Pies on VCR
My mum was a die hard fan and member of the club for over 20 years. She lived and supported through the painful years in the 70s/80s and believed that she was personally responsible for the Grand Final losses and a curse to the club, so she would tape the games on VCR and watch them later. I wasn't alive to see 1990 but I was alive and watching the 2010 AFL GF replay and my most vivid memory was telling my mum that she could come in and watch because the Pies were up by over 40 with only a few minutes to go. With a lot of hesitation and swearing, she came into the room and began to bawl her eyes out with happiness that they had done it. It is one of the great memories I have with my mum who passed away in 2014.
