For years, especially when we were performing poorly, the AFL would schedule us at 1pm on Mother's Day at the MCG while we'd be mocked for getting a crowd of only 15,000.

Well, strike me dead. I just looked at next week's schedule and lo and behold ....

1pm Collingwood vs West Coast (which will be 11am in Perth)
Furthermore, it's to be played at Docklands. Yes, Collingwood will play a home game at Docklands.

I'm flabbergasted that the AFL have done something so good with their fixturing. So kudos to the AFL.

Most Pies fans don’t know who their mother is, so it’s fine.

Father's Day must be so confusing for them too

To the tune of The Addams Family ...

"Your sister is your mother,

Your father is your brother.

You all *ahem* one another,

The Magpie family"

I met this woman a few years ago who told me how she had six children under 10 years of age.

All the kids, both boys and girls, were called 'Daicos' because she was such a massive Collingwood fan.

"Fair enough" I said "but how do address your kids given they all have the same name?"

"No problem" she told me."I just call them by their surnames"
 

Gold, Big Col!

Edit. Interesting that on my device 'Col' was initially spell checked into Collingwood !

On mine it corrects to "colon". So, basically the same thing.
