    No-one has mentioned 'The Invincible Whites'.

    I agree that 'The Dees' is less than robust. Wimpy even.

    I always thought calling our team the "Dees" showed a tough but humorous attitude actually, so liked it a lot. You all know what a "D" is an abbreviation for in America right?

    Checker Hughes would be turning in his grave if he heard supporters/media referring to his "Mighty Demons" as anything but the Demons i would reckon.

    I support Munga all the way and never refer to our team as anything but "the Demons" or "The mighty Demons.

    Shame on anyone who uses the other limp wristed term... cringeworthy :-P

    Last year a friend of mine and long time Demons supporter was calling them the "not so mighty demons." Under the circumstances I think she was right. Hopefully tonight with back to back wins at the MCG we can put that name to bed.

    When I went to the footy regularly i started a campaign in opposition to the chant which every club had

    collingwood clap clap clap

    richmond clap clap clap

    west coast clap clap clap

    and interrupted there chant with a GO DEES found it very satisfying

    collingwood GO DEES clap clap clap

    you can then continue the GO DEES at different syncopations to disrupt any opposition supporters cheers and also to match the pace of the game.Was a great build up in passage of play GODEES,GO DEES, GO DEES (like a steam train engine gathering power) with an exhortation of triumph and relief when the score was achieved DEEEMONS.

    I guess you had to be there!

    When you pass people on the way to the game wearing your guernsey or your scarf, almost without exception you hear "Go Dees!" or "Carn the Dees!".

    It's entrenched. Like the Pies. Or the Tiges. And I wouldn't want it to change even if it could be.

    We are the Melbourne Demons and we wear navy blue with a red yoke. If any of those aspects of our identity disappear, our victories become that much less meaningful.

    A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but that is not the case in the world of sport.

    The only thing I rail against Chook is the colour red we use.

    Beyond I honestly have low care about.

    Oh one more

    STOP losing

    With the onset of creeping secularism, "Demons" has become a softer term, associated with nerds playing fantasy games on their computers. We need something that will genuinely inspire fear. The Funnel Webs, the Taipans, the Bull Sharks, the Hippos, the Merchant Bankers, the Feminazis. We could try that last one out tonight

    Why not really tap into modern fears and call ourselves the fundamentalists?

    Well this thread is like a poll without running a poll and the overwhelming response seems to be that 'Dees" is well accepted by our own. Perhaps one poster was correct in saying that once we start plying and winning like Demons, Dees will take on a whole different connotation.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
