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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

        • Thanks
