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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    PREGAME: Rd 18 vs Essendon

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
