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.

CA20CD60-97CF-49CD-A269-16E1589B0896.thumb.jpeg.fc0813b14de05f575ccd0937e0c719f8.jpeg

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!

Thanks, Tim. 💕

It’s sure to be a really fun night, so we’re hoping for a good turnout.

Enjoy your time in NSW. 🙂

Is the DA full of nut jobs WCW or are you an outlier ?

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

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. 🥴

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!

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
