Hello My Demon Friends,

Scotty here from the friendly confines of Bomberblitz.

First things first, congratulations on a very well deserved premiership. 

Now for why I am actually here. It's been a few years since we have played you guys in a forum footy game and I was wondering if there was still interest here.

The last few years in February we have played an intra-blitz(plus ring ins to boost numbers) game and raised money for charity along the way. Players just donate any amount to play we've had donations of 50 cents and we've had donations of 500 dollars. In 2020 we raised 1500 for bushfire relief and 2021 we raised closed to 800 to support meansline. 

I wanted to make Neil's MND charity our 2022 (restrictions permitting) fund-raiser so I thought why not reach out to you guys and see if there's a resurgence in interest. 

Now obviously February is a long way off but I always have my guys asking "can we play Melbourne next time" so now they can shut their clams (ok, thats a blitz joke) because I've been here and asked.

    To make sure everything is above board we'd like ASADA to be involved.

    Its a great day out. 

     

    And you guys have only lost once(?). Having said that throughout the years we've gone from losing to you by 20 goals to i think the last one was about 15-16 points.

    Was the last one when we played on that rock hard patch of grass across the road from Olympic Park? That was a shocker! The game at Glenferrie years ago was good fun though.

    We've been using Olympic Park oval the last few times. 

     

    Venue managers are happy as long as we dont wear footy boots and clean up our mess afterwards

    Good if we could get Neville Jetta's brother and his father to play like we did against Carlton :)

    Best game we played was against Collingwood at vic park.

    It was one of their big birthdays as a club may have been 120 years and they wanted a game.

    We had a comfy 4 goal lead all day and they proceeded to kick 1.12 to 1.0 in last.

    • 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. Sunday’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 year’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 season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      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?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
