Pies have swindled us a bunch over the years. A late first round pick for Chris Dawes. Trading Geelong Clark and taking Lumumba so they could get Varcoe. Howe for Kennedy and change. Relieving them of the Grundy salary so we could embark on the most pointless experiment ever.

Sorta what I was getting at 😄

Jerry Seinfeld's what-the-deal-about spiel about sports fans was that ultimately we support laundry.... we love Howe, then he plays in a Collingwood jumper and we hate him. We get Grundy ... or perhaps Mihocek ... and that fresh new Melbourne jumper means now we love him. Go back many decades ago and Catholic and Protestant schoolboys would throw rocks at each other and marrying someone from the 'other' religion well, you'd think twice .... and I'm talking about here in Australia. This all seems as frivolous. While I love AFL fans booing and hissing at pantomime-like villains I really don't care about Buckley's past clubs. I sure hope the current grumbles are in jest.

BTW is Barassi our last official coach to have actually played for us? It never bothered me that the coaches since came from 'enemy territory'.

How could I have forgotten Grundy?!

Where to put him on the ledger?

Norm Smith was a Collingwood supporter as a kid

Dannie Seow is on the list, don't ask me why I remember must be the uncommon name

Really?

Well, what symmetry if our putative next coach can deliver 6 premierships!

Good get, Doc.

Qualifies for the 'Who??' list, immune from the ledger.

What happened to '29, Goffy? Don't stint!

A '28-to-'31 four-peat has a particularly relevant ring to it, 100 years on.

…and 26 27?

Can someone get the footage? I swear McGuire just said Petracca and Clarry have never achieved what Buckley did on the field.

How does Bang, bang , bang sit with you Eddie?

...and a Norm Smith for Trac.

In a winning side.

Anybody mention Danny Seow?

I always liked Chris Dawes. Shame he wasn't a better footballer.

Heritier was good I thought in his 20 or so games. He also sealed that win against GC in Round 1 2015 which was our first Round 1 in like a decade. The crowd sounded like 80k when he kicked that goal. Great memory.

A bit like Lachie Hunter’s tenure at the Dees.

Year 1 he was a productive regular best 22. Year 2 he fell off the face of the earth from a footballing perspective.

I mean technically it’s only bang, _, bang. The middle bang was Tommy Sparrow.

But Oliver extracts it and handballs to Trac who gives it to Sparrow. They had their names written all over it

Todd Viney officially coached as a care taker for a five games back in 2011.

One good thing that came from them to us is our current head of recruiting

That is a very good get, reynolds!

Straight to the top of the plus side of the ledger.

Did he and our putative coach work together? Well?

Silver medal for you, Trident 😄

I'd like to think of what we could do for Collingwood in two weeks!

Do Landers realise, if Adelaide hopefully thump Collingwood this week (or even just beat them) and we beat them in the last round, the Bulldogs would get ahead of them on percentage and the filth will be out of the finals. This is assuming the bullies beat West Coast this weekend then Freo at home the following.

What a short but magnificently sweet deathride.

Come on Dees (and Bulldogs) - GET ON BOARD

Yee-haaa! Giddy-up!!

They very generously packaged Mark Neild up in a lovely set of words, and sent him our way.

What’s Collingwood ever done for Melbourne?

Answer - In the past few years they have caused us (me) abject misery.

I honestly hope we can return the favour a little in the last game of the home & away season (our mini grand final in August)🤞

I saw a Facebook post on Monday from a bookie offering 200-1 that Collingwood miss the finals! Something like 14 or 15 different things have to happen for this marvelous dream to eventuate.
