hi fellow Demons, 1st time long time !

Quick Dee background - 1st footy memory was sitting in change rooms as an 8 yo before a game in 64 (dad was a friend of an ex-player who took us in) chatting to RDB, my elder brother was sitting with his hero Brian Dixon. Went every week until I was about 16, then spent next 20 years playing and only seeing the Dees once or twice a year until I finally retired from playing. Then re-started my passion for the Dees, so have certainly been through the journey as we all have !

The article below highlights the bad hand the AFL always dished up to us with regards to fixtures etc.. It was published after the 2009 draw came out and we were stitched up yet again, but the picture tells a good story.

The photo was from yet another Sunday arvo game early in 2008 (r8 I think), looking towards the AFL members area. The forlorn looks on the faces of the diehards (yes, I am in the photo :)) is because at that stage of the game early in the 3rd we were down by about 9 goals against Freo . If the picture had've been taken an hour later it would've shown us all jumping up and down like complete fools because we were all still there at the end and WE BLOODY WON  !!!

    Welcome.

    Fancy Caro sticking up for the MFC.  

    When our golden era ended I got the impression that the VFL/AFL was very happy to see us out the door and perhaps this is also reflected in the zones we were given.

    Our home ground had the largest capacity and we drew a small crowd.  What a waste says the AFL. Get the MFC to play at small grounds - their supporters wont complain not being able to get into another drubbing.  Always play at geelong - only teams who are crap play there (ground cant hold a big crowd.) (I think my chip is showing)

    And as for Freo....'We are Freo,  We are Hopeless' and 'Lets go Freo, lets go Home!!!' - for me thats being extremely nasty...

    Keep the faith

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Recent meetings between Melbourne and Carlton have developed a striking and somewhat familiar narrative, underscored by a series of closely contested encounters ultimately decided by narrow margins. The Blues have won out on each of the past four occasions:-

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      Melbourne’s early surge of optimism came crashing back to reality in its clash with Fremantle at Optus Stadium on Saturday night. Just six days after unveiling its fun-filled, attack-minded style against the Saints, the Demons were met by a Dockers outfit determined to shut it down with a blend of speed, pressure, and physicality.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      The Casey Demons faced a tough first up task taking on reigning VFL premiers Footscray at Mission Whitten Oval. The Bulldogs, who unfurled their premiership flag pre-game, had 15 AFL-listed players and their top VFL talent available, setting them up for their 15th consecutive win.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      The Demons were fumbly, inefficient, outrun and outgunned all over the field as they went down to the Dockers by 48 points at Optus Stadium in Perth.
