My daughter has her new jumper, got it yesterday, so will be sitting infront of TV deciding which player cared the most for his team, his jumper and his teammates and then getting that number put on my daughters jumper. They dont realise this, but one footballer is about to get their number on my daughters first Demon jumper... Now if thats not incentive to play your guts out, then i dont know what is

I love my club.. GO DEE'S!!!!

Have just returned to Vic after 6 1/2 years interstate and haven't been to skilled since around 2000, although I got here just in time for the first two games.....

What time do you good folks reckon I'd have to get to Kardinia Park to be assured of getting in? Are they showing their flag to their supporters resulting in larger crowd?

cheers in advance

This is the best post ever on Demonland.

Start a thread on this - it would be nice actually to have a debate on who the most deserving player is.

To keep it positive, just ask people to nominate a first and a second, with reasons. No insulting other's choices or paying out players, just the honest statements of respect.

Whoever can go into a game against these odds and still give it a red hot go, deserves the nod and every other accolade we can hand them.

I'm heading down to Geelong for the very first time ever.

A strange time to do it, I know.

I only have a general admin ticket - where do all the Melbourne people sit (all seven that is...)?

Ahh. I remember my first time to Kardinia. Early 80's on the train as a young fella. We won and gave grief to all the hapless cats fans all the way back to civilisation

Good question, any ideas anyone?

Sit. LOL. You are Kardinia virgins! Gen Admin is standing room. Get there early and you actually can get a reasonable forward flank position. Bring flags to show support.

i will be having sex... nar jks il be in front of the telly cheering them on!! i can smell a bit of a surprise on sunday.. not as in a surprise we gunna win but if we lose but under 4 goals il be happy enuff..or shouldn't i?

I have a friend's birthday lunch, but I'll have a radio handy.

In the standing room at Kardi Park. I'm frankly terrified.

All genuine supporters will be going to the game if they can get a seat. Some of the rest (genuine ones) will watch TV and the remainder(eg the rats who have left the sinking ship twice already )should find themselves another team or spend the day looking up the dictionary meaning of "support" and "fan".

I take issue with this comment. Melbourne supporters need to stick together at the moment not start calling eachother "rats".

Well since I have 4 fractures in my pelvis, going to stand at geelong was not an option, But I'll watch the game on foxtel at home,

And dazzle i would be happy with anything under 6 goals.

Yes Melbourne supporters do need to stick together and "support " and not doing what quite a few of them have been doing over the past 2 weeks. Yes it is sad they are losing but you can't have it every which way. They (the rats) want the heads of established players and when they get their wish their young replacement counterparts cop an earful and then they want their heads too. On average it takes 4 years to get a player up to standard (there are exceptions) so be patient. You can't delist everyone It won't happen over night but it will happen.

I'll be sitting by myself in the South Terrace, wearing lots of Demons gear. I expect us to lose, but have faint hopes of a turn-around.

If you don't go to games like this, you'll NEVER see the great heroic victories. Those of us who followed the Demons around from 1965 to 1987 are quite accustomed to frustration and disappointment! But the bad times make the good times more memorable!

I was overseas with work when we lost to Fitzroy by(the still record margin) of 190 points(was it '78 or '79?) One of my mates I go to the footy with each week was there , and still rubbishes me for "abandoning the team when they were down". I wish I could say I saw that game. I won't miss this one!

I reckon it's a "no lose situation " for Demon supporters on Sunday. If we do lose by 100 points, no-one will be surprised. If we lose by 50, it'll be regarded as a good effort. If we win!!!!! The best train trip ever!!! The whole season turns around!!!

Those canny bookmakers are only quoting us at 15 to one! 15 to one shots do get up every now and then. If there was really no hope at all, we'd be 50 or 100 to one.

If ya get there early (by about 10.30am) you'll probably get a seat for general admission. There are about 2,000 free seats.

I'll be there early (around 8am at the ground), but unfortunately won't be in the stands until probably 1pm, so will certainly miss out on those seats.

If you do get there early, try not to abuse the umpires in the VFL game too much...

I'll be waking up hung over from a friends birthday the night before. I'll watch on TV. Also i hope my girlfriend will make me pancakes.

demonlanders -- first post -- pls cut me some slack. i've relocated after decades in melbourne & reckon i paid my dues w. the annual trek to KP (are we the only club that does it nigh on every year?) i remember missing one (had to work) &, listening on the radio, thinking jeff farmer was going to get us across the line (he didn't); sean charles doing similar & another, early season, when the wiz, wearing red boots & the number 8, almost did but, of course, we lost it in time on. remember, earlier, ablett kicking more goals than we did, though shaun smith did his best on a day when the rain was driving so hard that our heads were bent. (know that was '96 because we were listening to the opening ceremony of the atlanta games on the way down the highway). but all the fruitless trips to that hayseed hell became worth it when we won in -- was it 2005? i wanted to do star jumps on those miserable terraces but, by then, not having been able to convince others to give up their saturdays to be disappointed, i was by myself & just grinning like the idiot i am. our breakthrough win took a back seat in the press to the omigod hysteria about nathan ablett's first game. sorry, this is a rant, but, hell, as bad as things are & me being in WA, i really wish i was flying the flag at that horrible ground this weekend. Go dees!

Praying for a miracle.

Two games I want to win this year the rest I can live without - tomorrow and Queens Birthday. If I hear one more Geelong supporter mention the word "dynasty" I will scream. And Collingwood well its Collingwood.
