Hi all,

Does anyone know if the above Demon Supporters bus still operates? 

Why don't you ring the membership line - 1300 366 667 - and ask them if they know of a supporter bus coming from down that way. There used to be a supporter bus I think from the Bendigo area and the Gippsland area. They might be able to put you in contact with one of the supporter groups.

Thanks for that suggestion.

Nah mate, that was the reality bus.   It was what it was.

In that case, it was hijacked by Patrick Dangerfield while making his unscheduled exit from Central Reserve, Colac. 

The good news is that the club will have it fully operational for Round 1 and Dangerfield is not on the passenger list.

I would suggest getting a ride with a Geelong supporter.  Hopefully it will be a very enjoyable ride home!  As a kid, I remember doing the Cattery run with a cocky Geelong supporter from Melbourne.  He crowed all the way down.  When we won, us Melbourne supporters grinned from ear to ear the whole way back - didn’t say a word, but didn’t need to!

Thought about that. They're actually running the Portarlington ferry from Geelong to Docklands with a special tram to the G. Trouble is, if we win it's like being in a funeral procession coming home and if we lose you have to put up with a constant, non_stop commentary of how great so and so played and the patronizing "don't worry-youse will come good soon". Rather be with fellow crazed demons singing the Grand Old Flag all the way home. I'll wait for Danelska who is kindly chasing up a phone number for me.

I have done the OG/Geelong bus a few times back in the Bailey days. You would be surprised with the amount of Demons in that neck of the woods but I guess it makes sense if you consider the amount of sea change retirees down there.

Though by the time you hit the City of Geelong, the number of boarding passengers tends to get fewer and fewer!

Yes, the number of Demon car stickers you see around Geelong & the Bellarine has increased quite rapidly in the past few years. If this keeps up the Geelong Advertiser may even discover that other teams actually exist and have players that aren't named Ablett, Dangerfield or Selwood.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
