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.

Ouch. How'd you end up a Bills fan?

Same as always. No good reason. Just picked em.

I sincerely hope you weren't a fan in the 80s. Two of the most heartbreaking super bowl loses, haha

Rapt to welcome our American Brother,good on ya AD, who said the Yanks didn't get Irony......ps Nice to know I have some Lillywhite support on here too

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?

Haha no, Portland Trailblazers...who haven't won anything in my lifetime...I'm beginning to think I might be a masochist.

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.

Welcome aboard!

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

Great stuff, spread the word.

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.

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.

At least you will know our theme song!

Welcome.

Prepare to have you character built.

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

Welcome to the Dees!

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

Christ what's happening? Extending the welcome mat to septic tanks? Before you know it we'll be opening our arms to reformed filth supporters or, God help us Kiwis!
