Hi all!

I’m heading up to Sydney for round 0 and wondering who else on here is going too?

There’s no organised pre match meet up as demon army will be busy getting everything ready and nsw demons not being able to do so either being a Thursday night.

I’d love to organise a meet up place with any other demon fans going up during the day and have a few pre game drinks if anyone Is interested :)

    Myself and 25 mates from Torquay starting at the London Hotel in Paddington.

    Approx 23 minute walk to the SCG.

    Thanks for initiating the question. It warms my heart to think of Melbourne supporters flooding into Sydney for the match. 
    Typically there would be an event beforehand, but not the case for this Thursday night fixture. 

    Considering the location, there are not a heap of options on the southern and western sides of the SCG. The best one is Watson's in the Entertainment Quarter. Otherwise, the numerous Paddington pubs Bat and Ball, Captain Cook, etc. on-route from the north and east. 

    All options will likely be crawling with plucky Swans supporters wearing #4 (Grundy) jumpers...

    This match must be close to sold out. The DA gets an allocation from the opposition at away games, this varies with each team. The Swans have already asked us to finalise our numbers soon which means they’ll ask for unused tickets and that usually signals a sellout.

    I hear ya. I was concussed last year by an Izak Rankine ball to the head. I wasn’t knocked unconscious but I had double-vision for a few minutes. It’s why I call Bay M3 the Bay of Carnage. 😁

    Sounds good, we'll sort something out!

    I'm sitting in the Melbourne area, but not via Demon Army, but I have a feeling it's the same place.

    Weel done to those who are travelling for the game, never been to the SCG but seems like a great place to watch footy.

    I’m heading down from Brisbane for the game, I always try and get to the first game of the year.  Never been to the SCG before.  Keen for any suggestions for decent pubs close to the ground, I’ll be waiting on a swans supporter to finish work so I’ll be drinking solo somewhere 🤣

    Thanks for that!

    Members of the Demon Army who aren’t involved in pregame setting up will be at Watson’s EQ, as well as after the match along with those who stay back to pack up who’ll be there a little later.

    If you do decide to go, don’t worry about not knowing anyone there. You’ll be warmly welcomed by an awesome bunch of crazy beautiful Dees diehards.

    • 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.

      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?
