I am an extremely passion Dees supporter

We have not won at Etihad in donkeys years

Brisbane are at $2.12 to beat Melbourne

I am a gambling man

I just put $100 on Brisbane to beat Melbourne at $2.12 to pay out $212

If we lose, I win $112

If we win, I will be overjoyed at breaking our Etihad hoo-doo that I will not care about the $100

Am I a bad supporter?

(Have you ever done something similar?)

Dont think you are a bad supporter.

But just to make sure,send me 1,000 dollars and i will guarantee you will be always respected in the DEE community.

You're not a bad supporter. But you may very well be a bad gambler. Not because you might win your bet, but (Warning: moralistic advice follows) gambling should always be dispassionate. Once you allow passion to influence your gambling decisions, you reduce your ability to make sound betting decisions.

Which is why betting on Melbourne when it plays Collingwood will always give you better odds than the game deserves as the bookies lay off the Magpies. Pity Collingwood supporters actually don't have real money - then Melbourne's odds would be even longer.

"sound betting decisions" hmmmm now that is an oxymoron

Nothing bad about that.

I agree re the odds so you have made a good financial decsion based on the facts we know now.

And as you are prepared to lose and be happy the Dees won (if that happens) makes you a very good supporter.

Just give him a few weeks of Saty, Stuie, Ben Hur (where is he BTW?) and the assorted villains of Demonland BBO and he will learn. I used to come on here with pure motives as well you know.

I'd rather sit it out than have a collect against the boys. I couldn't enjoy a $115 collect knowing it had come at the cost of a Demon loss.

if only Frawley was as passionate as you... I would be more than happy to collect knowing the boys lost, I'm just not into gambling... Edited by tatu

Congrats on the collect - a smart financial decision.

You probably feel awful like I and no doubt many other fair dinkum Demons fans do - but at least you have got something out of the wreck. All I have got is the sickest feeling in my stomach - no doubt plenty of others feel the same.

Yep you are probably spot on "Bitter but optimistic". After today I want to smash everything in sight.

    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
