Was at Schwartzy's pub in the GF wake in 2000. 2 things I remember vividly 

 

1. The bar tab ran while Neil Daniher was at the bar and he had pay for a round of about 10 drinks. 5 seconds later Schwartz had restarted the tab.

 

2. Danners was that dirty with the tactics of targeting our kids (Brad Green very lucky he can actually speak and troy Simmons amazingly still has his head attached!) - He made it very clear that he would never step foot in Windy Hill again. (was a tad disappointed when the danners brothers all got back together for a bombers game - actually felt a bit sick by it. )

You might end up turning into a Collingwood supporter. I’d advise against it.

I had thought of this also, but realised I'd still be the smartest filth supporter in the entire world.

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!

I had you fooled then. 😂

Although, before joining Demonland I was quite a well-adjusted human. Now I’m a maladjusted human just like pretty much everyone else here. 🙃😑😝

PS: when playing against that repugnant team of grubs it’s not just a game!

Most hated team.  Their supporters, who always seemed to number more than necessary whilst growing up during the 80s and 90s, were smug and nasty.  We havent given them a proper smashing in decades.  This is the time. Their tails are slightly up, there's a glimmer of belief that this season and their team might be ok.  I hope we belt them by 15 goals in biblical rain.

Along with Hawthorn supporters, Essendon have some of the most arrogant and I actually can't stand many supporters of these teams more so than Collingwood.

The Kevin Sheedy is the GOAT of coaches you'd get from your average Essendon supporter back in the day, and probably even still now is both sickening and crindgewothy.

Most Essendon supporters I know now are fairly sedated and resigned to the fact that thier current team are fairly average to below par, which puts me in a very happy place.  Hopefully they'll eventually get to a position of despiration and despair that they will ever have a competitive team again, if they aren't actually already there.

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. 

Are you sure you're okay?

That Michael Long incident was far worse than the Neil Sache- Kevin 0Keefe incident back in 1974 which left Sache a paraplegic. There was no intent by Okeefe whereas that piece of trash Long had 100% intent. I cant remember the dees player name but it was a miracle he didnt snap his neck.  Melbourne should have fought back and played dirty but they didnt. We're not like Hawthorn thats why we never won flags.

Troy simmonds.

They were thugs that day. Completely unnecessary too as they were the better side (ew).

 

But this incident is why they should have red cards like they do in suburban footy. Theres nothing to stop a team just going filthy on grand final day, getting a win due to 2 or 3 injured opponents and then having the first month off the next year - but who cares cos you've got the cup already.

It will happen again and when it does send offs will be introduced.

Not my finest hour, but I admit my mind drifted to such tactics in the long nervous lead-up to the GF in 2021. It was my over-riding memory of how Essendon won in 2000 (i.e., beat up our kids). Now, of course, I realise they were always going to win, which only made their tactics more reprehensible. And in a less desperate state of mind, I'm very glad we didn't resort to that in '21...although I know Viney for one was keen on a first bounce 'statement'.

At the very least, Grand Final suspensions should be triple points, like double points for driving offenses on public holidays.

Ironically, it was the opposite. Long got 4 matches of which 3 were served through the preseason. Wallis got 3 weeks and was playing round 1, 2001. 

Long would be getting 12 weeks for that now.  Iirc, he apologised at the time but it wasnt accepted by Simmonds.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
