I recently moved from perth to brizzy and thought i would give the local support group ago after having a ball in perth with them.. I was very dissapointed to learn that they dont do anything and that rrepeated attempts have come up short..

in Perth i went to a pre match dinner the night before got to meet the coach and some players, them had a bonus of going to hold the banner out on the ground..I had a ball. There is some benefits to barracking for the non home team.. So after this kind of reception in perth i was really looking forward to atleast a after game meet and greet..

Isnt there anyone else in queensland this passionate???

I am converting banana benders from that sport where no one has a neck and it is kinda embarrasing that we dont even have a weekly place to watch the game. :(

    I know this is totally a bit off topic but i i was going to post this mourning.

    Regarding the game at the Gold Coast against the Sainters.

    Does anyone know if we are going to have an after match function like we do at the Gabba?

    Also any idea of accommodation we can stay 1 night in? 4 of us.

    Thanks guys

    In reply to your question you will find you have a number of very passionate supporters up here in brissy.

    We have an after match function every year after the game at the gabba. Usually this is at the Pineapple Hotel and is a great night after the game! Its run by demondeb and you can join QLD demons through her.

    There are all sort of things organise throughout the year and this year is good cause we get to go to 2 games.

    One at the gabba

    One at Carrara.

    So hopefully that answers a few questions.

    I love watching the games at home with a lot of friends, we kind of set it up like a stadium haha so its a personal thing but i am sure if you request it, demon deb will organise a place to watch a game all together

    I'd like it if we could have designated places where Dees fans can go in any major city.

    Even in Melbourne, it's hard to find a place where Dees fans can congregate and watch the match together. One inner city pub, and possibly one in the northern, Eastern, Southern and Western parts.

    I started this thread with the hope of letting people know where they can watch the Dees play.

    Surfa, look up demondeb and PM her to link up

    Yes DemonDeb certainly seems really passionate enough about this Surfa, just as you seem to be.

    Hi Trent

    Alas there is a lot of apathy here in Qld and most people seem to prefer to watch the games alone. I have tried numerous times to get groups together and failed miserably. The only time i seem to have a meeting of minds is on game day at the Gabba. So, on that note, I suggest there could be some people gathering at the Pineapple Hotel but not sure how many of them will be Demons fans.

    If you are interested, we have a get together there on Friday 3rd April where we have the club's Qld recruiting officer coming along to talk about the club's recruiting strategies, the new recruits and also will answer questions.

    Hope u can come along.

    Deb

    This was the response from deb and it didnt really sound too promising.. (not bagging Deb at all ) i just thought there might be something permanant on a week to week basis. Anyway if anyone is interested pm me and i will approach a few place that are central with good parking and try to get something going.

    Surfa, asked the question on a another thread but we are coming up to watch the Dees at the Gabba. Before I book seats is there any specific area that Melbourne supporters will be. Don't want to sit with the enemy!

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
