Da druid - footy show star

Re: Da druid - footy show star

Then it's a good thing there is over 50,000 seats at Etihad. I am not and will not go to the football and be a golf clapper. I have always been loud in my support, just because I am now just as loud on the eyes and get the odd run in the press, I do think they think I am an easy target for their snide remarks and vitriolic comments. I spend a lot of money to see the team that I love so much. I keep it clean and rarely get complaints. I do think that if a poll was taken amongst the Bulldog brethen, I would have a lot more fors than againsts. Some people are never pleased and never impressed. It would not surprise me that these are the same people who sit there all game making negative comments about the Bulldogs, slagging off their own players and not having a nice word about anyone except themselves.
Point them out next time TCD, I will throw 50 cents their way so they can ring someone who actually cares about small-minded fans like themselves.

Easy target? Bit hard to miss ya.
I've sat near you mate over the years and it doesn't bother me or my kids, other than to say you need to get some new material. Gets a bit boring.

Some people should just stay at home I get a bit rowdy at the football its called passion and if you are having a go at a bloke for being passionate then the Doggies are not for you !!!

With all due respect, if you seek to stand out from the rest, you can expect to be a target.
I have been going to the footy for 30 odd years and have never been in a fight.
If you want publicity, you have to expect consequences unfortunately and that is people wanting to start a fight with you.
Its no different to alot of other people who get their scone on the tv/newspapers

Re: Da druid - footy show star

Be wary Adam, you are starting to alienate some supporters.

Yesterday I heard a number of people saying that if they had to sit near you on match day & you were yelling & carrying on like yesterday they would be asking the club to relocate them.

I guess the last thing you want is our own supporters to be annoyed by you.

By the way, don't shoot the messenger, I'm only passing on what I heard yesterday.

Some people should just stay at home I get a bit rowdy at the football its called passion and if you are having a go at a bloke for being passionate then the Doggies are not for you !!!

I'm with you guys, Adam's passion is awesome, and I'd rather see the mohawk in the paper than the bloody golden jacket that Nuff-Nuff wears.

I wear one of those dreadlock beanies the kids wear, and at nearly 30 years old I cop a lot of shit. But who cares? I'm vocal and I can be seen, just like Adam, and when you see us, you see red, white and blue, when you hear us, you hear “Go Dogs!”, and that's what it's all about.

We're not at a nightclub. We're not out to look good or to impress anybody. We're out to show our love and passion for our club and our colours.

That's a cop out in a way. Just because Adam is out there, doesn't give people the right to pick a fight with him. He shouldn't have to tolerate it at all. Those annoyed by him should be paying more attention to the football.

Well, it's a sport and passions are hard to keep in check. But violence is another thing. I think you can expect opposition to do their worst verbally, but physical threats are something you should never tolerate at a footy match. Times have changed. What you say is true but not right.

Re: Da druid - footy show star

Here is a great video of Adz with Aker, you spoke very well Adam, reasoned and respectful, I think Aker spoke well too, to be brutally honest…

Re: Da druid - footy show star

Its an interesting topic,

A few years ago I read a book on why soccer violence/hooliganism exists in the UK, and why it has somewhat changed.

Essentially it boiled down to the fact that people were paying so much for their tickets people would often work the entire week and go without to afford to buy a ticket, to only then lose it when you have personally gone without stung, particularly if you throw in a perceived "the other team are full of rich people " etc and the lowest common denominator of a pack emerges and balloons from there.

I've never seen the violence or the hatred caused by our game like in other codes such as the example above, given that our society is very different, and all that, but what i have seen comes down to a single factor

Alcohol.

It makes a dickhead of even the best bloke, no questions.

Personally I think its nonsense if you put yourself out there that you are free to cop some stuff in your direction, I couldn't disagree more in fact.

The best thing about druid, and people like Joffa etc, are that they add something to our great game, they are great with the kids, they get the crowd going, and we all have a good time. (I sit near snowy(NFI of his real name) and his shiny jacket which gets a run when we are close to winning)

So I say, please keep it up, step it up with fresh and new stuff and most importantly, please keep being yourself, otherwise we are in for a hell of a boring existence.

Re: Da druid - footy show star

How long have you had the suit Adam....and who made it for you?

The suit is new. Yesterday was the first appearance in public. With the rain yesterday morning not being conducive to mohawking, I made a last minute decision to wear it. It is made out of two sets of single sheets purchased from Bulldog Central. It was made by Minh Tailor in Barkly Street opposite Gilmore Girls Secondary College. In total, with material and tailoring, $360. Still trying to find some blue Doc Martens to finish off the ensemble. I will not have the big mohawk and collar/leads this season as they are being auctioned on Sunday for charity.

So the mohawk is gone and the colourful suit is in. You must be maturing.

Saw the mohawk on Saturday, when I walked past Adam with Firstdog. WE did say hello but he probably didn't recognize us.

DaDruid up there with Joffa and those two old North melbourne bags from the 90's in terms of airtime atm.

Is that the woman who looked like Betty Cuthbert? God I couldn't stand the site of her ,always moaning [then again she followed North melb]

There were two of them from memory. The C7 cameras would pan to them a number of times per game, usually the Friday night monopoly that North had early/mid 90's. Yeah, Betty Cuthbert does come to mind
