Hi, I thought this would be good for everyone on the forum to tell us a bit about themselves, whether your a new poster, or an 'old' one.

As for me.

I'm 18, doing VCE exams at the moment. Begun volunteering at the MFC late last year with the Demonology/Demonland volunteer group, and from there I begun doing some full days at the club, including the chance to go on the Footy Show Membership Drive on the clubs table.

My most memorable MFC moment was round 2, 2004, when I went into the rooms, met some players, and ex-players as it was the 'Unficiation March'. Ron Barrassi told me to 'get some porridge' into me. I then donned the playing gear, ran through the banner, and tossed the coin.

Amazing experience.

Ok, over to you.

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster.   Remembered my password tonight, so I'll be having a solid crack at posting this year

I just wanted to illustrate exactly how much I love the Dees: I’m not a gambler but every single week I bet AGAINST the Dees. That way, if we win I’m happy. And should we lose, I’m sad, but I’m sad an

I might as well have a go,

Well my name is Dale, im 19 and live near Pakenham. Right now I should be studying for exams for uni, where I study Medical, Forensic and Analytical Chemistry (impressive name hey :P ). Outside following the demons and uni, I'd say my main interest is music, punk and hardcore mainly.

My most memorable MFC moment is still to come in a few years, when we win a flag!!!!! :D

Anyway thats all I can think of for now so...cheers!

I'm 19, having finished my VCE exams last year (don't listen to what they tell you, my high ENTER score means nothing these days).

I decided to take a year off, and now I work in child-care and nanny on the side. I'm going to study nursing next year, well if I get in that is.

Apart from my work and footy, my other real passions in life are shopping, reading and music. But I will happily give up all my shoes, books and my iPod if it means seeing a Melbourne premiership.

:)

Why would we hurt you?

Anyone whose ditched the Bombers to come over to the Dees is a great friend of ours!

We respect your obviously phenominal judgement!

i agree to an extent, but it damn hard to believe that when you are actually doing VCE, but once you finish you look back and can see where people are coming from

Don't get me wrong, your ENTER is important if you know straight away what you want to do. But I got into a course with limited places, decided I hated it and dropped out.

One year later, and I may not get into a nursing course, although my ENTER was almost 30 points higher than the required ENTER for year 12 students.

You should always strive to achieve your best, but don't beat yourself up too much if you don't finish with 99.95. Even if you don't get into the course you want, there are always ways to work around it.

Just enjoy year 12, because you will miss school when it's finished.

Howdy, I am 18 (and a half!!!) and am still in the middle of exams-If any of you know what the IB is you can identify with my position at the moment!!! Finished in 8 days though so that's exciting!

I live in Balwyn, drive a clapped out jag but at least it looks good

My passions are cars, playing sport and also being an armchair expert on every sport. I am rapt the racing carnival is over though.

Supported the dees since I was born, I was captured by my uncles and 'It's a Grand old flag' was the first song i EVER heard!

Favourite moment would have to be the 2000 qualifying final against Carlton, we were sitting down the end where Green, Bruce and Yze put on a show in the last quarter. Two weeks after that was pretty special too, with Farmer kicking 8.

Like everyone, I'm waiting for a premiership. Now that would be exciting

Fave players are Bruce and Yze

I'm Tom, I'm 23 and an Aries.

I currently work in customer service and have supported Melbourne since Feb 1991.

Before that I had followed my family and for the first 8 and 1/2 years of my life considered myself a Collingwood fan, I shudder to think what I would have been like if I hadn't seen the light and become a Demon.

My Favourite players are David Neitz and Cam Bruce.

Well done, good luck...

G'day. I'm Dion. 25 years old and just finished uni after 7 long and excruciatingly painful years of study (as stated on another thread). Been a supporter of the dees all my life and go to the games every week with my brothers. Apparently I annoy the crap out of them. I can't help it. It's not in my nature to sit down quietly whilst watching football.

I did some work experience with the Demons medical staff earlier this year. This was an amazing experience and gave me some good insights into some of the injuries players carry through a season as well as how these niggles may affect their performances. And just so that people know, we have a top notch medical team looking after our boys.

Favourite Demons moment: Though I was only 8, I still have vivid memories of the 1988 preliminary final against Carlton at Waverley. After crying my way home following the '87 Jim Stynes debacle, the next year's win was sweet (even if we did end up embarrassing ourselves the next week).

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
