    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
