What a journey this has been. Some things are just so far above footy. Having said that, I am so proud that the whole football community gets behind such causes as this. 
Love to be around the day when they say ‘fight MND’ will no longer be a King’s birthday ‘event’…. because a cure has been found.

    Will we still be able to dump Eddie McGuire into a a pond full of ice water?

    Can we start a crowd funding page to buy @AzzKikA a pair of scissors?  :D

    Only if the crowd funding page specifies them as 24 carat gold!

    I do cut it off but it always ends up unraveling.

    And no, I don't need a crowd funding page for a needle and thread for Mrs KikA to mend it.

    What, you’ve got no functioning hands? Mend it yourself! It’s 2023 not 1953. 😁

    At what age were your sons when you taught them to sew WCW?

    We’ve never lived on a farm, NC. 😜

    As for sewing, I don’t think anyone in their generation ever mends clothing, they just buy new stuff.

    Are they still doing a walk to the G? Will definitely take part if they are.

    They certainly are. Also, the obligatory Demon Army BBQ will be set up in Fed. Square a couple of hours before the walk starts.

    At so if your son did want something mended you'd tell him to buy a new one or sew it himself then huh?

    Hot tip. Don't cut it off, untie it.

    The pom pom would be actually looped on as both the pom pom and beanie are a fully fashion knit, hence no stitching is used. If you cut it, you will inevitably cut the knit itself which will unravel the whole thing.

    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

    They wouldn’t even bother asking me to mend anything. They know what the answer would be. I watched my mum darn my dad’s socks as a kid… mending ain’t happening at mine. No-sir-ee 🙃

    It is amazing how long Neil has lasted with this horrible disease. He must be one of the longest I have heard of. I know of another sufferer who lasted just 21 months.

    This game is going to be massive!

    & it's really got everything - From Neale & all things MND, Grundy v Pies. Every chance of a 1 v 2 & a Dees home game too.

    Besides 1958, when was the last time we cracked 90k for a H&A game? We'll get passed that this year, surely?

    I was so looking forward to attending this game, however I have an emergency travel overseas to see my family in June. Oh well will try to somehow watch it live (does anyone know about a trusty VPN).

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
