Goodwin told us all that they playing group look forward to those very situations and will learn from past mistakes,

Now we've actually done it and got the monkey off our back ... flayed it, skinned it, deep fried it and made it into dim sims ... more great things are in store.

Finally!  Finally! Finally!  Demons are in the finals!!  Emotional moment.

Now, look forward to receiving mfc invitation Finals tickets?. 

Next week we can relax and enjoy the game - no need to rely on any other results. 

Only thing to work out is where our 1st final is held.

Go Dees

Not to put a damper on this thread, but if Port does Essendon by around 200 points and we lose to GWS by a similar margin then we wont play finals. Hopefully we will all be able to relax a bit after Friday night.

We've also had 5 changes of Prime Minister!

Ipads didn't exist.

...and like you I had no children.

This is wild. i'll be a happy man all week.

 

Had no kids then. Still don’t, doubt I ever will.

Still vaguely remember 1987, but was still a youngish girl then. Nice to relive at least a taste of what that was like

I remember one game when I was still in Australia when we rolled Carlton for our first win of that year.

As I was walking back to the city, I walked by other Melbourne supporters and we gave each other a first pump. We were that bloody happy.

How I wish I was back in Oz to do the same again.

I'd almost give up finals to see Essendon lose by that much.

I don't want to be satisfied because you don't anything in August blah blah blah.

But [censored] me, we are relevant again and it feels great.

Demons!

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

I am so ridiculously pumped.

My phone has been in meltdown since the final siren. Despite copping stacks of carp over the years for supporting the Demons, most of my mates (non-MFC supporters) actually seem to be very happy that we made it.

Now let’s do some damage in the next 6 weeks.

Who cares what anyone says. We all know a flag is the goal, but we can celebrate milestones on the way, and this one is enormous, especially the way it happened.

Enjoy it, Demons.

I’m in the exact same situation. And I will. I would even if it was 45 degrees tonight

I was actually pretty chilled all game. Never in doubt.

So was l actually. Very strange feeling. demons looked on from the beginning. With this team, you can usually tell. Let’s hope this is just the beginning!!

Posted this on the Post-Match thread, but does anyone have any idea who we might be playing first up in the finals (depending on win/loose against GWS)?

If we win we’ll finish 5th and play Geel at the MCG (home).

if we win and Freo beat Coll we will finish 4th and play Richmond

If we lose, we’ll likely finish 8th and play GWS at Spotless

YEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!

[Wilbur 447]

After the win today my 5 year old daughter and wife were dancing around shouting go dees I almost shed a tear.

This is the best win for our club in a very long time been a supporter since mid 80,s  

 

Go the demons  f€#^ yeah 

[Lucifers Hero 36,983]

 

Choked up again see that?.

I hope no one on here ever again claims the jumper and finals don't mean much to the team.

These two have ridden just about every wave of the last 12 years with us supporters.  A beautiful day for them.
