Nobody told me the Ponsford end would be filled with angry Collingwood fans. --- In the sprawling mythology of the DON Network — a media empire built from cardboard, permanent markers, and the kind of artistic confidence that comes from not thinking too hard — there exists a broadcast event so chaotic and magnificently pointless that future scholars will refuse to study it. It begins, as all great footy epics do, with the Collingwood Name‑Calling Exchange: a supporter, armed with the same insult he’s used since 1998, hurls a line your way. You respond with trademark dryness, delivering a counter‑insult with the precision of a man who has rehearsed it in the shower. This tiny moment becomes the emotional backbone of the DON Network saga. It leads directly into the Hat‑Pull Catastrophe — a piece of physical comedy so understated it transcends slapstick. The Collingwood supporter reaches over, pulls your Adelaide beanie down over your eyes, and the DON Network immediately collapses into a state of emergency. The trumpet sting blares like a deranged ceremonial horn announcing the downfall of civilization. Then — a masterpiece appears. Your hand‑drawn Technical Difficulties Screen flickers onto the imaginary airwaves, tilted at an angle suggesting the cardboard itself is trying to escape. The colors clash with kindergarten enthusiasm. The text is legible only to cryptographers. It is the soul of the DON Network: a station that absolutely should not exist. For eighteen excruciating seconds, viewers endure this screen, accompanied by the looping trumpet sting — psychological endurance training disguised as broadcasting. When the chaos subsides, the polished Return‑to‑Programming Card appears: straight lines, gentle colors, and a logo pretending the network is run by adults. It is serenity after idiocy. But the true crown jewel is the DON Network Footer — a three‑panel collage of pure Donald‑coded chaos. Panel One: A footy badge announcing Friday Wildcard Final 2, drawn with the confidence of a man who believes markers are legitimate design tools. Panel Two: A pair of fish who have somehow been hired to represent the Western Bulldogs. They are not dogs. They are not mammals. They are not even land‑adjacent. They are simply fish — committed, proud, thriving fish — auditioning for a seafood restaurant while accidentally serving as a footy mascot. Panel Three: A creature allegedly representing Collingwood. Instead, it resembles a cave painting of a cryptid fleeing tax obligations — a shape so abstract and mysterious that ornithologists would weep. It is not a magpie. It is not a bird. It is a shadow‑puppet‑adjacent entity that defies classification. And yet, together, they are iconic. Overlayed on MCG footage, the footer becomes art. Not good art. Not meaningful art. But DON Network art, which is its own category. The result is a multi‑layered spectacle that accomplishes absolutely nothing. It informs no one. It enlightens no one. It serves no practical purpose. And yet it stands as a towering monument to your commitment to the bit — a gloriously unnecessary creation only the DON Network could produce. #footyhumour #collingwoodmagpies #westernbulldogs #aflfinals #mcgchaos
