I have an ad for ski insurance showing just underneath that first post. No kidding. 

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. 

Embrace it

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.

I remember a dichead doing a chat saying Tony. Yes Tony no.9 etc.

Sizzletown by Tony Martin is much more entertaining

Nice, a new mascot.  

I'm drawing ' a line in the snow'. !!!!!

I'm not putting up with these ' anti Deeees ' nonsensical, demeaning cliches any more !!!

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....

What's a newspaper?

Just saw an article about what a wonderful ruckman Marlion Pickett is!

Walkley award winner there!

I took one look at the headline and I couldn't stop laughing for at least 4 hours!!  

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. 

The kind of original and quality content one can expect when you make an illiterate drunkard your chief football writer.

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..
