Eating a pie at the footy

Except the ones that are too hot.

Being greedy and not waiting for it too cool down resulting in nibbling it and realising after its gone there was no enjoyment.

The price of beer is theft.

And the other Pies... Cwood fans.

Likes...the anticipation

The anticipation which is now accompanied with expectation.

The wins after both which we have experienced so many of recently.

Never been a better time to be a Dees supporter.

    Good.

    1. Aussie rules infiltrating rugby states.

    2. Essendon doing time for their many sins.

    3. Whipping it good in '21.

    Bad.

    1. Colonial stadium. 

    2. Calling Aussie rules 'AFL'.

    3. Teams 'VERSING' each-other.

    A fourth one: The AFL sc*****g-over S.A and W.A native competitions.

    The Good:

    Driving to the G, the anticipation walking through the park mingling with the fans from both sides

    Sitting in our usual seats surrounded by familiar friendly Dee supporters and eating a pie.

    Singing the song multiple times after a hard fought win or relaxing early in the game when we are on too early

    The Bad:

    Walking back to the car after a loss and hearing the opposition song being belted out.

    Rude drunken supporters acting like they won the game!!

    Not being able to watch the replay when we get home and reliving the what if’s fresh in your mind.

    I saw in one of the papers today that Round 1 of the NRL had total attendances about 25,000 below the combined total of Richmond v Carlton and Collingwood v Geelong. I know NRL crowds are always lower, that they have smaller grounds and I believe have excellent TV numbers...but wouldn't you rather be at the MCG with 50,000+ other fans watching an AFL game than anywhere else?

    Just one more...

    Best: Jeremy Howe flying for marks

    Worst: Jeremy Howe landing awkwardly.

    I hope he has a speedy recovery and can get back on the playing field. The game is so much better for his marking skill. Undoubtedly, the best exponent of not just the high, spectacular mark, but any form of marking that I've ever seen. And I've been watching for over 50 years.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
