it was one of many in that time.  I still have in my deepest darkest memories being teased by my grandfather in the aftermath of the 87 prelim.  I was staying at my grandparents' house in Camberwell while my parents were in Queensland, and as soon as the game ended, I did the whole dramatic thing of running off to my mother's childhood bedroom, closing the door and throwing myself violently on the bed in full wail mode.  I could hear Pa laughing at me and Grandma telling him off like he was a school bully.  I was 16, it's the first time I remember crying over a football game.  Growing up a Melbourne supporter in the 80s with Hawthorn supporting relatives is not all it's cracked up to be :)

Not sure it was cracked up to be anything....🤣

I went with a Fitzroy-supporting mate.  He was driving.  We had to stay until the end.  :wacko:

Before my time, but the most interesting fact about that loss was that we actually won the next week. Imagine losing by 32 goals and then winning the next week.

Haha yeah, I always feel like an embarrassing loss starts you in the negative handicap the next week 😛

I agree with you. However, just to clarify, is the Lewis incident with Viney directly related to vilification in that specific match? 

Yes I'm not sure and should clarify, I'm not insinuating it was.

I’m an Irish Catholic by birth and I hate West Coast more than I hate Glasgow Rangers.

Supporters are absolute 1 eyed filth, who have been used to an armchair media ride and matters getting swept under the carpet since their inception.

Any negative media is just thought to be the Victorian media making up stories

Disagree, firstly WC is interstate, secondly all the above mentioned that's wrong with them and lastly it's WC. I don't care what player has been traded to them, they are and always will be worse then Essendon.

Au contraire Monsieur KikA!

Essendon are the lowest of low. WCE are merely scum.

Or even before that, Chris Lewis biting Todd Viney. And them still defending it.  I have a long memory.  In so many ways it was far worse than their defending Andrew Gaff's punching Andrew Brayshaw.  It's why I don't understand why some Demonlanders hate Freo more than West Coast - WCE supporters are the Collingwood of the west.  I think it's why it hurt when Hunt went to WCE. 

One of my "prouder" moments came off the back of that dog Lewis biting Todd Viney.

On the return outing at Waverley I was sitting with the cheer squad and was just giving it to Lewis ALL day.
I was loud & obnoxious (& I think I was even getting on the nerves of my fellow cheer squad members) UNTIL Lewis finally 'bit' back (pun intended) and shouted at me to "shut the f&*$ up".
It's still the only time I have gotten a verbal reaction from a player, but the crowd erupted, I was elevated from annoying to legend, and the whole cheer squad gave it to him for the rest of the day.
Ah, good times  🤣

Not one of my prouder moments from the early 90s in the cheer squad was (not involving West Coast) we playing Geelong at the MCG, and every time Ablett went near us we'd sing the 131166 Pizza Hut Delivery ad to him.  He must have found that really annoying.

Here are some things these delightful people said on reddit a couple of days ago:

  • Melbourne were dog[censored] in 2019 after we demolished them in the 2018 prelim
     
  • God what a [censored] day that was, was almost as good as winning the grand final. I just remember all the media saying Melbourne were the favourites, they were so desperate for it to be melbournes year and for us, the team predicted to not even make finals, to absolutely blow them out of the water was just chefs kiss
     
  • It was also made more delicious by them wanting to be able to beam in video of Melbourne supporters to negate our home crowd advantage. In retrospect I kind of wish they went ahead with it

 

Geez I've felt a bit sorry for them after the weekend and now, if I didn't suffer from a horrible bout of MFCSS, I'd be lacing up my dancing shoes and heading to the cemetery to dance on some graves.

Hi Pennant. If we win at Parkheid on Sunday can we go back to the top of your hate list? 

Jokes aside, where do you place Freo? Are they perhaps the Partick Thistle of WA?

Ha ha nothing will replace them

I played some reserve matches for the Jags in the early 90s, I don’t mind Freo fans, there’s a few feral ones but overall they’re made up of South and East Freo diehards who have some footy knowledge.

They have been for the most part belted by the big brother and the media for the most part so I have no issue with them really

You played for the Jags! Was the legendary John Lambie managing them at the time? Or Chic Charnley playing for them?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
