I've been watching most games this weekend - and texting mates along the way when their teams are playing - and I've realised what a pr*** I've become. I've dreamed of being in this situation.

To my Carlton friend: I think you guys have something this year, you might make the 8 if things go well. Good on you.

To my St Kilda & Essendon friends: It's only round one, don't stress too much. I'm sure you'll win a few games.

To my Collingwood friend: Maybe you guys won't finish bottom four. You're looking like a 9-12 side!

To my Hawthorn friend: Impressive given your outs. I think you guys are building something (this text was given with particular glee)

To my North friend: Looks like you guys nailed a no1 pick with Horne-Francis, you need one or two more high picks though, so don't worry too much about this year.

I could get used to this.

 

 

Don't worry, I too have been telling my mates how [censored] their teams are.

I'm arrogant AF now.

Fortunate to have good teeth (as apposed to my picture) and when catching up with friends my smile says it all even if I accentuate it just that bit longer. My message is received loud & clear.

 

My family (Crows fans) thought I had gone a tad to far with enjoying our flag and plodding other clubs that I copped the famous quote from Top Gun:

"Son, Your Ego Is Writing Checks Your Body Can't Cash"

I don't say too much externally, but my friends and family are getting sick of the smug look on my face that seems to express the following: "I-don't-care-about-too-much-at-all- cos-Dees-are-premiers-and-the-rest-of-you-are-absolute-sh**". 

And might I suggest it is a very, very satisfying smugness. 


I don't have a hell of a lot of people in my life who care about footy. Most of them are co-workers, and one is our COO, who barracks for Richmond but has a fair few Melbourne connections. I always keep it very civil with him as you can expect!

These are all nice things.

The go here is to regularly ask him about how the tigers are going.

Key is feigning a sincere interes, that is indistinguishable from smugness, in his responses. 


All of my friends are either Carlton or Collingwood. I'd say the ****talking between mates has been pretty steady vs past years but I'm not as prickish. But in talking with other supporters at work, my opinion definitely has more "weight" now. When I tell people I go for Melbourne it's normally met with a, "Ahhh ok" vs the old "LOL you go for Melbourne your opinion is worthless" that I used to get. I definitely enjoy getting stuck into Essendon supporters though. But there's more respect there now from Carlton and Collingwood supporters so I've toned it down a tad.

I love it even more when other clubs aspire to be like us..

I just ask a couple of my Bulldog supporting friends "are you sick of Petracca yet?" 😄


My West Coast following brother in law who always used to boast about his team and sometimes mocked us refuses to talk footy with me since our premiership. Gives me the silent treatment. Not even a well done or congratulations. He hast mentioned football at all at our catch-ups since the GF. I can talk to his sons about the footy but he just totally ignores the topic and stays out of the conversation.

Txt to my cousin who barracks for Geelong

You guys were good. Could even finish 2nd this year.

 

Brother in law is a cocky cats fan.

 I just sent him a pic of Max.

Other than telling them we're winning the next 3 I don't say that much.
When they start frothing at the mouth I laugh at 'em from the mountain top.

I did ask my Carlton supporting acquaintance who was  pretty excited if he's booked in for his  "Blues 2022  Rd1" tattoo though.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
