    It's about as funny as when I tore a right lateral knee ligament on my fourth day on the slopes at La Plagne one year.

    From a snow demons fandom site, whatever that means..

     

    A snow demon, a large cat-like creature with thick white fur and covered in horns and spikes, usually hunts in The Miln Mountains, but comes down to the lowlands at winter.

    They are so scarce that many inhabitants of Fort Miln, including Cob used to believe they were mere legends. However, in the events of The Great Bazaar and Other Stories, Arlen Bales kills a snow demon by carving a heat ward out of his own blood on the snow demon's chest, and melting it, making it his first coreling kill.

    I try to enjoy the Coodabeens Saturday morning. I like to think ive got a fairly thick skin but every reference - even the ok ones- to us includes "well done number 9" and they always crack up as if it is as fresh as ever. Been hearing it for 30 years now I reckon. I now dont turn the other cheek but turn to Off the Record on 3RRR which is a great Sat morning show. So... skins not that thick.

    The Hasbeens act has been tired for more than a decade. Even Hey Hey It's Saturday got put out to pasture when it reached its use-by date, but the Hasbeens keep getting airtime to run the exact same jokes they did 20 years ago.

    The HUN has always been the unofficial rag of the Filth and Essendrug.  Take ZERO notice of the clap trap put out.

    And if that isn't convincing enough for you just remember who their chief football writer is....

    Brilliantly original stuff from the Hun sports writers! Or should I say the Huns comedy writers? hahaha bravo!

    With quick barbs like this, maybe you should write for the sun

    Look if we are copping this crap it means we are winning. I just laugh it off now. My friend made a joke the other week about the snow and I said yeah and I secretly live in toorak and mentioned how I saw a collingwood supporter at the snow once and mentioned how did they afford to go there. 

    I didn't go to a private school, don't have a beach house, don't drive a range rover and probably the only mcc member that has been on centrelink although all be it not for long. 

    What gets me is when commentators make jokes that are the ones who live in Toorak and drive the nice cars.

    It is only a joke, though repeated, it is good to be able to laugh at ourselves

    I think it is much better stereotype than most of the other clubs.

    Means we are generally, financially stable and enjoy adventure.

    Humour based on classisms. One of the last bastions of politically incorrect statements allowed.

    The joke will never go, the cheese platter one is merely an addition.

    The best we can do it embrace it. I do in amongst the banter with colleagues and non-colleagues alike. If I'm the one to raise it, or elaborate on it in response, they've got nothing.

    I'd rather be the posh wealthy club full of toff than say a toothless and brainless collingwood or drug-doping essendon. These too will never go.

    But as above, a few premierships will make them subside.

    I was there when the cheese platter thing started, my mate brought the platter. Absolutely hilarious. Who gives a fig what any of these idiots think. Every club has these stereotypes and ours aren’t as bad as some.

    Read my post on What they are saying at Punt Road. So sick of this [censored]. 

    I and my family have never been to the feckkin snow. Ever.

    They think they are so funny. Well I'm over it. Corona robbed me of any sense of humour. This stereotype is like a form of bullying. They want us to stop calling bread with hundreds and thousands on it Fairy bread because it upsets some people, well I'm calling out this snow [censored].?

    You can blame the Coodabeens for this [censored].

    They started it 30 years ago and haven't come up with any new material since.

    TOTAL FLOGS.

    To be fair, as far as stereotypes go, we got it pretty good. Rich, educated, well travelled. It could be worse. 
    Will you ever stop thinking of Pies fans as toothless criminals? Because that’s a far worse stereotype to not be able to shake.

    I miss Channel 10 broadcasting footy as someone there always made sure the camera's focused on toothless supporters in shots after a goal. Perpetrate the myth I say.

    I worked as a reporter for the Herald Sun and left after being asked to coerce a source into saying a particular thing and recording it.

    I did it, asked the editor not to add my byline, went home and never returned.

    Is this what happened? Verbatim? Doesn't ring true; coerce is too big a word for a Herald Sun editor.

    Is it just me or can the next game not come around fast enough?

    Almost everything in between seems less interesting.

    i don't know why people take it so seriously.

    collectively we are seen as fickle supporters that jump ship and go to the snow instead of watch out team play.

    next time you hear someone crack a joke, ride it and fire back.

    "At least I can afford a snow trip. But I always make sure I'm back in time for the game. I even have a space up front for my Range Rover. How is Moe this time of year?"

    I agree

    SICK BURN!

    Have only ever been to the snow and and had a ski maybe a dozen times many years ago.

    Its too expensive and my knees aint up to it.

    But heaven forbid that people do. 

    How dare they enjoy our beautiful mountains, get some exercise and help maintain an important tourism industry.

    Next the media will lampoon the cheese eaters in the community.

    Oh wait..

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • 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.
