G'day Burf! I've got my own crew already (family) but there are two ways you could go about joining up with fellow Demons at the footy. One is to make friends with the supporters sitting around you - what type of premium member are you? Redlegs? Trident etc.. Also, late last year, there was a group of Demons who organised pre-game get-togethers and then sat with each other at matches, I think wearing red hats or red shirts or similar. They organised this through this message board - I'm not great with the search engine on here but maybe someone from that group will see your post and point you in the right direction. Dare I ask how you came to be a Demon in the midst of what will go down as one of the club's most disastrous eras? Regardless of the answer, good to hear you're still on board and have resisted the temptation to switch teams - hopefully your decision will pay dividends soon with some success!

There's only going to be one man in Australia feeling worse than Kevin Rudd tonight and that's Peter Costello, the man who who didn't have the bottle to become Prime Minister.

One of the most commonly misused words in the dictionary. I used to use it to describe Garry Lyon's effortless play.

So you don't like Watts because he's a man of few words ... ?

LOL

Dwarf burning? Of course it's us!

Hang on, we're still going to get crucified by the umpires ..

Jack Viney is going to poll well despite playing just 13 games. Averaged 17 touches - more than half of them contested - 4.5 clearances, 4 tackles, and topped 20 possessions on 6 occasions. Great debut in an injury-interrupted season.

Arguably his best / only contribution for the year

This is going to come as a big surprise to Fitz, unless it's written in to the 2-year contract he signed last week.

Well done on a great career Flash, and all the best for the future.

26 including finals ..

The official data from the AFL won't surprise anyone here - 2013 has seen the club record its lowest home game crowds since 1978. We averaged just 21,816 at home games this year, lower than the Bulldogs (22,128) and only slightly better than the Lions (21,178). We had 8 games which drew fewer than 20,000, and 10 games under 23,000. Taking into account away games - where clubs with more supporters bump up the numbers - we averaged just 24,580, which validates the argument that we are hurting not just ourselves, but the competition more broadly. Across the entire competition, crowds are up two per cent against last year's figures. * Found this in the 'Hun today, but it's not online.

He's also very good at initiating those low-5 hand-taps with the other backmen each time we concede a goal.

Jesse Hogan tweeting that Jack has been nominated for Rising Star.

No he won't. Turnbull might be the darling of the inner-city progressives in Sydney and Melbourne, but take him into the 'burbs, or the regions, and you'll find that most people think he's a pompous [censored]. That he's the golden boy of Q and A pretty much sums it up.

Howe and Pedersen out, Nicholson and Strauss in.

James Magner's been upgraded and Mitch Clark placed on the LTI

Actually he's already signed with Freo.. he will make his AFL debut against Melbourne Sunday week.

Normally it would be, but when you get analised every week for 7 years you get kinda used to it, I imagine...

I'd be happy if we could just get consecutive goals

Well, it's an away game, which means we'll get the same crap rights and privileges we got last week during the so-called MFC 'home game'.

I'm throwing my lot in with BA Santamaria and the Movement.

I can't speak for his father but I know Adam and he grew up a Collingwood supporter ...
