    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.

    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

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
