the heroes of my youth. They appear on a white Yakka branded Tommy Sherrin that I “marked” in the maddening MCG crowd at the 1978 Collingwood v Hawthorn Qualifying Final. On the eve of another high-stakes Collingwood-Hawthorn final, my memory bypasses last [Read more]

AFL Round 22 – West Coast v Collingwood (Floreat Pica): Pies midfield needs to get hands dirty

By Rory Adams A visit to Subiaco is like a throw back to the old surburban grounds in Melbourne. Facilities are adequate as long as a quick beer or coffee is not needed as these amenities feel quite archaic compared to the MCG or the Docklands. Once seated however the ground has a much better [Read more]
The Reverend remains faithful in Afghanistan
August 20, 2012 by 17 Comments
I lazily roll out of bed and wander down to the shops. “Salaam alaekum.” This isn’t Sydney Rd, Brunswick. This is Kabul, Afghanistan. I grab the basics – bread, eggs, juice – and introduce a new (expat) neighbour to my bootleg booze dealer; a teenage shop assistant called Sadam Hussein. That’s his actual name. He [Read more]

A bit of sport on the weekend
August 6, 2012 by 8 Comments
I saw a bit of sport on the weekend. A bit more than usual. All of it live. Missed some as well – two games of football and a game of netball. I will usually go out of my way to miss a game of netball. Most of the games had good outcomes. But there [Read more]
