    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.

     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. 😏

    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

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
