Didn't even think about the hoodoo until I was leaving the ground. I'm really happy about this win for quit a few reasons. Hoping it provides a solid springboard into next season.

 

No doubt it's embarrassing, but it doesn't help when we're playing against a team nobody gives a rats about.

And actually the noise from the crowd and the atmosphere was brilliant

I was particularly fond of the deadly silence every time GWS kicked a goal, or the booing. It was a nice touch.

We also created a new one for the lowest crowd at Etihad, but that one is on us, not the players

I'm kind of thrilled with this record. It's the fans telling the AFL in no uncertain terms what they think of being given such a rubbish time against a rubbish team at the wrong stadium. If they want us to turn up they can let us play our home games at our home ground at a decent time. Playing the Spice Girls less would help as well.

 

Last round Thursday nite game next year . We wont make the finals who cares

Most important records to break next year:

1. Winning 2 games in a row.

Until we break this embarrassing record we will never go anywhere

2. Beating North Melbourne

Because I hate their guts

Yep - there was a moment when a GWS player (do they have names?) kicked a goal from nowhere, and all that could be heard was the sound of crickets, and the weak groan of the gears in Derwayne's brain trying to work out what had happened. It was eerie seeing GWS players tussling each others hair with no crowd noise.

We also sounded very vocal on TV.

After today, if we win round 1 in 2016 I'm calling it back-to-back and ticking off no. 1.

I worked out why we never got the points there up until today.

It thought it was to do with the wings and the size of the ground originally but now I know it is because we have been a bunch of weak spirited ,useless retardos for the past 10 years.

And GWS tanked.

Would Like this several times if I could Jaded

That was also our first win the final round of a season since the Kreuzer Cup in 2007.

Was that at Doglands? Was that the last win there? We're any of our current list playing in our last win at Doglands?

Nope. It was at the 'G and Travis Johnstone ran around by himself for 46 or 47 possessions.

Let's not get too silly

No doubt it's embarrassing, but it doesn't help when we're playing against a team nobody gives a rats about.

In a timeslot nobody gives a rats about (1.10pm sucks at the best of times), and on Father's Day.

I'm consigned to us being given more Etihad home games given Carlton wants to move more home games from Etihad to the G (and hey, why not right, they're Carlton so they get what they want), but hopefully the AFL will stop and consider whether there's any point.

Was that at Doglands? Was that the last win there? We're any of our current list playing in our last win at Doglands?

I think just Jones and Dunn.

I wish they'd break the annoying record of losing whenever I tip them and winning whenever I tip against them.

They cost me $200 today because the pricks underneath me had nothing to lose and went the Dees.

We all know our embarrassing record against the Shinboners over the last decade but the boot used to be on the other foot . When they knocked us off on the G in 1969 , it was their first win there since 1952 !

First win in September since 8 September 2006.

That's the only thing I love about playing the expansion sides. The small crowd is amplified because everyone's on the same side

I'm not counting a Round 1 win as 2 in a row. It needs to be within the same season. Let's not get selective and desperate. We all know consistent foitball over a season is key.

It should also be noted that this year we won both the first and last games of the year

i haven't researched it but i suspect it's quite a few years since we have done that

Have we ever beaten a team by 39 and then lost to them by 98 in the same year?

In 1996, we lost to Collingwood by 94 points in Round 2, and then 8 weeks later in Round 10 we beat them by 38.

    The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
