Interesting vision, 30 years ago. what struck me was
Shit surface
Tight shorts
Free flowing, no whistles
No 50m arc
Cigarette advertising

106 + 87 = 193, a thankyou for taking the bullet for you would be nice.

We didn't ask you to "take the bullet" so why would we thank you?

We did actually beat Geelong that year, one of the few teams to do it.

I thought Collingwood beat North Melbourne in that friday night game. What a silly thing to say for the banner.

It's not an AFL banner, but at the cricket world cup in the early 90s at the G, for a match between India and Pakistan, someone hung a sheet from the Southern Stand:

Bus drivers v. Tram conductors

Round 7 1979 Western Oval Footscray vs South Melbourne
I also miss my "I Hate Collingwood" and "I Hate Richmond" badges.

thats ironic cos I have an "I Hate Collingwood" was my mums, she found it and was so happy with herself, now its mine.

"Fitzroy - not co-tenants. Just unwanted guests"

Pies vs Roys, 1986, when Fitzroy were 'hosting' games at Vic Park.

 

[Johnson#26]

Pies mispelt 'Collingwood' (Colingwood) in R21 1999 vs North in a tribute to the outgoing Tony Shaw.

I remember a kid at school boasting that Richmond produced the biggest banner of all time in R22 1999 vs Carlton to farewell the Giesh (the night the scoreboard caught fire). Surely not - anyone confirm or deny?

 

[McOrist]

I remember the Collingwood banner vs Melbourne in round 1 1983. In the pre-season, Peter Moore transferred from the 'Pies to Melbourne (and David Cloke joined Collingwood from the Tigers). There was a huge build-up to the round 1 game -with a lot of bad blood directed at Moore from many 'Pies fans (obviously many in the cheer squad). Collingwood's banner that day read:

"NO MOORE TROUBLES AT COLLINGWOOD"

There was also a small banner draped over the front of the middle deck of the Ponsford Stand. It read "MOORE FILTH".

Apparently Peter Moore has a promising son coming up through junior footy at the moment. I hope he's learned to forgive and forget!!

IIRC there was a banner bagging the AFL and Brisbane that Collingwood had a few years ago but the AFL saw it before hand and made them take it down.

 

[Johnson#26]

AFL Lions
With salary to spare
Fix 'em up Pies
Make 'em look like Bears.

Was changed to a tribute to Wakes' 50th game for the CFC.

 

[vjknight]

the banner that hung from the grandstand for years at every collingwood / stkilda game - simply said JOHN GREENING.

I just think gloating about it given the context is, well, churlish.

We did actually beat Geelong that year, one of the few teams to do it.

Yeah, we're the last team to beat them at Kardinia Park. 124 point turn-around in 5 weeks is...

"Fitzroy - not co-tenants. Just unwanted guests"

Pies vs Roys, 1986, when Fitzroy were 'hosting' games at Vic Park.

It was 1985, Fitzroy's home game vs Collingwood at vic park. Bernie Harris kicked 5 and the roys won by 2 goals, ending Collingwoods hope of making the finals.

Us Fitzroy folk have that one etched in the memory bank

Wow... that's alot of detail Carlton supporters put into making sure they got the Magpie right

We know you love us... or are obsessed by us! Either way you further our cause




I like this one for what it stands for

and I like this one... cause it's honest!

i remember collingwood last year in the choccos last game as coach of port adelaide, had a banner saying "Collingwood - side by side with the SA magpies"... obviously trying to rile up port fans..

i wonder how they feel now that the port adelaide magpies are merged with the port adelaide football club (the power)

Our supporter group in South Australia, is called the SA Magpies. Has absolutely nothing to do with PAMFC

 

[Father Jack]

and I'm sure the naming of the supporter group was done with absolutely no intention of making the link ...

I wonder if Collingwood were having a crack at Port Adelaide here too?

You mean the Club that Port have been claiming they are since their existence in the AFL?

How do you merge with yourself?

So West Coast pay respect to their supporter groups yeah? Cause this all seems a little confusing for you.
