How could anyone be an Essendon supporter? Or a Collingwood supporter?
Published 1 year, 7 months ago in Sport & Leisure.How could anyone be an Essendon supporter? Or a Collingwood supporter? Once-great teams that have lost their way. Soul-less, hopeless, no ticker. Give them away and follow a team with a glorious past and glorious future: CARLTON.

But surely having one eye turned to “a glorious past” and the other to “a glorious future” must leaves you nothing with which to focus for today.
Two wins, one loss and eigth on the ladder doesn’t look that “glorious” to me.
Surely the history and the Aussie icon that is collingwood would make anyone passionate to follow this very worthy team. I mean to say…….bull dogs…….could be anywhere in the world, saints………once again…….lions………are you thinking safari parks……..blues………..well, depression comes to mind…….But MAGPIES……….just the thought of their warble…….its so Aussie……meat pies……….holden cars.
Essendon have still got a glorious future ahead, we have got to get that 17th Premiership before those blue baggers!!!!!! At least we are in the 8!
Good on you nooknook, enjoy the smugness of winning as agressively as you can. As a Carlton fan the window of your content will be a small one so shout as loud as you can til this weekend!
Carlton supporters have yet to learn how to be good winners. Perhaps it is because they haven’t had many wins over the past ten years. Since they were caught cheating the salary cap perhaps they should change their names to the Cheetahs!
Second on the ladder and the Colliewobbles on Anzac day, how sweet that will be!! (I HOPE!!!!!!!!!)
How can anyone be a football supporter after the way the game has been bastardised by commercialism.
I agree with whitehorseman. It’s not any paticular team that has lost it’s soul it’s the whole league that has gone down the gurgler.
oh c’mon wheres your passion ??????……..Good ol collingwood forever, they know how to play the game>…………………………………….
You’re kidding, right?
I have never watched a football match, I don’t care for the game at all (I know, very un-Australian of me, but I am a girl, and none of my immediate family cares for the game… actually I don’t think any of my family really watches it, with the exception of a great uncle or two). Anyway, I chose collingwood when I was 10 for the sake of a school footy parade. I chose it purely because I like magpies.
A hell of a lot of water is wasted on football fields.
OOPS its back to the Essendon gliders this week!!!!! Not enough Anzac spirit!!!!!!
I agree with some of the above comments about the change in the game. I’ll reveal myself to be a real fossil, but I think the national competition is a joke. The concept is ok and certainly crowd numbers are way up, but the way it’s been done is ridiculous, giving such big incentives and bonuses to the interstate teams. No Victorian side has won a flag for five years and rarely (or never) will in the future until the playing field is level (to bugger around with a metaphor).
I’m with you winnierose. Magpies, truly Australian. The only team worthy to carry the Anzac spirit in a football game!
The odds were against us, the crowd attendance was against us; yet we prevailed! Go Pies!!
I hate Collingwood. But so long as they only win a flag once every 32 years and so long as (like Geelong) they keep losing grand finals I suppose they can stay in the competition as amusement for those of us who follow serious sides. But ditch all the interstate sides, as per nooknook’s note above. Hawthorn and Essendon too. That leaves 10 teams, which is enough, or we could pull up a few from the VFL.
But your original post was just to be provocative, wasn’t it? Go Lions.
