    Goodwin told us all that they playing group look forward to those very situations and will learn from past mistakes,

    Now we've actually done it and got the monkey off our back ... flayed it, skinned it, deep fried it and made it into dim sims ... more great things are in store.

    Finally!  Finally! Finally!  Demons are in the finals!!  Emotional moment.

    Now, look forward to receiving mfc invitation Finals tickets?. 

    Next week we can relax and enjoy the game - no need to rely on any other results. 

    Only thing to work out is where our 1st final is held.

    Go Dees

    Not to put a damper on this thread, but if Port does Essendon by around 200 points and we lose to GWS by a similar margin then we wont play finals. Hopefully we will all be able to relax a bit after Friday night.

    We've also had 5 changes of Prime Minister!

    Ipads didn't exist.

    ...and like you I had no children.

    This is wild. i'll be a happy man all week.

     

    Had no kids then. Still don’t, doubt I ever will.

    Still vaguely remember 1987, but was still a youngish girl then. Nice to relive at least a taste of what that was like

    I remember one game when I was still in Australia when we rolled Carlton for our first win of that year.

    As I was walking back to the city, I walked by other Melbourne supporters and we gave each other a first pump. We were that bloody happy.

    How I wish I was back in Oz to do the same again.

    I'd almost give up finals to see Essendon lose by that much.

    I don't want to be satisfied because you don't anything in August blah blah blah.

    But [censored] me, we are relevant again and it feels great.

    Demons!

    I am so ridiculously pumped.

    My phone has been in meltdown since the final siren. Despite copping stacks of carp over the years for supporting the Demons, most of my mates (non-MFC supporters) actually seem to be very happy that we made it.

    Now let’s do some damage in the next 6 weeks.

    Who cares what anyone says. We all know a flag is the goal, but we can celebrate milestones on the way, and this one is enormous, especially the way it happened.

    Enjoy it, Demons.

    Posted this on the Post-Match thread, but does anyone have any idea who we might be playing first up in the finals (depending on win/loose against GWS)?

    If we win we’ll finish 5th and play Geel at the MCG (home).

    if we win and Freo beat Coll we will finish 4th and play Richmond

    If we lose, we’ll likely finish 8th and play GWS at Spotless

    Choked up again see that?.

    I hope no one on here ever again claims the jumper and finals don't mean much to the team.

    These two have ridden just about every wave of the last 12 years with us supporters.  A beautiful day for them.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
