Haha You are one strange lady WCW (notice I didn’t revert to calling you demented this time). Imagine if by some catastrophe we manage to lose. You’ll be sitting in the car with your DA mates driving all the way back from Adelaide with an extra couple of hundred $ in your account - and wondering if it will be wise to tell your car mates this news. They might leave on the side of the highway - Reach pledge or not. I certainly would! 

Nah ! Stick with demented Neil,  it is le mot juste !!!

I’m struggling to read past this bit. I’m in shock. That’s the nicest thing you’ve ever called me!

As for my DA buddies leaving me on the side of the highway… would never happen. At least I hope not. Incidentally, Pauline Fritsch might be joining us on the road trip. If that’s the case we’ll have a ball, win or lose. She’s almost as demented as me.

Personally I prefer Deranged. Or unhinged. Thanks.

Haha bloody predictive text! It’s a typo WCW, sorry, it won’t happen again.

Can't say I've ever heard Weid described as a 'match winner" before.

I'll second that! Match loser is more apt. Repeatedly.

God another typo - you were never demented - always “seriously deranged”. Sorry again.

Absolutely no surprise there. Essendon fans are THE WORST of all. I hate everything about that club. Everything! I hate them almost as much as I love the Dees.  But you know what I hate the most about them? I hate that they evoke such a feeling of intense hatred, the likes of which I’ve never experienced before. I didn’t think I’d ever be capable of such a level of hate. It’s a lot of hate for one small person to feel. GOD HOW I HATE THEM. 

ok .i get it you are not fond of essendon

Up till now WCW, I thought by Demonland standards you were quite a well adjusted human! We'll win by six goals but it's just for the record it's only a game!

DON’T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN!!!

I’m enraged at the mere mention of that club. I can hear myself one day in the future saying, “But Your Honour, I had to kill him, he was an Essendon supporter!”

A reminder of how much I hate Essendon: every week I place a bet AGAINST the Dees, regardless of the odds (which I don’t really understand anyways). My reason is because if we win, fantastic! But if we lose, the $ cushions the blow a little. It’s only ever a $10-$20 bet… except for when it’s vs Essendon. Last year, round three, I lost $100 but skipped home from the ‘G happy as a pig in [censored]. I’ve put $100 on them again for this week. And the car trip home from Adelaide will be so sweet despite me being $100 poorer. THAT’S how much I detest this pack of uncultured cretins.

PS a few shock losses have resulted in decent “wins.” When this happens I make a donation to Reach (forever in my heart, Jimmy 💕). It turns dirty money into clean. 

Hahahs i also put money on the team we are playing against. I've also got $5 on each of the other 17 clubs to win the flag. At this point if we can't win it, go the saints lol

Thank you @WalkingCivilWar you have revived my god damned hatred of that football club.

This is a deep seated hatred that goes back as far as my football memory goes (mid 80s) - my most hated side ever.... it has unfortunately waned with them being pathetic and all, which has left Colonwood out in front of hatred. But if they ever even remotely come good again.... it will return. I'm sure there are multiple records on here of me venting about my hatred for that God awful club. I miss my pure unadulterated hatred of Essington 

Was at Windy Hill as a 12 or so year old for the bloodbath game with Strawbs O'Dwyer having his beautiful face rearranged. F*****g Hirdy pulling out 2 goals from his [censored] in the dying minute to beat us by a point or so in 99 or 2000 or whenever 

The desire to completely obliterate that football runs deep - and doesn't even include the drugs garbage... 

Bloody Ferals

One great comeback

You really are a one eyed supporter if you reckon Strawbs had a beautiful face.

Calm down WCW, before you do yourself a mischief.

Bummers were irrelevant to me until year 2000.

• They won the grand final pumped on steroids (I will always maintain this, with their "weights program" and/or "physique development" looking impossible and dodgy)
• They bashed a group of brilliant young Dees players out of the game

My despising of them went instantly to 11 on the dial, and has never abated. Leapfrogged Carlton and Collingwood. 

And then the jaw-dropping hubris during the drugs scandal headed by the most arrogant coach to ever grace our game - James Hird - moved my dial to 12.

I love seeing them struggling. I would prefer them finish position 13-15 each year so they are never wooden spooners so can't get the best young players, and therefore remain mediocre and irrelevant. 

 

Having a parent and sibling barrack for an opposing team, for me, makes it very difficult to share all of your hatred for Essendon, as I have stated they are third in my team order. First obviously the Dees, 2nd Brisbane (I'm ex Fitzroy originally) 3rd the Don's. Funny thing is I love it when we beat them 🤪.

My Essendon loving mother and sister are to blame for this weakness, growing up with the Essendon games on the TV, after my team at the time had been merged, embedded something in me that cannot be removed short of a lobotomy. I tried very much during the peptides saga (which to this day they both still deny they did anything wrong) and all I could feel was their hurt, stupid empathy.

Collingwood is and will always be my most hated team. I know way to many "supporters" that are so quick to tell you how good they are when they are winning but you do not hear a thing from them when they're losing or it's "oh I haven't been watching this year are they doing badly?"

So there you have it, fire at will I, cannot change it.

I wish I could embrace my hatred for them like you do. I’d love to enjoy hating them. It’s difficult to hate them with every fibre of my being as well as hating the hating of them. It just makes me hate them even more. If that’s even possible.

I would if I knew my love for the dees would stay ❤️💙 but me thinks it would disappear along with my superior intellect 🤓

Today I read this thread while sitting next to my Essendon supporting coworker 😇

I also unearthed two Demon supporters and added them to the Demon work chat.  Productive day all up!

Silently given I was in a team meeting and shouldn't have been on my phone anyway 😁

(FWIW, I contributed to the presentation so I wasn't a complete [censored] of a coworker)
