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!!!

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

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
