I did, sobbed with relief more than excitement though. This season has really been testing, I think all will agree there. Always had the belief this side can go all the way this year.

    Not during the game, but must admit after checking Demonland and even Facebook (which is usually a cesspit), I came close. It was great to see so many others enjoying the result.

    When LeCras kicked his goal, I walked over the road and hit golf balls. Walked back in to see Kent seal it. Couldn't believe it, tears in my eyes, got ready to sing the song and of course, Foxtel showed nothing after the game.

     

    I can’t watch this . It is too painful. . Switched on to foxtel to Ww2 doco as a distraction, and my iPad popped up the final scores. Oh what joy....Go you mighty Dees. We could do real destruction in September. I feel 1987 coming on again, except Max will control running over the mark l am sure! Weid was good today...

    I did - and so did my boy. I came to Australia for the 2006 season, my eight year old has never seen them in finals. He sobbed and I told him that this was why you stick with your team, even through all the bad times!

    My old man got me onboard the Dees, I was born in 77. I used to come home from school and ask him why I couldn’t support the Dons or Hawks etc who were winning.

    “Teams for the weak willed my son... I knew you were strong enough to stay the course when I first laid eyes on you... “ and then he’d leave me too it.

    I remember the joy of finals as a 10yr old in 87!!!

    I think I was a little bit. It was just a huge relief and it all just came out!

    Tears for our mate Kev - a central Victorian Demon who passed away last week. Lots of tears in our group of 15 who met up at the pub to watch in Kev’s honour. 

    Good on you Kev - got the final curse off our back, now get to work on the Norm Smith curse!

    Unashamedly so ........ just like I did at the Western oval in 1987.  I live in Canberra where it's bitterly cold tonight, and after making one post on the Post-match thread, I announced that I was going for a walk.  When I returned the tears were streaming.  I blamed the cold.  Mrs Deeoldfart didn't believe me for a minute!

    No tears just yet.

    Just relief, really.

    We got 'miles to go before we sleep' - but it is a milestone and we will enjoy it.

    Kudos to all of you that hung around - it doesn't get easier but we have to opportunity to do some damage.

    30 seconds to go i started shed tears.

    The heartache and pain we've experienced for 12 bloody years..

    It was all worth it.. ???

    I celebrated and got it on video with my two daughters 4y.o and 1 y.o special.

    I shed no more than a solitary tear at my dad's funeral so I'm not about to start bawling over a footy club…but it meant a lot to me regardless.

    Good on us all for sticking through the hard hard times to see this night.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
