“Winning” is the new drug


DeesignerAU

Recommended Posts

Melbourne winning games is a like a drug. 

I think we’ve all felt that feeling after a win, that euphoria, the feeling that the Dees are unbeatable and craving for more - it becomes addictive. 

Many of us hunt articles about the win, reading every word as though it’s our last and when there’s nothing left to read we are desperate for more.

Hopefully my new little project can help save you - but be warned, it’s as addictive as Demonland.

Please visit https://www.myheartbeatstrue.com/

It’s your one-stop shop for news, podcasts, videos, forums and more - all Dees related. Best of all it’s all free and I’ve done all the leg work, you just need to turn up and indulge.

Please share it and bookmark it. 

I welcome feedback

Thanks.

A very good friend of mine set this up. In many cases it can locate an article within 15 minutes of it being uploaded and it's where I first read the latest about our new training facility next to AAMI Park. If you only want to read / watch / listen to Dees related content and not the hoi polloi sitting under us on the ladder then it's a great reference point.

Love it.

Some first impressions feedback:

  • On the smartphone app the MFC news comes first. Personally i would put all the aggregated 'other' news (eg age/HUN articles about the dees) first and MFC stuff last
  • Why? becuase i would go the MFC website for all that stuff (and their videos, podcast etc etc) ie it is already aggregated (and can pop it on autoplay) - which i can't do obviously for news from multiple media outlets  
  • In fact i would consider not having any official MFC stuff on there as there is heaps and it is distracts from all the other stuff (and from a club perspective they may prefer not to lose traffic to their site?)
  • the videos i would like aggregated in one spot is the YouTube channels that have bespoke edits of games, shows, clips etc etc. Lace out is an excellent example
  • I might of missed it, but if not, i would absolutely put up a link to the Dees bible - Demonwiki

Thanks for the feedback - I'll take it all under consideration.

I think its great, maybe too great? Will it take traffic away from Demonland and thus advertising dollars which help keep the site afloat? I realise there are links to Demonland so you can also argue the reverse i guess.

Im not really sure how these things work?

Great work.

Thanks for the support and feedback so far.

I've added some new content sources, re-arranged the feeds on the front page (less focus on the more popular content) and added some custom content (edited versions of the original video without the content from the other teams/games).

If you see something you think I should include, shoot it through. Thanks

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
