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.

 

Yes. Wife things I’m crazy

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!!! 

Cried for about 5 minutes after Melk kicked the last goal.

Great story mate.

Enjoy it and soak it all up!

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.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
