How're you watching it? Online or TV?

Online, a few games a week get put on TV, but i've never seen Melbourne games. It's always Collingwood, Essendon, and Carlton who get the airtime over here.

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.

Yeah, they're doing surprisingly well this season. It's been a long few years for Dodger fans.

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 live in Canada and I think we get the same broadcast deals. We're lucky to get one Dees game a season on live TV. Online is the way to go.

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.

Barracking for the Dees is a tough gig, its not for the faint hearted.

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.

Welcome AD! Lived in Colorado for about 2 years and a little time in Arkansas (.... looonnnggg story!). Great to see you are a Dees fan and found the forum.

Posted

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.

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!

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

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

oopphh Rangers is just the kick in the nuts after being poked in the eyes, had your hair pulled and punched in the nose.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
