Places not to go as a dees fan

Number 1 on the list has to be the North Melbourne big footy forum. I was just there. I feel decidedly duller for having read some of that drivel. The vitriol they spew is staggering when you consider their miserable history of low achievement. 

Bomberblitz ( or whatever they call themselves now ) just as bad. Perhaps a higher average IQ.

I went once to Victoria Park and stood in front of the Social club watching the dees salute. That was tough as I dared not open my usually big mouth. I had to pretend to be upset at the result.

Linton street, Moorabbin was dangerous in the old days, not so much because of the footy but because my siblings and I used to steal half empty lemonade bottles from between the feet of the Saints fans in the outer to take them to the milk bar for the refunds. We made a fortune from it( we were good )

I went to the old Victoria Park oval one particular day, after a few frothies, with a couple of other Dees supporters and stood in front of the stand surrounded by Pies supporters and gave it too them all day, foolish move and on reflection I was lucky to have left with my teeth intact. We won and I was even worse after that.

Went to Linton street with a few guys, one of which was a Saints member, we had had a belly full of beer and I made a complete prat of myself singing the Melbourne song in the social club rooms after we beat them, It was a stupid and ungracious thing to do and I apologised to my friend a few day later.

To the other side of the Yarra.

Except to get to the G.

Luckily it is only just the other side, if it was much further I would ignore its existence as I do with everything else out that way.

Live in and grew up norf of the Yarra. Can confirm it's hostile territory for Melbourne supporters. Mates are split between Carlton, Essendon and Collingwood.

Same same for me as well. If only the MCG was Bayside. I know that's selfish.

Smack bang in the middle of the Eagles members after McDonald kicks the winning goal. 

I would not be able to contain myself. I know a couple of eagle supporters here and I thought Geelong and Hawthorn supporters were smug.

Vic park was the worst of the grounds. I remember going there with a couple of collinwood mates as a guest in the stand behind the nothern end goals. Luckily they were playing I think Sth Melb but the crowd was a disgrace. Spitting on the opposition coach was something I saw which blew me away. I think the last time we played there we won and they were on top of the ladder ( 94?) and I left very qiuckly with my scarf tied under my jumper.

T he next worse was Windy Hill. Full of essenscum supporters who were a stage above Richmond barrackers because they could pronounce the letter F.

I was taken to the Whorethorn Social Club about a week after the '88 GF

I still get horrendous Flashbacks

Smug Bastards...

Was married to a hawks supporter  in the late 70s and 80's and had to go back to that place after every game we played against them. Except once when we almost beat them when Flower kicked a few in the last quarter. Tuck got a lucky free  and they just fell over the line to win. I gave them hell and said they will never win the flag that year which they didn't.  On the way out of the G I went for a slash and when I came out they had all gone.  Left me there so didn't have to go back to to the social club. Ya!!

Anywhere this year with some demons colours on. Apparently we are all bandwagoners and "coming out of the woodwork". 

lol I know right?

Been getting to as many games as possible for the last 15 years, but now all of a sudden I'm just on the bandwagon.

The luck that club has had, since Smithy taught John Kennedy all he knows is quite incredible. We must get back on our feet and stand strong

Year after Year....

Yes, I got that comment thrown at me on the TIO ground immediately after the game in Darwin of all places, and from a North Melb supporter - go figure!

He also asked me how the snow was in Buller, and I said, "I don't effing know, I'm here in Darwin supporting the Dees, having made the trip from North Melb, where I live!"

I mentioned to him smugly the Roy Morgan research paper (about how loyal Dees' supporters are), then casually had a shot for goal from Jayden's flank outside 50 with my daughter's ball and popped it straight through the middle. (Ok, it was 30 metres out, but on a similar angle.) 

He gave me a modicum of respect after that.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
