The Feelings Back


JV7

Recommended Posts

How good is it to have the love for footy & winning back. I was out walking the dog this morning listening to SEN and to hear people talking melbourne up and praising them bought a smile to my face and put a spring in my step. For this first time since the mid 2000's we are a club with some passion and direction and I couldn't be happier. The last few years I've gone to the MCG and almost dreaded going knowing what the result would be, now I can't wait for each week to roll past so I can get to the G to watch the boys and when they run out through the banner with the theme song belting out I know what I'm going to get from the 22 players. I'm excited for the second half of this year and beyond, bring it on! Go Dees.

Probably my favourite thing is the anticipation of the coming game. I can't wait. The previous years left me feeling sick at the idea of watching, then spending game day wondering why I was yet again torturing myself by watching for the nth week in a row.

I reckon there's a good chance we'll drop the ball a couple more times this year as we did against GWS, and looking at the draw there's a good possibility of a belting or two if we happen to drop it on the wrong day. I've seen enough this year though to know that even if that does happen, it *is* just temporary, we *are* getting better, and that we finally have the right leadership to get us where we want to be. Just having the light at the end of the tunnel has rejuvenated my will to support this team.

isnt it great to read mondays paper and chat to mates about OUR game,instead of talking about other issues.

give us a couple of more wins and our mates will want to change the subject{like we used to}especially the essendon and carlton ones.

yep,monday has hit a all time high for awhile.

i know i know wet blanket time BUT

in 2010 there was a similar mood in the air

just sayin

Was that when we belted the Swans with a flashy outside game?

This team is being built on defence, by a master builder.

[censored] 2010.

Totally agree, however the other wet blanket is the importance of the appointment at the end of Roos' contract. There is the hope he will stay on, but as it stands he won't be, so we need to nail the appointment of his successor to keep the train rolling.

But at least we can say the train is now on the tracks.

It's a great feeling.

I read all the forums and watch all the footy shows after a win.

After a loss I just mope around on here.

Almost forgot what winning felt like, could not imagine how the players felt.

We've earnt these wins too, strangled half decent teams and battled for the win. Not skipped past an expansion side.

Give me more.

The players were really pumped after beating the Tigers going off facial expressions...It seems to me they are all thinking...HOLY SHAZBA we can actually play....And play well!! We are going ok here!

And I swear someone lit a fuse down at Demonland before this game....Thanks Roosy!!!!

Just listened to Roosy on SEN this morning.

My gut feel is he will want to see this through.

He would love to raise another cup at the 'G.

Our Cup.

Agreed. As long as we keep things at the back end in tip top shape, I reckon Roosy will stay.

My friends dont pity me now. My wife and relo's ( all filth ) arent quite so cocky about QB.

Folk are able to say the words Demons and Footy without breaking into laughter

The poles must be correcting themselves as that freezing in Hell ( a sure sign the Dees are on the warpath ) seem nigh :)

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
