I actually own a Collingwood scarf from back when I used to watch the game with my best mate and his family who were Collingwood diehards, it was more fun to follow with them. Especially when they won a grand final and we all got real REAL drunk and sang and cried and hugged. It was a good time. I haven't seen him or them for about 9 years. I should really get rid of the scarf because I feel nothing that they won just now.
I was given a very expensive type of Collingwood memorabilia and I gave it away knowing that person absolutely would love it and not sell it.
That's cool.
yeah, I used to love going to the footy, now I just don't care. No home town feeling at all.
Who's/was your team?
As a kid I followed Hawthorn. Now I live in Carlton and have a bit of feeling for the Blues.
My husband goes for Carlton because he grew up around there.
😸
I go for Carlton too after watching them play.
It's a home town thing for me.
☺
See, I barrick for Adelaide since that's where I was born, but my family was never a huge fan of sports. Like my dad barricked for the roos but it wasn't religious in my family. Though my grandpa LOVED Geelong (later in life, when I was a kid he was a "whoever wins" kind fo guy) but my uncle is a massive Hawthorne supporter. Like joined the club and everything massive.
Send your old mate a text?
I think the time for that is long past. I don't have his contact details anymore.
