It really was funny, that my first game as a fan was the drubbing to WC. But staying with the club through the bad times, will make the eventual good times all the better.

The Los Angeles Dodgers. There was an old song written about the Dodgers back in the day with the line "They may be bums, but they're my bums." That's how I feel about the current Demons team. They're not doing too good, but dammit I love em.

Nice.

At least the Dodgers are going a bit better these days. You'd be getting a bit of joy watching Kemp play. Superstar.

welcome to the elite club of supporting both the mighty dees and the famous tottenham hotspur. there arent many of us and those of us who exist are depressed and yet always full of hope!

No idea why I chose the Spurs but such is life.

Add to that the not so successful Buffalo Bills in the NFL and NY Knicks in the NBA.

Just can't seem to pick em right...

I think i've got an odd thing about picking favorite teams, that tend to not be overly successful. My favorite NFL team hasn't won an NFL championship (they did win one championship in a now defunct league though!) My favorite soccer team is Tottenham Hotspur who i've supported for 13 years now and haven't seen them win anything. My favorite baseball team hasn't won anything since the year after I was born...I'm accustomed to pain.

if that is the case can you do us a favour and support Collingwood for a while ;)

Welcome aboard! Great to see the club send you that poster.

So that would suggest you're a Clippers fan too then?

Welcome AmericanDemon! glad to have you aboard the pain train. At least we can say we've won the 4 most premierships in the league (12) even if the last one was in 1964. Also we have won the most premierships within 7 yrs, I think something like 6 flags in 7 years.

Hey all, i'm an American footy fan, and last year, I decided to support the Demons. Partially because I am a fan of Hamish and Andy, and heard Hamish was a Dees supporter, but more so, because of the rich history of the club, Jim Stynes, and a few players I really liked. I was so pumped to watch my first game as a Dees fan, I woke up at 3 AM to watch Melbourne get thumped by West Coast, haha not a very good start to me being a Demons fan.

So at the time I became a fan, I sent an email to the Demons, asking a question about something related to the club. Anyway, I never heard back from them, till earlier this month. I got an email back from a representative of the club, who thanked me for my support of the club, and said that to make up for a slow reply, they sent me this. Got here today, and I'm way excited. It made me love the club even more. I honestly didn't even expect to hear back from them, let alone have them offer to send me something. Sorry if this post was kind of stupid, I just wanted to share my excitement with someone, and i'm the only AFL fan I know in my state haha.

Welcome AD and you'll be more welcome from me if you also go for the San Francisco 49ers.

I received the same picture from the club as part of my sponsorship package and I gave it to my 7 year old grandson who gleefully accepted it and it now sits in his room above his bed.

Perhaps one day it will be a collector's item.

Haha yeah, My girlfriend still asks if i'll be getting up in the middle of the night to watch rugby? But she does know I support the Demons, just has the wrong sport, I guess that's something right?

Welcome aboard AD

I have two small pieces of advice from a supporter of 52 years.

- Buy a recorder for future games

- Stay in bed with the Girl friend

The results will be much better all round that way.

Welcome aboard American Demon .

A few unwritten rules ...

1 - Learn to snow ski

2 - Drink Chardonnay

3 - Get yourself a Range Rover

4 - Practice phrases such as "Who's that big chap in the no.9 geurnsey ?

5 - Talk about 'Our Window of Opportunity' . It's currently 2015 . Next year it will be 2016 .

6 - If you have any sport(s) jackets , gets some leather patches on the elbows .

Cheers

AD you think u have it bad, I've followed the dees for over 30 years, the rams in the NFL and Bolton in English football and rangers in the Scottish league :)

Welcome to the Dees!

Condemned84 have you consider finding a new past time?

Sport does not look like a good idea.

Try the ballet, the theatre or Music mate

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
