The vast majority of Dee's fans live in Melbourne and it is hard to reconcile that we won't see Melbouurne awash with Red and Blue as we make our way to the game.  No bbq's with family and mates. No pubs open to scream and holler with fellow supporters. No dancing in the streets if we take home the silverware. It feels a little hollow.

What will you do in this strange year as part of the build up to the big dance?

For regional Vic's like myself or interstaters, are there any venues who will be holding events for those of us who are luckily enough not to be in lockdown ?

    Depending on weather - drive to The Pass and either surf or if unfavourable waves take a ride into the Byron hinterland, coffee at Bayleaf.

    Scarf hanging out in the car window in the traditional manner. Streamers and balloons on our fence.

    Crack a bottle of Bowen Estate or Henschke at half time depending on progress.

    Next morning either an angry ride for a loss or happy ride for win.

    I’ll play it by ear but here’s the most likely way it plays out:

     

    I’ll attempt to drink myself into oblivion on the Friday night in hopes of waking up at 2:30pm on Saturday and most of the waiting behind me. Upon waking up I’ll probably heave, then amble around the block a few times on a run powered entirely by nervous energy. 
    Then it will be a shower and back to the bar fridge for the next 4 hours.

    If we're going to do that, we may as well have the GF at the MCG.

    The rules are there for a reason (even though more than a few don't follow them)

    Yeah I see your point, to be honest we can go to a public place with 1000's of people to get vaccinated but going to a freind shouse to watch a game of football is out of the question, seems mad

    I will be a nervous wreck from the moment I wake until the outcome is incontrovertible.

    I agree it's mad and would've been nice to watch the game with mates.

    But we can't so I won't.

    I might try and brew that day, it will take up a lot of the day and keep me busy. If not I’ll look at ways to be put into a controlled sleep until kick off.

    The opposition leader suggested bringing in a family bubble for GF day. I think that’s a great idea, let’s  see if Dan allows it. Either way, rules will be broken that day.

    In NSW you can get between $300 - $800 for lagging on someone.

    Be glad that my anxiety every game day will be given a rest. Win or lose. 

    You are not alone. The life of a MFC supporters is tough even when we are winning, finished top of the ladder and cruised into a GF.

    I’m going to try and get some Valium or something from my doctor friends. I really think I’ll drop dead if it’s a close game.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
