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.

Hey Jaded, did you ever go back to school?

Hi all, long time lurker, first time poster.

 

Remembered my password tonight, so I'll be having a solid crack at posting this year

Cassie here. Lifelong Demon supporter. Inherited it from Dad who was a fan in the 1950’s. Yup he got the premierships and I got the crumbs. Don’t worry, my older and younger brother are stuck too.

Not one of those defeatist supporters and refuses to let the self-deprecative humour dominate. We must not let ourselves accept ridicule and do it ourselves. Never accept merging or relocation. There is more about following a football team than just premierships. Also, I don’t believe in this so called “Norm Smith curse.” Never heard anything about it until some idiot on Wikipedia put it on there as a poor excuse for poor performances and the public just accepted it as fact.

Try to go to games when I can. Have Foxtel purely so I don’t miss a game. Recently became a member again in 2016 because I can see that our team is really trying now. 

Been aware of this site for a while, but had to post to share my opinions on things. I hope to do a lot more of this in the future.

 

Look forward to meeting all of you. Any demon supporter is a friend of mine!

Forgot to add my favourite Demon moment.

1998 Qualifying final against Adelaide. Me, Dad and my brothers went. After 1996 (not knowing if we’d still exist) and the heartbreak of 1997’s wooden spoon, I started wondering if we’d ever see finals in my lifetime. Even though everyone was saying we had no hope at beating them, we all went not caring what the odds were, just grateful to see them play in a final. 

What a day! We absolutely killed them! Such a great game. And we were all, there together to share it. Still the best game I’ve ver been to. I’m really hoping that if we can make it, we can all go together again.

Hi
First post here after lurking for so long getting all my Demon info here. Lucky enough to have been to about 12 Finals from 1988 to 1994. Lived in Melbourne then but now in Perth. Favorite Demons were Alan Johnson, Brett Bailey and Rod Grinter,

Welcome to Demonland (officially)

I'm not sure our prospects and position as a club are quite as dire as some on here may think, but I do feel that this year is somewhat of a cross roads for us both on and off the field and has the potential to shape the next 5+ years. So...looking forward to posting about it!

Welcome.

Yeah welcome aboard. Hoping to see plenty of you reporting on future victories and highlights for the next ten years, and then hope you don't have to experience another period like our last fifty ( my supporting lifetime).

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 and have a little more $ than I had pre-match. I started doing this in 2017 and sadly won more money than I wanted. I’m happy to say that this year I haven’t won a cent! I usually place a $10 or $20 bet, except when we play Essendon, where I’ll happily lose $50 to see the Dees beat them. Incidentally, I HATE Essendon with every fibre of my being. And I mean Hate with a capital H. Next-level Hate. Boss-level Hate. Probably borderline obsessive hate. Hate with an unrivalled and unbridled passion. And not just since the 2000 grannie either. I’ve always hated that team. And always will. Anyways, that’s how much I love MFC. ❤️?
