Do others recommend going without any Melbourne gear on? I only ever take a beanie and scarf at most.

Fair dinkum, we're not talking about the Chelsea Head-Hunters circa 1984 here, it's the city of churches. 

Wear your scarf and beanie with pride if you've got any cojones! If we win, you'll regret it if you don't have your colours on!

Is it really that bad!?  Like fear for your safety bad?

 

Many years ago was in Adelaide on a Basketball Carnival 

Eight of Us all over 6 ft wearing Victorian Jackets went to a game Fitzroy vs  Crows 

If Crows hadn't won doubt we would have got out of there without a punch up

Police virtually  gave us an escort out and not  because we were aggressive but Crows supporters were

I'm sure you'll be fine mate. 

I managed to survive a punch-on in the middle of the Collingwood cheersquad after the QB draw in 2010 - you'll make it out of the Adelaide Oval alive I'm sure!

Went to a Dees v Crows game at Moron park about 10-11 years ago.  Sat behind the goals in the Melbourne cheersquad.  Dees got smashed, but they put on an after match function in a room on the wing somewhere.  About 200 of us needed a police escort to walk (inside the ground) from behind the goals to the function.  We (all 200 of us) were basically abused all the way around.

I also got shat on by a seagull.  They call that "good luck".  I thought it was more bad luck actually.

I am going to throw caution to the wind and wear my scarf. My better half will protect me. She is fearsome.

I have been to many a game in Adelaide (since I live here), and I have never - ever - had a problem.

Be Loud Be Proud, but don't be a Moron and try and pick a fight and you'll be just fine.

A former work colleuge from Adelaide once told me it's not a good idea to park a car with Victorian plates at a Port game without having a compressor to pump up your tyres after the game.

If we win this game, the season will be a win.

A loss, and it will have slipped through our fingers, even though the future is so bright.

An awesome finish to the season could really speed up the rise to the top.

I've lived in Adelaide for 3 years and attended  every Demons game there without incident wearing my Dee's Jacket, Beanie and Scarf!

I've had some great fun and sang the song full voice on the way out of the ground  a few years ago when we beat Adelaide under Roo's !!

I enjoy going to the footy at Adelaide Ova, it's a great facility and it's a atmosphere , the notion that the Adelaide/Port supporters are ferals that prey on anyone in an opposition piece of clothing is just ridiculous.

We usually head back to the Lord Mebourne pub on Melbourne street for a few beverages after the game.

You'll be fine to enjoy your game people!

You haven't lived until you've sat in the middle of the Port cheer squad, cheering for the other team.

I only survived because I was with my Port supporting boyfriend.

The relationship did not survive.

    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
