Wow and I thought I was cursed.....

I don't mind shelling out once a year, but hopefully its not too much to ask to be in the game at half time, this time round. Shelling out for it to be all over at half time is painful :.)

Not only that - I was at the 2001 Footy Park comeback v the Camry Crows but had to bail early.

I thought we played some outstanding footy on QB against them. I'm hoping no one in the team says we owe them before the game.

Dawes might come out and make a statement with his toothy Adelaide private school accent.

Sends a shiver down your spine.

The same hard hitting lingo used by Alexander Down Syndrome in 25 years of political flouncing, leading to zilch.

I haven't seen a live Dees victory since the 90s.

Thats gotta hurt, Skuit. Its going to be sweet next time for you thats for sure!

For me it was Vs. Adelaide at the MCG in 2005

I like the settled side , give the kids a chance and hopefully clunker/clanger Dawes can redeem.

If you wanted to start dropping blokes for errors etc last week we'd probably have Viney and Gawn v 22.

I haven't seen one ever.

Jeezus!

When an administrator of the clubs main online forum has never seen a win , I reckon that's as big a statement as ever in regards to this clubs recent history. FMD , this club needs to get its [censored] sorted.

I'm going to email the club and ask if they can wear 'Nasher' on their arms next week.

What a [censored] indictment.

It was made clear that he is regaining match fitness via Casey. He played around a half last week and has been named again this week.

I have no problem with this. As much as I want to see Salem in the senior side, it's best to be conservative.

Thanks mate - I've been a bit out of the loop so wasn't sure what's been going on. Have been pretty busy and not really inclined to seek out info on the Dees the last few weeks for obvious reasons so thanks for the heads up.

Such pessimism! There is every chance we will embarrass the Pies this week. Their form has been a bit shaky. Ours has been a little disappointing, I'll admit, but we have not lost five in a row.

Perhaps if we all say the board's prayer:

Our Nathan, who art in the middle,

Hallowed be thy game.Thy clearing run. Thy kick to Viney is direct, As in the game plan.Give us this day our Bernie Vince.And forgive us our turnovers,As we destroy them that wear black and white. And lead us not into hesitation, But deliver the ball quickly. For Hogan is the target,

The Demons, take the glory,

For ever and ever.

Amen

Haha that is brilliant just sent to my family.

And no Oxley.

Given it was Cloke and Oxley that killed us last time, I wonder who it will be this time.

Dunno probably Elliot and Fasolo/Sidebottom.

I haven't seen one ever.

Nasher, my heart broke when i read this.

We've all suffered but at least i got to enjoy the come back against freo in 2008 and the build up in 2000 and the delerium of the first 3 weeks the finals series.

When the ship turns i hope you're still on it.

I'm still worried that the ship is sinking deano!

I must admit, I'm pretty sure it isn't sinking.

Although it is pretty stagnant, adrift if you'd like, and i think our biggest risk is that at some point they'll decide to scuttle it.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
