It's not meant to be "SheRmons" supporters, as in Sherman tanks is it? 

Or the sherrimons, who own the sherrin football.

I would have guessed, they call us the lemons

i can assure everyone that the collingwood football club over more than a century of abominable behaviour has well and truly earned the platitude of "the filth"

Prefer collywoobles, as a description of their finals loses.

Hawks supporters are not all that unlike Melbourne supporters (as much as some here may hate to admit it). Very similar demographics, up and about when they're doing well but very quiet otherwise. Tigers supporters have always been nauseating: if not for their hyperventilation when they were crap then for their "GOAT" rhetoric post-flags. Theyll never let anyone live down this four year stretch. And if they win it this year well then god help us all because they may well be the GOAT.

Win 5 flags in 6 years, and 6 flags in 10 years, like we did* then they can frigging talk.

* when my father was a toddler.

They were a joke even half way through 2017. That loss on the siren to Freo, the media went them, and rightly so, for their soft underbelly. That same team has now won 3 flags. It can turn quickly.

The great Geelong side were similarly flakey and unreliable in early 2007 and we know what happened after that.

Given where we've been for almost 60 years, I would be very surprised if the vast majority of Melbourne people weren't humble if we went on a similar run.

To be humble, I think, is one of the more important traits in life and in sport. It sounds like Richmond supporters have little of this, and for a club that failed to make the finals for almost 20 years and then when they eventually did get there, choked at the first asking, is pretty rich I reckon.

I will be humble ( I can hear some of you sniggering in the background) if the ultimate prize becomes ours, but as I said to a Hawthorn supporter this week; " I look forward to being hated".

In the late 60's early 70's a close relative of mine was the Tiger President's PA in a company at which he worked.  In those days club presidents all had day jobs, unlike the well-heeled types today. (Post Ray Dunn as background)

He was the lovliest of men, polite , kind and courteous. Except on Monday mornings when the Tiges had won and he was unbearable. Although my relative wasn't a Tiges fan, he provided free Grand Final tickets for that family every year.

They have a long and proud history of this behaviour so don't be surprised. Its just a fine tradition.

Yeah I have the misfortune of some friends and work acquaintances who are tigers supporters. Some who I never knew were supporters until a few years ago. Now I get one text a year, after Anzac eve with some smug comments. Oh how I long for them to be crap again so their fans can go back to be miserable!

Tiges supporters at my work are relaxed and feeling confident we won't handle the pressure Saturday night.

All I can do is shrug and say "We'll see"....

In the lead up to the big games, i always download the oppositions app to get their interviews etc... might be a harsh critic but our media department can do better.. i know dusty has had more highlights/success... but have a look at the 9 minute video they have for him. It is creative and good media.. we have an article (atm) that goes through year by year on Jones' journey to 300 games. Should be able to turn this into a video i would have thought.

It probably helps when your media department has more $ to work with.  High quality productions can cost money.

Have a look at the difference in income/expenses between the MFC and Tigers about half way down this article: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-04-22/how-afl-survived-a-big-hit-from-covid-19-coronavirus-football/100083470

Yeah, there's a couple tiger supporters at work that I respect beacuase they've been mad Tiges as long as I can remember.
There are a few that have popped up out've the woodwork over the last few years.
Funnily enough, they're the ones with the mouths.

I also remember going around to the neighbours place to watch the footy a couple years ago.
His mate turns up and declares he's a mad tiger and will probably get loud etc.
Anyway we're watching the game with this fool carrying on and I asked him "Who's that bloke number ..... (whatever it was)"
He goes .... "Ahhh .... I don't know the names of the players."

Well shut the fork up then cork head.

Obviously they didnt apply much pressure in the two games theyve lost so far.

Of course Melb can beat Richmond but we cant afford any pedestrians.

Im only worried about one player. Hes lucky to be in the side. He better not stink it up.

You dont win games playing on emotions.

You are probably an "alias" poster, but for the record; yes you do win games playing on emotion but IMHO it's not luck Jones is in the side but great management. Fools don't understand how belief and trust can elevate a group to greatness and on this particular weekend I would think there is a synergy within the team and an understanding of "sacrifice".

[Dwight Schrute 16,751]

I personally think we've won the first 5 rounds without really digging deep or getting out of first gear. if we can play somewhere near our best against the Tigers it should be a cracking game. 

Honestly just want to see us take it right up to them, even if we lose we have a chance to prove to ourselves we can amtch it with teams like this.

Speaking of Rance, I have it on very good authority he will be playing a couple of games for Swan Ath here in WA this year. Not sure of the rounds but early on apparently. 
Two games for big $$$ for an ammo’s club but supposedly there will be news crews and all sorts there...

Swan Valley McQueen is who he’s playing for, with another ex Guildford Grammar, Swan Districts and ex AFL player David Ellard.

Although their two grounds are about 200m apart

win 3 out of 4 flags you've earnt the right to be a little cocky

there is nothing to suggest we will do more than compete with them for 3 quarters.

A little cocky?!?! Geelong were a little cocky after 3 flags in 5 years. Hawthorn were a little cocky after their threepeat, as were Brisbane. No, Richmond are more than a little cocky. They’re positively nauseating. They are belligerent and conceited and sadly I think beating them tomoz won’t change a thing. They were unbearable in the late 60’s and early 70’s and it took a 38-year drought to bring them back to earth.
