Collective nouns for supporters
What would you call a group of sainters? A "Suffering" of ........saints? (Insert team)
GWS - An "Absence"...... of Giants
Collingwood - A "Sewer" of filth fans.
Melbourne - A "Slope" of Dees. Takes care of the skiing angle and the downhiller bit as well.
Adelaide - A "Murder" of Crows. Obviously, especially if that murder involves multiple victims and weird sexual practices.
You get the drift. Go to it SS!

Re: Collective nouns for supporters
Coming from someone I know is a legend of the site, I'll take that as a compliment. Sorry takeaway, but you're wide of the mark. Long time reader, first-time poster. Didn't mind WW but he lima'd the papa (lost the plot) a bit towards the end. An unedifying end to a decent posting career. It's only an internet forum, FFS.loris wrote:Whoever ‘tis ........

The collective noun for a large group of snowboarders sitting down across a piste so that no-one can pass is an "abomination of snowboarders".
That could be used for any of the other 17 clubs as in an "abomination of rival supporters".

2020 was an aberration, when we travelled twice to Adelaide and won both, beat Tigers early, beat our bogey Swans. 2021 we've returned to our old ways. Damn

so do I .
Ian Drake was one of my father's best mates.
He used to stay with us on his visits to Tassie.
He was also the first adultIi heard use the f*** word.
He was a bit aghast when he looked up and saw me standing there.
So maybe I can put my potty mouth down to his bad example.
