Great idea Eastern, maybe we could do a similar thing when we play the bombers and swans.

The theory would be that this would have the effect of producing overall "crowd colours" of Red, White & Black, giving an overall St Kilda feel.kosifantutti wrote:But why?paulski wrote:Uh... I think you can still wear red whit and black, just make the red more prominent!![]()

At the moment the overall "crowd colours" would be Black & White, exaggerated by the enormous number of Collingwood members who attend, many of who are fully kitted ferals.
You may not agree with the concept but I reckon it's got merit.
And good on Eastern for putting his heart and mind into ways of helping our club.
Hawthorn had good strong leadership from the late '60s and got smart people to the club, we did the opposite. I hope Mr Summers and the board show total professionalism from this point and demand the bar is set high.bobmurray wrote:Hard to believe that in the 1971 Grand Final Hawthorn and StKilda were both playing to win their 2nd Premiership.R.

Hawthorn have just won their 11th, we are still pining for our 2nd, these clubs have followed radically different paths since 1971, one, in a huge understatement, a lot more successful than the other.

Thank you for the explanation. I also admire Eastern's enthusiasm but I can't imagine wearing a red Coles t shirt to the footy as a sign of my support for the SaintsDr Spaceman wrote:The theory would be that this would have the effect of producing overall "crowd colours" of Red, White & Black, giving an overall St Kilda feel.kosifantutti wrote:But why?paulski wrote:Uh...

If we nail the next two draft/trade periods and get 4 good players and Markworth and White come good we're good in 3 years.

Boy, looking at that side it's sobering compared to the last 5-6 years. I reckon Wright should be in it by the way...he is one of the few who could develop into a star IMOCon Gorozidis wrote:Good stuff eastern. Too much negativity and too much navel gazing and looking at the past.
This is where I see us going fwd
Gilbert Bruce simpkin
Webster Roberton Geary
Saunders Ross Aish
? White curren
Minch Lee ?
Hickey stanley Macca ?
Steven
Markworth
Int from Newnes ? ??
So for me we need to work out which is our best ruck combo
Plus whether siposs is any good as the third fwd.
I am making big assumptions on white Amish and markworth
Yep good point - people need to remember that. The key is good administration. Us supporters should spend less time whingeing about the coach and more about the ceo.lloyd21 wrote:
