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?

    I'm sure at Lathlain Park they have the more important task of complaining about their gameday thread and how negative everyone is in it.

    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?

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond.

On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
