In our home my son and I are rabid Demon followers.

My other 1/2 is a C'wood tragic although she hates Malthouse, Cloke, Fraser and Johnson. She has pics on the laundry wall of Buckley, McKenna, Rose, etc plus a smaller replica of the 90 Premiership cup.

I have all my Dees stuff in the study including team of the century print, signed footies, mugs, scarves, caps, books, etc . When/if we beat the Pies I know I wont get fed that night, unless I get take away to bring home. She really cracks the sads.

Sometimes she does the same when they lose important games to other sides too, but I wont mind a bit if I have to buy take away this w/e. I really hate Eddiewood and his miserable cohorts.

Does anyone else have a partner or family member that causes grief in the home when their team misses out on a win?

Me

I too unfortunately have a Collingwood partner. I try to be supportive, but I really struggle. She will never switch, but I'm adamant that should we ever have kids, they will be demons!

I have a wife who hates sport, and avoids me when sport is on.

I use to have a filth g/f but I made her come to all the Dee's games and she fell in love with Woey and I converted her!

Condemned 84, a job well done. Should be an award for conversions made!

Yeah it was a good job, I have no idea if she still follows Melbourne or has a soft spot for them etc.

Don't be mean Still Waiting, bring home some cold pizza for the lady !

My Mum cried back in the day when Collingwood lost a GF to Carlton.

Now she'd cry if they won one. Hates them with a passion.

A great conversion.

Wooww someone teach the me the ways of conversion

My girlfriend goes for the Collingwood but is not a fanatic. I am trying to convert her but she always says "Melbourne don't have any hot players"

Maybe we should forget about a tall forward and an elite midfielder and get some good looking studs?

There is your problem, see they turn for a good looking bloke, so hope we draft a good looker and then you buy them badges put up posters etc and pray they do a shot with their top off and they they are signed sealed and delivered.

Ahhh I see, Maybe the Dees should use Cale as the pin up boy? He would be ripped under that shirt of his

or not

Tis surely strange just how many of us have partners of the filthy persuasion ...lol.. Mine is...yep..Collingwood..in fact nearly her whole family is Collingwood.. I hold my own I shall have you know.. I buckle to no one.. well.. maybe the missus ..if.......

Should start by going to Queens birthday together and doing the MFC march, make it tradition.

Then buy her an MFC scarf.

I've bought about 10 this year and when a kids birthday party comes around, instint gift.

Next is MFC footy's.............

Got to plant the seeds.

My 2.5yo son came up to me tonight and said "I want to watch demons". Totally unprompted.

My ex-girlfriend barracked for Geelong. i converted her about 6 years ago. She still follows the dees. What a chump (but a nice chump)

Try telling your girlfriend about our..... "passionate legendery president" ( ex hot player) .... now that's something "NO OTHER" club has !!!. GO JIMMA

I have a wife who hates sport, and avoids me when sport is on.

Likewise.

My mother and one of my older brothers go for Collingwood. My poor 1 year old son doesn't know if he's supposed to say "go dees" or "go pies" when the football is on TV. My three year old just says the team of whoever she is trying to impress at the time.

I'm doing my best, but I'm severely outnumbered unfortunately.

Children can be quite like camelions in that way.

No. Marrying a Melbourne supporter was part of my strict selection criteria for choosing a wife. And she puts together a mean PowerPoint presentation.

Whoever pays the Bills wins. It's easy. Otherwise throw them out.
