This.  I have a lot of respect for Doggies fans, they're not abusive and always respectful of their opposition.  I wish all supporters can be like Doggies fans.

Ever stood in the outer at the Western oval back in the day?

    Quite often, actually.  My best friend from high school in the 80s used to take me with her family out to Western Oval.  We always had heaps of fun.

    Absolutely. Never any dramas. There's always a few blockheads around at any ground, but on the whole, the Western Oval was okay (and brilliant in 1987).

    Was there at the Western Oval in the last round of 1987. Saw us beat the Dogs and get into the finals for the first time into my life. As I remember it, we needed Hawthorn to beat Geelong at Kardinia Park to get into the finals and the unforgettable roar came over the ground when someone heard on the radio and shared that Dunstall had kicked the winning goal. Was also there at the Western Oval in 1976 final round when we needed to beat the Dogs to get into the finals for the first time in my life. On that occasion I think there was a draw in another game which meant we missed out on the finals. I was devastated. I'll be there at the G tomorrow and am looking forward to tomorrow's game against the Dogs. Go MELBOURNE!

    Pretty considered comments really.

    I thought this was as an excellent summary of our game plan in a nutshell:

    • 'They worked so hard to gut run and outnumber the Tigers on the weekend. They created overlap and had multiple options moving the ball forward for large parts of the game.' 

    And this comment was also perceptive:

    •  watched the Demons play the Tigers in the practice match. Their ball movement was incredibly slick; they were humming like a well-oiled machine. They didn't even seem to have any of the normal early-season rust. That's what scares me more than any of their individual players

    These two comments from a couple of switched on doggies fans were very prescient.

    Could have been written about this game

    Sorry Kat DF I can't agree with you here. I've been going to footy at all grounds for 35 plus years and the only time I've nearly been in physical altercations has been with Bulldogs fans. Only once have i had any trouble with any other club and that was when I was paying out on Stephen Milne for his indiscretions. Never had a problem with any of the worst clubs that people don't like, even at their home grounds. Maybe it's because I fit in well with them. Bulldogs fans to me were the bottom of the pit. Except now i LOVE them because their Club gave us a Flag in my lifetime.

    The comments section from Bulldogs fans in this tweet is pretty entertaining.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
