60,000+ ppl on a cold Sunday afternoon vs an interstate side. No wonder the AFL love when Collingwood are up and about.

The post was made when the crows were well and truly being pumped and had only registered 1.7 to Collingwood’s lots. AT THE TIME it appeared a thumping of Adelaide was on the cards.

GO CROWS!!!!! To hell with how the outcome of this match affects our ladder position, I flatly refuse to barrack for Collingwood. Tex’s HUGE goal though. 🤌

Just a mum thing I guess. I’ve since found out he actually wasn’t fined. I’ve told her this but it seems the horse has already bolted and he’s copped a telling off already. Soz Bayley. 😬 All good, I’m sure there was some other reason for a good ‘talking to,’ there always is. 😂

Never mind the fine, Fritta has a bigger concern: I just spoke to his mum and the fine was news to her. He hadn’t told her, despite having been with her as recently as this morning. Be afraid, Fritta. Be very afraid 😂😂😂 Hell hath no fury like a Paulsy scorned. 😜

How’s that attractive game plan looking now? 😂

Isn’t cheering for the bombers part of the death ride, though? I’m confused.

Perilously close to a 186 point loss. A couple of misses just now will put the kybosh on that

If not for Jayden (🥺) I’d be relishing this thumping of West Coast.

Of course he wouldn’t be having fun, dees189227. He dearly wanted to stay with us. He didn’t want to go to them. The fact that he now plays in such a pathetic side would only serve to make him more unhappy.

And this is how it will always be, unfortunately.

Remember the circle of parity? You simply can’t use the argument “They beat (insert team name) so they’ll beat us.”

Ashcroft does. Clearly.

That should’ve been play on. This is so frustrating to watch.

GO SAINTS!!!! Am I the only one watching this match? 😁

By anyone other than MFC fans… Robbie F. ☹️

Andy, surely we don’t tolerate personal attacks on our own players (?) The above is a horrible insult and has ZERO to do with footy. I was gonna just report this but I feel it needs calling out publicly otherwise it will never end. @Demonland

Don’t know if anyone has touched on it (coz can’t bear to read the bile on this embarrassing thread) but wanted to give a huge shoutout to everyone who attended the match last night. Thank you for being there to support our boys, who I’m sure are just as disappointed as we are. I couldn’t attend since I was at my son’s school concert but even in hindsight I wish I could’ve been there, especially since we lost, coz that’s when our players need us most. Oh and also because apart from your own kid’s five minutes on stage, two hours of everyone else’s kids performing is akin to torture. My ears are still bleeding. 😭

Tried to read this thread (ever keen to learn) but couldn’t get past the second page. The usual culprits with their ridiculous comments (eg: Smith can’t play football… 🤮 and that’s just one of many, many examples of BS). The post above pretty much says it all (thanks Layz) about some of the nasty people on here. I have a theory that gets stronger by the day: DL has some failed aspirants, people who always dreamed of making it in the AFL but weren’t quite good enough. The bitterness is channeled towards DL in the form of bagging our players, oftentimes personally and mostly unjustified. Just my take on what I read here all too often. Anyways, onto our next challenge… GO DEES!!! ❤️💙

But it’s different when you’re the grandparent right? Aren’t kids generally well-behaved with grandparents despite being little [censored] at home?

All of the above. But that was as a little kid with big brothers. Windy Hill was about the only ground they wouldn’t take me to. My mum wouldn’t allow it. The things I used to see and hear that my brothers would tell me to keep quiet about would have her rolling in her grave, even now. Princes Park was our most frequented ground, my brothers being diehard Carlton fans. One time I was caught up in a crowd crush at a Carlton vs Collingwood match when oppo fans were brawling at a narrow exit. I passed out and came to in the hands of the St John’s Ambulance ppl. I had bruised ribs and a broken toe yet my mum never found out about it. 😁

The fans? Yes. Especially Port. But in every other respect Geelong is hands down the worst. Apart from being put in a sh!ttty part of the ground, not being allocated enough tickets, the tickets costing twice what we pay for interstate matches and the overall horribleness of being at that godforsaken cow paddock, the ground staff are extremely rude. Any other ground and both banner crews wait together in the race in perfect harmony. Last year at Geelong we were made to wait around the corner in a freezing narrow breezeway for ages under the watchful eye of a very loud and very little man. Yelling at us to move out of the way every time one of those ride-on buggy things came past, must’ve made him feel 10 feet tall. It’s like, dude, you put us here in the first place. Quit your barking. 😁 Then they snap at us while we’re on the ground, telling us to hurry when it’s them who’ve kept us waiting. In contrast, their counterparts at Adelaide Oval are the best.

I have, actually. Once you get past the changing dirty nappies phase It seems it’s smooth sailing for the rest of the journey! That is, if you lay the right foundations. 😉 I have three beautiful sons who have been nothing but an absolute joy to raise. I’m ridiculously proud of the men they’ve become. I manufacture great humans, even if I do say so myself. 😁 just a crying shame none of them like footy 😭

I’m actually not going tonight. ☹️ I have to do that thing, what’s it called again, oh yeah… parenting. 😁 My son is performing at his school music festival tonight and really wants me to be there. Besides that, it’s his 18th birthday today. If I had to choose one match I can’t attend this’d be it. I’m not exactly lamenting being unable to go to Mordor to be treated like scum by the most unwelcoming ground staff on the planet in the most inhospitable arena on the planet with the most hostile hosts on the planet.
