Same. But when we don’t win, watching the likes of Essendon win makes it more painful.

I’m with you BDA. Why voluntarily watch Geelong dole out a hiding. But there is ONE good thing about this weekend of footy… Essendon lost. And that’s never a bad thing. 😁

Or Jeremy Howe. I think his heart still beats true for the red and the blue. At the very least, part of him does… I know for a fact he was wearing red and blue jocks last night. ❤️💙 Thank god the edit button hasn’t disappeared. The Howe suggestion wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. I just thought it amusing that he was wearing red and blue jocks while playing against us. Carry on.

Second only to…

And please stop with the name-calling. It’s both unnecessary as well as forbidden on DL.

Is.

A magpie Neanderthal came down the aisle during the game and spewed forth a torrent of verbal abuse directly at one of our DA members: a 20yo sweet-natured girl who’s probably not even 5ft tall. And this guy was huge. He looked like a Collingwood supporter who’d swallowed another Collingwood supporter. Idk what his issue was but we just had to take it. A couple of our guys stood and yelled at him in her defence but were quickly told by the rest of us to knock it off as it’s not worth it. Sure enough, he retreated when he realised he wasn’t getting a bite back. But in my three months with the DA I’ve not seen anything like this. And he wasn’t the only one, either. Throughout the match they’d come dragging their knuckles down the aisles on either side of our bay purely to mouth off, not at us in particular but clearly to stir us up while we we chanting etc. Vs other teams the oppo fans sit in the bays on either side and behind us and yes, they’re loud and obnoxious and they hurl abuse, but they don’t come down the aisles to do so. Last night was quite the experience. 😑

Uncultured swine. Only two words in their collective vocabulary: BOO! and BALL!

WCW also starting in the guts. (banner raising). 😁 I reckon I’m more nervous than the players. Biggest crowd thus far 😬

I got to choose which giant head I’ll be waving. I could’ve picked Hunty my fave but I thought in light of what happened yesterday I’d go the Ed Head #PositiveLingers

I’m also surprised by the reaction of a substantial number of people on here. Using words like “stupid” and “dumb” and “silly” among other derogatory terms is unnecessary. I personally find Ed’s candour refreshing. Besides, his comments weren’t overly inflammatory.

On the subject of booing: it’s likely Langers will attract more than his fair share tonight. Maybe only for the first quarter or part thereof, since average Collingwood supporter = attention span of a moth. I hope they boo him loudly and often as that’d mean he’s getting a lot of the ball. That said, we (DA) will try our damndest to drown them out. Hopefully all Dees peeps join in! #LotsaLoveForEd

Slim pickings right here, BBO. Personally I’d LOVE to offer you post match accommodation at mine, except I’m allergic to rude, irritating, pompous, overbearing, belligerent, obnoxious, abrasive people.

Ballarat 🤙🏾

Defs not preaching here, but for those still in two minds, or those who CAN go but choose not to, remember how far out of his comfort zone this man went for our Club on many, many occasions… #BeLikeJim

And hey, should we lose tonight (except we won’t), but if we do, let’s all NOT point the finger at Ed. To suggest that the outcome of a match can be even partly attributed to the pregame words of one player is foolish. #PositiveLingers

“Upstarts” - Can’t think of a more fitting description. Well I can, only every second word would be censored. We’ll get the job done tonight and we’ll revel in their misery. 🍻 GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!! ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙 #PositiveBinners

Methinks a quicker getaway would be to NOT park at the ‘G. Perhaps you could park at a train station (eg: North Melbourne) and from there it’s a relatively short train ride to the ground.

“Again”????? We never stopped!

I’m here at the Reach Foundation atm making the banner for tomorrow night. Bit of a sad vibe here tonight. 😔 This is what greets you as you walk in… ❤️💙

Why not get your bespoke tailor to make you one? 😏

I remember this because he was so flippant at the time saying that after meetings the coaches etc. would shake hands and say, “TANKS for that” and the like. He thought it was funny until as you said he was persuaded to change his tune.

Curse you, BBO! You’ve put the mozz on me… I bought one this morning ($1.90, for just one!), just cut into it and it’s all green and gross on the inside. I should’ve gone the soggy newspaper route. 😡

On a lighter note: it seems tomatoes are the new bananas… ❗️❗️❗️
