I think we all need to thank Eddie McGuire for rebuilding this beautiful club into a footballing powerhouse. Despite his knockers, the bloke has worked tirelessly for our club and he has been the driving force for the past 10 years. Because of Eddie, we have been able to be able to assert ourselves as the "trendsetter" in football. We ARE the benchmark.

We were the first team to have a real "player development" dept, and other such initiatives, that were made possible by the money that Ed and the board have been able to being into the club (despite the issue with the pubs). Thanks Ed!

Mick Malthouse has also had his knockers along the way. We would often read on here and in the media that "Mick Malthouse will never deliver us a flag", "Mick's game plan is flawed", "boundary line football will never win the Pies a flag", and other popular theories like "Mick has no plan B" and the like. But boy, he has proved his doubters wrong. Mick, with the help of his assistants (including our coach in waiting) has put together a game plan that has won us a premiership. He deserves respect.

Mick deserves our thanks and our gratitude. I hope Mick doesn't move onto another club, because I hope he is a Collingwood man for life. Thanks Mick!

Derek Hine (and his team of scouts and assistants), please take a bow. You guys are fair dinkum f^&king unbelievable! You have done some tremendous work with your talent identification. Thanks Derek and team!

I started posting on here back in 1999. I was just a kid, but a kid that was desperate to see our club have some success. At the time, I thought I would never see our club become a powerhouse again. We were abysmal, the club was in dire straits. I'm so proud of where we have come from. But you guys on Nick's have made it all worthwhile.

During the past 11 years posting on Nick's, there are been some fantastic people who have come and go. I want to thank all of you for making this place what it is, and for making our losses bearable (well sometimes, lol), while making our wins all the more enjoyable. Thanks guys!

Finally, thank you to the team for their mighty spirit yesterday. Starting with Maxwell, a bloke often maligned throughout his career and who was one of Nick's own when he came to Collingwood.

We (Nick's) were one of his original players sponsors. This bloke personifies the Collingwood spirit - Side by Side. He has fought for everything during his career. His never say die attitude is magnificent, and it has become part of the heart and soul of every player on our list. This bloke walks the talk and leads by example. Thanks Maxy! Thanks you everyone else on the list. You guys are now Collingwood legends.

Collingwood, 2010 AFL Premiers.

**** yes!

What a magnificent occasion it was yesterday. I was lucky enough to have been there in 1990 and at both grand finals this year. I was also at the 2002 and 2003 grand finals.

Yesterday was a very sweet victory. 1990 was more of a sense of relief that we had finally done it.

Here are a few special mentions.

Steele Sidebottom is a sensational player. As I may have mentioned before, he reminds me a bit of Kevin Bartlett when he times his crumbing off packs to kick goals. He is a beautiful kick on both sides, has a cool head, is clean and doesn't lose one on ones.

Alan Didak, has proven to himself that he is a tough bastard. Dids tackling and intensity all year have been first class and to have played with a torn muscle for the last 6 weeks is a phenomenal effort.

Scott Pendlebury - I mark him harder then any other Pie, perhaps because he is the most influential player that we have. What a superb effort in winning the Norm Smith and contributing so much last week as well despite your illness. Remember it was Pendles who laid the almost final tackle in the drawn grand final.

Luke Ball - pure class. No Lenny Hayes, no St Kilda? Completely blanketed Hayes and did the job superbly.

Ben Johnson - the Dennis Banks of 2010. Collingwood through and through, his kicking skills are precision.

Heath Shaw - his desperation and will to compete saved us in the drawn grand final. Now he has shown himself to be in our best again and stopped a certain goal from "St Nick". Great game again. Absolute star.

As for the rest of the team and coaching staff, this is the best Collingwood team that I have seen in over 30 years. The camaderie and teamsmanship of the players is amazing. It has been a pleasure to have seen almost all of the games live this year.

Go Pies, you bloody rippers!

Well said Joel.

Gotta love it!!!

One big big thank you to our skipper.
Without that desperate lunge to save a goal last week, we would not have had the opportunity to taste victory this week.

I think I've watched the replay 5 or 6 times already and can't get the silly smile off my face. I love my pies.
