2023, September 30th. My wife joined the Pies for the 1st year and we watched us win the flag at Bangkok with the Australian Chamber and 300+ other Aussies. Great day. We watch every game here in Thailand as international Members on Watch AFL. She has become a huge footy fan. Looking forward to getting back to the 'G and watch a game live.

My Magpie Army Moment started a generation ago in the 1960s when my late father sang at the Collingwood Football Club. Born in 1969 I have been, along with my two siblings and now my four children, a lifelong Magpie supporter. I love the passion, side by side and how my entire family comes together to support and celebrate the Pies - even from New Zealand, I'm watching every game live and connecting with my two adult children who attend matches in Melbourne. It's a highlight of my week - we enjoy being part of a club who acknowledge and appreciate their fans, do their absolute best every week to entertain, delight and inspire their members - Go Pies!

My brother Chris and I have been proud Collingwood members for over 25 years and after all those seasons, this is still the greatest home and away game we've ever experienced together. Watching another incredible comeback, then seeing Jamie Elliott kick the match winner to beat Carlton by just one point was unforgettable. To secure a top four finish while knocking our biggest rivals out of finals made it even sweeter. The atmosphere at the MCG was unlike anything I've ever experienced. Complete strangers were hugging, screaming and celebrating together. Sharing that moment with my brother, after more than two decades of following the Pies side by side, is a memory we'll never forget. It perfectly sums up what being part of the Magpie Army is all about.
