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.

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

I jump on the Upfield line every week!

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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
