Caro is like a bottle of A2 milk from 2010, it went rotten a decade ago.

Summed it up perfectly. I caught her interview with Kate Rothey on the radio before QB game. She tried to trip her up with " tough" questions on the leaked texts and May incident. Kate swatted her questions away like flies. It was embarrassing for Caro

Hashtag nothing’s off limits when it comes to those mouth-breathing bottom-feeders.

What really IS disgusting is that only HALF our cheer squad booed them off. 
What were the other half doing???? 🤨

Pretty sure we booed the Bombers fans quite a bit this year too, mostly because they spent the whole game booing every umpiring decision. 

it was kinda funny on Monday when all their supporters cheered for that smarmy little sh*t Ginnivan when his mug showed up on the screen at the start of the game, and our mob started booing the pies supporters for being knobs 😂

separate and related question… when we came out onto the ground, I was in the middle of M3, but I felt like there was background noise.. did the toothless ones boo us then?

They most certainly did.
And there was an abundance of they of the missing teeth to the immediate left and right of M3. They were many and they were loud. And they did that stupid “USA” chant.

I don’t know again if I’m being biased, but I think that a little different. I’m not saying it’s good, and the fans shouldn’t have done that, but booing a fantastic player who’s being singled out for being fantastic seems particularly vindictive. 

They also boo’d him during the game because he pushed one of their players off our guys and then got shoved hard for it. Oliver isn’t liked by any oppo fans though, admired as a player but he gets regularly boo’d for no good reason. 

The only people who boo Oliver are morons.
Problem was the "G" was full of morons on monday.

Maybe I’ve got rose tinted glasses but I can’t see the Melbourne fans booing a player for being named BOG. Oliver was an absolute freak on Monday, similar to Max the other week he alone almost dragged us over. 

Pies fans really are a special breed of filth. 

I actually had a nuftie Collingwood supporter try to convince me on social media that it was actually Melbourne fans booing Oliver.  WTF???  

But you're right, they are a special breed of filth.

I don't boo at the football.  I choose not to lower myself to nuftie level. And yes, I'm a member of the cheer squad.  We're better than those idiots.

Again, it’s Essendon. E-S-S-E-N-D-O-N. All manner of etiquette flies out the window when it’s them. 😁

And besides, when the opposition are lining up for a set shot at the other end of the ground, our main cheer guys boo them like there’s no tomoz. And if it’s good enough for them, it’s good enough for this lil nuftie. 😉

I don't care who it is.  We show them we're better than them by not lowering to their standards.  I don't boo at the football.  And no, the cheer squad don't boo when they're lining up for a goal, we make noises and wave flags and floggers to try to distract.

It's often struck me that all cheer squads just wave randomly which I suspect is easier for the player kicking to ignore.  If all the flags etc were still and suddenly moved in a coordinated way just before the player lowered their eyes to kick the ball I suspect it would have more effect.

Yeah, when it’s up our end we defs wave banners and flags etc. to distract an opposition player taking his set shot.  But when it’s up the other end, ie, the goals behind which we are not, we don’t distract coz why would we when we’re at the other end of the ground, and said player has his back to us? It’s in this scenario that 100% there’s booing coming from our cheer squad. Granted, not everyone. But every single time, the four guys who lead the cheer definitely boo. They sit in the second row and I sit in the third. So either they boo, or I need to get a hearing check. 😆

You don’t boo, and that’s fine. That’s your prerogative. Likewise with those who do boo. It’s their choice. And like it or not, there’s booing from our cheer squad every single match. 😊

I asked an OG flogger about this just the other day. Apparently they used to employ this tactic. Especially with the large floggers, where they’d wave them side to side in a sort of figure 8 fashion. Just as the player lowered his eyes they’d immediately start waving them up and down. They don’t do this now since they came to the conclusion that it doesn’t make a difference. 

As for the huge flags, just to wave them without taking anyone’s eye out is plenty. 😁

Thanks.  Re the figure of 8,  I suspect that sudden movement after total stillness might be more distracting than just changing the direction of movement.

Yeah, they know what they’re doing. They’ve been doing it for an eternity. And clearly doing it very well since (I was told on Monday) the Demon Army have won Best AFL Cheer Squad four out of the last five years. ❤️💙

I do have a bottle of Robbie Flower Port, that is probably undrinkable now, after so many years adorning the bar.

I also have the same as well as a Shane  Woewodin from 2000.

I also have both, i was going to crack them during the GF, but i was warned not to!!!!

Go to Aldi,  get a bottle of Keepers Port about $5   open them all and do a taste test.  If the top is still tight on the Melbourne bottles they will be fine, but an interesting test,   something to do over the weekend.

No she didn’t and obviously won’t.

She is also still harping on about the May and Melksham incident, like a dog with a bone.

So no brown eyes as the oppo is lining up in front of goal then?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
