l was thinking that I am hungry for footy to start this year an thought that it could be a good idea to take a drive to Adelaide.

For $20, I get to watch 3 AFL games which would give me a big hit that I need and also help out with the floods but then thought HOLD on !!!!!!!!!!

There will be a heap of Crows and Power people there what about the Dee's - is there many from Demonland going or many Demon fan at all?

I have never been interstate to watch the boys would like to be around Dee's fans not dead heads.

Should I go and take the kids for a weekend trip or just stay home and watch on TV? :rolleyes:

You could go, but if you start to hear the strains of "Duelling Banjoes" it might be best to start moving rather rapidly towards the exit - you really don't want to be there when the "squeal like a pig" chant starts up.

I wouldn't want an Adelaide NAB Cup game to be my first interstate footy trip.

The Darwin game has to be the best interstate game I've been to.

I will never attend a Port game over in Adelaide since going there a few years back now when I was about 9 and they threw food and spat at Melbourne fans.

I haven't been back since.

Fair call hardtack. U certainly wouldn't want to watch deliverance prior to attending the adelaide stadium. Fiction may just evolve into reality!

Really hoping to get to Darwin this year. Combine footy with traveling to a new place.

And take it from someone who has been to Adelaide to watch the footy half a dozen times... don't. It's an experience you definitely want to miss.

My only interstate trip will be in round 4 against the Gold Coast.

I'll be making two interstate trips this year... to Melbourne :-) Don't know which games yet, but must at be the MCG.

It's such a stupid fixture for us to open the NAB CUP against Adelaide and Port and not on free to air! And it's very unlikely that we could progress to the next round, not that it matters anyway

It's a very good thing for the large amount of Melbourne members up here. I think there is 5000 members living in SA? We Don't get to see them play often and to watch them early in the season is a small pleasure.

Adelaide was my first interstate game Vs Port in 2009, we lost by 10goals,

the beer is [censored] the ground is [censored], the port adelaide supporters are [censored],

my point is ADELAIDE is a [censored] hole.

I will be travelling to Adelaide to watch Melbourne Victory @ the Adelaide Oval.

shapes up to be a cracker game and crucial to where we finish in finals.

Shattered that the Dees are playing up the road the same time as the soccer..would have been perfect if it was on the saturday...

besides finals there is nothing better then travelling interstate to watch your team. I love going to Subiaco when we play, it is a good atmosphere. I am looking forward to the West Coast game this year. I will have easter in Perth and stay on for the Thursday night game.

    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.

    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
