I know it must be pretty old but has anybody ever read this before?

I would love to know who the author is.

I thought it was great.

I love it how Melbourne supporters are so easily offended by jokes and stereotypes.

Its not the stereotypes that get to me. Its when people say that Melbourne stand for nothing! Thats what F#@KS me off

what do we stand for?

our brand of footy?

the number of supporters?

number of premierships?

number of all-australians?

champions produced?

The [censored] take about R.Flower at the bottom infuriates me.

they take the [censored] out of all the clubs, its a joke joyce

I actually laughed. It's pretty funny.

If you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at? It's pretty much spot on. When the sport started, the club was for the rich people, up until the 60s. From the on in, the club lost its culture.

History?

Inaugrual team?

The ones who came up with the game?

Naah you're right. Nuthin' much there to get excited about...

I love Convict Creations. If you look at the other club profiles, he makes a pretty concerted effort to insult every team equally based on their prevailing public perception (e.g that Collingwood supporters are ferals, or that to barrack for Essendon is to throw your support behind a soulless corporation). They're all written with tongue firmly in cheek, but he still manages to give a pretty good account of the history of the clubs and the code in general. In fact the site in general is a great starting point for anyone curious about any given Australian sporting code, artistic movement, political party or whathaveyou- it has alot of brief, highly entertaining rundowns of pretty much anything having to do with Australian culture and history.

You have to read that article with a thick skin, basically, because he's pretty much taking the [censored].

It's good light hearted entertainment.

The morale of the story is never take seriously someone who can't spell the name Barassi.

Read this and you'll stop crying

Just had a look at the Freo one... cant stop PMSL!

Didn't upset me, didn't amuse me!

What amazes me is that people take the time to write this stuff, especially when it is so unoriginal, and that applies to the Collingwood one as well (though I did laugh at that one)
