I know this won't happen, but if Freo beat Collingwood in Perth, we will finish 4th with a victory.

Stranger things have happened.   At least its in Perth, and maybe the Dockers will want to avenge their woeful performance vs the Cats.

Wouldn't that truly be a thing of beauty?  Leapfrog over the enemy...!!  We can dream!

Cheers RD....can’t wait either. I’ve been watching Kent’s goal over and over this morning. The most crucial kick for goal in recent times for the MFC and he nailed it from 50. The kick went 60 and landed in the Demon Army. Beautiful stuff!!

Another positive is neither the cows or port Adelaide are playing finals.

They didn't even look at the Crisp 'incident' nor should they. 

Probably because a heap of commentators called it out as: bizarre, ridiculous, worst free kick of the season, umpire clanger.

They deserve all the karma they get, the stories I've heard of how Tex treated Jake all of last season is disgusting, then the after season dogging by Tex and others of Jake. Then the camp fiasco and Tex has had a stinker of a year. Got what they deserved I'm afraid.

Eggzactly LH. I like the last comment there.... "the only one who didnt have his eyes where they should have been, was the umpire."

There are some very funny comments in the Eagles supporters forums.

- Melbourne are much dirtier than I thought

- the umpires were cheating blatantly. Holding the ball doesnt exist for them. The amount of whining was unreal.

- AVB should have been reported for his hit on Cripps as it could have broken his neck

Read the same and have not stopped laughing all day. The umps were generous to both teams regarding HTB for the whole match but geez they had the umps on their side after quarter time 2 to 1. I recall years ago they had 26-1 at half time and now they expect it ALL the time. Nuff nuff's.

87 all over again! Think we may be about to find a whole new gear. 

Is just like when 6 speed gear boxes became a thing...


Just a great feeling to see the win in Perth and to look forward to a crack at the finals.

What makes it even more noteworthy is that we got the win without our best key forward, our best key defender and one of our most critical midfielders. Of those three only Viney looks a chance to return for the first week of finals.

The way we played on Sunday in the absence of these three players and with other depth players also out injured shows me that we have the  critical depth to take on a challenge any team in the finals.

Go Dees!

 

So now we can play without looking over our shoulder all the time. No weight of expectation.

Will be very interesting to see how we tackle GWS without being mentally haunted. The floodgates may be opening.

There are some teams there and abouts that we owe something to. Geelong. Collingwood. Sydney. Hawks. The guys will look forward to meeting any of them.

GO DEMONS

We are swirling wine in a glass

The alchemist sits upon a broad shoulder

Peering into the abyss

On the cliffs edge sits a giant boulder

Nothingness into nothingness descends

Destruction is a citadel at an undetermined end

Searching for resolution 

Steps seeking footprints

Vapour becoming stone

 

 

I love them saying we were dirty, I felt like we’d lost that mongrel we had last year. Yesterday we definitely had it back.

Been waiting a long, long time for opposition supporters to say that about us, and boy does it feel good.

Think you may have had too much of that swirling wine?

 

Long time reader first time poster. How proud does this club make you feel right now! So happy with their effort. Bring on the finals!

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
