Had a lovely couple come for a walk With us this weekend - Jacqui & DJ. Jacqui didn’t really have a club she followed, the tour was a gift for her husband, DJ.
DJ is a lifelong barracker for the Pies, but had never been to Vic Park (they live in QLD). By the end, DJ & I had converted Jacqui to barrack for the greatest football club in the world. Well done, DJ.

Be like DJ - convert your family.

Some recent Magpie history…. ❤️😭

We had Glenn (a born & bred Novacastrian [UK] who has lived in Auckland the past decade) come on a walk with us the past week. He knew nothing about the Mighty Magpies other than we were born in 1892, a working class supporter base, & played in black & white stripes (same with his beloved - check out his top) - so while he was in town, he thought he check us out & find out if there were any more similarities between his Mags & the Pies.
Safe to say, after spending 2 hours with us (& 130 years of Collingwood history), he is now part of our Pies family.

Was great to have Glenn along to convert him! 😂

We had disappointing weather yesterday. No wind, leaves, or hayfever - we were promised Autumn weather & got Spring. It was all sunshine & Pies history. ☀️

Two brothers David & Michael forgave us & were happy to take a 130 year walk with us anyway.

26/04/2023

So following on from the previous post, the largest Home & Away game was Round 10, 1958 between Melbourne and Collingwood, with a crowd of 99,256.

Other than being the Queen's Birthday clash, I can't find anything to indicate why it was so heavily attended. I'm sure someone will know why.

An amazing photo of the day from the Demonwiki website.

We say sorry.

Beautiful weather today - we had Dawn & Jeff along for a walk down Magpie history. Jeff wanted to recreate the 1990 Grand Final, so we naturally obliged & helped him live his dreams of winning a flag for Collingwood.

One of our faves. Happy bday, Paul.

Happy 50th birthday Paul Williams🎂
Born on the 3rd of April 1973.
Williams, who retired as a player at the end of the 2006 season, enjoyed a fine career with three clubs, highlighted by involvement in an AFL premiership with Sydney in 2005. When the Swans beat West Coast in that year's Grand Final, Williams was playing his 294th senior AFL game, making him the longest-serving player ever to break through for a debut flag.
Originally from North Hobart, Williams impressed as a dynamic, long kicking centreline player and on-baller who was capable of turning a match off his own boot. He was recruited by Collingwood and made his AFL debut as an 18-year-old in 1991. In 10 seasons with the Magpies, he played a total of 189 games and kicked 223 goals, and at his best was widely acknowledged as one of the finest running players in the game, with his ability to kick prodigious distances while moving at full pelt being arguably the most distinctive feature of his play.
After being badly hampered by ankle problems during the mid-'90s, Williams recovered to play some of his best football towards the end of the decade, although at the same time it emerged that he was becoming unsettled with life at Victoria Park. In 2001 he crossed to Sydney where his impact was immediate and considerable; he won consecutive club best and fairest awards in 2001-2 and in 2003 was included in the AFL All Australian team.
However, far and away Williams' most noteworthy achievement was participation in the aforementioned 2005 premiership team. After kicking two vital goals in the Preliminary Final win over St Kilda, Williams produced a typically effervescent, hard running performance on Grand Final day to amass 18 telling disposals and prove a constant thorn in the side of the opposition. Paul Williams went on to play a dozen games in his final season to take his tally at retirement to 306; he booted 307 goals.

Saturday’s win moved Craig McRae into 1st place as the club’s winningest coach (highest winning %), ahead of Dick Condon (1905-06)

1. McRae @ 70.37% (27 games 19 wins 8 losses)

2. Condon @ 70.27% (37 games 26 wins 11 losses)

Check out the records…

[Bob Rush & Ron Richards technically higher @ 100%, getting all wins from all games coached but that being 3 games in total, we can’t compare their records to Fly. 😂]
