Demons season opener v Saints

[Weedster 174]

I have been told by a Saints supporter who attends trainings and stuff that Gilbert is a long show and Fisher is very underdone and without our big gun forwards he doubts they will risk him,

massive hole in a side isn't it, Hayes, Dal Santo, Montagna, Wellar, Stevens, Goddard, that's a very good AFL midfield not playing

Hogan, Dawes, Clark, Garland, Viney, Jamar

Very much a line ball in outs.

Gotta stay positive

[Canberra Demon 159]

I'll be ordering in a nice woodfired pizza, and ripping open a couple of sparkling ales, all in the comfort of my living room here in Sydney... at least this year I only have to wait until the 6th April before myself and my son can see them play at Spotless Stadium (Homebush) - free tickets already confirmed by MFC, so lets hope they were worth the money.

Ill be at the SCG watching the baseball getting heckled by my mates everytime i check my phone for the scores..

There is a difference Weedster only one of those ( Garland ) was a regular contributor last year.

I think if you look at the Saint losses they are all guys that have played big numbers in recent years and are among their better players.

If we cannot beat this Saints side then things will be very glum.

I've only ever attended a baseball game once... Fukuoka Daiei Hawks (now Softbank Hawks) at Fukuoka Dome (Kyushu) and was so bored I retired to the bar and drunk myself stupid (ok, I admit I had a head start of the stupid part).

I had a similar experience in Chicago hardtack.

However I think it is like cricket I think you have to be born to it.

I can see why people love it but not me.

[McQueen 17,864]

Not in WA this year McQ? We had something like 7 years of that prior to last year - and when they finally got a game at Skoda, they screwed up the mailing of the member tickets (that is, they didn't get sent).

Round 22 against Meth Coast from memory

Gee, I need to study the fixture more closely. Round 22 it is.

Have a sickening feeling it'll either be a frustrating close loss or a definitive victory.

Ah the joys of being a Melbourne supporter.

attended a handful of games in US and Canada...enjoyed them...Sort of a carnival atmosphere .

amazing also to think that you can ask for a 'dog' pass you money down the line and it'll come back , "dog and change" no probs....mind you same ppl could mug you outside but in the park...all's cool

After the last two years C and B I don't think dees supporters rule anything except big wins out.

[old dee 23,298]

But I would like to find out.

Watts to HFF makes sense, not sure on bail

In the outer with us?

[Bitter but optimistic 21,610]

How many of you effers are going? Crowd estimate please?

BTW Me and Stuie will be sitting together. You'll recognise us - there will be lots of arse patting and joking around. I will want to buy the beers but Stuie wont let me.

[Return to Glory 7,869]

Will be there BBO with a crowd of Melbourne and StKilda mates. Will commence my light hearted 'Milne is a vicious unrepenting rapist' banter 10 minutes prior to the game.

No need for the light hearted RTG. You might as well enjoy yourself!

[Return to Glory 7,869]

I will, of course, be squeezing Kim Duthie into any conversation.

[Biffen 12,567]

Most of the Gat are backing the Saints so I am taking even money bets.

[dees189227 11,397]

Yep im going. I must admit I will be a bit nervous in what will unfold. Last year r1 we all rocked up expecting to win because well we thought we were playing an easy team with a new coach who were a basket case. 2 hours later how wrong we were.

The thing is we are in a no win situation with the media. If we win then journos will just name all the saints players that were missing and if we lose it will be the same old melbourne again.

It would just be great to have a win r1 and see the boys walk off happy.

Are there welfare payments this week Biff?

[GrandOld 367]

Am going 100%, would love to rack up a win
