What traditions, celebrations and superstitions do you take into this time of year.

I’ve got a 1980 bottle of MFC premiership port that was given to my late father and at the time we vowed to open it if a GF win ever came our way. 

Would love the chance to crack it open this year. Not sure how it will taste but it would be worth it.

Much to the missus' horror, my full sized flag now hangs from the lace ironwork of upper bedroom window. 

Starting to see some other red & blue about our 'burb.

I am wearing my #positivelingers Tee Shirt and MFC socks for each game.  So far so good

 

The Dees traditionally do a lap of the bullring in the MCC members after a premiership. It won't be happening this year and unbelievably it's not because we won't win the premiership.

I'm not putting up any red and blue decor inside or outside until I know we are in the GF.

MFCSS or superstition?  Either way, don't want to jinx us.

I went nuts on amassing streamers and flags etc. in the weeks leading up to the 2018 prelim. (Still had some from 2000!) The huge box remains untouched since then. I’m so tempted to adorn the outside of my house nowish but don’t wanna tempt fate. 😬

Extremely rare would love to have a bottle of that myself.

Traditionally I'd root for the underdog considering we've only been in two grand finals in my lifetime. 

But, this year, that's flipped on it's [censored] head... We're the anointed ones.

So traditionally when we are favourite, I pace furiously around the room expecting us to lose, with an 8% beer in my hand quarter after quarter.

My wife wants to know if I'm up for watching the Grand Final (she doesn't really care for Football, but understands its an annual ritual in our society and likes to honour it) ... I don't think I could bare to watch the match with anyone else in the same room - if we get to the Grand Final...

 

Signs of the upcoming apocalypse

 

  1. Worldwide pandemic
  2. Global climate change
  3. Demons being good at footy

 

All await the end of days and the rise of the demons!!!!!

Figure none of these players were at Victoria Park, R22 1976. 
None were even born for a VFL Park prelim. 
Bowey wasn’t even born when I queued all night in 2000  

Didn’t feel sorry for any of these guys after I sat thru 186 at Geelong  

New era  - new team

I saw 3 young kids (under 6 I'd say) wearing demons gear at my local park which I have never ever seen before.

A great sign for the future and shows much impact success can have for future members/fans

A nice tradition and good thread

Could you not have a small ('minor') glass now??  :-)

I wear my Melbourne runners for every game

Our sausage dog used to have to wear his demons jumper/ dog coat for evey game.

Sadly he has gone to doggie heaven after attacking too many people.

(Should have called him Toby.)

Aside from that just me wearing my old scarf which I think I will hang out the front soon.

Here in Northern Wollongong it will be unrecognized i guess.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
