Its been about the love, Its been about the kids, Its been about the appreciation of following the greatest club on the planet. However the job's not done yet until the mighty Pies snare a Premiership. Here at joffasfrontpage we reckon 2010 will be the year. Floreat Pica. In this Pic: Taylah Jade Petrusma 5 years old wears the Gold Jacket at the Collingwood night at the Bendigo Greyhounds in 2009. Worth noting Collingwood is the only AFL club to have such an event. From a fan who has the Gold Jacket Game Over tatooed on his body. We'll meet up soon and get some pics together.
The oldest pic i have of the original ' Eddie McGuire ' Gold Jacket. We have now had 3 Gold Jackets in the 10 years.. My good mate Justin emailed this to me and reckons if i was a southpark character thats what i'd look like!
2001-2005 The Eddie McGuire Gold Jacket. 2006-2009 The Game Over Gold Jacket. 2010 The tenth anniversary Premiership Gold Jacket. Cheers to my good Collingwood mate Eddie. Who wore the original gold jacket on the footy show all them years ago...And no it's not true he rings me during the final quarter telling me it's gold jacket time, believe it or not, thats the most popular question at every shopping centre in Melbourne, And he hasn't really ticked me off about the gold jacket..some time ago he advised not to crow too early..where were you eddie on ANZAC Day 2009? Without wanting to sound as though im pissing in ed's back pocket, The gold jacket has been a huge chapter in my little world. Thanks Ed!
The Visit to the UK
Just recently returned from overseas and was suprised how well known the Gold Jacket was with Aussies living in the UK. The new 2010 Tenth Anniversary Premiership Gold Jacket was a gift sent by a Londoner who took pity at the condition of the Game Over gold jacket. Bring on season 2010. I have also purchased a devine Gold Sequin top hat which will only be used against my dear friends from The Melbourne MCC Members Stand and the out of control riff raff at Optus Oval. Floreat Pica.
If anyone has some old Pics or even a yarn concerning the Gold Jacket please email me joffacorfe@hotmail.com We'll publish them on this page.
Guess who turns 10 ? The Gold Jacket will be 10 years old in 2010. Thanks to a Collingwood supporter living in the UK we now have a brand new sparkling gold jacket to celebrate it's 10th anniversary. The new gold jacket will also have the Epilepsy Foundation of Victoria Logo to promote epilepsy awareness. With the Collingwood emblem and Game Over on the back with a special 10th anniversary patch. It's my belief the gold jacket will at long last celebrate a Collingwood Premiership in it's 10th season! The journey with the gold jacket over the last 10 years has been an amazing story. The story is about to become bigger, If you have any stories or photographs from the past concerning the gold jacket please email usjoffacorfe@hotmail.com
