Win or lose doesn't seem as important to me as actually looking forward to the game. I haven't felt that all year.

WATTS ruck/ruck rover good move,hope he ends up "resting" in the forward line. I hope he keeps this position for at least 3 weeks ,the experience will be good for him ( improve confidence

and self esteem ) and for the dees.

BLEASE needs to keep playing senior footy.

I would like to see GARLAND play forward when FRAWLEY gets back,he has kicked goals b4.

Overall CRAIG team looks alright, the so called "also rans"get to have another crack,will be interesting.

note:- b4 stands 4 before,I hope that the above is not an english test. 4 those those who are concerned,should statements end in a ?,YOU worry warts need to get a life.By the way my name

is FERKOFF

hahaha I lost it when I read this. I have done the exact same thing to two ex girlfriends lol. Building a supporter base one by one.

Is it wrong to buy her a Dees membership for Xmas?

One things for sure, if we do get up today the heat is going to be well and truly on Scott Watters.

C'mon Dee's.

Sticking tackles will be crucial today.

Watching Port v Sydney reminds me that intense pressure and good tackling can bridge a gap between two teams very quickly.

I was going to then not then going to then not, still not bloody sure what to do.

Heres hoping.

Good luck boydie. In saying that I am undecided I did put $10 on at $7 for the dees to win between 1 - 39 points so here's hoping

prior to a certain persons departure I commented to the good lady ( upon her questioning ) that I didnt think wed probably win another game for the year. We still might not , but my thinking is we just might now. Today being a case in point.

A littlel ray of sunshine...has come into my world !!!!

( well we can give it a whirl !!! ) :)

You know that phenomenon were teams who's coaches are sacked come out and play awesome the following weekend? People often say "they played for the coach, but why couldn't they do that previously"?

Well I have a theory, I believe that happens because often when things are going south at footy clubs, and pressure is really mounting on a coach, the players really feel that. They feel a weight of responsibility, which makes them less confident, less able to positively attack games. We've seen it this year in many games where we play quite well, and then when the going gets tough, the players find it very difficult to play with freedom, they second guess themselves, they think, oh no, another big loss could be catastrophic for Mark... etc.... and the confidence level plummets. The collingwood game is a prime example. It's not that they are not fit enough or good enough, it's that the weight of responsibility forces them to go into their shell.

Then when the coach departs and that cloud lifts, often they attack the following game with a freedom not previously seen. Garland said it in his presser... "we have nothing to lose now".

Who knows, maybe I'm talking crap, but I'm going with it, and it makes me confident of an improved showing today.

GO DEES!

Yes - never under-estimate how debilitating imposed guilt can be!

It's like a first date!!!!!!!

As long as she not a dog, cat, hawk, magpie etc you will be alright.

Just remember its now custom to make her pay.

Your a Demon and its the bad boys who the Ladies love these days.

If only we were the Vampires we would have it all.

LOL

Make of it what you will, but I guarantee this.

We will beat St Kilda by over 40.

I agree but in which year?

LOL

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    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

The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
