1999 Collingwood v Brisbane, r.22. Last match at Victoria Park

[@odeliagardens]

this was also the first time ever that a Saturday afternoon game held in Melbourne apart from the Grand Final was telecast live in Melbourne.

[@jakubwidlarz]

How often were Friday and Saturday Night games shown live into Melbourne then

[@odeliagardens]

in the 1990s Friday night games were shown on a one hour delay. Saturday night games were live if the match was held outside Victoria.

@@odeliagardens because of ticket sales + crowd attendance concerns in Melbourne, Saturday night games either @ Waverley or @ the g is delayed for vic viewers.

LIVE FOREVER VICCY PARK X

[@JdogLAC]

Played here for junior footy today and kicked 2 goals from the mid. First goal of the game. Huge ground for under 14s but lovely surface and a great win.

[@AlonsoRules]

That's probably the only time you will ever hear a team sing their song after losing a game and rightly so.

[@MRHenHen]

The only other time then this was when Fitzroy played it’s last 2 games in the AFL in 1996

[@extraverse]

Thanks, John. Too young to have been to an AFL game at VP, sadly (went to a number of games at the G while we still had tenancy at VP, but I guess the interstate match-ups weren't attractive to my family). Although I did have the pleasure of participating in multiple junior member clinics on the ground so I've kicked plenty of snags on the hallowed turf, even got a look at the famous Darren Millane Boxing Ring when the venue was still being used as the club's training base. We definitely grew out of it as a club but part of me yearns to see even a pre-season AFL game there. I'd pay hundreds.

Very sad day. Always disappoints me that we completely abandoned Victoria Park, even as a training facility. Makes me envious seeing the likes of Carlton, Richmond, North Melbourne, Western Bulldogs and St Kilda all re-develop and retain their traditional grounds as their training bases, but we gave up on ours too easily.

As a 16yo Im quite sad I never got to experience a full house at Vic Park. Hope that one day they bring it back.

[@EddieMunstar87]

The-OG-Blobfish I’m 30, I got to experience it as a child, it was special. Nothing quite like having a ground you can call your own. walking to the ground was special, watching people stream in, filling up the grand stands, sitting on old wooden seats, or standing up on the grassed section behind the goals. So close to the ground you could smell the grass/dirt, and then Singing the club anthem at the start of the game, cheering the players on. Time were more simple then, wasn’t all about money. You went week in week out because you loved the jumper. Watch daicos and tony Shaw, Rocca kick a big goal, and Now you pay $30 and sit on the top deck of the G, where you feel so disconnected. Oh well, go pies.

[@planetx1595]

Way to rub it in Eddie.

Love the suburban grounds, AFL what were they thinking in moving away 🤔🤔🤔 look at the English Premier League, how many teams are playing in 100 year old stadiums.. not for forgetting the divisions below the EPL.

[@FORTISIAKING]

[@travisfrost5175]

The last time Collingwood wore their proper jumper before Eddie changed it to clash with heaps of other clubs. And what a shame about the advertising flashing over the crowd. Looks ridiculous

[@woodsmen9844]

I wish we'd revert back to the pre-2001 jumper. Such a great looking jumper, particularly in conjunction with the black shorts. Never been a fan of the "white stripes on black" design, which has been our home jumper since 2001.

[@parigoodproductions7207]

I know Carlton said they are renovating Princes Park to host home games for them so hopefully Collingwood follow suit

[@chrisfi3d]

Yeah they have been saying that for years and all they got was AFLW games there. After this failed 2020 season, the money will be reduced even more

[@MisterPolitical1]

Victoria park (magpies) is better than arden st (north Melbourne), windy hill (bombers), Moorabbin oval (saints), lake oval (south Melbourne), Glenferrie oval (hawks), whitten oval (Bulldogs) & Brunswick st oval (fitzroy lions), apart from princes park (blues) & punt rd oval (tigers).
