Not saying.

What, she can't talk? Untie her Uncle.

 

Yep i cried and screamed and went fuckinh crazy.

Yes, yes I did. Sobbed when we missed out last year during the Eagles-Crows match, different type of tears this time!


MY eyes watered but didn't leak. There was a lot of looking around in random directions and quite a bit of pacing back and forward aimlessly.

As I was leaving a West Coast supporter up at the bar stopped and shook my hand and wished me/us good luck. In my delierium I swear he looked like Glen Jakovich, or possibly Thanos.

What I've found most interesting is the repeated pattern all night of sometimes just stopping and looking around me, like I needed to do a quick check reality was in tact.

 

I dropped a few tears watching the Highlights package. 

Game wasn’t shown in Asia. I will be home for next week and beyond....

I love music, but I never realised what a beautiful sound the siren makes at the end of a footy game, particularly this one. So proud of the guts and commitment shown today. No tears but a very big lump in the throat. Can't mix it with the big boys eh?

I live in Perth so extra thrill for me to beat the weagles on their own dunghill.Twice in a row.

Better watch my car with MFC plates at the shops tomorrow, last year someone decided to slash one of my tyres.


I just felt emotionally drained man, like i'd been in a 2 hour argument with the missus. Chest still heavy after the siren. So no tears from me, I think if we win a final like we did in 94 or 2000 and i saw my family celebrrating then yes, tears will come.

No tears after the siren but very emotional.

I nearly lost it when I told my 6 yr old over the phone that we are playing finals. His reaction was something I won't forget in a long time.

Top of the morning people! How many of you have barely had any sleep? It’s gonna be a tough Monday!

Ditto. Whatever though, that’s what Demonland is for!

Was banned again from the TV room by my wife

She is a long time supporter 50 plus years but she remains calm and aloof

Dont know how she does it but this is the 6th banning this year my record is getting worse 

She is now considering a life time ban  Thank heavens for Demonland Nasher I agree!

No tears, but it was the first time I sang the team song with my 3yo son. I'm not one to belt it out unless I'm at the ground, but I couldn't help myself after that win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

  • NON-MFC: Round 07

    Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Fremantle

    For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

  • PREGAME: Richmond

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
