hi ya mate here are my answers I hope this helps with ya Assignment

How important was the win

Well to me it was important to burry what they called the colliwobbles. Being brought up in a mad Collingwood family I was taught about all the Granny Loses in win over the years. So it was good to win the Big one in 1990 coz I dont think we could have managed another broken hearts ( I mean another Loss)

the Moment that sticks in my mind the most

This has to be at half time sitting between my parents at the g knowing about all our G/F loses and asking my parents if we're going to win! lol

I remember the final siren when Pants threw the ball up into the air and Gavin Brown getting knocked out oh and Dougy Barwick throwing his arms in the air after his goel

How long did the clelbratiuons lasted for

Well Since I was only 9 years old I didnt go back to the club that night but my brother did as he was 18, My bro brought something of Essendon and he burnt it and he remembers there was huge cheers as it went up in flames. Mum and dasd took me down the next day where it was still going off. I remember the huge crowd and we sat in out than seats in the sherrin Stand (behind the C/S) watching everything that was going on on the stage

any other info

How important was the 1990 premiership to Collingwood at the time?

Put it this way,it lifted the monkey off Collingwood and it's supporters backs. I even lost my chip that I had on my shoulder.

What is the moment that most sticks in your mind from the game?

The looks on all the faces of all the Collingwood supporters , half way through the last quarter. They couldn't believe it was happening! Our mind set up until then was " we always lose"

How long did you party for afterwards?

My brother and I lapped it up. We went to Vic Park that night and then Sunday. We didn't have a drink because we wanted to remember everything.It's pretty hard to take when you lose every single time......and then all of a sudden, Wow! We actually won a premiership!!

Do you think the unparalleled jubilation that followed the win played a part Collingwood’s fall from grace over the next decade? Was there more to it?

The newspapers said that Collingwood would dominate the decade. Don't believe what you read! There was no hunger and I think the playing group at the time,thought they had done their job. Believe me,I'm not complaning. But they were definately in their comfort zones.

Also if you could detail some brief details about yourself. ie. first name, age etc.

Yeah , my name is Will, I'm now a very old man of 42. I've been to the 1980, 1990 & 2002 grand finals.

How important was the 1990 premiership to Collingwood at the time?

I think at the time it was very important, 32 year drought and many runner ups, The colliwobbles needed to die eventually

What is the moment that most sticks in your mind from the game?

Mick McGuane kicks the ball to Darren Millane inside essondons 50, The commentater says: Darren Millane marks with a broken thumb, he will feel no pain tonight, this will probably be the last kick of the day. The siren sounds before he even gets a chance to kick it, he throws the ball into the air, it sends shivers down my spine and tears to my eyes evey time, Millane is sadly missed.

How long did you party for afterwards?
after the game we went to vic park, i was not even 3 at the time so i only vaugly remember, probably until i was put to bed!

Do you think the unparalleled jubilation that followed the win played a part Collingwood’s fall from grace over the next decade? Was there more to it? I think it was maybe a bit of a premiership hangover, and the death of Millane also, then players got older and wernt retiring or finishing and just got too old.

Also if you could detail some brief details about yourself. ie. first name, age etc. My names Bec and i'm 15 years old
