    This just happened:

    So I’m sitting on the steps of a disused building in Flinders Street coz no benches, having one last coffee before sausage duties. A guy walks past, I smile and nod coz me. He comes back and tries to give me a $10 note. Dude thought I was homeless!!! Of course I refused the money and tried to convince him that I am not a beggar. Two cops happened to walk by and heard us. One of the cops says, “nah mate, she’s definitely not doing it tough, have a look, she’s a Melbourne supporter.”🤣

    Same thing happened to me early one morning in hampton on way to work awhile back.Bloke offers to buy me a cup of coffee which i declined then he came back and offered to buy breakfast.First i was insulted then realised what a kind person he was.I do look a bit ordinary in grubby gardening gear.It made my day thinking how kind people can still be

    We Melbourne supporters are an introverted bunch.
    Have suffered much embarrassment over the years.
    Probably lost a generation or 2 of young supporters in the carnage.
    Supporters who would be young adults at games making noise .... But we aint got 'em.
    Petracca would be right about our age demographic, that we're an older supporter base.

     

     

     

     

    you are dead right

    Was just speaking to someone who's well connected down there. 

    Steven May's cousin, who he was close with passed away only last week which has completely shocked his family.

    This probably explains why he was on the drink.

    Too late, I’ve let them in already. I know I should grow a thicker skin and I am, but it takes time. I’m more upset about these comments in relation to my fellow squad members. They are insanely devoted to our Club. They’re fiercely loyal and proud Demons diehards. It makes me sick to think of any of this nastiness ever reaching any of these beautiful people. 
    Thanks for your support, FD💕

    you are a gem ,keep doing what you do,wish i was able to help in some way

    We do a “show” where we raise the banner, hold it for a couple of minutes, lay it back down, move everything 180 degrees and raise it again, ensuring both sides are seen.

    On days like Saturday (wet grass) we can’t do a show since crepe paper and water are NOT friends. They’re enemies, and water ALWAYS wins. Especially when water and crepe’s other arch nemesis, WIND, team up, crepe doesn’t have a snowball’s.  On rainy, or even just dewy days/nights the less time the banner is at the mercy of the elements, the better. 

    The “advertising on the back” isn’t random. Our major sponsors pay for that and without them we’d be up [censored] creek without a paddle, right?


    The “message” side of the banner always faces the race. After all, it’s entirely for the players that we do this. And in case anyone wonders… the players notice. And they appreciate it. 

    You see @DemonSam??? You ask a question in a decent manner, and you’ll be afforded a decent response. 

    Dont let them get to you WCW you all do a great job supporting the Dees, often thankless ,a lot more than some of the winging nellies on this forum

    Let’s all wish Melksy the very best for his 200th!!! Let’s give him the love he deserves! Make some noise for him!

    PS: y’all don’t forget to check out the awesome banner today. I broke a fingernail making that thing! And sacrificed a substantial amount of hair since: sticky tape + long hair + static electricity = hair loss. 🤣

    Edit: just don’t look too closely. I may or may not have cut a lil chunk outta the K in Melksham. 😬 

    Broken nail and hair loss ,great to see you take one for the team.

    Can't handle opposite views old dazzle.    He only scores goals when it's down his throat.  System player for a team that chips it around.    He wouldn't be any good in our system of bombing it long and locking it in.   Back to the blocklist.  Can't understand why you came off it

    He looks to much like Michael Bolton (singer for you youngsters)for my liking
