Collingwood are known as the Magpies (shortened to 'Pies) because they wear black and white striped jerseys. It's the same name and reason that Newcastle United are known as the Magpies.

Not quite correct. Each team has a mascot name, as follows;

Hawthorn: The Hawks (aka the Mighty Fighting Hawks)
Geelong: The cats (turning into tabbies it seems)
Richmond: The Tigers
North Melbourne: The Kangaroos
St. Kilda: The Saints.
Essendon: The Bombers
Collingwood: The Magpies
Carlton: The Blues (aka the Navy Blues)
Melbourne: The Demons
Western Bulldogs: The Bulldogs (used to be known as Footscray)
Adelaide: The Crows
Port Adelaide: The Power
West Coast: The Eagles
Fremantle: The Dockers (Fremantle is a port city)
Sydney: The Swans
Greater Western Sydney: The Giants
Brisbane: The Bears
Gold Coast: The Suns

Actually Brisbane are now the Lions, and have been since they swallowed Fitzroy in the 1990's.

Showing my age! You are, of course, correct. They were, once upon a time, the Bears.

Actually, the vast majority of people selected Collingwood in this tip.

While I'm waiting for this afternoons matches to start, question of the week.

Which was the one VFL team never to win a premiership. The usual half eaten lollypop (you pay postage) as a prize.

The "Mighty FIGHTING Hawks"?

So that would explain them not being even the top 8 I'd guess?

Gawd help us when they cease fighting. :lol:

Legislation is being passed to change that to the - "Mighty FIGHTING Sparrows" to comply with the Trade Descriptions Act, and Truth In Advertising legislation.

Their ad agency has come up with this marketing concept image to try and strike fear into the few teams below them on the ladder.

Eric Casagrande · **Posted:** Sat May 19, 2012 13:33:11 pm

My guess would be Freemantle.

But I'll pass on the lollypop if I happen to be right. :lol:

Oh ... and by the way ....

Glen, eating your words yet? I noticed you picked Fremantle today. Well the "sparrows", as you call them, did only win by 10 goals I suppose. BTW, they are back in the 8 as well. 2 strikes in one posting.

They were over 30 points up 8 minutes into the final quarter.

BTW, my guess for the VFL team that never won a premiership would be poor old Fitzroy.

Let me say this ... if anyone paid for a ticket to the Dogs vs. GCFC match tonight, they ought to be screaming at the box office for a complete refund, about now.

Dogs 29 ... GCFC 21 .... two-thirds of the way through the 3rd quarter!

WB is 1.5 on six scoring chances this quarter.

GCFC is 0.0 with ONE scoring chance this quarter (kicked the ball out of bounds from nearly directly in front!)

Eric Casagrande · **Posted:** Sat May 19, 2012 23:28:21 pm

Western Bulldogs 72 ... defeated ... GCFC 34

Essendon 128 ... defeated .... Richmond 109

St Kilda won their one and only Grand Final (against Collingwood, and by one point

) in 1966. As I posted above, Phily got it right first try - University.
