Hey, over here in Adelaide, there are two clubs that drive you absolutely sick. Port and the Crows. No TV coverage for MFC, no articles in the daily paper, no radio commentary, no nuffin. Loathsome behaviours all of the time from supporters with at least 20 commentators counting every breath of every player in these two sides. They even think that they got a bargain with Watts, Toumpas and the profits from the Lever deal. Yep, hate Essendrug and Carlscum, but these two in proximity are unbearable. 

I absolutely get that. From my occasional forays into Church City, a short 5 minutes of listening to 5AA is enough to harden one against those two clubs forever.

(well .... for a while anyway.)

I can't imagine what a steady diet would do to one's mind.

Something like this, probably:

screamAPa.jpg?w=300&q=55&auto=format&usm

 

However, we must look at the big picture. Provincial difficulties must be risen above and the long range, objective view be held.

And that is, clearly, that a certain few clubs must never be given an inch. Must always be held in contempt if not with outright hatred.

In no particular order:

Carlton, Essendon, Collingwood, for reasons that are too obvious to need writing here.

Hawthorn, Geelong, Sydney also deserve no quarter.

Adelaide, Port Adelaide, as already discussed.

Richmond, for being Richmond.

St K, Footscray. For being contemptible losers, and Footscray even more for winning in '16 and breaking that stereotype. F***** losers.

North, same reason, but without the winning part.

GCS and GWS. "Vlad's folly". One for not winning enough and one for winning too much.

Freo for being anonymous and taking up space.

WCE and Brisbane, for beating us in the past. The f****** b******s.

That's all I can think of for now.

But no true supporter of Aussie Rules can go too far wrong following the above chart of who to hate.

How much hate, you ask, and how to apportion? As a rule of thumb, or when in doubt, remember this: too much is not enough.

GO DEMONS

The idea that so soon after such a massive scandal that brought the sport into disrepute, threatened to ruin 3 seasons, was found by the head WORLD anti- doping body to have been against the rules of world sport, that [censored] off, frustrated and bored the fans to no end and that may still have a large amount to play out with regard to the health of the players involved and their families long term, (let alone the impact on the integrity of the competition during the period doping players were aloud to play)... the idea that so soon after all of this the AFL would even consider letting Hird have ANY official role within the sport is beyond astounding, the fact it is a coaching position is just beyond stupid! What an immoral farce this league has become.

Have said from day 1 that the AFL is inept, especially with drugs in their sport. 

It seems they like to continually prove me right!

Hiya, Wilbur. Agreed about the bottle fermentation in Cooper's Beer. However, it is three times better if you make it yourself. Cooper's make a ripper series of home brew mixes; have not had a bad one yet. Some are exceptional, such as their APA, Stout and Real Ale.

However, I am probably talking to the converted so forgive me. 

The brews are fine to take to the 'footy' over here - meaning a few bottles slipped into the nearest Foxtel lounge when the Demons are playing on their telecast through Channel 504. Other than that, my home was Melbourne and I must admit, I miss it even after 18 years in Adelaide.

Hell of a drive to get to the footy at the MCG, though...

I assume that is rather tongue-in-cheek. 

If not, I would expect Peter Jackson to shut the idea down quick smart. 

I could not support a team with him at the club.   To me he is no better than the drug dealer on the street selling gear to young people.  They do it for money.  Hird selfishly used players, who were entrusted to his care, as guinea pigs for his own egotistical purposes.  Unforgivable in my book.

Anyway, he doesn't have much to offer - is in the 'great player/average coach' category. 

No thanks!  Keep him away from my club.

honestly, Hird should never be allowed any form of accreditation ever again, until he takes responsibility for what he did.

For what this is worth. I've recently returned from a trip to the Hilltops/Young/Mudgee wine producing areas of NSW. 

In Mudgee I stayed at a Motel run by an ex WA dude and we had a conversation about AFL footy. ( AFL footy is not big in Mudgee.)

It turned out he is the brother of a certain West Coast Eagle backman who played in the Worsfold era. One of the things he said was that the Whoosh was also called the Chemist. Yes, that was/is his profession.

He then said West Coast players were using drugs in that era. Not all of them, just most of them. He claims it was a well-known 'fact'.

He mentioned the usual suspects, the dead one and those still alive, including a surfing type who played a few games for the Demons in 1996.

He also said drugs were and are rife in the AFL. He said Essendon's biggest problem was they were caught.

For what it's worth...

 

But I am sure that the AFL integrity commission ??? had a good thorough look at it ????

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
