Last GREAT Win

Featured Replies

Was pondering this today .

Just looking forward to a game that actually means something in the grand scheme of things that gets the heart truly pumping .

Losing to Richmond in 2009 was a game that actually meant something in the grand scheme of things and was the greatest loss we've ever had.

 

Just remembered the Round 4 win in 2006 against Sydney. Can't believe I didn't mention that in my earlier post. We were 0-3, we'd lost to Carlton (the wooden spooner of that year; that loss, and the later one to Carlton ruined our top 4 chances that year...still haven't fully gotten over 2006 lol), Sydney were the reigning premier, and we were at the SCG. Had a few injuries, down numbers, had to fight back, and I still remember screaming madly when Bruce kicked the winning goal late in the fourth. Kick started a run of 11 wins from the next 12 games.

 

This week....

I fell into the trap of thinking we were going to beat Hawthorn at half time in Round 2.

That'll be the last time I ever think we're going to beat them until we actually do it.

Oh man how I want to beat them...

I fell into that trap too. Admittedly it was because we were playing some decent footy.

First game I've left well before the final siren, that one.

  • 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.
