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 ...

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
