Look what I got today

[Gorgoroth 13,021]

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

I know, but I can't stop....it's horrible!

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

I'm in the stage where everything is laughable.

Laughable.... you sir have poured salt onto the gaping wound my friend. Good god that is horrible, hear is hoping the Dees are the ones to break your droughts.

Hey, i already know how to ski! And I enjoy chardonnay! I've heard this stereotype a few times for Demons fans, how true is it? Are there a lot of rich upper-class Demon fans?

Absolutely Not AD

I can assure you I am not and neither are the majority of demon fans.

However there are more than a few who do fit the description

Macca was just having a joke with you.

After the season we have had it seems for most of us Humour is the only escape

Thats what I assumed, just double checking! It's funny since I started learning about the AFL i've found ever team has stereotypes. Western Bulldogs-scrappy team, bad luck Richmond-what we could call over here, white trash. North Melb-no one seems to know enough supporters to figure out what they are. Collingwood- Inbred. I feel like i've learned a lot haha

We may improve a little next year AD so hang in there it could with a little luck be a good ride.

Yeah , 'old dee' summed it up well . All the clubs have these perceived idiocyncracies . It's just a bit of good natured banter .

Btw , and I think I speak for most Demon fans - We hate Essendon , Carlton and Collingwood (not necessarily in that order!) . We also have a fantastic finals record against those 3 teams .

On this site we cover all the big 4 USA sports and we've got a general discussion area where we've got music threads , a bit of comedy and topical subjects concerning various World events . Just click on 'Demonland Forums' above to go into those areas . We've even got a cricket thread !

Who do we hate the most? Do we have a big rival team?

[old dee 23,872]

For most of us Collingwood

There is nothing as sweet as beating them AD

[Macca 17,034]

Well , for me it's Collingwood but it might be Essendon . Schadenfreude is alive and well amongst a few of us . We sometimes venture over to 'Bomberblitz' and watch the meltdown . Some of us are probably over there now

[angrydee 842]

Welcome AD. Lived in NY for a couple of years in the '70's. Have followed the Dees for 60 years and, unlike most here, have actually seen them win 4 flags.

Hang tough 'cause I think we're on the road to glory once again - they've got to win one more before I croak.

[Nasher 33,617]

The old school members who were around during the 60s think we have a rivalry with Collingwood, but they couldn't give a toss about us: they're a big club and these days we are a little one. It had meaning 50 years ago when we would routinely meet them in finals, but these days it's less of a rivalry and more of a case of tall poppy syndrome.

[Demons 32 235]

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.

This is a feeling I get....

Melbourne Demons, Charlotte Bobcats, Wigan Athletic, New York Jets.... All I feel is pain.

So is there anyone currently who would be considered a current rival? Sorry for the questions, I just want to learn about the club haha

AD our biggest rival is winning at present....

I'm an A's fan (because of the Aussie green and gold colours) and don't see them winning anything EVER again but they were fun to watch with the drugged up bash brothers and Ricky H stealing everything in site.

[Ash 22]

Welcome aboard AD.....

Where abouts in the States do you live.....my wife is from Florida, and we return yearly...have a step daugther living in Portland.....

As to our biggest current rival......its funny....traditionally and Historically, it has always been the Filth (Collingwood)...but in the last decade or so it is now the Scum (Essendon).....tho personal hatreds will always bleed thru for different people...

Welcome to the club.......

Oh, and as for teams over there that I support, have had a bit of luck in the last few years.....Patriots in the NFL, Bruins in the NHL and Sox in the MLB......dont really follow NBA.......

Maybe we could set up a trade with the Jets for Tim Tebow? We could package up Morton and sell him as the aussie version of Tebow or Jeremy Lin.

[DeeVoted 583]

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 to hell on earth. If cant get much worse than it is, so if you get passed this horror stretch, you may have something to brighten up your footy side of life in a few years.

I had someone come over here,a few times. before she made the trip, there were a few requirements to be met.

1st was, if she barracked for Collingwood, (the filth) dont bother coming. Her 1st game, we went to a nab cup game, Melb V Essendon, she left hating them too, so I knew she had the right idea. So then I did a trade off, and now keep an eye on the Cheeseheads.

[Sir Why You Little 37,130]

Collingwood are still a fierce rival, don't worry about that.

We took 6 cups from those bastards.

Watch the 2 games from 2010 for conformation.

[Macca 17,034]

Well our 3 most hated teams (arguably) have all lost this weekend . If we win tomorrow I might start believing that our newest member ('American Demon') is a good luck charm .

We may need more 'Sign-ups' from the 'Land of the free' !

Welcome to the pain train AD.

Character building is what we call this.

[Je Roos Salem 661]

Welcome! Please don't get weak legs on the journey that is being a Melbourne supporter!

I hope you can make it to Melbourne one day and REALLY learn what footy is about! You don't know the start of it!! I've sat near Americans at the MCG a few times before and am always fascinated to hear what they think of the game. One of the real joys of footy, it's like they have just been born into the world.

Also, spread the red and blue word. Hopefully you can give the game a name there as too many people here are into American sports these days
