Fellow Demonlanders,

I'm worried about one of our own. Old Dee has fallen victim of the hopelessness epidemic that befalls many of us from time to time. In old Dee's case I'm worried that he's fallen further than is healthy. I'm worried that he might not come back from this one without our help and support. He doesn't seem to respond to my gentle pokes and prods anymore. I think it's time for us to band together and help Old Dee see the light at the other end of the tunnel and convince him it's not just a train coming the other way.

I'm asking everybody to get on board and post a positive reminder to Ol Dee. Let him know just how much there is to be excited about as we enter the 2013 season.

Come on folks let's cheer the old bastard up.

I'll start it off.

Hey Old Dee,

Clark, Dawes, Howe, Blease, Byrne, Tapscott, etc. When was the last time we had a forward line with this much potential? The future is bright my friend. Next year we'll add Hogan to that list. I can barely contain myself!

GO DEES!

I have a smile from ear to ear Reverend.

What a great way to start this thursday.

If anything should cheer him up it is most likely not to be seeing a player in an 'away jumper'! It makes our players look like St Kilda players!

Must be a mystical force in the universe. I was thinking of starting a cheer-up OldDee a thread myself today.

Old Dee, the last GF I was at was in 1964 so I could be as depressed as you. But cheer up, the wheel is turning.

Hi mate long time between drinks that is or sure.

Don't be too worried I am not about to fling myself in front of a bus.

If I was it would not be the because of the MFC.

It is the speed of wheel that concerns me.

With all due respect to Old Dee, at least he's seen a Premiership (or perhaps more than one?). I'm more concerned about the other x thousand supporters who have not had that particular pleasure bestowed upon them.

Spot on I have seen two that is a long way in front of many.

I actually don't expect to see another but would love us to win more than we lose.

I was there in 1964, although I was only 6 and don't really remember it. But don't give up hope. Another might be just around the corner. It's just that we don't know how far we have to travel until we get to that corner.

Couldnt care less about the colour of the jumper, he plays for the dees.

You're welcome - just bloody well cheer up mate!

This kid will be .................. (fill in your own positive/superlative adjective).

I'm more excited by his potential than Hogan and Viney combined.

All class and can kick goals.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
