The most important thing we as supporters can do is turn up tomorrow and show our support.

Nothing will lift the players more than a huge showing of supporters.

Go Dees.

I have a premiership reunion at my local footy club that I will either attend for 10 mins or not at all to go to see the Dees on Sat. Will I regret not catching up with a great bunch of blokes who I love playing in a flag with to go to see MFC play footy?

Lets hope not

I have gotten over my shock, despair and outrage. I will be there.

Unfortunately there is a possibility we are looking at the last days of the Melbourne Football Club.

If that happens, I don't want to look back in a few years and know that I deserted them at the death.

If it doesn't happen it will mean we have survived because we managed to turn things around.

Either way, it will be profound and I do not want to miss it.

Go to the reunion mate.

I'll be at the G after contemplating a few weeks off after last Saturday. After the forced resignation of Schwab which I had argued for I think st only fair that I now rock up this week to support the club. I also feel this is when our support counts the most when the team is down on the canvas and getting smacked from all sides. I'll be there to yell "Get up Rock" and if we get smashed I'll be the one yelling "You're a tomato" and ordering another drink at the bar.

Yes, I think you will.

My first year I had a membership with this club was 1981, for those old enough they may remember Rd.3, a win by one point at the whitten Oval. I still have fond memories of that game and the atmosphere(not quite as good as the Whitten Oval in 1987). It turned out to be our only win for the season. It is easy to follow a team when they are flying, the true supporters show their support when the team is struggling. I will be there tomorrow, hoping that the DEES can start to turn things around.

US President John F Kennedy delivered his only only inaugral at 12:51 Friday, January 20, 1961

it included the following

" And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country."

And so we should ask not what our club can do for us but what can we do for our club in these testing times.

I will be there until the end and so will the group thats going with me.

Go Dees

Would fit perfectly in the #demonunity thread.

Look Pal, I have been a supporter of this Club for 60 years and I don't rock up to every game, but to say only a true supporter turns up when its all gone to Rats droppings is bull dust. we all contribute in many ways whether it be through your attendance at major debacles or you financially contribute with memberships. i wont be there tomorrow but will be there next week bringing my very aged mother,and , by the way , every time I have dragged her in we have always won handsomely and she is actually a Carlton supporter, well , I am not going to take her there am I!!!

No its been 50 years of mostly heart ache and if I didn't have another life I would have gone stark staring crazy!!

See where you're coming from but don't entirely agree. I'd love for every Dees supporter to turn up at all times, but would prefer a member who is absent over a non-member who turns up more often.

Agree with you here demonique, whilst supporting your team through appearance is very important, being a paid-up member is even more important to the club.

IMO the definition of 'supporter' is being a member of the club and no less. Those who are not, are just fans.

My town is celebrating its centenary tomorrow, something that clearly only comes around once in a lifetime. I will be at the game, foregoing some of the celebrations, but if we are getting thumped I will not feel any compunction about leaving early so I don't miss the parade - once in a lifetime, or a round 3 game? Hmmmm.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
