A one-eyed Magpies fan keeps us up to date on how he is spending his days (and nights) in the week leading up to Saturday’s game between Collingwood and the Brisbane Lions.
Grand Final week. Oh, my heart. In my adult life, I’ve been to well over 600 Collingwood games. There’s been winning and losing Grand Finals. I’ve hugged many strangers over the years when the siren’s sounded, and I’ve broken down in tears .Forget Rome, I can think about Collingwood every 10 or so minutes, and sometimes much, more than that.
Friday night’s prelim final… wow. I did not enjoy it. The last six minutes was torture. When the siren went, me and my friends who’ve been with me at the footy over 30 years cried out a heap of WE DID IT followed by jugs full of WE’RE IN THE GRAND FINAL. It was wild. We love each other and we love the Pies.
Monday has seen a lot of SMS group discussion , about what the hell we’re going to do with Daniel McStay out. We haven’t cracked it yet.
