1. My dad got off a boat from Italy in the mid fifties, when all the Italians went to Carlton, he liked the MCG and started taking me there in 1969. 2. Very first favourite was probably Gary Hardeman

I have the great Norm Smith to thank for becoming a Melbourne supporter. During the Dees golden period in the late 50's & early 60's Smith arranged for an after-match function to be held at the

We as a family came over to Melbourne when the AFL under Ross Oakley decided to destroy our original club Fitzroy. We felt that Melbourne was the parent club of the city we lived in and didn't want to support another suburban club. It's great to have through our own system of seniority 20 premierships, 8 from the Roys and 12 from the Dees. We think we deserve these because we are and were consistent members of both great clubs.

My father wouldn't let us have the telly on because he was a Middlesbrough and soccer supporter who called Australian Rules 'aerial ping-pong'. In 1964 I was caught up in the Ron Barassi celebrity football worship thing and so we would sometimes catch him doing his little TV presentations. My moment of total Dee devotion was capped off when my parents arrived at school one morning unnannounced, with a pair of brand new Ron Barassi footy boots. I then proceeded to wear them round school, stops and all. In those days footy boots had soft pads around the ankle bone, and Barassi boots had RB's signature on each pad. Now my whole family follows the Demons.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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
