Kiwi Demon, great effort!

Welcome aboard, enjoy the highs, and (ride) the lows, because once you're on the MFC ship, your heart bleeds red and blue

Kiwi - Don't get too depressed by the current MFC situation - We've seen good times, and they'll return.

Best time to be apart of the club though. If you feel the lows - the appreciate the highs so much more.

Damn, i feel crook reading the birth dates of most of you here.

My name is Craig. Born second of April 1968 in Numurkah Victoria, and am of Scottish/German/, and a little, Aboriginal stock.

Spent 4 years living in Maitland N.S.W, and now live in Blackwater Qld, working as a shotfirer in a coal mine.

In case you dont know, a shotfirer puts explosives in the ground, then turns big rocks into little rocks.

Having grown up in a conservative National party voting area, i can see both sides of the argument when it comes to politics, (I am a delegate for the CFMEU, and was part of the team that negotiated our last EBA, so i am not a fan of AWA's).

I read, but do not reply to, almost all posts on this site, and demonology, and i find that the posters i am drawn to are the ones i disagree with the most.

HELLO ALL!

Nice... I was born on the April 11 in 68. Spent quite a few years in the Riverina teaching. Love the country life, but I'm in Canberra now.

The rules of this forum say that one person can only have one sign-on, but they don’t stop multiple people from using one sign-on!

Herein lies the problem; I am 54 years of age, wore my first Demons footy strip to primary school sport in 1963 at springvale state school. RMIT Engineering degree, married, 3 kids, played footy in the country, coached footy in the country.

My identical twin is 28 yrs old, never worked, is illiterate, as you can see by some of his posts, and believes he knows all about people’s personalities simply by their forum post, and can sometimes be unfunny.

Hang on, got to go…..quick, Dees Dayz is coming up the driveway.

Hi to all. My name is Matt and I am 35 years old (shudder). I am a lawyer and live in the Virgin Islands, along with my wife and two kids. One of the great things about living outside Australia at the moment is that it has allowed me to completely brainwash the kids in following the Demons. No nasty young Collingwood supporters here to point out the realities of ladder position! I am now teaching them to reserve special hatred for particular opposition teams.

My favourite Demon memories would include the 87 preseason GF win (and wearing my tatty old Demon jumper to school the next day), Garry Lyon kicking a bag in a final against the Dogs and a couple of finals wins against Carlton.

Another lawyer! Not that there's anything wrong with being a lawyer, but we do seem to have a proliferation of them on here.

Sounds like you've got it made BVI... Good job, young family, tropical residence, no Collingwood supporters... sigh.

G'day.

I am TheGrimReaper. I am a Swans supporter, but loves my football and cricket. This year will be the first year, I will become an AFL member, so I am hoping to get down to around 28 to 30 games this year including 6 Melbourne games.

I live in South-West Victoria but originally came from South Melbourne, and I support Port Melbourne in the VFL.

Hey

TheGrimReaper & morton2watts got me here. I am a North fan but have a great interest in the demons. I manage to get to atleast 4 or 5 Demon games a year with my father who is a 30th Melbourne tragic. I love watching Austin Wonaeamirri and Aaron Davey play. They excite the crowd with there pace and thrill. I came here since Melbourne BF Board only bags the club and its not really active. Its great to be here. Hope to catch you around.

Cheers Joe

I just been introduced to his blog by Morton2Watts and its a great read and I got alot of laughs from it.

G'day 37 years old from Kingville. Married, 3 kids and a footy tragic. I keep telling myself I'll see a flag before I fall off the perch.

Hi all, I too am a Dees tragic. On the wrong side of 30 now and looking at a career change (dangerous). I live interstate but am looking at moving to Melbourne some time this year. I have been following the red and blue since '87 and have had country membership for the last 8 years which will soon become a proper membership. Looking forward to a productive 2009 season and beyond.

Hi everyone

I've just joined the forum, so I hope you'll be gentle! I've been a Dees supporter all my life, and have been a member of the club since I was 8 years old, so 30 years now. I've been a Redlegs member for a few years now, but it's not the same as the Redlegs were back in the late 80s/early 90s, when it was in the old Northern stand.

As a teacher I constantly have to put up with students laughing at me when I say I'm a Melbourne supporter, usually Collingwood kids! Doesn't worry me though :)

Don't worry, the tide will turn soon. Nice to have you on board.

PS. Collingwood is constantly referred to the "Filth" on this site. A little crude. But fitting.

Just in case you weren't sure when you come across it from time to time. ;)

Hehe, crude it may be, but quite apt :)

Hey guys I just signed up then, this is my first post.

I'm 23 nearly 24, live in Melbourne and am a final year Science student majoring in exercise physiology. I've been a Melbourne supporter since birth along with my dad and brother. I go to as many games as I am able to and this will increase a lot when uni is over. I used to play amateur footy up until i was 20 but I was always better at tennis. I love football in general and try to watch as many games as I can. Best Melbourne memories include meeting Jim Stynes and Gary Lyon at about 10 outside the MCG, qualifying for the 2000 grand final (i forget the result of that GF...), and this year seeing how the supporters of the club have showed their hearts beat true by reaching record membership in a wooden spoon year. I also enjoy seeing Gary on the stretcher!

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.

Just for the history books, I have been a Dee's fan since as long as I can remember, as was my mother and her mother too which has now passed on to my boys. My greatest moment was when I was 12 yrs old and Neil Crompton kicked a goal to win us the 1964 Grand final. I have been forunate to see some great players over the years and even got to play basketball which Crackers during the off season even though we could not convince him it was a not contact game. I am exited about the future prospects of the club and believe that they are on the right road to have us back on top again. With the upcoming talent of our young players and the prospects of the 1 & 2 draft picks who ever they choose, I cant wait to experince that feeling again when the siren goes and we have won another flag.

Darwin Deez supporter here. Am 32 and have followed the Deez from a young age. Had no family influences to persuade me to barrack for the Deez but enjoyed watching Sean White the Irishman play back in the day. And a little later, Steven Tingay. But I'm happy to say that my son HAS had family influence and is also a devoted Melbourne fan. Well, it was either that or he'd have to move out!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    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
