Been handing out 50 metre penalties like lollies...
Interesting a few 50 metre penalties were paid when the man on the mark made a defending arc. Marsh was caught out twice doing this.
They did not give him much time.

Then the Dumbasses took away Marsh Mark of the Day for no F**king Reason

Thanks Bat!

Hopefully people appreciate the huge effort you put in when you travel to games and supply us with a running update.

Bat comes from my part of the world and we aren't talking about the leafy suburbs of Melbourne.

It would at a guess take him close to a 2 hr drive one way to make it to a game at Vic park.

As much as I'm a big enough Collingwood supporter to frequent these boards I sure couldn't be buggered doing what the Bat does throughout a season.

Kudos to him and others who go to great lengths to follow the might pies.

Swoop, you are too kind. Thank you very much for the kind words.

Yep, two hour haul either way. But it's all for the love of the black and white. And for Victoria Park especially.

Helps also having a particularly supportive family who love to come along and watch the VFL games as well and reminisce about the old days at Vic Park. Truly, a link back in time to a part of our history.

Thanks again for the compliments Swoop, cheers mate.

This was one of the cleverest things I have seen from a footballer in years. I hope the Club puts film of this up amongst the highlights. As good a solo effort to win a game as one could wish to see! I had to rub my eyes to make certain I wasn't seeing the ghost of the Macedonian Marvel in the forward pocket, haunting the old Social Club.
