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: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
