I am going and hoping to take along my 14 year old niece who has just arrived from Egypt. She lived with us for a year several years ago and back then we went to every home game but she has never seen us win a match. How bad is that?

Very hard to get her attention for tomorrow, she remembers our last game together where we both got drenched in the rain sitting with the cheer squad watching MFC lose yet again

For the record as well, my bespoke tailor requestes payment for his services! Apparently this is a problem for BBO who expects it is more payment and enough to be a model and walking advertisement for anything my tailor produces.

    Hardtrack doing the 1030 am seconds match at Olympic Park but not the ones at the Gee? I would love to be at Olympic for Casey but had been pre-booked for a brunch unfortunately. Oh well.

    Will be at the Gee as well...this is my son's birthday trip to Mlbourne to see the Dees, so he gets to see as much as possible. Footy overload tomorrow :-)

    Had to buy a Helstra on demand account so I can watch the MFC play in 2015.

    Downside is I can only watch the game on mymobile or tablet.

    Luck I do have a 22" tablet somewhere in the house.

    Sounds good, jazza. Have a great time, and no durries at half time (or any other time).

    Actually had the port bottle passed around on a cold day at half time,and durries enjoyed by most.

    Afraid those days are gone R@B.

    Best of luck to all those bravely venturing out today. I won't get any further than where I left the remote last night.

    But here are a few things you might like to try on the way to the G (inspired by Old Dee's many references to wet tram tickets):

    Stones Green Ginger was the favoured heart starter when I played. Usually a 3/4 time booster.

    Typical softkok romesy beetles attitude.

    3/4 booster,hahaha,try putting your head over the footy,that usually works.

    No wonder our club is buggered with this attitude,out with the soft and lets get some tuff buggers with coconuts in here to help us climb back to the top.

    Back in my day we passed around quite a number of things.

    That was in the amateurs of course so we never lowered ourselves to drink that swill. Top shelf only.

    These days I believe the ice pipe is the must have accessory for the country footballer.

    There was a time when a snort of snuff was de riguer during the break, but that was back when ol'dee had hair.

    It would be nice to finally win a first round game after 10 years of losing them.

    I will be there today. No fishnets for me. In fact, no balaclava either. It tends to get the hackles up of the security monkeys.
    I'm wondering where I should sit. The newly minted Robbie Flower wing is tempting but seems a bit removed from the action. I tend to sit near the cheer squad which is great if we are winning but if we are down, it is the depths of despair.
    If we win, who knows? I might upgrade to an 11 game membership. My work situatsion and the general stinkitude of the MFC has forced my hand on a 3 gamer this year.
    I am sure Uncle Bitter will look quite fetching in his get up. Of that, I can guarantee.

    I sat up near the Robbie Flower sign for the first three quarters, and then down into the dry area (left forward flank to the Punt Road end) for the last. Was almost level with Watts when he lined up for the set shot goal. It is a great spot when we are kicking to the Punt Road end and scoring, as you can hear the players calling (and the thump of the tackles). Up top definitely gives a better perspective of the overall play, and was a great place to watch Tyson's goal in the 2nd quarter unfold.

    I presume you have upgraded by now ... :)

    I too had difficulty believing and thought some of the "Health Substances" Biffen supplied me with were Hallucinogens!

    BTW. As I was walking back through Fed Square there was this Canuck sheila putting on a stand up show - total nutcase. I'm wondering if it was Mable Demon!

    cheers to hardtack and son making the trip down from sydney town

    seeing two victories must have made it all worthwhile

    od, would like this. got on a bus after the game (train bus) and this middle aged geezer got up off his seat and offered it to me

    he must have thought i looked close to a hearter, which was probably true - lol

    or maybe he fancied me?

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
