This just happened:

So I’m sitting on the steps of a disused building in Flinders Street coz no benches, having one last coffee before sausage duties. A guy walks past, I smile and nod coz me. He comes back and tries to give me a $10 note. Dude thought I was homeless!!! Of course I refused the money and tried to convince him that I am not a beggar. Two cops happened to walk by and heard us. One of the cops says, “nah mate, she’s definitely not doing it tough, have a look, she’s a Melbourne supporter.”🤣

Same thing happened to me early one morning in hampton on way to work awhile back.Bloke offers to buy me a cup of coffee which i declined then he came back and offered to buy breakfast.First i was insulted then realised what a kind person he was.I do look a bit ordinary in grubby gardening gear.It made my day thinking how kind people can still be

Hoping we turn things around today but fear we're in more trouble than we're ready to accept. 

We lost this game last year and went on to win the flag so hang loose today is not the end of the world either way.

We are constantly shown stories of all the AS in the world thankfully there are a lot of good people.

What time will we find out whether Petty is playing or not?

General Admission Areas:

Shane Warne Stand
    •    Q1-Q6

Ponsford Stand
    •    Q31-Q36 (rows AA-MM)

Olympic Stand
    •    General Admission seating not available

it only costs $3 more to upgrade to a reserved seat on level 4. GA areas are sold out so you’d have to get there very early if you want to get in.

Wow. Slim pickings by the look. I've never fancied the Ponsford Stand at the best of times so Q1-6 at the Punt Road end it is I guess. Thanks Beardy!

Don’t forget y’all…

If you’re in Fed. Square this morning, pop over to the Demon Army’s sausage sizzle!

A snag or five before you walk to the ‘G will warm you up on the inside AND provide more $$$ for FightMND. 

Or even just come to say hello! I’ll be the jumpy one who’s running purely on coffee and Red Bull (lots of). 😃

GO DEES!!!

Health prevents me from going to the game but have enough zip to do hour round trip to grab a snag and tip in a few bob for MND,then back home to watch a great win

[Deeoldfart 8,033]

C’mon Dees. Let’s put the crap of last week behind us by doing what we do best, and thumping the Magpies.

[Mr Steve 3,820]

Expect us to win and win easy but this team is looking for the bye round. Lot of players need a rest.

[Demongirl35 1,056]

I’m probably being dramatic and probably still have trauma from previous years of going for the dees but if we don’t show any case of hunger or looked absolutely pumped for this big clash then I feel like we may not get it back this year. 
after the last few weeks of losing, the may and melks and then the scandal’ if it can’t drive the players to go ‘stuff this, let’s show the comp we are the best l team’ then I don’t know what will bring it back. 
 

but anyway go dees! Haha

I'm feeling today's game is a barometer reading for the rest of the season.

I was going to go to this game, only to find out the carpark is shut except for permit and disability. Not going to bother driving the 1.5-2hours and then try to find street parking somewhere. And the train is more expensive than driving for me. What’s the thinking having the ground closed for a game like this? 

They shut the car park now for any game expected to have a crowd bigger than 70k. It was closed against the Dogs and Tigers earlier this year too.

They did this after that psycho drove down Bourke St a few years back to protect large crowds from a similar incident at the footy 🙄

[david_neitz_is_my_dad 4,083]

We are only winning this if our forward line connection and efficiency is there, kicking accurately will help (as it did for Casey).

I hope Petty is good to go because that backline looks like it could leak a lot under pressure.

I was on the flip side ie being asked for money. 

In March I was in the city and instead of giving money I suggested I buy the person the food they wanted - we were outside the Macro store in Flinders St.  She took up the offer buying biscuits, drinks and lollies.  My good Samaritan deed was rewarded the next day when I saw Gus and his partner Danielle having coffee in Desgrave St.  I broke all my rules about not approaching well known people but couldn't resist congratulating Gus for the team's great win the previous night; the night we unfurled our flag.

Then last Sunday, walking into the Hampton St supermarket a girl asked me for $5 to buy food.  Again I invited her into the store to choose what she wanted and I would pay for it.  She exceeded the $5 by a fair margin but I let it go.  Of course I expect nothing in return but it would be nice if the karma fairy brought us a demon win today.

Should have taken it & said I'll donate it to mnd

[D4Life 2,476]

Would accept a one point win would love a 10 goal win. Buckley as a coach had the wood on Goody, hopefully new coach sees A better result for Demons.

Be great to see one of our Browns or Spargo/Kozzie kick 3 or 4!

Go Demons!!

[whatwhat say what 22,783]

unbelievably, we are less experienced and over a year, on average, younger than the filth today

i think the filth are pretty underrated; any side with pendlebury is still more than capable

thar said, if we actually manage to bring effort for four full quarters we SHOULD win

 

 

[leave it to deever 17,511]

Went to this game at the scg last year.

No big freeze.

No atmosphere. 

Hopefully this will be different.

Watched poor Weid struggle and take only one mark.

We came back hard but alas it didn't feel Ike a Qbday round at the scg.

Will we soon be having a kings Bday round?

Not wishing any sickness on HRH.

Just wondering.

As for Melksham being gifted a 200 game I thought he played poorly and then followed up a bad week.

He used to be very good but I think his days are over.

Without May....bbb in a massive slump and no tmac this won't be a cake walk.

Trac seems out of form too.

Mfcss back again.

It's a shame I got used to feeling arrogant about winning.

Practicing my Collingwood jokes on Mrs Nekkid.  I hope for a better response at the ground…..

[Redjacket 756]

Anyone know what time the Big Freeze slide starts and are they televising it again this year?

[Little Richard 6,265]

Obviously a huge game. We need to galvanise and beat what is a genuinely threatening Collingwood side.

Looking like it's going to be a great crowd... just hoping it's not a sea of black and white.

It usually looks like a sea of Norf supporters Scip!

Sliders start sliding at ~2pm

Not sure about TV, but coverage starts at 2pm, so probably?

MFCSS is running riot this morning. Is this the game that defines our season ?

In my younger days I used to go through Cranny to do a bit surfing down at the Island and think, what a [censored] hole,  who the hell would want to live there.  Years later,  that is where I live!  When I went down to the shops I used to say to my wife, look at all the ferals, they must all barrack for Collingwood. My wife put me nicely back in my place saying ‘you look no different to them’!🫣 That took the wind out of my sails.
