Either way, enjoy! 😎

 

Haha ball!.............crickets

For a club that is small and irrelevant, supporters of the "big" clubs sure do love beating us.

You just sense it's a bit of classism and fear of the elite being better than them. Richmond and Collingwood supporters I know can't STAND Melbourne. Which is weird becauae they keep talking about how irrelevant we are.

That could be a bad omen. Carlton once tried to rebrand themselves as the Cockatoos in the 1930's!

I suspect there's a cockkk or 2 down at Royal Parade.

Yep I get that too, especially Collingwood and Richmond - they say we're irrelevant but boy do they love beating the "toffs".

Carlton I can understand this past weekend because that was their season on the line - they get one last chance against the Pies this week.

I'm probably more disturbed by the fact you knew about this. Do you always stalk the losers?

Because back in the 50s and early 60s when I was at school Carlton was nearly outer suburbs and Collingwood was sacrilegious.

(I was not a participant or advocate of this being too young)

Given Carlton's proximity to the city, I find it hard to believe that Carlton was considered an outer suburb.

It might have been a distance from the leafy south east, but would have been closer to the CBD and the G than much of the south east.

This is speaking purely as someone who has lived in the south east his entire life.

It’s likely just a pipe dream, but I live in desperate hope that one day my son brings home a girl just like her. 😑

WASH YOUR DAMN MOUTH OUT, BOTH OF YOU!

 I once told him if he ever dated an Essendon supporter I wouldn’t speak to her. He said that’s a little harsh, isn’t it? I said on the contrary, that’s lenient, the bit*ch is lucky I don’t kill her. 😂
 

edit: @He de mon I’m joking, of course. I wouldn’t kill her.
I’d just maim her for life. 😏

Haha, love it!

This was definitely the general sentiment at the ground too. 

Lots of noise until Melksham kicked his goal, then it was panic, then it was absolute crickets after Kozzy got the winner.    


Love her passion and feel her pain. That was me when Tuohy kicked that goal after the siren.  Max delivered the antidote last year.

I will never forget that game. I was in China for work. We were meant to be back for the game but got stuck there thanks to a typhoon. I was in my hotel room watching this game on the world's worst Wifi and VPN. It kept cutting out, and I remember it froze as he was lining up for goal.

2 seconds later I get a text from my dad.... "I f*ing hate Geelong".

I cried.

Better than standing on the Gary Ablett terrace directly in line with the kick!

I don’t get to do it often, but when appropriate I remind the ‘irrelevant’ accusers that the original rules of Australian footy are the “Rules of The Melbourne Football Club”, which they can see displayed at the National Sports Museum. No MFC = no footy (a long bow, I know, but never fails to shut them up). We couldn’t be MORE relevant.

That was wild, and it was exactly the vibe in the Southern Stand. Anger, followed by utter silence, and then some punching happened.

It’s hard for us to understand it in the context of how good Melksham and Kozzie were, but that was also one of the almightiest chokes in AFL history. Playing for finals. 7 points up with 2 minutes to play. 

I love that it happened to their horrible, whiny, entitled supporters. Their players are actually much more likeable than their supporters. They deserve to stay out in the cold for longer until they learn some manners.

The truth is that if not for the utter bungling incompetence of the Carlton Football Club on 5 occasions in the last 2 minutes then we lose that match. 

  1. Melky outmarks 3 Carlton defenders, all taller than him.  
  2. Newnes drops a simple uncontested mark when Viney over kicks it inside 50
  3. Owies miskicks a 15m uncontested backwards pass to "Woof" and it bounces short
  4. Saad's kick down the line to a Carlton 3 on 1 doesn't result in a Carlton mark
  5. Hunt's kick back down the line to a Carlton 3 on 1 doesn't result in a Carlton mark and in fact it hits Young in the head

Pickett goal!

I always run with "Melbourne invented football and built the MCG". The second claim is a longish bow but there's no space for reasonableness in footy arguments 😂

It's always good to educate people, I had a Richmond nuffie look at me in surprise once; they didn't even know that we were at the G before them! I said, "ah you're not aware of Punt Rd Oval??" Some people have no idea

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
