Yes, I got that comment thrown at me on the TIO ground immediately after the game in Darwin of all places, and from a North Melb supporter - go figure!

He also asked me how the snow was in Buller, and I said, "I don't effing know, I'm here in Darwin supporting the Dees, having made the trip from North Melb, where I live!"

I mentioned to him smugly the Roy Morgan research paper (about how loyal Dees' supporters are), then casually had a shot for goal from Jayden's flank outside 50 with my daughter's ball and popped it straight through the middle. (Ok, it was 30 metres out, but on a similar angle.) 

He gave me a modicum of respect after that.

Nice work Ben E

North will be living near the South Pole soon. 

They will have a year round view of the snow soon, not just the odd week as it is now.

Don't bother trying to get anything from the Woolworths Deli in Niddrie on Grand Final Day wearing a Melbourne jumper if we are playing Essendon.

Thats what I tried doing in 2000 and the chick behind the counter refused to serve me.

It's funny, but I have gone from the guy at work who follows that "irrelevant team" to the guy at work who follows that "thug team".

All of a sudden we look the goods, and everyone f'ing hates us!

I love it! I don't care where I am or am not welcome, I'm wearing my teams colours with pride.

F' em all!

Vic park was the worst of the grounds. I remember going there with a couple of collinwood mates as a guest in the stand behind the nothern end goals. Luckily they were playing I think Sth Melb but the crowd was a disgrace. Spitting on the opposition coach was something I saw which blew me away. I think the last time we played there we won and they were on top of the ladder ( 94?) and I left very qiuckly with my scarf tied under my jumper.

T he next worse was Windy Hill. Full of essenscum supporters who were a stage above Richmond barrackers because they could pronounce the letter F.

I used to quite like Vicious Park. Either flank at the Yarra Falls end where good to watch footy from. Best to stop all fluid intake in the lead-up or wear gumboots as the dunnies were a disgrace. Managed a couple of souvenirs after we handed them the spoon in '76. A bent nose and a black eye - badges of honour I thought.

Windy Hill had no redeeming features whatsoever.Shitehole full of goat rooting Essendon fans

I'm talking the Preston-Reservoir-Thomastown-Lalor quad of dead. Carlton bandwagon heartland.

They should knock Southland down and put it there. Win win.

I could walk to the games! Bloody great idea!

The next time someone jokes about going to the snow, the simplest way to respond is to highlight the expense of the trip. As soon as you admit it and say something along the lines of, "At least I can afford to go to the snow..." they tend to shut up.

I would not be able to contain myself. I know a couple of eagle supporters here and I thought Geelong and Hawthorn supporters were smug.

They're only smug when their team is up and about, probably the worst of all supporters. They're quick to shut up and not care about footy when their team isn't doing so well. 

I wore my Melbourne jumper to work the Monday after our win and kept kicking the footy over my head through a doorway.

Nowhere.

[censored] everyone else. They follow the game WE invented, and they are invited guests to OUR competition, played on OUR ground.

EVERYONE else is a bandwagoner.

I lived in Preston/Reservoir for 12 years...it's more Collingwood heartland.

25 years for me. Definitely Collingwood territory in my youth. The Magpie curse bit my mother and sister mainly because of the close ties between the Preston Bullants and Collingwood. Haven't been to Preston in many years and can't envisage ever doing so.  I'm sure it's very different now though.

I never had any trouble whenever I went to games and still don't.  I wear my MFC gear, barrack loudly, hang sheet on the opposition, abuse opposition fans and all without any incident. 

Maybe because I'm 198cm and 110kgs, have a broken nose and a big, ugly moustache. Or maybe it's because I'm just a really good bloke!

The final before the grand final in 2000. As I was leaving the the game as a brown skinned 20 year old, I  got abused by a north supporter. I bluffed and and challenged him to a fight. He was shocked, and he apologised. Thanks Jeff Farmer for inspising me.

It's changed a lot since I bought my first house in Preston in 2002 - hipster central nowadays and for the most part a good area....but I'm sure you're referring to an earlier time.

Best decision I ever made buying my first place there.

Agreed we may be outnumbered by the Collingwoods and Essendons but the MFC has good support in the North.

Linton Street. Circa 1981. The old man drove and parked a block away & we arrived late, midway through first quarter. Nobody on the outside of stands at big asphalt ramp entry - except for 4 guys who had another poor blighter sandwiched into a cyclone wire fence turned on itself - as if it were a giant waffle maker. They were smashing glass bottles over him.

Only danger nowadays is burning your tongue on a hot jam donut.

I'll never forget the 1st time my old man took me to Vic park as a young fella.
Walked up to the turnstyles past a row of retarded folk in black and white wheel chairs and was told to "Fork off Melbourne." by them.
Just jaw dropping stuff for a wide eyed kid but a fitting introduction to the locals.

Sounds like Thursdays looking for out of work young ladies for you and Uncle Bitters?

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
