Pretty sure once we won 5 games and our percentage was north of 70, the dark days were over....

    Agreed, the 'dark days' were over once we had two season each with better win tallies than we previous would've managed in three seasons combined.

    Now we're looking to make the good times roll in. The really, really good times.

    The league is perfectly positioned for a team with stars on every line to take it by the scruff of the neck and dominate for an extended period. One with the quality of Brisbane in the early 2000s or Hawthorn and Geelong more recently. It’s a vacancy waiting and pleading to be filled.

    When you have the depth that runs deep and injury free the results  come with it. Over my time I would look to our top 10 players and match them against the other clubs without being biased and IMO i struggled to find between 5 to 7. However l now believe we have at least 15 without hesitation. Hopefully the bad times have left us.

    Equally the competition is very capable of chewing up and spitting out the masticated remains of sides that think they are close to greatness, but don't quite have what it takes.  Just ask the Saints, Giants, Bombers, Bulldogs, Pies, Blues and Dockers teams of the past decade.  No mercy Demons, it's a brutal comp and our beloved team will need everything going our way for once to claim the ultimate prize.

    ...but surely after over half a century of trial and tribulations, the footy gods can be on our side for once?

    I'm curious as to whether they approached anyone from the club for comment. That they got quotes from Beamer and Ox and ran with it as a 'story' is a bit odd.

    Maybe they approached the club and got shot down. If that is so, I'm happy in a strange way. It shows those within are not inclined to pump their own tyres up and get ahead of themselves.

    Great song. Seeing the old warriors makes me emo. If we won a granny I'd cry tears of joy.

    All I can see is Brisbane 2001- 2003.

    hopefully our back flanks don't turn out to be serial whingers.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      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?
