LUNA PARK FAMILY DAY - Sunday, 16 February, 2014

I went and got there just before 10. I wondered around for a bit and tried to stay dry. Couldn't get into the white castle thingy because they had closed it off because the players were going to speak shortly. My Carlton supporting nephew came with us and could only get on 1 ride because of the queues. I managed to get some signatures on the posters you could get. Got Jonsey who is just the nicest guy and Roosy who was by the stage when the players were introduced and he was still signing stuff so he stayed to the end.

Got Crossy and Vince who were in a marquee. Surprisingly the line wasnt to long. The Melbourne woman told them they had to leave the tent to go to the castle thing as they were all being introduced soon. Bernie said well can you tell that to the people in the line so we dont look rude when we walk off.

All the boys seemed in a great mood and I think winning friday night had helped memberships with the momentum still going.

We do it to different clubs it seems when the coach speaks. Ive noticed at other family days the coach speaks after the players are introduced. We interview the coach separately. A lot of people would have missed out hearing from Roos.

The most interesting thing he said was he was surprised by how many people have been at training watching and at the intra club game. He said there would have been more people there than at training when sydney made the 2005 GF.

I didnt see PJ. I would have thanked him as well. Robbo is a good MC but geez he loves the sound of his own voice.

But it was a good day.

Speaking of kids, the MFC got a new member today, my latest grandson who I registered as a baby Demon (he's seven month old).

In going through my membership package to find a form to register him, I found the brochure the club sent to members with their season's tickets and right there in the middle of the box "Play a Role - Demon Heartland" is a picture of my oldest grandson wearing his Demons guernsey and pumping his fist. The photo was taken before the Gold Coast Suns game early last season. It's safe to day he'll have more opportunities to enjoy the Dees in 2014 than last year.

Just received a phone call from MFC telling me that I won 2nd prize at the family day. A 2014 signed jumper, which I should receive mid march. So freaking stoked

What, you are selling it?

Never say never but I think I'll hold onto it. Only problem is that I have no where to hang it. Plus I have no idea what they would be worth. Any idea?

Unlike the last few years, hopefully it is worth more at the end of the season.

Depends on whether it is the first 'team signed jumper' of the new and glorious era. That could make it pretty valuable in a few years time.

Appreciating asset, hold on to it for now. ;)

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.
