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.

    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
