Stephen, 27 years and live in Eastern suburbs & getting married (to a St. Kilda supporter) in November which is exciting.

Work with Department of Justice in the Magistrates' Court and been a Melbourne supporter for my whole life apart from a brief 6 season stint from 1992 - 1997 when my Grandad brainwashed me into going for Carlton sorry to all, but I eventually saw the light.

Been a member every year since 2001 and am really excited about the direction the club is heading.

Favourite memory was the 98 finals series when Melbourne smashed Adelaide & St. Kidal the previous years Grand Finalists.

Favourite Players: Rivers, Grimes, Jurrah

Hey,

Just joined up. I'm 24, been supporting the Dees ever since I was born. Family tradition. Been a member the last 4 years straight, though my dad had me signed up all the way till I was 18 and then got lazy for a couple years to do myself. I'm a very committed supporter, and play football passionately ever since I was 8yrs old (Eastern Football League, and currently playing in Southern Football League). I'm also involved in athletics. I try to go to as many Melbourne games as possible, although Saturday's got me out as I play footy myself then.

My most memorable games I've attended are Melb v Carlton qtr Final in 1999 & the big comeback against fremantle couple years ago.

Sylvia is my fav player as I like the way he goes in hard.

Cheers

Over 60 Dees tragic who after lurking these pages for a long time signed up to join the chorus after Thursday's woe. I hope someone from the club reads these threads and realizes it is hard to keep coughing up the membership when people ask who you support and it takes a full phrase to reply : long suffering demon supporter.

Hi I'm Dan

I like martial arts, cross stitch, long walks on the beach and cruising the local discoteque.

I'm sure you're pleased to meet me.

Hi there. My name is Chrissie and I am a music photographer. I have been lurking on this board for a little while and only recently starting posting. I started following Melbourne in 1994 as I was dating a Melbourne supporter. I'm a pretty passionate Dees supporter. I go to the games every week with a few other Melbourne supporters. I sit in the Melbourne reserved area. I am also very optimistic and I think we will see a flag in the next 5 years. I'm single. I'd like to meet fellow Melbourne supporters.

Can you chew gum and walk at the same time ?

Sorry - forgive my hyper bowl.

Hi I'm Robbie

I don't believe you, no one could love (or even like) Julia.

As for Carbon Dioxide Bob, you and Julia expel more than any factory or power plant, so can we tax you both out of existence?

Ask Malcolm Turnbull- the next Liberal leader .

Nah, he has zero chance of leading the Libs, Jackster. The only people that like him are left leaning Labor flogs. Last time Turnbull was the leader Labor led the two party preferred vote 54-46. Without him as leader the polls are the complete reverse, which isn't a great endorsement for Turnbull.

Get my drift ?

Hey there fellow demonlanders my name is Dajana- or Dianne in English. My friends call me Dee, it is quite fitting as I love the Dees so.

Came over to Australia from Croatia with my old man at the tender age of 2- so I'm dinky die Aussie! Follow the Demons because Melbourne is the city we settled in.

I am 5'11, lanky and a dead ringer for Rosie Huntington, I am a total klutz and one of the biggest social retards you'll will ever hope to meet (hence my presence here). I would describe myself a tom boy (had no female influences as my mother left after I was born) I speak my mind and I find it hard to trust people.

Waiting for our next flag I am very optimistic. Hoping for it to come soon so I have a legitimate excuse to get a tattoo. Oh and the glory that comes with being number one and hopefully shaking that range rover snow [censored] tag would be nice too! :)

G'day guys, I post a fair bit on BigFooty but am in an exams period and found the temptation to stray from Demons talk too hard to resist. The board there, aside from the Dees board, is obviously rubbish - so I'm looking forward to contributing here until my final exam and beyond!

I was born supporting the Mighty Blue and Red although the team was West Perth and not Melbourne.

Was a WCE support up until 1999 when I turned to the light and became a Dees supporter due to my hatred of the host club system in the WAFL which cost West Perth a Flag.

Became a member of the MFC last year due to my frustration with its lack of on field success but wanted to show my support to the Club.

Joined Demonland after the lost to the Suns this year as I wanted major change in the Club from the Senior Coach to Board Members. Things are looking really good on that front for the 2014 season as finally we are recruiting people who can do the job that is needed.

I live in country WA so don't know too many other Demon supporters and can not wait for the Clubs 13th Flag.

Go the Dees!

Morning all,

Just signed up this morning after abandoning the sinking ship of Demonology. Don't hold that against me though, I was never one for the in-jokes and in-fighting that plagued that site.

33, teacher and a dad.

In Roos We Trust.

Welcome aboard tbf, not the same level of personal insult here that there was there. Surprised it took you so long.

G'day all. I've posted a couple of times but I thought I better say a quick Hello. I'm an iinterstate member currently residing in S.A., but grew up in NSW. Being from NSW, I spent the early years of my life following the neanderthal game, until one day in 2002 I went to see Nth Melbourne play the Crows at a match in Canberra.From that day onwards I fell in love with AFL. Didn't want to blindly follow my Crow supporting mates,and being the massive horror fan I am, thought the Demons were a natural fit. For the next few years I guess I was a casual observer, until a match in early 2006 when we played the Crows, and my passion found a spark.I started watching more and more games on TV and as time went on I decided that I wanted to help the club in any way,shape or form and figured the best way for me to do that was to become a member. Since then have floated around the edges of the various Facebook groups and Twitter,and that has now led me here. Look forward to chatting to you all (even if I don't post a real lot).

well ive finally made an account.
I used to have one 4 years ago, lost the account (laziness) and just been reading religiously since.

I live in Ballarat, age 21, I'm overly competitive and enjoy squash.

Parents do not follow footy (or any sport at all really) so i started supporting them a little later. I picked a side at the start of the 2000 final and never looked away from the dee's.

I look forward to posting regularly.

Welcome back Hompy.

Nothing like a bit of aggression on the squash court.

Must say I haven't played that game for years.

nothing like running into walls for the sake of winning.

I only play with my friends at the local university. No supervision either, so we don't play with any protection (oh the bruises).

Things can change quickly...

You're now 30, 2 of your 3 favourite players are gone, and you were "really excited about the direction the club is heading". It headed for the kind of disaster rarely seen in sport.

But who can blame you ? Most are optimists at heart.

I am I missing something here Ben? What made you resurrect this post from 2010? ( that is apart from the obvious contradiction that I've " been a Melbourne supporter for my whole life apart from a brief 6 season stint from 1992 - 1997" ?

There are mysteries here,I'll have to get onto these forums more often.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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.
