AFL Friend or Foe


ElDiablo14

Recommended Posts

Foes:

Essendon: Their supporters were insufferable in the early '00's, Kevin Sheedy (their long time coach) has looked down on us ever since he tried out for us 50 odd years ago and we have been on the end of some monumental smashings at their hands

Hawthorn: The home for all our former soft cork supporters in the 70's who couldn't hack the hard times. A bunch of entitled funkwits with the most hubristic and grating president in the AFL since Fat Eddie McGuire was forced to step down

Geelong: This is a result of recent history. They pantsed us in '11 by 186 points. Andrew Mackie once pretended to fall asleep during the team song after they beat us in 2011. We finally got over them last year and it felt great.

Friends (if you wish to call them that):

Sydney: I have a lot of respect for that club as the bloke who was the instigator of our climb back to respectability and ultimately success was the same man: Paul Roos. Honest as the day is long, consistent and humble.

I would have included the Doggies but they probably wouldn't appreciate that after the GF. Apparently there is a bit of enmity between the two teams so this is no longer the case.

Nothing worse than fair weather supporters.

I hope we smash the Hawks for years to come!

It was James Kelly wasn't it?

I have always enjoyed defeating Collingwood more than any other team and probably always will.  In a blanket finish for second most disliked, I'd nominate Essendon, Carlton, Geelong, Richmond and Hawthorn.  It's probably no coincidence that these teams have won multiple flags and regularly belted us over the years.

I swear one day in the future I’m gonna be saying, “but your honour, don’t you see? I had to kill him… he was an Essendon supporter.”

Sure sure WCW, but tell us what you REALLY think. 😃
 

p.s. only MFC games I won’t go to are ‘versus Essendon’. Too feral for me.

When I was a kid my older brothers took me to the footy every single Saturday, except for games at Windy Hill. They said they didn’t want me to end up psychologically scarred. Yet they took me to Victoria Park 🤷‍♂️

I get why people hate Collingwood on here. Our shared history throughout the 50’s and 60’s dictates that as do our supporter demographics and club origins (MFC being an offshoot of the MCC which is an offshoot of the Melbourne Club vs Collingwood being the club being born in the place where everyone’s sewage flowed down to).

But I’ve always found their supporters to be more authentic human beings than those Essendon head wobblers. 

When they won their flags in ‘90 and ‘10, I wasn’t overly upset. I was happy that a lot of their punters got a day of happiness.

Also remember that for all of Collingwood’s history of racism and their reputation of being the lumpenproletariat of the VFL (and they both exist), Essendon is skinhead territory.

That should say A LOT.

Well Richmond is fast becoming the number one foe after last night.

I have read ludicrous comments from their mob. They may be primed for multiple flags because their defence stopped us😂😂😂.

Entitled as it comes, just like Essendon or Carlton.

In time all those clubs will have to respect us after we dominated the next 5 years 😎

I was at the match last night on my own and happened to sit next to a young guy who was also there on his own. We had instant rapport (mother/son type). We were loving the Dees and bagging the crap outta the Tiges. And laughing like mofos. We had beers during the match and we even had a cigarette together outside at halftime. At full-time he says “We may run into each other again sometime.” I says, “I guess that’s possible since we’re both Demons supporters.” To my utter shock and horror, he says, “oh, I don’t go for the Demons. I just got a free ticket for this match. Yeah nah, I’ll be back here tomorrow to watch my team play. I barrack for the Bombers.”
😳

Ugh and to think I touched his lighter *shudder* 

When I got home I burned my clothes then rocked back n forth hugging my knees for a couple of hours. 
 

🤔 should’ve known something was amiss when at one point he referred to Langers as Ed LangFORD.

I wouldn’t get too worked up over the Tiges fans. Their hubris is born of ineloquence and presumptuous thinking (compared to Hawthorn and Essendon who have a nasty dose of smugness).

Plus, Richmond supporters behavior when they are down is genuine comedic fodder. I urge you to familiarize yourself with the legendary Mario from Doncaster (though it’s been intimated he is in actuality a Melbourne supporter).

Edit: Let’s not forget this nugget as well from 2001.

I google-translated ‘Lumpen’ and it is German for ‘rags’ which in this context I think it’s the same as ‘ragtag’ (?)

Some of the comments from those flogs last night “enjoy another 50 year wait for your next flag” (laughs like a lunatic, has 4 teeth missing, hasn’t washed his hair or beard in 6 months, spills half his Jimmy and coke all over himself and some poor random kid stuck 3 seats up from him).

I think my passion for hating other teams revolves more around their supporters. 
So in no particular order.  

First tier hate list- 

Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, Richmond West Coat, Port - all very self explanatory 

GWS, ( this being an exception- call it the Toby Greene factor - do they have supporters?)

Second tier- Hawthorn , Geelong, Adelaide, 

Tolerate - Footscray (Could be soon due for a promotion to second tier hate list), Brisbane, Sydney, Gold Coast, St Kilda (used to feel sorry for)

Feel Sorry for- North , Freo (because they have to put up with West Coast supporters )

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0
