Maybe we could get Ricky Nixon on here to tell a few jokes to cheer old dee up a bit?

Toot toot.

Actually there's something to feel good about - the fact that you're not Ricky Nixon.

Apologies to Disney and 'Old Yeller'... I give you, the "Old Dee Theme":

Old Dee was a hunter

A rearin', tearin' hunter

In any chase he knew just how to run

And when he hunted trouble

He always found it double

And that's when Old Dee had fun

Chorus:

Here Old Dee

Come back, Old Dee

Best doggone 'old dog' in the east

Old Dee was a fighter

A rootin', tootin' fighter

In any scrap he knew just what to do

A rough and ready fellow

Although his coat was yellow (well, red and blue - but that doesn't rhyme with 'fellow')

His bold Demon heart was true blue

I think the wheel will make a slight turn this yr in the right direction Old Dee.. Not a lot, but surely a little. We are definately going to get tougher anyway so cheer up and look forward to trouncing the power in rd 1!!!

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.

Hey Old Dee, there's not so many of us left from the glorious 1964.

As a young 17 year old in the crowd that day, and having not lived in Melbourne since 1990, my spirit has not always been that of a dedicated supporter.

However, I really believe the shock to the system created by the turmoil of the last few years and the way the team is being run now, have all set us on a path which will give us at least a couple more dates to add to that wonderful day in 1964.

I can almost see it now with the siren about to go : Jack Watts running off the back line, playing out of position and thumping through a perfect goal, as we once again go on to smash the Maggies for just a few points !!!

The difference is, this time we will back it up again the following year, against Carlton and then the next against ....

Go Dees 2013 and beyond!!

Fellow Demonlanders,

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,

And a full year of Craig and Missen with a cleaned out list

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!

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    PODCAST: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    Join us LIVE on Monday night at 8:30pm—note that this special time is just for this week due to prior commitments. We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits. I apologize for skipping our annual season review show at the end of last season. After a disapponting season filled with off-field antics and a heated trade week, I needed a break. Thankfully, the offseason has recharged me, and I’m back—ready t

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
