Sealer (September)

Collingwood divides followers of the game down the middle. You love them or you hate them. As a Magpies barracker my whole life, I've watched this divide with permanent amusement. The Coodabeen Champions once made two lists of football truths, 'Good for Football' and 'Bad for Football'. At the head of each list was the one word: Collingwood. On the last Saturday in September there is a moment, normally sometime in the Last Quarter, when one team kicks the sealer. I have only witnessed this twice in my life with Collingwood, but it’s the unforgettable moment of the entire spectacle.
