    My grandfather managed it somehow (of course back then it was only 36 years). Kids are soft and footy should be sufferingly hard. That makes the demons the best because to support Melbourne is to choose suffering over joy.

    I'm 34 and am honestly starting to think I won't ever see one. My old man was too young to remember much of 64, I'm sure he wishes his old man hadn't have gone the hard sell on the dees when he was a kid. 

    My little boy is dees also. He is too young to understand what he is getting himself into. I feel so much guilt making him a dees fan knowing the heartache that is likely to follow.

    53 years is a lifetime for many. I couldn't bare not seeing one in mine.

    Probably also worth noting that Richmond had something like 40+ players to choose from each week during the Finals. I don't recall them having much in the way of injuries during the year either.

    Yesterday my granddaughter (11 yrs old) said that she is now going to go for the tigers.  Don't know if she is prepared to pay the price, however:  her dad says she would have to leave home and I said: don't bother coming to my place!

    Does the 8-year-old give a rats what happened in the 45 before they were born?

  • Quote

    If we had a year to win a flag, it was this one. Richmond made it all the way with around 6 players on their list who wouldn't start in our best 22, and now they are premiership players.

    I hope the thought of 'what if?' lingers in each and every players heads over the off season and start realising that ANY team can win a flag, no matter if they have a bloke like 'Castagna'  running out in their forward line.

    No. That is exactly what i mean. 

    45 years to an 8 year old is nearly 6 life times ago

    our history means nothing to them

    An 8 year old likes winners. Our wins are prehistoric to an 8 year old

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
