Hi all,

I'm extremely excited with the past weeks progress like all the rest of you. Cant wait for the upcoming seasons being a demons member.

I'm a bit of a rookie to be honest. Last year was my first full year being a member with the club. I only moved to Australia 2 years ago. The problem for me is that the friends I have at work and also out of work all go for other clubs. Im the only demons supporter that I know. Its hard to get people to come to the matches with me as they all think Melbourne is the laughing stock, so quite often I have to go on my own which is kinda boring to be honest. I dont want to give up my membership as the demons are my team! Im not going to change teams like all my friends try and get me to do. I even bought a premium membership so that I could purchase guest passes to try and convince people to come along.... without much luck at all (got one friend to go on 3 seperate occasions).

Id like to try and find a group who go along to the footy to sit with and get amongst. Yes yes I get it sounds desperate but I really dont want to give up my membership or go to the footy on my own so im kinda out of options. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Oh by the way I should probably say im a bloke and 31.

Go DEMONS!

Only joshin, I don't go every week due to coaching commitments and sacrificing my life for the sake of my children.

G'day Burf!

I've got my own crew already (family) but there are two ways you could go about joining up with fellow Demons at the footy.

One is to make friends with the supporters sitting around you - what type of premium member are you? Redlegs? Trident etc..

Also, late last year, there was a group of Demons who organised pre-game get-togethers and then sat with each other at matches, I think wearing red hats or red shirts or similar. They organised this through this message board - I'm not great with the search engine on here but maybe someone from that group will see your post and point you in the right direction.

Dare I ask how you came to be a Demon in the midst of what will go down as one of the club's most disastrous eras?

Regardless of the answer, good to hear you're still on board and have resisted the temptation to switch teams - hopefully your decision will pay dividends soon with some success!

Thanks for the info GrapeViney.... I will look into that and try to find out some more info. I got the premium members package. The problem is that last year the crowd was so sparse because there wasn't really anybody there alot of the time. Just that little bit to far in terms of distance to butt into another group if you know what I mean! Ahhh yes why did I pick the Dee's? Well the first game I saw was the one high point where we beat the bombers. Love the emblem, love the guernsey and just love the club. Good things come to those who wait right?! Even if it's 50 years!

You could head to the Lindsay Hasset room before the game where other Premium members have a drink or a meal. A couple of players come and are interviewed. Everyone is pretty friendly & will always have a chat.

I will go with you if Biff and BBO agree to come along. I would like to see if BBO's avatar is what he claims it is and if Biff really is the degenerate he claims he is. That is if you don't mind going to the footy with a bloke wearing a balaclava and spewing profanities.

Is that the area where the bar is when you go back through the two sliding glass doors?

Mate traditionally sitting in the members was a good enough way to meet people - that's where half my group came from BUT in 2013 no one turned up to games!

out of my group of nine only one other went to more than two games and we never missed a home game between 2004 - 07.

but people stopped going.

next year under roos the members will be busting with people. If your still needing a crew give us a hot but we tend to booze on so be warned.

Will attend a game with you in Range Rover, Ben Hur, Satyrihome or whatever his name is all sit with us. That way whatever action there is on the field will be trumped by the action off it.

There really isn't enough match making on this site! We need to bring together some more demon families over time, keep the blood pure as well like the um oh I can't say that on demonland.

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
