  1. Wrote a little ode to our Demons, to channel some of my nervous energy toward something... We are the Demons. We are the 12-premiership fallen behemoth, the sleeping giant and at one time the most famous sporting club in the land. We wrote the rules and are the keeper of the game, 163 years strong and counting. We are the team of 18-goal-in-a-game Fred Fanning, of 10 premiership Norm Smith with his name on the Medal. We are the team of Ronald Dale. We are the team of war heroes, more fallen wearing the red and blue than any other team in league history. We are strong, proud, resilient and fiercely, fire-breathingly loyal. We are Melbourne. We are the Redlegs, and we are here to reclaim our rightful place. We’ll fight, tackle hard, kick truly and make the game ours. The Era of the Demon is here.
  2. You're on the right track there Grr-owl, but theres an extra detail as to why it was 'little' boots. Caligula was the son of a famous and beloved general (Germanicus), and used to be known for following him around in camp while on campaign, in little replica soldier's boots. Hence he became known around camp as 'Little Boots', a nickname that continued into his adult life. So not so much an unflattering one, but one that reflects his childhood. Nerves the reason why i am bothering to write this as well! Go Dees!
