Exactly my question. I was trying to think which Bank at Clifton Hill/ Fairfield Nth had been pinched,

and then i thought he might have just saved it up for this particular killing day.

Point of order. I suspect you mean Clifton Hill/Fitzroy Nth. 

Sorry ... it's my hood.

tbh I found Pies supporters to be quite tame yesterday. comparative to what we're used to. they seemed quite humbled and accepting of the kids. almost praising. seems they kind of expected that one.

I found them tame after the game...You guys should have won by more etc etc. You know what after the past few years of Pie supporters giving me a hard time  (Your GF, the only team that you didnt beat in 2021 etc) I don't need their empathy... 

A lot of anti Filth sentiment on this thread.  Two of my best mates are pies supporters and very knowledgeable about the game.  I went to the game with one on Monday and was telling him that I hoped his feral mates would behave. He just smiled and said, “you know it’s not fair that all pie’s supporters are tainted.  It’s 99% that give the other 1% a bad name!”

 

I had a colleague Pies supporter at one of my previous employers. Would always get stuck into me about Range Rover driving, ‘off to snow’ Dees supporter.

You wouldn’t believe the look on my face when he was showing me his new car on his phone that he bought when he made partner and how he took it for a spin up to his holiday home in Bright.

Your colleague is bluffing.  He showed a forged university degree to get the job he had, used a stolen phone to show you a pic of his stolen car and this holiday home he speaks of is somewhere called Barwon Prison


On the way home on the train I could really feel the hate from one Collingwood supporter. I loved it!

How dare he talk about our @dworship like that! 😂

I'll have you know I was enjoying my cheese board and Merlot. Besides, I said I was LOUD not inarticulate. I have also been known to be quite gracious when speaking to opposition supporters. Some of them appear perplexed when I tell them I'm working on my sincerity.

They probably don't want to get kicked out their first year in the hallowed domain. Bit different to the outer at Vic Park, which had its advantages.

Hope it was a loooong train ride and they had to sit there with you for most of the journey. A little smirk every now and them would keep them ticking over. Haha I promised myself not to have a go at Collingwood when we won BUT I just cannot help myself. Ingrained since birth a long time ago.

99% of 100,000 odd members is a lot! 

Last year after the game and I queued for the toilets behind the cheer squad bay, I had Collingwood supporters jumping, yelling, one jumped in my face "Go home, Dees!" and I felt like saying to him, "We are home, it's been our home since 1858", but I didn't. Just wasn't in the mood.

This year, totally different affair.  Queued for the toilet, and engaged in a very pleasant conversation with a Pies supporter in front of me who said, "you guys deserved to win that". We discussed who could play each other in the finals and agreed it would be cool if it was Melbourne and Collingwood.  Afterwards she said to me, "Thank you for being so nice, we don't often get that."

I had the AFL app open and was discussing with my daughter how the stats all showed it was actually a 6 goal win to us.  Collingwood supporters seemed unappreciative of this education.


When arriving at the Tippler before the game we were taken to our booth and there were 3 Collingwood guys sitting at the table next to us. As I approached one of them moved his scarf off the seat and said something like "I don't want you touching my stuff" to which the rest of the table did one of those cringy, old timer, 'jolly good show' laughs. Obviously I replied that I didn't want to touch his stuff either. 

You have to admire it in a way though, the world hates their guts and they still manage to think that their excrement comes out in the form of a diamond.

Is it near Far Kew? 

There’s no need for that good sir. 
 

the good people of Kew would have you believe they are nowhere near the northern suburbs. But they are much closer than they would like to be

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. 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.
