I said we’d lose to Sydney and beat WCE!!! And it happened. Thought we’d get beaten by GWS but can’t see them beating us now, Dees win convincingly next week. Finish 5th

    I put my hand up as doubting we would get it done this year. Frustrated by the ability to take chances and inability to convert.

    Well done Demons, this is a massive moment! Whether this year or next, our time is coming.

    well done @Wiseblood for continuing to stay positive. Hope you feel vindicated and enjoy the lead up to September!

    How good was that! Milkshake is crucial to this club. Harmes was awesome. Jonesy played a captain's game. Gus, Clarry and Maxxy solid as always. Loved the INs. Hannan was fantastic. Didn't hit the scoreboard (kicks were woeful), but I really liked what I saw from Weids. He's going to be a great contributor. Even Kent gave a little in the second half.

    Modelling for the finals:

    First good news (from a 'I don't like the Roos' perspective) is it doesn't look like they can make it from here, same as Port as they need the cats to lose to the suns... Yikes.

    If we win (regardless of hawks Sydney game) we finish 5 and we play cats at G.

    If we lose and Hawks win, we play Sydney over there.

    If we lose and Swans win, we play Hawks at G.

    I really don't know what I prefer. I'd rather win (obv) and knock the cats out of the finals. Can't lose to them 3x in a year, right? Plus, it would be great for the story to knock the cats out of the finals!

    BRING IT!

    Thanks Trac. The Foxtel footage went straight to the Golf. Amateur hour again.

    Sorry if it’s been mentioned already but I’m too shaky and might have missed it, 7 news went straight to the news I was told.

    Biggest win in 12 years and they do this?

    Milkshake is one of our most important players.

    It’s not Foxtel fault the 7 feed doesn’t continue. Foxtel always show the song on Bounce.

    I also hope that [censored] Sam Newman eats some humble pie.

    Pretends he is salt of the earth when he is the biggest private school bully going around.

    I do feel a little vindicated, but I am so excited to not only play finals, but that we as a supporting collective get to enjoy it as well.  So many of us have stuck fat through some of the worst football ever witnessed, and we deserve to enjoy every moment that this win brings.  If we win a final, and holy hell do I hope we do, then that will be amazing, but to get this huge monkey off our back will set us superbly for the years to come.  I hope you enjoy it too!

    I personally held my nerve in the last when we slipped behind. The maturity the players brought to this match from the very start allowed me that confidence. A big tip of the hat to Goody as we came out steady and a little less gung ho with our movement in the last.

    6PR commentators in their post match show are saying that Vandenberg should get a week. Late and an elbow

    Surely not enough force?

    I don’t know if it’s been mentioned, but how sweet to beat the team that denied us a place in the finals last year

    I want us to win next week, the G is our home and even though it hasn't been a happy hunting ground for us of late that needs to change. Let's start from next week.

    Ever since round one I've wanted us to face the cats in the finals. I want nothing more than for us to swipe those arrogant smiles of the cats fans faces. They've been lucky too long now, they didn't deserve round 1, and they didn't deserve round 18. Let's take them down when it really matters.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • 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?
