Sorry, Iā€™m another voice for ā€œall welcomeā€. Why be picky?

Especially anyone who happens to live in Adelaide who might want to barrack for ā€œnot Portā€, and might like to adopt a certain minor premiership team who look like making SA home for the final seies. Crows fans should get around us!

    They've got 2/3rds of our colours already, they HATE Port more than many could imagine, and our coach was one of their all-time greats. Get around us Crows fans. šŸ˜€

    Not sure, but we dont want trolls. Getting a bit of love from friends who have had success because they appreciate the waitĀ

    It was once explained to me that Adelaide Crows were 'the Demons of Adelaide' with regards to their fans being less demographicly challenged. Port Adelaide on the other hand......

    I don't care to know any detail nor have confirmation but to Adelaide in general..... CLIMB ABOARD!!!!!!

    As we will be playing every finals match away from our home ground and state, we need as manyĀ people as possible to jump on board, attend the match and make some noise.

    I have had so much goodwill and support from supporters of the Saints, Norf, the Blues...yes the Blues, even Geelong over the past 24 hours that is actually quite moving. There are plenty of people who support non-finals clubs who are happy to see the Dees finally doing well that I think is fantastic.

    We should embrace the mood. We win one, and people will ride with us. Two might be a problem, but people who know Demons supporters who have stuck through thick and thin want to see us go on and are literally on our side.

    Notably, no Hawthorn supporters have come out to support me, but that's just what I'd expect. Anyone else, jump on!

    They will come out of the woodwork for this one with the common links between the clubs.

    Demons and Redlegs unite as one for its a grand old flag for the teams of the red and the blue.

    The more the merrier I say. Having said that, Iā€™ve noticed quite a few oppositionĀ supporters on Twitter wanting us to choke. We have long been the whipping boy for opposition supporters and one team that they love to call a rabble. Some people canā€™t stand the perennial losers startingĀ to win and be successful as they fear their team will take that mantle.

    Iā€™m expecting no love from Freo, Carlton, Essendon, SaintsĀ and Pies supporters.

    I think it's funny because I heard so many in the MCC bellyache in 2018 how they had to line up in the finals. Too many old supporters like their creature comforts of walking up 10 minutes before the bounce knowing their seat is their every game day. 57 years without silverware will do that.Ā 

    With success comes more bums on seats and clubs don't survive without supporter growth. AFL is a business after all. We play to a schedule, not a draw.Ā

    Honestly, the number of people from other clubs who have told me that if it can't be their team this year they want it to be the Dees is ridiculous.Ā  There is so much good will towards this team right now.Ā  Everyone can see how hard they have worked and how much it means to them. If it means that the neutral crowds interstate are going to be cheering them on, I'm all for it.Ā  Jump on the bandwagon and help lift them to a flag.Ā

    I must be a [censored] then. After reading everyones thoughts. I thoroughly blame he 70, 80, 90 ,00 and the last 10 years for my attitutde ofn hate. Well put it this way, if we win noone will enjoy the party like only us can. Maybe that is a bit nicer. '

    Actually if I see a Hawthorn supporter reveling in our journeyĀ they can definitely go and suck a fat one. And Essendon.

    This seems a strange way to think, when we will almost certainly be relying on either Adelaide or Perth club supporters to wave our flag come Grand Final day.

    A lot of my close friends are footy mad. All of them have said that if their team can't win itĀ they are fully on the Melbourne bandwagon... maybe because they know how happy it will make me, but also because of the fairytale notion of it.Ā 

    In fact my Essendon mate said that since he knows they can't win it this year, that he is backing in the Dees, although his Swans mad wife is going to divorce him for doing that.Ā

    All aboard!!!!

    This is how we win new fans and get kids on board for the life journey.

    This is how we move from a minnow (sob) club back to a powerhouse.

    All aboard!!!

    Ā 

    No-one cares, but I've had no empathy or good will from my footy supporting mates. They're all too concerned with their clubs (none playing finals) to give a rats about the Mighty Demons.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old sideā€”the Tigersā€”coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking?Ā I mean by ā€œtheyā€ the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.Itā€™s no secret that the Demonsā€™ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack.Ā Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryanā€™s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winningĀ 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
