The Demon Army is hosting a RETRO PARTY and EVERYONE is WELCOME!

We’ve booked the top floor of The Sporting Globe in Richmond for this Friday, July 21 with the fun starting at 7pm.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that the one and only JEFF FARMER will be our very special guest, so it would be great to get as many folks there as possible. As Suzanne (one of our amazing CS leaders and my very good friend) says, “The Wiz deserves a large audience.” No one can dispute that, right?

So please join us on Friday night and be sure to wear your finest RETRO DEES GEAR!!!

TITUS O’REILLY will also be there to make you laugh. And he will!

Tickets can be purchased through the link below. Adults $20 and children $10 with profits being split with MFC Past Players.

Walkups on the night are also welcome ie, tickets can be purchased at the door… cash and card accepted  

Show your MFC membership and you’ll receive a 20% discount on all food and drink!

BE THERE!!!

Bumping this back onto the front page of topics. Hope nobody minds.

Since posting it this morning we’ve had 10 more people purchase tickets, for which we are very grateful. (Thank you sincerely if you’re one of those people.) But we need way more people to attend. Therefore, since I’m not above begging, I beseech everyone to consider attending our retro party. If begging doesn’t work I'll have no choice but to initiate phase two…. nagging. I’m exceptionally good at nagging. If nagging was an Olympic sport I’d be the Michael Phelps, only with more gold medals. Make no mistake… I’ll wear y’all down by Friday. 😝

Happy to post to keep the thread 'northwards' @WalkingCivilWar, by posting my apologies: we'll be on the road northwards ourselves, into NSW by that time.

Best wishes for a successful (and deservedly lucrative for the DA) event!

It's amazing how one can perceive oneself versus the perception of others 😜

Unfortunately I cannot make it because I'm still living in Sydney... but I will see you in Hobart!

A flimsy excuse 🤨

I guess I’ll just have to chat to The Wiz and laugh at Titus and watch old Dees matches and sing our song  and eat, drink and be merry without you. 😭 😭 😭 

Never mind, we’ll make up for it in Tassie. Except no swinging from the chandelier, nor dancing on the table with lampshades on our heads coz Tassie. 😁

 

 

Great initiative WCW, previous commitment on Friday. Suggest more notice and I will be there. Cheers P.F

Might be working late but a chance if I get off early

Sounds like it will be a good evening!

We couldn’t announce it any earlier since our guests hadn’t confirmed.

As it was, we were meant to have it on the 7th, the night before our Saints game. (The Club decided not to have a retro round this season so we had our own unofficial retro round) but it’s difficult to have everyone available on the one night.

WCW you're making me feel ghastly - from FOMO and also because I'll just have to be there in spirit!

Strange to think I've had drinks with many fine folks from the Demon Army but somehow never you!   I'm sure we can find a Tassie specific version of chandeliers or lampshades, maybe carousing at the Salamanca markets 😄

P.S. did I ever mention that you missed out on meeting Sparrow at a kebab store on the Gold Coast after the game? 😉

You may’ve mentioned it once or twice or a hundred times. 🤨

‘Twas for the betterment of all that I chose to forgo postgame revelling since I’d been up for 36 hours and delirium and alcohol don’t mix. I would’ve been a danger to myself and/or you guys and/or the fine folk of the Gold Coast. 🥴

How did the night go ??

It went really well. The Wiz says he’s an introvert but he regaled us with stories for almost two hours! His 6yo daughter, Scout, stole the show a few times though. The best was when she interrupted her dad on stage (at the conclusion of the bombers/ bulldogs match) to announce that we’re still fourth on the ladder. She even proved it by holding a phone up to show him.

Titus is a legend. No one guessed Jeff would talk for so long and Titus waited patiently for the entire time. He did his usual type of material except he cut it short because of how late it was. He wasn’t paid for last night, but you wouldn’t know it. He truly is a Dees diehard.

The turnout was good. A room full of passionate fans makes for a fun night.

This morning one of our illustrious leaders told me she thinks there were some DL-ers there. I didn’t know that, but thanks so much for your support, it means a lot to us and the Past Players Association. Also, bummer I didn’t get to meet any fellow DL-ers. Maybe next time!

Haha We purposely kept our distance.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
