I'm a long-term Redlegs member who lives interstate. I always regard my annual membership as a donation to the best football club in the world. Nothing has changed.

You are a good man Andy ...... but no footy, living interstate, and self isolating (on 70+ age grounds), I need the Demonland banter! Keep up the great work!

A perfectly sensible and reasonable approach Andy. As stated by a lot of public figures over the last month ,"we are all in this together!". As an aside, I made a small donation a few weeks ago, and I always knew it would be a good investment (unlike what's left of what I had on the ASX).

How about 'Fuchsia' for perhaps the greatest of them all?

Great work Paxy. Clearly the Demon standout!

.................. and I was very naively thinking that football would be my 'escape' from all this crap. Might have to turn to the bottle.

I'm quietly confident based on our pre season form, and the very little I saw of an under-manned WCE over summer. Quiet confidence will no doubt morphe into loud supporting during the match, and I hope to have good reason to keep the volume on high post siren.

'True Boot' Lill was great all day. Grit, courage and a never say die attitude ....... oh, and a celebration to bring a tear to an old fart's eye.

Wow! I think I just witnessed a resurrection?

A fantastic signing in the current climate. I'll wager that there aren't too many other AFL clubs who have signed up new sponsors in the Covid-19 era. Well done MFC!

Demonland was already the best AFL Footy Forum by a country mile. This MFC / community spirited initiative takes it to a new level again. Well done folks! Time for another donation methinks!

And sadly Niamh and Sinead will now be heading home early to be with their families, as COVID-19 strikes again. I loved their contribution, and hope they will be back next year.

It all seems a bit surreal to me right now, but the selections of Kozzi and Toby have spiked my interest to something like that of a 'normal' season. No doubt I'll be yelling my lungs out on Sunday arvo, and the neighbors in will be nodding to each other, and sagely saying "the Demons game must have started".

The AFLPA fought for and won a larger share of revenue in their current CBA, and now that the future good of the game is at stake, they should share some of the pain. Surely it must work both ways.

Hey od, if you can stick fat with the Dees for 60+ years, you have the endurance to weather any storm. Best wishes mate!

"Will Schofield says the Eagles are prepared to face Melbourne without a crowd to cheer them on" Of course he's gonna say that to the media ........... in the full knowledge that he and his team mates are already making a disproportionate contribution to the national shortage of toilet paper.

Agree. Category B Rookie, with plenty of time to develop. Is there another Jimmy or Sean waiting to be recruited from the Emerald Isles?

A game of two halves (as they all are, but you know what I mean). We ran out of players, and (consequently) legs in the second half. Four, and possibly five ACLs in a season is just [censored] luck, no matter how you spell it !

Every Demon would have to love LJ, and the promise, hope and excitement that his untapped potential brings. One thing that sticks in my mind is a comment made by Jason Taylor in 'To Hell & Back' that his improvement in the last 6 months has been 'dramatic'. I have a gut feeling that he will maintain that trajectory.

I agree with this deanox. Kossie adds a completely different dimension. I thought during the game that he would have been a handy ground level addition when the ball was bombed forward. Might have snagged a couple, I reckon.

I thought the knock on Tomlinson was that he doesn't get enough of the ball. Wow! 32 isn't too shabby.

A lot to like ....... a bit to work on ....... headaches for the Match Committee. I like it a lot!

It looks like a Premiership banner to me!

Our run of AFLW injuries is akin to what our men have endured in recent years. Four ACLs is totally crap!

No Salem adds to the intrigue about his 'no show' at training on Tuesday. Any insights?
