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

Not where I went to school...all Carlton!

Anywhere on Richmond station after the Dees defeat the Pies. Thank God for those PSO's.

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

Try to " give back " to the community and all one gets is resentment and suspicion .

Thoroughly justified in this case as you noted.

Number 1 on the list has to be the North Melbourne big footy forum. I was just there. I feel decidedly duller for having read some of that drivel. The vitriol they spew is staggering when you consider their miserable history of low achievement. 

Bomberblitz ( or whatever they call themselves now ) just as bad. Perhaps a higher average IQ.

I went once to Victoria Park and stood in front of the Social club watching the dees salute. That was tough as I dared not open my usually big mouth. I had to pretend to be upset at the result.

Linton street, Moorabbin was dangerous in the old days, not so much because of the footy but because my siblings and I used to steal half empty lemonade bottles from between the feet of the Saints fans in the outer to take them to the milk bar for the refunds. We made a fortune from it( we were good )

Are you sure it was lemonade? The amenities at Moranbin were deplorable.

Well, we never drank it. We tipped it out as we ran. We were 9 kids in the family so it was dog eat dog but we didnt stoop to drinking the contents of the bottle.

I used to collect bottles as well. Lived near flats in St Kilda where it was a gold mine.

I would stack them in the back yard awaiting refunds.

When the price of return jumped from 10 cents to 20 it was like my portfolio doubled.

Bought my first skateboard with the proceeds.

Went to Vic Park as a 7 year old in 92 to see the dees win. Was an amazing experience. Stood on the Gary Ablett terrace in 2015 at Kardinia. Got a bit testy when my bro kept yelling out "you're an effing cheat Selwood". 

Would love to hear some stories of the old days at Windy Hill etc. Those grounds were being phased out as I started going to the footy - so I only went to Princes Park, Vic Park, Western Oval and Kardinia Park. Missed Moorabbin, Windy Hill and obviously Arden St. 

Incidentally, going to the see the Dees in Canberra on Sat week for my first interstate game.

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 agree 100%

at Vic Park Filth supporters threatened to punch on (mostly)

at Windy Hill Essendrug supporters in the outer Punched on. 

1987 and 1990 were rare moments in that shi!thole of a ground

Just outside the MCG after playing Richmond, win, lose or draw. The Richmond supporters are incredibly aggressive, loaded up with alcohol, rage and testosterone. And that's just the females. The male tiger supporters are more neanderthal than homo sapiens. 

After the ANZAC eve game this year was tough. Ended up avoiding Richmond station and getting am uber home.

Anywhere this year with some demons colours on. Apparently we are all bandwagoners and "coming out of the woodwork". 

I remember this happening back in 2000. So many people came and told me i was just on the bandwagon, despite having been in the cheersquad as early as the 1970s.......that apparently doesn't matter. But hey its all part of the ride and it just means we are really starting to get going......hang on...

Arggghhh, the 2000 GF. I remember lining up overnight to get a seat. 'Twas pissing down with rain, all huddled together in a ramshackle queue, slab of VB and fatalistic mutterings (that only Demons fans understand) to keep us company. I think a Bombers supporter had a tent - we may have appropriated it. 

For me, that and the '88 GF were bloody awful, like watching a train wreck two hours in the making. But they were nothing compared to the '87 prelim. That broke my heart. RIP Robbie.

I remember at the final against Carlton in 2000(during my gothic days) getting abused by some Carlton bogans for wearing PVC bondage pants. At the same time I was having a quiet chuckle at their tracky dacks.

A coal mine in Qld. nodoby cares about GAYFL.

Infuriating.

 

Vent please. faulty is waiting.............

Faulty, in my experience at CQ coal mines, it's actually pretty popular. Plenty of victorians and west australians there now.

And a lot of the locals get into all sports. Buggar all else to do and another excuse to drink i assume.

You were smart. My children and I shared a train carriage with a drunken Tigers Yobbo that aside from his incoherent yelling kept stepping on everyone's toes.

I caught a train at Richmond and on the train I spoke to a couple of reasonably coherent and personable Tigers fans who more or less conceded they got out of jail. So that was quite a shock to me.

(early 70s late 60s)  Go Dees   Give em HELL !!

    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. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    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.
