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˜€

    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: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.Ā

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sundayā€™s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this yearā€™s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last seasonā€™s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourneā€™s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
