Essendrug at Windy Hill were the worst i have come across

The Filth at Victoria Park were savage

Carlscum at Princess Park during the 70’s and 80’s were pure evil

the modern stadiums are tame in comparison, for good reason!!!

French Island Prison supporters were not very nice........i think it was because they couldn't drink after the Game!!

    I had a Primary School teacher who had previously worked at The French Island Jail. 

    He told some wild stories. Great Teacher

    To be fair a whole range of teams have large numbers of feral supporters:

    Collingwood

    Richmond

    North Melbourne

    Bulldogs

    Port

    Freo

    West Coast

    Essendon

    Adelaide

    That would be my list of feral supporter bases. 

    Hawks could be included too but they should be educated and civil and I hope they may evolve one day. 

    Every team has feral supporters. I'd classify the type of feral like this:

    Refined feral (likely to have a wine and some cheese pre-game, and criticise someone's earning capacity)

    Melbourne

    Adelaide

    Fitzroy/Brisbane

     

    Self-important feral (thinks they're better placed in society than they actually are)

    North Melbourne

    Port

     

    Working class, and weirdly humble feral (will abuse you but then apologise and say, "Nah you're alright you're my second favourite team")

    Bulldogs

     

    Living in stolen cars feral (can be found at your local Magistrates Court)

    St Kilda

     

    CFMEU-brand and high vis-wearing feral (will abuse you simply for existing)

    Collingwood

     

    Calls-in-sick-every-Monday feral (drinks. a lot.)

    Richmond

     

    Loves smell of own farts feral (came from money and lives in a nice suburb but lives paycheck to paycheck)

    Hawthorn

    Essendon

     

    Doesn't-realise-they're-feral feral (thinks drinking an espresso at Brunetti makes them better than you)

    Carlton

     

    Isolated feral (confused when they visit Melbourne and shops are still open past 4pm)

    West Coast

    Freo

     

    Academic feral (unnecessarily wears reading glasses)

    Sydney

     

    Racist, smells like cow dung, entire wardrobe from K-Mart feral

    Geelong

    Arguably the post of the year @praha 

    Ah..  footy, it's a passion, for some a fashion, whilst others just give you a lashin'

    Will say with Geelong that it is a mixed bag @praha

    If you are from Newtown, Wandana Heights, Queenscliff (who remain outside the Geelong City Council so they don't have to pay for Shellshocked Stadium) or Point Lonsdale, that stereotype doesn't come close to prevailing. They are more the Sam Newman Geelong College style bully type Geelong supporter.

    Your stereotype is a combination of what you would get if you combined your Cats fan from Norlane, Corio or Breakwater (the K-Mart and racism bit) with your fan from Lethbridge, Fyansford, Winchelsea or Inverleigh (the smelling of cow dung bit).

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
