HELLO my little bloggy, It's been too long.
Today's theme is HERE.
I admit, I don't watch AFL, I haven't for years. I used to watch it when I was very young with my grandfather and back then I had a few teams I went for, mainly Hawthorn and Geelong. However, my uncle Timmy was an avid Collingwood supporter and I remember him playing his single track record on our record player over and over which is why I know the team song so well. I think my mum or other uncle still has the very record. My grandfather was also a passionate Collingwood supporter, and he is the only reason I ever watch AFL. AFL is a rather strange game when you put the rules on paper, even what they wear is a little weird. Anyway so why do I barrack for Collingwood, The black and white, The magpies? My uncle Timmy who was renown for buying tickets to the grand final in belief that Collingwood would be playing, passed away in 1990, the year they won the grand final. His request was that his ashes were scattered on the Collingwood football ground, which his brother and children fulfilled. My Grandfather, although he had other personal requests for his own ashes; my family only found it fitting to have his coffin painted Collingwood black and white. It was a site to behold. I have a photo somewhere, I promise to show you one day.
Until then.... enough AFL...Enjoy some photos. Its been a while. X
