Introductions

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.

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 ). 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!

[Jaded No More 68,879]

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.

[Cameron the Bruce 1]

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

Well done, good luck...

field umpire with the WJFA/Dandenong

did a couple of games with the amatures and defintely looking to do that full time this season. trying to contact them through my advisor atm.

[pringle 42]

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).
