    In my case, I'd get pinged for wasting time.

    My oldest daughter has just recently moved out of home and up to Melbourne for uni, so I'm taking a bootload of of her stuff to her apartment late Saturday arvo.  We'll then grab a feed somewhere local to her before training it in to the G where we may or may not meet up with my oldest son who is definetely going, but he's not sure if he'll be hanging with his mates or us.

    Like everyone here, we've been hanging for the season to start for so long now and have talked about it so much.  Can't wait.

    Is it concerning that more than half of us die hard supporters aren't going to the game?

    absolutely zero judgment for the many and varied reasons you all can attend. I myself was going to miss but for some good work misfortune

    60K plus and ill be happy.   50 point smashing, ill be even happier

    Spewing I can't go but my son wanted to have his birthday party at home instead of going to the footy so home it is. It also means there's another 6 or 7 of my family who won't be going either.

    I also have a christening on the same afternoon as the Swans game in round 3 so because of all our interstate games the first one I'll get to go to is ANZAC Eve! Gonna make sure I get there for as many games for the rest of the year after that, it's going to be a good season I feel and I want to make sure I'm there to enjoy it.

    Personally, prep for round one started a few weeks ago at the first of three DA working bees where (among many other things) we went through all our gear in readiness for the season. Well, it really began at the end of last season since not a week goes by without some manner of DA activity. And yes, meeting up for a liquid lunch constitutes DA activity. 😝

    I’m currently on my way to Collingwood because the real prep starts today at 3pm for our first (official) banner-making for the year! Yay! Spirits are always sky-high at banner but I think today will be next level. ❤️💙

    I was. And when I got home I burned the clothes I’d been wearing. One can never be too careful.

    Winery Lunch in Red Hill, drive up the highway, train to the G, stand behind M19, drink lots of beer, hurtle abuse at Neal Bullen and the men in yellow no doubt, and be happy that footy is back.

    OK but this is just between you and me. Don’t tell anyone else! Especially the ppl on Demonland; they can’t keep their big traps shut. 😁

    One side has a huge HERTZ logo under which “GO DEMONS” is sitting on its lonesome. That’s because the Hertz wants what the Hertz wants (see what I did there?).

    The main side acknowledges that our game this Saturday marks the 3000th game played on the ‘G. Not our 3000th game, but the 3000th game, the majority of which we probs played anyways.

    Again, QD… you didn’t hear this from me.

    Mum's the word @WalkingCivilWar. Having said that, I know a few 'Landers and they are all thoroughly decent chaps. Can't mention names of course - I know you'll understand. But that red-head is a thoroughly decent chap. Went to the right school you know. And the one with the pony tail, we had the rules changed at the Club to have him admitted. Thoroughly decent chap. And the son of . . . . what's his name . . . oh you know, very decent lad. Very stable, predictable, steady hand on the tiller - just the chap we need heading up the Firm. Gave him his own underground carpark. Anyway - got to go now WCW - meeting some of the developers down at Sorento.

    About that. There’s also a lot of white with the red and blue. Too much white for mine. I told my Army General, “The Doggies will like our banner, it’s in their colours.” She said, “Better than the faded old tablecloth they call a banner.”

    I'm in Sydney and won't be getting to see any matches live until later in the season. My plans stereotypically include a charcuterie board and some wine.

    As usual I shall manoeuvre my prodigious buttocks into my reserved seat on Saturday and drink plenty of overpriced beer. I expect Moonshadow ( a defrocked Demonlander) will also be there ...and possibly Biffen ( also a defrocked Demonlander).

    I expect nothing less than a comfortable victory over the denizens of Melbourne's less salubrious barrio .

    I have a newborn son, and my train line is undergoing major works, so I won't be attending matches until later this year. TV for me for a few months.

    My little guy will be decked out in a Demons onesie watching his first game of footy on tv Saturday night.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
