I'm not that interested in going to our last game of the year. We're playing boring footy. We're playing losing footy. Everything about the club is bad news.

The club should know this. Attendances have been terrible recently. The last game of the year, in prime time, and we'll get swallowed up by Collingwood supporters.

How could the club address this?

Firstly, what about a celebration for Bryashaw? The game starts at 7.40. Put on a highlights package at 7.10, the key being 7.10 for Angus' number. Encourage everyone to wear something on their head. Dees beanies, big freeze beanies, hats, whatever you like, in tribute of his headwear. Have a sale at the Demon shop.

Second, we can celebrate ANB. It's not often that players leave a club and get thanked for their contribution. He deserves it.

Third, [censored] COLLINGWOOD. They can go to hell. I want the players revved up and their weight thrown around. No nice guy with Maynard this time. 

What else? Can the club buy up some tickets and do a giveaway? Something to get fans to the game and have a happy moment, at least until the game starts.

I will be there to clap Nibbler and I'm also hoping Ben Brown gets a farewell game.

I understand that cost of living pressures and family stuff can make getting to the footy difficult, but if we don't get minimum 30k of our fans to this game I will be [censored].

The turnout for the Port & Giants games were f'ing pitiful and the fans need to have a look at themselves. I understand there is some unrest and media noise about the club, but the supporters job is to support and get behind the players.

I love the idea of marketing the hell out of it and pumping up the 'putting one over the old enemy' mantra. If the club's comms knows anything about the majority of our supporter base they will know that this would resonate. I also think a win in this game is something you can take into the off season and build confidence.

I'm just not so sure on the Brayshaw one, it just doesn't seem like he's comfortable with anything like this right now. Would love to see it though.

Thanks, 74.

This forum is at its best, and most attractive, when positivity and creativity, and also objective regard for our players (and let's no forget humour, too!) are to the fore.

I hope something is arranged to make the night more of a drawcard than it might otherwise be.

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int

    POSTGAME: Rd 24 vs Collingwood

    The Dees played insipid, error riddled & uninspiring footy all night and in a lightning delayed match they eventually succumbed to Collingwood by 46 points at the MCG in the final game of the year. Thank God this season is finally over. Bring on 2025.
