Sharing-time (again) Humour me please 

Yeah so last Friday I had a routine mammogram. Monday I got the call no one ever wants to receive: they think they “saw something” on the imagining. Tuesday back to Melbourne Private for anothery. Was told to expect the results Thursday (today). Didn’t tell anyone, loved ones, friends etc., not a soul. Having to tell them the cancer may have returned is actually worse than telling them it has returned. 😞

So, last night I was effectively Schrodinger’s Cat, if you will, in that I had breast cancer and at the same time, I didn’t have breast cancer. 🙃🙂

SOOOO happy and relieved to have just received the all-clear! 🥳 

(Almost 😉) as happy and relieved as I was to have watched our beloved Dees do us all proud last night. 

 

#NotToday,Cancer.NotToday!

 

Note to self: you may need to take stock of your life. What does it say about you that you tell a motley bunch of randoms on a fan forum the great news before you tell your loved ones??? And “I just happened to be on Demonland when I got the call” ain’t gonna cut it! 😁

WONDERFUL news! May it never be any day :-)

(Nothing wrong with being a Demonland tragic - it's a family here (dysfunctional sometimes yeah, but in the best possible way).

All the best, incredibly happy for you!

 

Well Done WCW, as u know, Tragics like us always will find solace and brevity in the Demonland heartland! We all share different Views but, hopefully at the end of the day, when things turn potentially sour, people in Demonland can offer strong support!

Good Luck P.F

Apologies if already mentioned, but if TMac gets a few more games down back and shows he can be an effective part of the backline system, the option to try Petty forward when he recovers would have to be considered.

Sincerely, thank you. 💕

I’ve been incredibly humbled by the well wishes both public and in PMs from some amazing people on DL. Seriously, I have been so moved by some of the sentiments to the point of being legit lost for words (a rarity for me).

I love the Dees with all my heart and always will and Demonland has shown me that there’s nothing wrong with being borderline obsessed with our club. Discovering DL also signalled a welcome end to barracking for Melbourne on my own. 
So thank you everyone! I love you guys 💖😘 (and by guys of course I mean gals too).

There is something wrong with being  borderline obsessed with the dees.

It's too half hearted.

Fully obsessed is the go.

Apologies if this has been mentioned. The MCG car park was closed last night and there was no public announcement by the club or AFL although I believe the MCC may have advised it’s members.

Traffic was awful, how many bums on seats this cost we’ll never know but I’d assume several thousand would not have found anywhere nearby to park!

That’s poor form 

Trams on Wellington Parade we’re terrible as well, I’m not sure if it was covid related to staff shortages or they just didn’t cater for getting ~60k people getting home.Seeing families with kids who made the effort being stuck for some to wait and then having to struggle to get them into packed trams was not enjoyable. 

Having watched round 1 I think I will keep on watching the Grand Final replays.

More exciting, better standard and we win by so much more.

It will take something really special this season to change my preference.

Trains no better. How hard is it to schedule more bloody transport on a big event night! 


Very impressed by our performance last night.

Not only with four members of the backline absent but also at the demonstrated skill level.

For anyone who wants to see a "rusty" team have a look at our Round 1 performance against Freo last year.

Now if only we could kick a little straighter

I’ll reserve judgment based on potential covid staffing issues, it was a frustrating though but compared to others it was a pleasant stroll deep into the city for a tram.

There were also no trains running on the Craigieburn line only buses to North Melbourne. Wouldn't have impacted too many Melbourne supporters but a lot of Doggies live out this way.

Sorry Dr G but how would they get from North to Craigie or am I missing something?

Sorry I meant there were trains from North Melbourne to the City but no trains between North Melbourne and Craigieburn, only buses.

I was looking at it heading in so thinking only buses to NM FROM Craigieburn.

Trying to watch the replay on Kayo, anyone else finding large sections of play missing.

Platforms 9 & 10 at Richmond station (lines to Belgrave, Lilydale, Alamein and Glen Waverley) were so full after the game people couldn't actually get onto the platform. The trains all showed up at once, on one platform, whilst the other platform was empty.

Metro has always struggled with clearing passengers after big football games. It shouldn't be as hard as it seems to be for them.

Tried to get home on a tram. Single carriages packed, had to wait for three before there was room to get on. Also noticed a lot of mum's grab the kids and leave at the ten minute mark of the last quarter. Unhappy kids being told you have school tomorrow.

The ‘one beer only’ is non-negotiable. Bad things happen when I drink too much. The last time I overindulged I was one mouse click away from gifting my life savings to a Nigerian Prince. Phew, dodged a bullet that time. However I’m not sure but I think we’re now married. JK. But yeah, one’s plenty for this lassie. 👍🏽

'Just one beer/drink' is one of the most oft told lies in English or any other language.... just sayin

Brutal. And seeing the other experiences… again I assume covid related staff shortages but just so chit for our round 1 after a flag.

I know that as it was our home game we want last night to have been a commercial success all round, but I honestly hope the ratings were soft and Channel 7 and the AFL realise Wednesday night games are a [censored] idea. We were robbed of at least 5,000-10,000 people who maybe could have gone on a Thursday night and another 5,000-10,000 who would have gone on a Friday night.

I loved that it was a 'Home' game, yes I would have like 80+, and you're probably right on the fixturing/numbers - but flip side is, we got 100% media focus. But still listening to the crowd on the broadcast, it was absolutely our home game, sounded like a WC match on the broadcast. Thought the Dogs supporters were weak for not turning up. I also don't mind the 10 day break between games with our current injuries.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
