I hope you reported that.

Look I'm a fair [censored] at the footy, but there are some things which are totally unacceptable. Racial abuse being one of those things.

I didnt, I was by myself, I thought of it but didnt really know where to go or who to tell?! The racist call towards Jurrah was said between the Richmond blokes behind me, but the call about Jim Stynes and the umpires was yelled out very loudly numerous times. I couldnt believe it.

I prob should have done something then and there, but unfortunately I didnt

Message the hotline. Seriously. There's no place for that [censored] at our wonderful game.

one of the richmond supporters ended up with my beer down his back after he stated some harsh comments about jimmy and his torrid time he is going through referencing him as a "cancerous slime" the worst thing i had ever heard in my life!

I was there with some of my family, and there were some feral Tiger supporters and their young kids behind us.

The game started with comments towards several Dees players, and all were ill informed comments.

I stated to my cousin that I would need to control myself today.

I decided to take a different approach and basically befriended the family, chatting as much as I could.

It was great cos by the end of the day I could tell they were annoyed but could ont say anything as I was so friendly too them.

I particularly loved their comments about Watts and how soft and favoured he is and how much they overrate their own players.

"He is Pettifer in a Melbourne jumper, he is crap. Mr chestmark!" - A feral from PRE talking about Brad Green.

Can't believe I never noticed the similarities, why wasn't he delisted years ago?

I've considered joining that bleeding website just so I can tell those idiots to pull their heads in. I know it won't change anything, but it'll make me feel a damn sight better.

I usually sit in the Trident section on Level 2, very civilized. On Saturday, I had to wait for my brother outside the ground before we entered. I have NEVER seen such a collection of ferals walk past me. It was so bad, that I sent my mate a text telling him I thought I was in the cells at the Dandenong Police Station. Have to admit though, that the Richmond supporters around us were quite decent.

All this whining about the character of another teams supporters (excepting the racial abuse and abuse of Jimmy which are both serious) is just encouraging the stereotype of us Melbourne supporters as precious, snobby etc. I just hope this forum is rarely read by outsiders.

In 13 years of going to the footy week in week out, I have never in my life been so disgusted by supporters' behaviour... and I've sat in the Port Adelaide cheer squad at AAMI Stadium before during a game where Melbourne won the free- kick count!!! :blink:

I'm all for loud, passionate, slightly psychotic supporters, but to freely scream out the C word multiple times during games when you are surrounded by little kids, and then abuse a man battling cancer, is not fair game and it is not OK. Absolutely shocking. Probably one rung below racial abuse.

You are far too worried about perceptions.

Our judgemental nature or our ease of congratulations for players coming to the bench.

Who gives a crap?

I guess I just don't like stereotypes in any form, but ah well the fact that I have been putting off writing an essay most of the day is probably making my posts a bit wayward.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
