Really wish they had an option to not have the pom pom on the top.

Azz, Azz you gotta have the pom! How else do we identify as typical Melbourne snowflakes! 

Nah but I do get it.

Layz, the issue is it doesn't sit right with my headphones on and as I catch public transport 4 days a week from Kilmore to the city this just will not do.

Hot tip. Don't cut it off, untie it.

The pom pom would be actually looped on as both the pom pom and beanie are a fully fashion knit, hence no stitching is used. If you cut it, you will inevitably cut the knit itself which will unravel the whole thing.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Are you here all week? Should I try the veal or the chicken tikka masala in the cafeteria? 😀

I hear ya. It is a pretty snug fitting beanie and I'm guessing you've got some nice over ear headphones, not the best mix for long duration commutes and comfort. 

Definitely give Jaded's untying trick a go!

Not a very snug fit on a undersized cranium like mine, but I will definitely be doing what jaded suggested with my big freeze 9 beanie

I never thought in my life I'd go to a game thread and read a whole suppository on beanie pom poms....

Interesting but perhaps not the right choice of word there, @Katrina Dee Fan!

My doctor once prescribed suppositories but, not only did they taste terrible, they did nothing and I may as well have stuck them up my backside.

You never considered it was an intended thing to reference the Rabbit Man? 

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!

They sell socks.  They don't have a pom pom.  Buy a pair of those and stick one of those on your head.

Then what will I do with the other one? Seems like a bit of a waste.

A hand puppet of course.  Some of the questions people ask.  Good grief.

I assume you will find a way to keep the other hand amused.  Or if it is such a bother, go and explain your concerns with Neil.  I am sure he will be keen to take time away from his MND fight to help with your 1st world pom pom debacle.

Wear whatever the heck you like.  Big freeze 9 beanie, big freeze 9 beanie sans pom pom, a sock on your head.  Just get behind this cause.  I have derailed this thread enough.  To repent I shall drop a bit of money at the following  https://fightmnd.org.au/big-freeze-9-homepage/

I was so looking forward to attending this game, however I have an emergency travel overseas to see my family in June. Oh well will try to somehow watch it live (does anyone know about a trusty VPN).

I’m in Luzon Philippines and use AFL.com

$44 month or $15 a week I think. 
I’ll be back for KB

This is such a fantastic achievement. I have a colleague that helps out with the Big Freeze organisation and I was quite sad to learn that this awful disease gets very little attention on the global scale.

That's a great effort.

Moreover I reckon it's been achieved by people who have been doing it tough in today's economy.

I guarantee it's not high fliers and Murdoch's handing over their easy earned.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
