At least when Dictator Dan locks us down.constantly we don't need to worry about having no home base and where we would go to celebrate after a premiership. 

Well aren’t you just one big bucket of fun!

 

I’ve promised to wear my hair in Sailor Moon buns for a week if we do. Even though my boss would be furious, it’s a bet I’ve promised to do.

One brother has promised to get a demons tattoo on his bum, the other has pledged not to go to work for a week.

We’re a crazy family 

I'd be getting a tattoo of an iconic moment in the granny... think Jones celebration pic during the elimination final v Geelong. 

Then I'd buy as much 2021 demons merchandise as humanly possible.

Then I'd buy the 2022 jumper because we would have the gold afl logo. 

Then I'd renew my membership for the whole fam. 

 

Then id probably have some divorce papers to read through.


I'd offer to overdub the grand final DVD with commentary of my own for free. Which would be marginally more informative than the channel 7 nuffies but with more slurring in the second half.

I’ll enthusiastically say “yes!” and pump my fist. 
 

Wild scenes. 

 

I've spend the best part of 58 years expending emotional and spiritual energy on this mostly disfunction organisation. It's easily the longest relationship of my life. And i don't even wanna think about the money i've poured into the joint, one disaster after another. So a premiership would barely balance the scales. Having said that, I'll be buying all the relevant merch . . . it's what people in long-term, codependent relationships do.

Typo

Paint my truck red and blue and splash MFC advertising all over it.

Personally though, I would cry for Robbie.


I've already discussed with a friend whose partner is a tattooist to get my ink ready. I've even got a design picked out.

Disobey stay at home orders and run nude down the street 

At least keep a mask on for the benefit of public health. In fact, maybe a second mask as well, you know, also for the benefit of the public.

As for me... I reckon I might convince my wife/her family to do a Vietnamese match commentary and crowd noise. The 95% of relatives back in Vietnam are all heavily locked down so it might be a fun family project that would also make them all understand football. :D

EDIT: I brought it up and she declared the plan has to be for ME to do the commentary in Vietnamese! Now we're talking a serious commitment.

its not what I could do for the club, but what the club could do for us.

if we were to salute, and after all this time, we couldn't be there, then I want the cup to visit my (every members) house. (Iets not worry about logistics)

I want the opportunity to lift it above my head, drink champagne from it, put my baby in it, kiss it, hold it and shed a tear. it would be the next best thing to being there IMO.

The imagery could be used for next years membership campaign

What would I do for the club? [censored] all!

We've stuck through with them in the dark days, the horrific days and even the Mark Neeld days.

I would accept a thank you from the club for sticking around when many have dropped off

I would celebrate like a maniac and buy my membership for next year and cheer my guts out like usual

This would be a cool Tatt

This Demon was found in Twisties Packets in the 60’s. So the card was always yellow, but he has always been a favourite Demon

Last week I saw a bloke in Ivanhoe on Channel 7 news had painted a mural on his house of Gawny, Kossie and Trac. His daughter put him up to it (are you on DL????). It was magnificent.

My wife told me not to get any ideas, but I could totally see my house painted in red and blue (they are my two favourite colours after all)

If you’re assuming that currently lockdown conditions exist (really hope it doesn’t) I will run to just about every corner of my 5km radium wearing red and blue head to toe screaming like a lunatic. If I get stopped I’ll say I’m doing exercise. 

FWIW I’m hoping that should we get to that final day in September by that stage there will be restrictions that have eased for outdoor gatherings and that the club maybe be able to organise outdoor viewing locations in parts of Melbourne such as Casey, next to AAMI, and maybe fed square. If the AFL were really fair they would make if free but ticketed and available to members of the two teams playing first.

Drive around Perth in a ‘borrowed’ work car with the red and blue lights going.

Will cry like a baby. 

....& probably over Gosch's Paddock (permitted exercise?) to qualify as doing 'something for the club'.

Oh whoops, asking what I’d do FOR THE CLUB? Honestly I don’t think I’d do much for them except get as much Melbourne garb out the front of the house to let everyone know how proud I am. And honestly if people wanted to take stuff I probably wouldn’t be upset with that!

I actually don’t know what I would do, as years of my youthful exuberance gave way I think it would be like winning lotto, something you hope happens but not believing it actually will.

 I know I would have a decent drink, but not sure what my initial reaction would be, a mixture of overwhelming joy, relief and shock.

 I honestly thought in 87 after watching us at the G in the first final against North we were on such a run, we were going to win it beating whoever was in front of us, but alas it didn’t happen. 98 again I thought we were a chance but the old finals system and White going down at the wrong time didn’t help. I knew in 88 and 2000, something special needed to occur but on both occasions that was snuffed out by halftime. In 2018, I knew we were cooked going into the Prelim, that was evident against the Hawks the previous week that the tank was almost empty.

This season I have seen a very different defensive structure like never before, but like others I just don’t know if we’ll do it. Hopefully I find out, what my reaction to winning the flag will be

Would you be inspired to make a cash donation? If so, what sort of amount? Buy extra memberships? Upgrade current memberships? Grand final guarantee?

Me, i would go absolutely NUTS on commemorative merchandise. The drunker i got the more i would spend. Perhaps even a tatt to celebrate.

How far would you go after a flag?

When my maker comes for me, I could finally die a happy man with no regrets.

I’m already over $600 deep in a membership that meant i sat in my reserved seat once this year, and wont get to any finals.  I have no income in lockdown and wonder more about getting through than what i can give to the footy club.

Did we win?

I've taken some inspiration from this thread. I'd definetly get a high quality poster framed of the iconic moment. 

Would have to get the jumper for next year so i can have the gold logo, i did it when Liverpool won the league.

Other than that, i already pay for a membership, purchased a proud to give jumper and dropped 200$ as a bonus donation.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

  • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
