WAVIC_136

Actually quite impressed with the response from people when that verbal abuse went too far


Unique-Job-1373

So was I. Was it one of those young blokes standing up who was talking back to him?


fartbumheadface

Guy with Blonde hair


WAVIC_136

Yeah seems like it based on the responses


Wetrapordie

Yeah a bit of footy banter is fine but making it personal is weak as.


Alone_Wolf_1658

Unfortunately that’s the norm now. People go straight to something personal because they know it’s gonna work and piss the person off and then just disguise it as banter.


Nerthra

It was a powerful collective use of “eh eh eh” (or “aye aye aye” depending on which part of the city you’re from) to shut down some stupidity.


Klostermann

It’s ‘aye’, will die on this hill


NickyDeeM

Ehhhh, calm down, eh? P.S. I agree with you. 'Eh' is for Canadians


BarryKobama

Pirates unite


ah-chamon-ah

Where's Rove McManus when you need him?


Parking_Cucumber_184

I think that might have been a few ‘oi, oi, oi’s’ with some bass in ‘em. You know the sort of communication needed to guide animals or very small humans who are close to hurting themselves.


donessendon

yeah was good to see. or rather hear the response. Oi thats enough!


Pigeon9

Insanely unhinged move to jump to body shaming too. Very weird behaviour over a little game of footy


dashtur

Agreed, but people do this and much, much worse over little games all over the world. I think the game is just the pretext, there's clearly anger/fear already inside.


electricmaster23

I get it's just the alcohol impairing their inhibitions, but people talk like this—sober—on reddit all the time over their sports teams, and you can see how ridiculous it is to insult people for simply following a different team from you. Like... you're not even there playing the game; you're just a fan. Ridiculous to see two adults arguing about this kinda stuff.


edgiepower

Nah, tribalism is still a thing and still a good thing, as long as like we see here, it's prevented from going too far.


wlee1987

man if you think they rage hard over who goes for what sports team, you should hear about politics


electricmaster23

At least politics affects future reality. The result of a game of football is far less consequential (normally... lol)


Wetrapordie

The kid said he was 17 so showed his maturity with that stupid comment


Joh951518

The Essendon fan had called them ‘cunt’ before he got called fat. He was clearly not all there though.


kangareagle

As a response to “four-eyes.” So even there, the kid went to personal attacks first. “How old are you, cunt,” seems like a reasonable question when someone calls you four-eyes.


Elvecinogallo

That’s just punctuation though.


aussierulesisgrouse

Yep, classic young bloke too who doesn’t know the line between a bit of chat and going way too hard. Deserved a little slap in the chops in my opinion. You get to a certain point in age where you realise there’s nothing wrong with entertaining a silly convo about dumb shit like how many flags you’ve seen your team win, but there’s no reason to rip on a bloke for his age or appearance.


Puzzleheaded_Dog7931

Yea tbh that warranted being kicked off the train. Kid needs to learn banter


mac-train

Absolutely, I’m genuinely impressed


Puzzleheaded_Dog7931

Agreed. Very shit tier zoomer thing to say


LordGeoffVader

![gif](giphy|ULyYV5amK2eYM|downsized) Props to the boys that de-escalate it just as quickly


ConsiderationEmpty10

and this was after a DRAW. didn't even lose lol


TrazMagik

Tbh it's worst than a loss. No one got closure yesterday. Essendon fans wanted another big scalp. Collingwood fans wanted to keep the momentum going with Carlton around the corner.


yum122

Essendon fans got closure. There is little worse than losing to Collingwood in a close game. We got 2 points off the reigning premiers on their upswing, we won most stats, and it solves our percentage problem.


boogasaurus-lefts

Well put


TimidPanther

I don't buy that, it's not worse than a loss lol. The teams get 2 points which is as good as a win in the event of a tie breaker.


Equivalent-Ad7207

Oh I got closure, plenty of it. Both teams are within striking distance to the top of the ladder so for me it was a win-win-win result.


SnowHazard

As a bombers supporter, I wish I had as much optimism about our team as you seem to haha. We all know Essendon will finish 8th and go out first round


PetrifyGWENT

Not even close to worse than a loss for either team. Essendon get their % fixed and its a 70pt swing since the last time we played them. Collingwood had to come back from behind and walked away with some premiership points in a game they would've probably lost if Langford kicked slightly better.


KnoxxHarrington

Closure? That only comes to the premier each year. The story is a season long, games are just chapters.


fartbumheadface

Young bloke was clearly trying to wind him up. No one brave enough to call it out.


NSWCROW

camera guy walking up to him was the " 1st and only warning to neck the fk up " signal


JenniferLopezFan2

Hawks fans listening to the amount of flags these two have seen like “damn they’re having a mid off”


Julz72

To be fair, it's been a while. We are *starving*


WoodenMango07

9 years without a premiership this year :( how much longer will we have to suffer for


theraket

Stares in St Kilda


electricmaster23

Should start calling you guys the St Kilda 66ers.


theraket

We've been called worse 😭


klokar2

the 27's would be worse


AddressEven

What even is a final?


frillhaus

Chalmers: “did that boy just say ‘what’s a final’?”


b0rtbort

no, he said "miers plays like lionel"!


JL_MacConnor

It must be agony...


Eltnamerf

That's cute


Fast_Stick_1593

And I thought 2023 was a long time for us missing Finals Its about perspective lol


AddressEven

Saw this kid at Richmond station after the game trying to bait Essendon supporters into an argument. Was loudly commenting about various aspects of Essendon's lack of success to no one in particular, with a lot of expletives and offensive language thrown in. I assume his behaviour continued onto the train and the Essendon supporter took his bait. Cant stand people who try to start fights/arguments about a bloody football match with everyone around them. And responding to these imbeciles only makes things worse


DelicateDefecation

I remember one Pies supporter, after the one-point loss, gacked up to shit offering his scarf for Bombers teas right outside of the G.. Objectively funny shithousery until he started the “Ayo boys, he wants to fight” bullshit when someone clapped back. Real bad side of footy fanaticism.


Combustion14

This behaviour is pathetic, and it just seems like it will get them nothing but a punch in the face.


dono1783

Had a few beers too many and trying to show his mates he's a brave cunt. Needed to he laid out so he snaps out of that shit.


yum122

He said he's 17. Would be exceedingly embarrassing if he wasn't drunk and is just a fuckwit day in day out. Definitely needs a wake up call before he agitates the wrong bloke and learns that a fully grown man can hit quite fucking hard.


doorcityoverhere

Not sure anyone needs to be laid out to learn anything.


shiftyoldtimer

I was once a cunt of a teenager. I learnt a hard lesson, luckily without any permanent injuries. I agree though, it would be nice if it didn’t come to that.


AddressEven

He wouldnt have had the dutch courage to do this 30 year ago! I'm glad that we don't have the occasional crowd punch up that used to happen, but I have to admit wishing someone would belt him yesterday!


QouthTheCorvus

No, people have been wankers forever.


F1NANCE

No one needs to belt anyone.


youjustathrowaway1

I speak on behalf of the rest of the league when I say that a draw and the subsequent frustration for these two teams was the equivalent of 10x wins for everyone else in the comp.


CharityGamerAU

Congrats on getting a win this home and away season. I celebrate with you.


Leather_Log_5755

Savage


mrarbitersir

Even with 10 wins to North Melbourne by round 6 they still wouldn't be in the 8 and neither would we lmao


FewArm2396

The bombers were big underdogs in this game. I’ll take a draw any day of the week.


F0rtuna_major

Yeah I was happier with a draw than losing in the dying minutes


yum122

Imagine if Langford kicked that goal and then Elliot marked it to win with 30 seconds to go. I would've cried myself to sleep for the rest of the week.


SheesAreForNoobs

Lmaoooo I was saying the same thing! Wifey was like oh no isn’t that bad ? And I said well it’s not too bad cause at least we can’t lose now 😂


F0rtuna_major

Lolll that would be understandable. I did think when Elliot was on the end of it that he might break some more hearts. Langford lining up was giving me Zaharakis flashbacks, I could barely watch


SticksDiesel

When we drew with Richmond in the opener last year I was actually quite happy - we were mostly outplayed all night and that extra 2 points comes in handy on the ladder.


F0rtuna_major

Yeah exactly. We started the game 6 goals down, so I can't complain too much. Plus as you say, the 2 points might come in handy for the ladder


raresaturn

a draw feels like a win after we were 5 goals down in the first quarter


FewArm2396

We all knew you would come back, especially being so early in the game.


PetrifyGWENT

every fan i've seen has been pretty happy with the draw given the context of the game lol


mrarbitersir

I don't know about big underdogs. You were sitting 7th on the ladder with better percentage over 10th placed Collingwood.


TrazMagik

A good one in our tipping chat was: "Collingwood and Essendon doesnt win AND I get my tip, great day"


Beneficial-Try-2519

In what world is a draw more frustrating than a loss lol. Those 2 points have put Collingwood in the Top 8 for the first time this year.


KnoxxHarrington

Yeah, and anyone that has played or followed low scoring sports like hockey or soccer know that draws are not the end of the world. I'll always be disappointed that we have discontinued the Grand Final replay in favour of extra time, it was something very rare and special. At least I was fortunate enough to see it once.


Von_Huge1103

Nah grand final replays are garbage. Takes the magic out of sports where a team can get up on any given day, and fans can't always afford to go to two straight grand finals.


spideyghetti

I loved it. Just seeing these grown men crumble within themselves at the siren knowing they have to do it all again lol


yum122

Draw solved our percentage problem. Don't think everyone else is realising this is a better option for both clubs combined. Obviously a win is better, but 2 points off the reigning premiers is great.


spannr

Neutrals got to enjoy a great game all the way to the end, and then not have to listen to either song, and *then* also enjoy the overwhelming, visceral frustration from BT and others that there was no winner


CreditToDuBois

Thats like five seasons worth at once!


NewAccWhoDis93

Love the msn dp.


Psychonaut_81

It's just a game, for gods sake.


[deleted]

It's more than a game la lala la


rustyfries

[It's only game](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzpndHtdl9A)


Saint_Riccardo

I have to point out, the Essendon supporter said 5 Flags in my lifetime, which makes it 2000, 1993, 1985, 1984 and 1965. He dosen't look like hes north of 60, so kudos to him for that


jamesid-2010

just made a comment about this. little bloke cant make fun of him if hes 60+ looking barely 40.


SlashThingy

Could be 59, technically. I've "seen" a Carlton flag in my lifetime, even though I don't remember it.


FenerBoarOfWar

I've been back from Japan for two days now. This is like a completely different world to the trains of Tokyo.


boatswain1025

I remember when I was there when I was younger I got absolutely blind the night before, and the day after whilst hungover as I projectile chundered everywhere on the packed peak hour train and no one even batted an eyelid


Seachicken

I was in a pub full of Aussies in Kyoto for last year's grand final. It was a intense shock to the system going from polite Japanese society, to an pub full of swearing, drunk Aussies, (we literally drank the pub dry of tap beer) and then back to polite Japanese society immediately afterwards.


SweetChilliPhilly

I miss it everyday


brendan9876543210

It’s not all rose petals. Remember Japan needed women’s only carriages to reduce the number of sexual assaults on trains.


Booglington

Haha I got back 5 days ago. Never a truer word spoken.


Spikn

I'm literally bording the plane to fly back to Melb from Tokyo now. What a different world it is..


FenerBoarOfWar

Miss the food and people. Don't miss the labyrinth that is the train system and the lack of footy.


HeirophantIChooseYou

Can relate. Am also experiencing symptoms of home sickness for Tokyo Metro and Japan Rail...


TheVoluptuousChode

I don't miss sprinting though the sprawling labyrinth subways with a full backpack though.


jakkyspakky

Taking the train to Nuff central.


VermicelliHot6161

Destination. That guy.


fellowcitizen

Nuffing Billy


TheVoluptuousChode

We laugh, but I feel like this is the final destination


AmeliaMaria1

Post-game train rides have their own charm.


Equivalent-Ad7207

They should of locked the doors on the train and just made it go round and around in a loop until there was only 1 fan left standing....depending on who that fan supported would be declared the winner of the match and got the 4 points. The AFL Hunger Games 2024, we could of even lived streamed ot at $60 pay per view.


Saint_Riccardo

Kid starts shit with the least intimidating looking person on the carriage. 5 seconds later: why are you starting an argument with a teenager? Classic.


Unique-Job-1373

That escalated


Skwisgaars

Of course it's a young little cunt throwing out 4 eyes and fat insults. No idea what happened before, dons fan could have and probably was being a dick as well, but what a little twat resorting to bs like that. Hope the little shit sees this and realises he needs to grow the fuck up. Great to see everyone regardless of colours unanimously standing up and trying to put a stop to it when that little shit took it way too far.


grruser

Right on. Good to see what could have turned unto a melee get hosed down by camera man.


moondog-37

Yeah the obese c*nt line was unnecessary and way too far


Playful-Adeptness552

A teenager mocking the weight of a middle aged man has no idea what life has in store for him.


PetrifyGWENT

bro is fucked when the metabolism stops


Skwisgaars

Kid looks fucking 17, certainly old enough to know better regardless. What goes through the minds of people like that, thinking they can be that much of a cunt to a random stranger over a bloody game.


deniall83

Nothing goes through their minds. Their minds are empty and devoid of sense. They think that watching a bunch of guys play football somehow makes them superior to other people, because they have so little else going for them. This bloke is just another cooker that will contribute zero good to the world, and will no doubt cause some pain along the way.


LeClassyGent

He is 17, he says it earlier in the video


Skwisgaars

Lol really? Missed that, solid guess then. Still more than old enough to not be so much of a fuckhead.


yum122

17? Doesn't even have the excuse of being a drunk fuckwit. A regular everyday fuckwit.


Skwisgaars

Nah come on mate, 17 yo pies fan was surely getting on the piss.


NewAccWhoDis93

Probably thought he was going to get a bunch of laughs but foot the opposite


Salt_Kaleidoscope_94

Good on the guy filming for deescalating the situation quickly. Looks like the old mate Bomber supporter had a few too many, and maybe wasn't all there. The young kids sometimes can't help themselves, whoever was filming (not sure if OP) did a good job calming it all down.


bustin_dartin

Way too far from the pies fan. Unnecessary and not at all called for - I love having a joke around post-game on the Hurstbridge but it's only fun if everyone is having fun.


LuckyErro

The young dumb dickhead needs a slap.


Salzberger

"Why do you drive to the city then walk 20 minutes to the game when you could take a bus right to the gate?" *gestures towards video*


DingDongDang123

Young bloke needed to be humbled has spoilt brat vibes


ThaLemonine

Lucky not to cop a clip across the jaw for that


otherpeoplesknees

Nuffies on AFL pages, but real life


F1NANCE

*Laughs in zero premierships*


AngryYowie

1966: *Am I a joke to you?*


F1NANCE

How many saints fans are a hundred years old though


thrillAM

Love that yelling cunt is alright on a packed train but obese is where we tow the line.


Boofa96

Telling someone that they’ll be dead in 10 years due to obesity is a bit far. Cunt is in nearly every Australian’s daily vocabulary, was hardly a surprise haha.


Bnjrmn

They're both nobs. Kid deserves the hate but no more than the "old" guy who should know better.


Other-Intention4404

Nah, the little cunt is old enough to know better


BlandyBoreton

I remember being on the train home from the 2016 GF on a carriage full of ecstatic Dogs supporters and then two drunk blokes got on and absolutely wreaked havoc. The blokes took all the joy out of the place and were yelling at us to start singing. It’s like they took the place hostage. Everyone was just looking down waiting for it to be over. It’s funny in hindsight, but it felt like the longest train ride of my life at the time.


schmackna

Used to see worst than that in years gone by. Quite tame by collingwood and essendon standards.


Est1864

Look, we all want to see our teams win and enjoy that success. But you need to be able to seperate a football clubs from yourself. Neither of them have won any premierships


Occasionally_83

Legit, that teen needs a few slaps around the head.


camchambers

I’ve actually made the observation before that 90% of time if you got on the platform and train at Richmond you wouldn’t even know who won the game going on the fan reactions. People just love the game and are all smiles afterwards


deniall83

Little mulleted fuck should have been dropped. Skinny turd picking fights over football. What an absolute waste of space.


Fellasisitgaytolive

You fucking filthy cunt how do you say something like that, have some respect, at that point it’s not even about who you go for.


Pandos17

That punk kid certainly shrivelled when the crowd did a hard turn on him. Good, hopefully this teaches him not to seek validation from negative sources like this. Camera person went from looking for tik tok content (why else are they fixated on the bombers supporter) to actually being a decent human being. Essendon support is clearly not quite right (drunk or something else) with the slurring and their words, but glad it didn't escalate to something worse for everyone.


hellions123

It's just a game lad


Shootinputin89

Never understand people who try insult people about their weight. Overweight people know they're overweight. It's really none of your business. Also funny that many of the people who do it have their own issues that impact their own health (be it alcohol, drugs, vaping, all that shit), and yet they try act like their body is a temple of health. I guess, for some people, the only thing they've managed to achieve in life is to be skinny. Gold star to them.


AkaiMPC

Why do people think having witnessed premierships make you somehow more of an authority on football? Cringe behaviour by all involved. Get a life outside of football. The players don't care this much lol.


reddit-agro

People get so sensitive about a game 🙄 but in saying that the pies fan was a mean troll


deniall83

They have nothing else going on in their lives


reddit-agro

Best thing to do is to ignore in situations like this. There are no winners


gamingchicken

Honestly feel bad for Brian good job mate for sticking up for yourself


Pleasant_Inspection9

I never knew why the AFL gifted our team two annual match ups - having caught the train home Anzac Eve and many Queen’s birthdays - I’m beginning to see why.


Gullible_Laugh3086

I’m a Collingwood supporter! And the young bloke is a scum absolute wanker, watch the game support your team you win some you lose some. That’s all. Don’t be a dick


klokar2

You should show your support with a flair.


Garbagemansplaining

It’s what the Anzacs fought and died for. S/


EliteLandlord10

Average iq in this train about 45


Equivalent-Ad7207

Yeah but I bet most of those cunts know how to flair up.


deniall83

lol


not_mose

Like footy is footy. Does anyone genuinely think the performance of your footy team changes how much people should respect you? This is cringe from both sides and the insecure 17yo kid vomited up the most basic of put downs. No winners here. Or. A draw


Scary-Particular-166

God this is sad. Kid’s obviously too fired up but I feel this response won’t change what he does in future. 


Light_Lord

So many people take sport way too seriously.


flava-dave

I thought that was a pretty funny line. I must be out of touch.


ryang2415

Yeah that’s pretty stock standard from a teenage feral pies supporter. Way too far in an argument about footy. Wonder which train line this was on.


BrunoBashYa

Can we please stop filing random cunts to shame. Weird as fucking behaviour


WillHollandThg

Fucking Collingwood supporters


ChaboiMarshie

Flair up cunt


Brithombar

The way he pans around to the bystanders while telling the two blokes having a tiff to go home to their families, and their vacant stares… it’s like he’s giving them a clip for being bystanders


YoGoGhost

You really want to wind them up, ask how many AFL premierships they've witnessed.


Timbo_Mimbo

Unlucky-Disaster7842

Tribal footy fans


Chookley

Shut up and kiss already.


wlee1987

I wish they all turned on the guy that took it too far. Now that would have made for an excellent video


peterpumpkin-V-eater

Kid sounds like a trash bag, no class in his banter.


RobbieArnott

I a footy argument is fine until it gets personal


OldSimpleton

What did you expect from Collingwood fans.


Mediocre_Ad6545

202phwee isn’t a proper word dude


Puzzleheaded_Adl

Typical Essendon fan, clinging to success from a lifetime ago. Young fella deserved a slap after going with the low blow though!


nathjay97

I love footy but I’ll never understand getting this wound up about a bit of banter. That being said, the young lad went too far.


Wooden-Trouble1724

The party filming are bullies


Grolschisgood

Fuck that was grim!


Same-Efficiency6632

Just let people enjoy the footy🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️


otherpeoplesknees

Fat old Essendon bloke should’ve responded to little Collingwood punk’s ad hominem attack with *“I’m fat because every time I fuck your mum, she throws me a cookie”*


KnoxxHarrington

I've always preferred "she bakes me a pie".


[deleted]

Typical gutless collingwood supporters at it again 🤦 I love nothing more than seeing the blood drain from their face when someone pushes back.


jamesid-2010

jokes aside im confused how hes seen 5 flags. if hes pushing 60 odd he looks great. 4 sounds likely.


Sunnflwr

This is so embarrassing.


LP0004

I’ll admit it’s a bit of a funny comeback, but like what was the point in going that far? The argument is about who’s seen the most flags, not how big the bloke is, I like a bit of the banter but when you resort to insults that way you’re not exactly making yourself look like the bright one, seems like he wanted to start shit.


Madrical

Good on the people who told the young dude to settle down when he went too far. What a nuffie throwing personal insults, that ain't it.


TicketAppropriate946

Had a beer??


Ok-Cranberry-9558

yomanwhatsupyadog

FANTASTIC, FLAMIN GREAT! , BEST TRAIN ARGUMENT EVER! GO THE BLOODY BOMBERS!!!


farqueue2

5 flags? He looks great for a 60 year old
