    IT would take me 15 minutes if I walking by myself, I'm pretty sure it will take alot longer with the entire red and blue army.

    There's also the photographic exhibition - so that'll slow people down.

    Count me and my dad in travelling from Newcastle so yeh i'll definatly be there.

    Im hoping for the clubs sake that it doesn't rain on Saturday we are in desperate need of numbers at the game and the walk and rain could be terriable.

    Make sure you're there on Monday!

    I agree re: the rain, though. The latest forecast is 17 and fine, so it's okay atm.

    Apparently Nietz, Flower and Rigoni will all be talking around 10am, so it is worth getting there before the 11:30 departure time!

    From the Herald Sun:

    "At least 100 past players will be at Monday's Queen's Birthday clash with Collingwood.

    They will gather from about 9.30am to walk to the MCG from Federation Square.

    Supporters will be briefed and can hear David Neitz, Robert Flower and Guy Rigoni on stage from 10am.

    Buskers will lead the crowd of fans and ex-players on the walk to the MCG from 11.30am"

    I'm pumped from it, but can't help but feel it'll be a flop.

    Just something about it just seems a bit... i dunno.

    A march to the G, with no real knowledge of why you should be there. Just worried it won't attract the average fan. Hope it does though

    There seem to be quite a few people coming down from interstate or the country for this, which is fantastic.

    I really do hope we get a good turn out.

    Another 3 will be there, including myself and Marfa. We love our club.

    It's time for us to unite as a group and show the AFL we are the powerhouse team NOT to mess with.

    I will be there with niece who has come down from Bendigo. An historic statement by us, the fans.

    Wouldn't miss it for quids.

    I couldn't make it last night but the prospect of rubbing shoulders with some of our greats and true supporters on the walk is fantastic.

    I'll be going alone but I'm sure I'll have plenty of comrades in arms.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road for their 3rd interstate game in 4 weeks as they face a fit and firing Crows at Adelaide Oval. With finals now out of our grasps what are you hoping from the Dees today?

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
