How I feel about other supporters who want to jump on our journey

Sorry, I’m another voice for “all welcome”. Why be picky?

Especially anyone who happens to live in Adelaide who might want to barrack for “not Port”, 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. 😀

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!!!!!!

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!

Any chance SANFL Norwood supporters will turn up on Saturday night to give us some support?

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, I’ve noticed quite a few opposition 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 can’t stand the perennial losers starting to win and be successful as they fear their team will take that mantle.

I’m expecting no love from Freo, Carlton, Essendon, Saints 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. 

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.

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.  There is so much good will towards this team right now.  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.  Jump on the bandwagon and help lift them to a flag.

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 journey 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.

 

Everyone is welcome I say.

A lot of my close friends are footy mad. All of them have said that if their team can't win it 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. 

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.

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!!!

 

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.

57 years etc

I'm gonna assume you're too young to remember 1987 when we made finals after 26 years of [censored]. 

As we progressed it seemed like the whole city was on board with us....and it felt great

Embrace the positives WoK, even the bandwagoners. You'll enjoy the ride even more

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
