I attend most games and would rate Richmond supporters the worst. In my experience they are far worse than Collingwood.

On Sunday I noticed that when the umpires entered the arena they were loudly booed by Richmond. I was a bit surprised and to my recollection this does not happen with other teams. Can someone correct me here if I am wrong. I just haven't noticed it before.

If I am correct, then the majority of their supporters have a fixation that the umpires will be biased against them even before the game starts.

No wonder i call Richmond supporters feral.

lol yeah they were pretty funny yesterday. Me n Deanox had a pretty irrational bloke behind us yesterday...

One thing I noticed in particular was their supporters yelling "baaaaaaallll!" everytime a tackle was laid haha.

I think for them it is the whole "the harder you tackle them, the more likely the umpire is to pay it" mentality, rather than what the rule book suggests... :lol:

There's nothing I hate more than idiots screaming 'baaaaallll!!!' after a player correctly disposes the footy while being tackled.

Great point you just said I was thinking exactly same thing at Telstra dome I even mentioned to some melb supporters there worse then the scum Collingwood

Every time a melb player grabbed the footy as soon as they got tackled they called ball even with no prior opportunity and they belevie it was holding the ball because there so stupid

they need check the rule books and go back to streets of Richmond they are pathetic. They bagged us on sunday casue were on bottom of the ladder but we are in rebuilding phase we will get nautinui and all our young players get experince this year we will rise up ladder next while they still pick wrong players in draft.

There main players are all old richo brown simmo johnson it will be quite funny when they are on bottom of ladder in next 2 years but wont get number one pick casue of gold coast hahahaha

Go dees

Was lucky enough to be wedged between 2 reasonably cool tiges fans this weekend but I have always rated them worse than Pies. last yr I sat in front of a classic looking loud, large and somewhat toothless wench and her equally feral bloke yelling at Picket every time he got the ball the he was an f`n drunk. Strangely enough they were both wasted!

No Pies are the worst.

But Richmond are not far behind. The incident that sums up Tiger supporters is one day about 25 years ago I sat near the Punt Rd Goal with a Tigers mate when MFC played Richmond and Richmond absolutely thumped MFC by at least 14 goals and doubled our score. We were outclassed and made to look ordinary. At the final siren did the Richmond faithful cheer their lads up the Punt Rd race? No they waited until the umpires were coming off the ground up the same race and they let loose with all their energy and bile on how they had been dudded on the day. Remarkable scenes like filming of Planet of the Apes. However you can easily identify a Tigers supporter as their bottom jaw tends to jut out a little bit and they find "Wheel of Fortune" challenging......

I find the Saints supporters the worst now.

Ten years ago Tiger supporters were worst, then they slunk away.

Magpie supporters seem to not support their ferals as warmly as they once did.

Nationally, Adelaide supporters are worst and always will be.

Agree - noticed some unsavoury looking Tigs fans outside the ground but, to be honest, all of their supporters in our area were good humoured and friendly with the Dee fans. They even managed to maintain this when we were on top in the first qtr and when we came back in the second half. They didn't even get that upset with the umpiring that was definitely in our favour.

I guess they have got used to being crap and having to turn up each week for many years for little reward. At least they have Richo who is by far the most entertaining player in the comp IMO.

PRF thats exactly the same as what is was around us. the apparently had no concept of what they were shouting for.

JJC i thought we got a few more free kicks than them, but also noticed a hell of a lot of ours seemed to be paid as frees to advantage, i would to see stats for that. but when discussing the umpiring after, i couldnt really think of more than one or two incidents where richmond could have gotten an extra free kick. while the free kick count was slightly lopsided did the umpires actually miss many?

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
