2007 round 18 (?) against the Dogs at the Dome.

Yes, sorry, I meant outside of Victoria.

Can a mod possibly change "MCG" to "Victoria" please.

Interesting nonetheless.

Let's see if we can notch up our second win since 1988 (?) at Skilled Stadium :P

We have no chance next saturday...Kelly Underwood will be commentating!!!!!

Still cannot believe the game of The Russian last night..What an effort for the jumper that was.

That effort should inspire the whole club this week.

And from memory the last win before that was in the 80's! Not a happy hunting ground for the Dees.

There was also a draw in 2006 -Funny to think that at this time both sides were quite evenly matched... Who would have thought that 4 years later, they would be dual premiers and we would be dual wooden spooners.

Yes we played about 4 years worth of close games against Geelong & then the cats just went BANG!! With the right attitude they can be matched, will be interesting to see how the club & Footy Dept treat this week.

Geelong will be red Hot favourites so we Demons have nothing to lose.

And that is the exact attitude that the Demons should go into next saturdays game-Play for each other & do not fear the cats or their ground.

Take risks run & move the ball. Enjoy the challenge & not fear it at all.

It's not about the win. Having seen Geelong against Collingwood, I feel safe in saying we're no chance. Especially down at Skilled.

It's about the effort. I don't want to see a West Coast style performance, which will give us a 100 point loss. I want to see us really compete against the best team in the competition.

This game will really help us determine where we're at.

:o

And get it done before the Queens Birthday clash, after the walk to the G. Brilliant. :P

If we beat them by more than a point I'll also tattoo "I love Juice" on my boobs and post photographic evidence on Demonland.

Seriously, we are no chance.

Despite some posters voting in the affirmative (which will undoubtedly follow), I'm pretty sure that would be against the Code of Conduct.

I also think it's a safe bet that it won't happen.

That being said, a week is a long time in footy, Jaded. Plenty of enthusiasm about our young players that will be wanting to test themselves against the best.

Some nervous moments for you, perhaps. :lol:

If we win, it might almost be worth deforming myself forever and having to explain to people why I love fruit juice so much that I felt the urge to tattoo it on my body.

Just be sure to have tattooed "100% Fruit Juice." ;)

It's a claim often used that meets regulatory food standards.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
