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.

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders. Windsor's run won't be lost playing off half back. In 19 games in 2024 he kicked 8 goals as a winger. I see him getting shots at g

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
