The irony was that many of us got a free ticket in as juniors and supported the Dees regardless of where we sat. We had the privileged seats and looked high and mighty. We were sitting in the 'Inner'.ДЄnd fair enough. In the old days the opposition supporters would sit in the 'Outer' and look across to the Grey Smith stand and the Members and the Ladies stand and give us kids heaps. The so-called alliance with the MCC hasn't helped this perception either. Nevertheless this populist mud has stuck and we've had to live with it as the MFC ever since.

I always thought it was more about Geelong Grammar (Sam Newman springs to mind.his almer mater), although Barry did attend Melbourne Grammar and was poking fun at some of his classmates. This tripe about snow bunnies started with Barry Humpries way back in the 60's on one of his early (best-selling) records, for those who remember vinyl. Nonetheless, it was something that really stood out to me and I thought that I would just do my bit to try and clear up the 'myth' about those of us who support the Melbourne Demons. For many Western and South Australians, the need for warm clothing is almost nonexistent, hence why they pull out the footy scarves and beanies when at the snow. There is however, a good reason for this. If you were then to use this football merchandise observation as a way of finding out which AFL team's supporters spend the most time at the snow then you would have to say that the 'Snow Bunny Supporter' tag belongs with Fremantle, West Coast, Adelaide and Port Adelaide supporters. In fact, I did not see a single piece of Melbourne Football Club merchandise for the whole time I was up there! And while the snow does have its fair share of rich wankers, they are not all Melbourne supporters. If you were to believe the stereotype, then you would imagine the ski fields being filled with nothing but rich snobs who drive four wheel drive BMW's and 'support' the Melbourne Football Club. Well not quite, but I do want to share a few observations that I made whilst working up at Mt Buller last year.Д«efore anyone says anything, the 'Snow Bunny Melbourne Supporter' stereotype says nothing about working at the snow. However, seeing as the Queens Birthday has just recently come and gone for another year and with Melbourne having a break this weekend, I thought that I should take this opportunity to dispel the 'Snow Bunny Melbourne Supporter' stereotype once and for all!

Well thats what you would think if you took any notice of opposition supporters and some football personalities in the media. For many Melbourne supporters, the Queens Birthday long weekend means making a difficult decision.Дo they go and watch the Dees take on the Pies at the MCG, or do they head for the hills to get their first taste of snow for the year?
