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.

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
