They are a lovely bunch of human beings. Wanted to boot Hinkley a few weeks ago and now love him again.

When I think of ferals I think of them.

They’re worse than Collingwood supporters, and Carlton, Essendon and Richmond supporters. Put it this way: I’ve only ever had a bottle of water thrown at my head from a car once. Yep, black and teal scarf hanging out the window flapping in the wind. All class. 🙄

    What a wonderful human BBB is. Humble, down to earth, family man, great clubman. I could go on and on. I shed a few tears when I watched him addressing the players yesterday.

    I remember when we drafted him, my son who is a North supporter said we would be lucky to get him out on the park and his body was shot then. So glad BBB proved him wrong.

    I am sure Ben will go on and do amazing things away from footy but hope he still stays involved with the club. ❤️💙

    That's disgusting. I've heard this before too. I only have the TV to show me insight but when they do pan onto fans they are ferals going off.

    My mate and his dad went to a Port game years ago and he said he feared for his life, real mob mentality apparently amongst their fans at their home games. Although, he's a Collingwood fan so some exemptions can be afforded 😁

    We went as a family in 2022, spent a week in Adelaide and overall it was a great experience.

    However, if I wasn't alreayd convinced South Australians hate Victorians I was convinced by the time we headed to the pub for dinner on night 1. 

    Then the game, I can remember vebatim the quotes from my 9 year old daughter, all before quarter time: 

    • Why are they saying those rude things about Gawny? 
    • What they saying Fritsch's hairtcut looks like? 
    • We don't use those words do we daddy? 
    • Dad, I don't feel very safe here!  

    She was very quiet after quarter time. 

    Silver lining, we won by plenty and we all got ice creams to celebrate 😊

    It is such a shame that BBB couldn’t play more games for us, i know he tried everything. 
     

    He was such an accurate shot at Goal from Long Range. 


    Just imagine keeping your mindset right whilst those Port Ferals were hurling absolute Filth at him…and then kicking truly from 50 on the Boundary.

    Add your superlatives here...

     

    (p.s. I hope ANB gets the same treatment from the Club and here on 'Land, next week. He's capable of response at BBB's level, too. Look forward to it.)

    Had to treat myself to "the best 17 minutes in the club's history" (BT)

    From Q3 09:38 and Viney's attack and Harmesy's clearance to Fritta, Frittas next, BBB kicking his 2nd, Brayshaw's mark and goal to hit the lead...

    Then later on BBB on the wing, busting a contest, winning the free kick, and kick I50 with 58 seconds to go in 3rd... we kick 3 goals in that 58 seconds, opened the last with 2 in a minute and the game is ours - there were many moments in ❤️💙🏆'21  -  but that BBB contest precipitated the onslaught that brought home the flag!

    Love BBB ❤️💙🏆

    This video is a downright disgrace.

    Get the sound right FFS, media department.

    I'm a film producer and I tell you, if this was delivered to me, I'd be on the phone and demanding someone do better.

    Come on, this is an important media package and you've [censored] stuffed it.

    Not [censored] good enough, Gary Pert.

    This is what happens when you cut budgets.

    Wonder if it's the YT copyright muting some of the sound. 
    The same vid of Xitter has sound.

    Three goals in a winning GF team. A pretty good peg to hang your hat on.

    Real strange, YT don't usually mute sections of videos that are copyrighted, they usually just take them down and issue desist requests.

    Doss anyone have an email address for the marketing and comms department? I've got a good idea for music for a potential tribute video on Fri. Not a joke BTW

    noticed the sound issues last night on YT too - very odd

    It's not good enough. It's a short video. Give it a watch after you've uploaded.

    It's going out on your socials and impacts on the overall football club's brand.

    I can only think that something different happens with YT's compression to audio when it was uploaded there. Possibly stricter parameters than Insta/the website etc.

    I do know for a fact that if the audio and video track aren't exactly the same length as each other it completely stuffs up the audio sync on YT.

    As you said though, always test.

    He was a very good Mark and very accurate Kicking Style, he should be remembered for a lot more than just his Run up. ( know you are joking)
    His mind is still in the game…

    I think he will make a great Coach in Future

    If he had a “ normal “ run up would he not have worn out his knees so soon? 🙄🤗

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
