Well, I had a crap day.  The footy sucked. Blundstone Arena sucks.  How good is it that there are seats where it's physically impossible for 7 year olds to see? And which quarter would you like to miss while you get food? Such a [censored] game day experience.

Then Demonland crashed after the game.  Brilliant!

I totally agree about Blundstone Nasher.  We flew down from Canberra, and our reserved seating was abysmal.  Three rows back and it almost seemed like we were sitting below the horizon.  Half of our group migrated to the standing room area to get a bit of elevation so that we could actually watch what was happening on the field, and the rest of us watched most of the game on the large screen immediately behind us. You would need 20/20 vision to see anything meaningful on the small screen opposite, and even then I reckon you would struggle.  Very disappointing, and not up to standard as an AFL venue.

Yeah, and we played crap as well.

Needless to say, we were not a happy group as we left one carpark, only to join another one for what must have been an hour because some traffic lights were malfunctioning and there were no coppers on duty establish any sort of order in proceedings.

Anyway, at least we didn't have to go home and implement a 'recovery plan' to get Demonland back on line.  Many thanks for your efforts on that front!

Oh, and congratulations on your outstanding weather forecasting prowess.  Far better than the BOM, and it came with a guarantee several days out IIRC.

I just finally got to the point of being able to come on here (needed a good 24 hours to wallow). Turns out I didn't miss much!

Thanks for your efforts as always. Could definitely have happened at a worse time.

I got caught in that traffic too deeoldfart,  traffic lights flashing Amber all around the ground , took me an hour to move about 500 metres.... Flashbacks of VFL Park with 80,000!

Shocking game day experience all round!

Watched the game a couple of Suburbs away and decided to aggressively walk home and check out the demonland post game thread. The showers started as soon as I stepped out the door. The rain steadily increased and by the time I rounded my Street corner it was torrential, people took shelter under shop fronts and I suspect I looked a bit of a goose in my dress shorts and a shirt as I power walked back into the wind and rain. I was punishing myself and was almost enjoying it. I arrived home, dripping wet, put the key in the gate and the rain stopped, I looked in the direction the weather comes from and there it was, blue sky, "yeah fn right" I said to myself and had to chuckle. My mood was lifted, demonland was down and I spent the rest of the arvo and evening feeling not too bad!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    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
