I popped back into the big footy link.

we are called ‘shemons supporters’.  Lots of comments about how insufferable we are, we don’t have a home base, tanking and the failed merger.  Oh, we overlooked Dusty twice.  Smashing these flogs would be particularly enjoyable......

    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.

    See now the way to fix them up is beat them this week then ensure they don’t win the GF let alone make it. Dees tigers prelim.

    it was a big mistake allowing them to use our ground as their home ground

    so much for charity

    they barely got going in the fourth as well if not for Dusty. He pretty much led every single charge forward. you could see it coming though. by the end of the third we were running on fumes. and if I remember correctly many of their goals in the last came on the run out of our forward line. 

    just found it funny that this week some of their supporters are calling us the weakest 5-0 side ever. They were gifted a dream run to start the year in 2017, faced teams on a short break and played Carlton, Brisbane and Collingwood, who finished 16th, 18th and 13th respectively that year. Then JUST overran a Melbourne team with no rucks and 1 player on the bench. Moral being that regardless of who you beat, if you string a good run of wins together at any point of the season you're setting yourself up for success. which is exactly as they did. I hope their complacency this week turns into a wakeup call. All good things must come to an end. A changing of the guard must start this weekend.

    Then got belted by the Crows in round 6 by almost 80 points before going on a run of losses (4 losses in a row).

    Speaking of Richmond supporters, does Mario from Doncaster still do the rounds on SEN? They were more appealing when their fans mostly had his mindset. :pj:

    What the [censored] does 'shemons' even mean?  

      Tiger supporters are as bad as Collingwoods, if not worse.  The kind of mouth breathing scum that would write an angry email to the Department of Home Affairs demanding that Dustin Martins daddy be allowed back in the country as they cry over their keyboards

    How is it I remember the times Richmond supporters seem to have forgotten?

    The tin rattling for the Save Our Skins campaign when they were dead broke and an endangered species.

    The delivery of chook manure by disgruntled fans.

    The returning of membership cards or the burning of them when another unsuccessful season was unfolding.

    Ah, yes, those were the days. Richmond supporters should not forget where they came from and be a bit more humble.

    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.

    That call he made comparing his lot as a Tiges supporter to Jacquie Kennedy post the JFK shooting is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. Wonder if he still has the petrol station.

    Or Whorethorn, Essendrug or Filth. I find all these names disturbingly juvenile and unbecoming a supporter base I like to think of as more sophisticated than the average.

    It's a deadset guarantee that if we have a run of success, our supporters will overnight become arrogant, entitled and insufferable. I for one look very much forward to seeing that happen.

    I also dislike these nicknames.  But I make an exception for Essendon.  The other names have no real proven basis and so are pretty silly, but not so with Essendon.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
