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.

    I listened to a femaleĀ Collingwood fan cry on radio with Whateley yesterday when she recalled watching Tracs interview post match on Sat night.Ā 

    It was very moving and I'm rapt to have others jump on our wagon!Ā

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... itā€™s time to discuss this weekā€™s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliverā€™s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line ā€¦ Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the clubā€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubā€™s perspective, and the teamā€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonā€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed ā€” roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.Ā  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
