G'day all, My name is Nathan. I was born in Wagga and played for the wagga tigers for 11 years before moving to Canberra. I'm 27, been following the Dees for close to 20 yrs. My family are Essendon supporters but I saw the light. I have an electronic engineering degree and work at an I.T/POS company in Fyshwick.

P.s I love my new VZ SS commodore ute.

*ahem*

my name is ame, actually amy but there are four amys in my year at school so i spell it ame.. stops the confusion. i'm currently in year 8 and should be doing my pe theory homework but i decided to bust time on here instead. i'm turning 14 in exactly 14 days (yah!). my parents recently separated. i umpire netball locally on every second saturday morning. i first went to the footy in 1997 when i was 5 years old. it was the melbourne - bears game ( i think. something like that) and quickly became addicted, going with my gran and mum to almost every game i could. my melbourne loving gran died in 2003 after a long battle with cancer, and we didnt go to the footy for the rest of the year (all of two games.. grrr). i live pretty far away from my school and most of my friends go for richmond. i love music but dont particuarly like mainstream stuff, i prefer stuff like Bikini Kill and Amy Studt. i went to the 2000 Grand Final (heartbreak!) and my favourite footy memory would be lining up for place tickets after the 2000 Preliminary Final where we beat the Kangas. me and my friends were running around the MCG at midnight! my emails are [email protected] and ame.the.insane@hotmail and if anyone wants to add me that would be great. i want to be an AFL Journlist when i grow up (so i can watch as much footy as i want and write about it .. bliss!) i also like webdesiging and making graphics and stuff.. i'm also celiac and if i eat stuff i'm not suppose to i get sick.. erk . x ame

(wow. i wrote. heaps. pity i dont pour this kinda energy into my schoolwork)

update: as of july/23 i am officially 14!

Hey

name is duncan and im 16 in yr 11 and i barrack for the dees - yet i dont live in melbourne. i live in the harbour city. i had to suffer arrogant swans fans who jumped on the bandwagon paying out every single other team. i go for melbourne because they were playing in the first ever game of afl i saw on TV (they beat collingwood i think)(i think i was loike 6 or 7 at the time). Also my dad grew up going for the dees - fave player was bluey adams.

now my fave player is byron and robbo. i play full forward for my club team and have kicked 217 goals in 127 games.

u can talk 2 me on [email protected] on msn.

oh yeh, and u can add me as a friend on www.myspace.com/spurs_4

peace

Well I guess I can let you in on a little bit about myself!

I'm Lis, as you can very well see, i'm 21 and i'm Nashers wife (ohh the poor fella has no clue what he's gotten himself into!).

Although i'm not a big footy fan, never really paid much attention to it until I got together with Nasher, I am learning to like it, i've even managed to learn some of the Demon players! I've always loved seeing live games, it's the whole atmosphere that I love and find appealing, I was just never one for watching it on TV as the comentators [censored] me off to no end!

I'm usually busy working as a bar attendant, I love my job and couldn't think of doing anything better than chatting to the regulars while serving them their daily beers. But that's about enough of me, i'm usually floating around reading different posts hoping to learn a little more about the sport that my husband adores so much!

Hey guys,

Used to post on demonland a bit, but mainly post on demonology. Somehow forgot what my exact username was on this site, so I have signed up again today.

I'm 23, live in Parkdale work in formalwear as a regional area manager. Been a member of the dees since i was 8 (1990) and a cheersquad since 1998 or 2000, I cant remember which year?!?!

However I dont sit with the cheersquad all that much as I prefer a beer, but when I'm hungover and can't drink I join the cheersquad. Missed two finals since 1990 and been to two interstate matches in my time.

I also love my other football code, soccer! Love the Mighty Melbourne Victory and the Socceroos!

Why did you choose the Dees in 2001? Any particular reason, or just one out of the hat?

Choose them for 2 reasons.

1. My best mate follows them

2. The first game i saw was Melb v Port Adelaide and i told myself before the game that whoever wins, ill follow them from then on. Thank god it was a victorian team.

3. Dees are the best but i do follow Hawks and Brisbane religiously too.

Im 21, from melbourne and been following the deez since 2000. I like how they generally play very 'dignified' footy

I'm not a hardcore fan, but I attend a few matches every year and watch it on TV when it's on free-to-air.

Currently I'm into hip hop, R&B music. Also like a bit of rock

ps, i really love the layout of this forum - very professional looking and jam-packed with features :)

Okay here we go.

22, male. Getting married in November, can't wait very excited.

At uni, doing teaching and should be doing homework but I'm doing this. Yay.

Barracked for the dees since I was about six, no one knows why. A six year old me announced that I had renounced the heathen magpies (Dad's team) and now barracked for the Demons.

Been a paid up member since the 1999 season. Bleed red and blue and am looking forward to a cup in 2008!

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!

    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
