Top five leading entries
'We are family'
I stand SIDE BY SIDE with the Pies because...:the club unites total strangers through their supporters and makes me feel like I have known them all my life like family.
'Together we are strong'
I stand SIDE BY SIDE with the Pies because...: There is only us and them. If you aren’t one of us you just can’t understand. Collingwood Football Club, it's a religion.
'Heroes'
I stand SIDE BY SIDE with the Pies because...: I never leave a game before the final siren goes.
'Family ties'
I stand SIDE BY SIDE with the Pies because...: when I was a boy I would watch them play with Dad, after he passed away it was a way to stay connected with him.
'Pies stood by me, I'll stand by Pies forever'
I stand SIDE BY SIDE with the Pies because...: laid out in bed, immobile. With little inspiration to continue life, until Licuria, Malloy and Buckley visited. I’m now 8 years post car accident.
