Don't mention the C word!!!
A true story. When one of my daughters was having an 18th birthday party years ago at a safe venue I'd selected, I went outside for a smoke and ran into some ladies from Victoria who were at another function at the same venue and the subject matter gravitated to the AFL.
The told me they barracked for ABC. When I eventually asked why everybody hated Coll, well, the venom, the vitriol and torrent of abuse and hatred directed towards the black and whites simply amazed me.
Made me think if ever I went to the MCG for a GF, I'd certainly keep my mouth shut.
