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: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    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

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
