    Another year bites the dust.

    The crowning of a new premier always bring's me pain.

    For The Hawks it might of been 17 years but it seems like yesterday to me when they dominated the 80,s & early 90's.

    I can't get my head around how they have rebounded to the ultimate success before we have had a taste.

    Being a product of the 60's I have seen decade upon decade of heartache for our once Mighty Team.

    I am so over rebuild after rebuild & pray this latest attempt delivers The Holy Grail.

    Rant over, I feel better, bring on Trade week & The draft.

    Yeah, I heard people on the news talking about Hawthorn breaking their 17 year drought and I thought "wait just a minute. All things being equal, a team should win a flag every 16 years, so seventeen years is not that long."

    If you want to talk about Premiership droughts, go and talk to the Saints or the Dogs. They've been waiting even longer than we have, without even the consolation that they were, at one stage, any good.

    Saints won in '66, but I see your point

    But they've only won one. Same with the Dogs. At least we've got eleven others to hang our hats on. Or do the extra Premierships make it even more painful?

    But you said waited longer, which is wrong. But moving on.

    It makes it easier definitely, knowing our club has great history, but yes it does make it frustrating that we can't win won now.

    Oh right. I get it now. I only meant the Dogs. Good pick up, though.

    I'm hoping we win a flag before the Saints and Dogs,.....no one wants to be the team who has gone the longest without a flag (Right now the Dogs have the longest drought). Just ask the Swans...they are wrapped they won one after 73 years.

    That's very true. 1964 was a very, very long time ago! :(

    It's time to end the drought and hopefully before both the Saints and the Bulldogs.

    Unfortunately it seems like we need about 5 years worth of rebuilding first! :wacko:

    Hopefully these two sides can hold out until we return.... :unsure:

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
