Re: 2018 Rd 9: Post Game Calm: Carlton vs Melbourne

While the likes of Essendon, Collingwood, Richmond etc have vile uncouth supporters, Melbourne has pompous ar$ehole$. They have not had a decent sniff since 1964, had 26 resets or rebuilds in that time with no silverware to show for it (I've seen 8 premierships in that time, Buddy!). I remember a wanker back in Lance's day say that they'll win 5 flags before we win our next because we play fat slobs! 'Go Dees!!' Yeh good luck, they'll build up to let down again...nothing surer!
Back in the 90s, I had an AFL membership and used to sit in the Elliott stand at PP as it had an area set aside for us. As AFL members, naturally we always sat with/amongst the opo AFL members and I can tell you, of all the teams supporters I sat with? Melb supporters were the worst by a long way. And the blue rinse hair brigade too old to go to Mt Buller on the weekends, were some of the worst. When they were winning, they were disgraceful towards us, when they were losing, they would eat their own like I have never witnessed since. The famous last game at PP vs Melb? They were so bad, I had to get up and leave early in the 3rd as I feared for what I was going to do to a few of them. True story.
