Gee wouldn't mind one of these deals in Melbourne

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.

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

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 ...

    POSTGAME: Rd 12 vs Fremantle

    The Demons were blown out of the water and were absolutely embarrassing against the Fremantle Dockers in Alice Springs ultimately going down by 92 points and getting bundled out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
