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. 

Don't forget to make him a baby demon member!

    Congratulations!

    Parenting is a lot like being a Melbourne supporter... sometimes good, sometimes terrible and  always riddled with anxiety. 

    Edit: If his name isn't Max, Clayton or Christian I will be very disappointed

    I tried to name him Clayton Oliver but my wife wasn’t having it. She is from a Demon family however so he’s a guaranteed hardcore Demon!

    Well, I'll be having the most vegetarian of vegetarian pies at probably a going rate of $15 in the MCC, having a soy cappuccino and hoping that May's injury doesn't set us back too much. Meanwhile, I'll be hoping that I can control my swearing and incessant commentary a little better in preparation for bringing my son along next year and not annoying my family too much. I have one year left before bozo attends and I'd rather he wasn't a nuffy like me.

    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 .

    At least you can get a drink at the Gee, Uncle. I was cruising in the Vette last week through Romsey and looking for refreshments on a warm day only to find the Romsey Hotel closed and out of business! That’s a real shock for a Fitzrovian like myself. I mean what is going on these days in the frontier lands?

    That's been shut for at least 3 years now!

    Thank you for your aristocratic concern Earl.

    Yes, the local Public House is as dead as that famous parrot, and has been for some years. A dispute over " one armed bandits", was the crux of the problem.

    A sad sign of the times but I do keep The Manor's cellar amply stocked.

    The owner wanted to get a pokies licence but some local wowser group and the council opposed it. It went to VCAT and he was rolled.

    He owns two other pubs with pokies so basically, he cracked the [censored] and closed it.

    I don't give a flyer either way about pokies but the council was small minded in this. They and the community would have been better off to work with the owner. IE demand certain improvements and investments for their support.

    There have been some attempts to revive it but without success.

    Looks like it would have been an ok pub, thanks for the info, everytime I'm in the area I always wonder what happen.

    Go easy with the beers for the new one as he might get colic.

    Just for some perspective: my plans for round TWO start today… I’m having a mammogram this morning the results of which I won’t know until next Friday, an hour or so after I arrive in Brisbane for our match that night at the ‘Gabba. If the dreaded Big C has indeed returned I’ll have to get on a plane home immediately since I’m part of a trial.

    So, round two I’ll either be front row at the ‘Gabba waving a flogger, screaming like a lunatic or in the Royal Melb Hospital watching the match on TV.

    All good though… I know it’ll be the former, and NOT the latter. 🙂

    A decent after dinner port will help in that case. I'd keep him away from the cheese board though

    Killer memory right there, Layz. Yeah, I spent our round one match last year sweating on results having experienced a scare which ended up being all good, just like our round one result. ❤️💙 Here’s hoping for a repeat of that this year.

    Today the radiographer said she wishes great outcomes for me on both counts next Friday. And she was a Collingwood supporter! So there are nice ones out there, albeit few and far between. 😁

    Geez WCW, I was just getting in the mood to unleash some sarcasm and abuse ....... and you were a likely target.

    Then comes your news.

    I wish you all the best for good news ( I'm confident it will be) and shall send some positive vibes in the direction of snorbs!

    I'm not overstocked with positivity so this effort will probably exhaust me.

    Well I’ll be! There IS a heart beating under all that bluff and bluster.💕

    Thanks for the positive vibes, BBO. But maybe you should channel them to the ‘G tomorrow night instead. They may be needed there considering our outs. Besides, Snorbs wouldn’t know what hit it copping positive vibes. Foreign concept right there. 🙃

    I reckon you'd be safe to break open the sarcasm in an hour or so!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
