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.

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

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
