Hi. I'm from the UK, just moved to south east melbourne to be with mrs. I've been here over a year now, taking in a handful of games. I have family here as well, all Saints fans. Naturally, I kind of got drawn/pushed to be a Saints fan over the course of last season, and for xmas, without asking was bought a saints membership, guernsey etc. Now the thing is, I kind of really like Melbourne. I like the colours, a few players, the long-suffering nature (also true with Saints!). I went to saints/demons game last season, and kind of went for saints, but i was with all the afore-mentioned people. I don't know what to do! It's hard to 'choose' a team when you are new to a sport, and i would feel bad if i upset those who got me all the saints gear! But I just can't help but like the Demons!

How do I make the decision?!

    Seeing as you posted here, I think you already know your choice.

    Welcome to the MFC!

    Buy a bottle of red, drink it slowly, savour the elements that provide pleasure, repeat,repeat, repeat.

    Wake up with a hangover and realise you will still drink wine , support dees.

    Wake up next decide never to drink again, support saints

     

    Good luck!

    You've answered your own question: You love the Dees.

    Welcome to the fold, PommyRules - it's the perfect time to jump onboard!

    St Kilda had their chance for a Flag in 2009 & 2010. Dees haven't even been in the finals since 2006. We were the first club, suffering the longest flag drought. If there's a movie featuring an AFL underdog, it should be about us. 

    St Kilda is my second team so I understand the appeal. But my heart beats true.

    mate. as a new south welshman, i moved to melbourne in 09 and had to choose a team.. like you i liked the jumper, history and underdog status of the oldest club, but far out! don't expect too much joy. the few moments of joy that i've had though have been glorious! i cannot imagine how it'd feel to win the GF. stick with the dees mate. it'll be a shakespearean ride

    Depends, if you like setting dwarves on fire... go for the saints.

    If you don’t, welcome to the Dees!

    I say you should barrack for the Demons.

    I also say if you wish to stay a Melbourne man, stay away from Demonland. While we have a rep of being the club of choice for silvertails, public school students, members of the Savage/Melbourne club and blokes who bring cheese platters to the footy, the collection of weirdos and social misfits who post here will have  you running out of the room with your hair on fire.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
