    I reckon it would be a great idea for the club to organise a venue, close to the 'G, where supporters could meet for lunch, before heading to the game.

    A sense of being part of the supporter base would do much for the lack of a strong culture spoken about on another topic.

    I am sure it would not take much to form an "alliance" with a good pub, not far from the ground

    Absolutely Iv's, i've often just though "if only the dees had a place in the city"

    Working in Fitzroy hasn't helped remove this thinking! Anybody ever been to the Napier? Don't anybody tell them Fitzroy is no longer.

    The Dees have suffered for a long time i think because of a lack of a "home"

    There's no where traditionally Dees supporters can gather, aside from of course the footy and club sanctioned events which (like last week's post match) can often be hard to uncover.

    Having a place where supporters can group easily would be a great step, but perhaps a fool's dream.

    During ND's tenure a couple of times after a game at the G where the players and fans went to the Hilton. Which was great after a win. ie Queens Birthday.

    It's all about "the vibe" - and these gatherings would be great for the club I believe.

    All,

    Friday was a fantastic success raising around $6500 for the club with around 60 members, supporters and friends in attendance. With a bit more time and effort next year I have no doubt that we will double our numbers here in Adelaide.

    Jim, Chris and Don McLardy told it how it was without pulling any punches, took the hard questions and answered them candidly.

    Feedback from all I spoke to was overwhelmingly positive and passionate towards our cause.

    Will see if I can get a chance to post some more info and some photo's during the week.

    Still trying to come to grips with another AAMI debacle the following day ...

    Gary

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
