At age 7 my father took me to my first VFL game in 1960 against Melbourne at Victoria Park. I had to stand on a greengrocer's box to be able to see the action from the Yarra Falls end. Murray Weideman was captain and the Pies prevailed over the Demons and so began a lifelong love affair with the Pies. I'm now 73 and am proud to say my two sons and grandchildren have followed the family tradition.

Final siren elation
I was unfortunate not to get a 2023 Grand Final ticket but it didn't matter as I was able to experience the game at the Magpie headquarters... once the final siren went everyone was in elation. I looked in front of me and saw a young man to be in his early twenties wiping his face full of tears and smiling at the same time, as we all were... thank you for my great experience that I will NEVER forget. GO PIES!

It's about family
It's all about family. I can't think of one moment without my family being involved. Sitting at Vic Park as a child with my parents or attending now with my own children. Every memory of Collingwood is love, happiness, sometimes heartache.
