Crows, Carn, Cows, Crom... There's been a lot of joking tweaks on the name from supporters over the years. And its all good to me.

As long as you are bleeding Red, Yellow and Blue then what word you and your mates scream when we kick goals is pretty much irrelevant!

Soft spot for Brisbane
I always thought it was a Port piss take (like we do "PEAR"). So I've always just assumed that anyone who uses it is a Pear Troll.

No, it's the opposite. Created by fans to have fun (unlike Pear which I've always assumed was playing into the stereotype of a illiterate Paps supporter).

In my opinion Crom is like a ready made test for dementia.

With that being said I'm currently reading the AFR and wondering why all these kids on school holidays aren't currently working jobs to save for a house deposit.

I am Gen X (just), almost on the border of being a millennial

Spirit of 1976, baby

the AFR used to be a good rag to read but in the last three years it’s gone bonkers, not worth reading anything in the first 20 pages

I can't even act like a boomer properly. My drama teacher was right I can't even do the basics!
 
It's hard to explain, basically someone posted a comment on a crows supporter page on facebook saying "go the mighty crom"

It was then taken the absolute piss out of by another group on facebook and has since spread and turned into a bit of a cult

Proud.
