Because if we lose the first quarter anything close to the Brisbane/West Coast games you may hear my boos from the MCC.

Not going to put up with it again. Very tempted to bring a 'NOW OR NEVER BAILEY' sign too...

    I went to every single Victorian match between 2007-2009 (in fact, I haven't missed a Vic game since I was on school camp in 99!), so I'm not about to start skipping games because we suck. I'm used to it :rolleyes:

    That's a quality effort...wish I could be that committed, but retail + uni = missing games.

    That said, I've only missed one game this year.

    Maybe a sign that says "NOW IS THE TIME FOR PLAN B"..

    haha...

    Are there rules re: hanging banners off the 4th tier of the Great Southern Stand? I remember the Wayne Carey banner being removed, but that was because it was to do with the Anthony Stevens situation...

    I know they do not like to cover sponsorship signs. If your going to sit in with the MCC group I would doubt they would allow any signs. (just a guess)

    Nope, don't have MCC, general admin membership. So just find somewhere with no signs down the front and unfurl...tempting. Also probably the world's easiest way to get on TV.

    If we are going to win a first qtr this year this will be the game to do it in! hmm.. I may consider wacking on a first to 25pts multi this week.

    I attend as many Vic games as I can, minus saturday days as I play footy myself then. But support is exactly what we need atm, especially in a time like this. Get around ya fellow demon mates and bring them to the G this sunday. I usually go in with a group of 4-5 people, but I'm gona see if I can get more to come...

    I will be in the MCC Reserve so i expect to see your sign in full view Striker!!

    I need a bedsheet, a tin of dark paint and some bloody time!

    I think it may actually be a decent crowd. People like us are eager to see how we respond. If we don't give a yelp this week, then the following week against North at Etihad is going to be a shocking crowd.

    Would go if I wasn't working, but always go if available. Having said that, if we hadn't played such insipid football so far this year I might've looked into swapping so I could go.

    Whilst its really a minor thing, it being mothers day wont help. The people who are a bit like, "I dont want to watch us lose" just have an extra excuse not to go.

    If you know the player's names as opposed to simply their numbers you seem to get the camera men on you pretty quickly if you sit close enough. Thankfully us as Dees supporters have many 'Number 9' fans who won't be hogging the TV time.

    That's exactly as i see it..The Team just has to respond.

    Raise a noose instead of the Grand Old Flag. That should give everyone a rev.

    I was going to spend the day banging my head against a brick wall, but I've decided to really hurt myself - I'll be there.

    haha yeah - and I reckon if I can actually crack out a sign saying 'Now or Never Dean Bailey' that might get the cameras over quick-smart.

    After last Thursday, I'm expecting a big drop in crowd numbers, but I'll be there, and I think we'll win. As diabolical as Thursday was, we're a better side than we showed and we always seem to handle the Crows pretty well at the MCG.

    Remember the way Hawthorn destroyed us in round 1 last year? Similar response in the media - our odds against Collingwood blew out to about $14 and we came out and took them all the way.

    If we drop another winnable game like this - the heat will REALLY be on Bailey and I'd say we'd be headed for the bottom 4 again. Prediction: Dees by 29.

    Ive also only missed a couple of games over the last few years but I think id rather spend a few hours with my mum on mothers day rather than sit through the torture that is the MFC at the moment.

    We disagree often but you are totally CORRECT here. We should all come this weekend and be positive and be as one. This is a very critical time for us and we need to be shown as supporters.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
