Can still remember the day! I was on an RDO. I was browsing Demonland and Paul Roos wasn’t the coach. Went and had a shower, came out, jumped back on to Demonland, and Paul Roos was the coach.

I haven’t showered since. Saving it for Grand Final day.

Seriously though, how fitting is it that the anniversary is so close to our final? Almost exactly 5 years after the journey began. We all hoped it would be the beginning of something great, but I think many of us are still struggling to comprehend that it is actually happening.

    I was wonder what the stench was. Did we change servers for nothing?

    An amazing turnaround really.  From basket case to finals in just 5 years. 

    Many have had a hand in this but Roos' delivered the midfield he promised by recruiting Brayshaw, Oliver, Salem, Harmes, Tyson and Petracca.  He also turned Gawn into an AA ruckman and Jones into a better leader and team player.  That midfield will carry us for a long time to come. 

    He also did the heavy lifting and made the tough calls on many players in particular two captains.   

    For that and everything else.  Thank you :roos:.  Love it that you are now a Demon supporter!

    Edit:  And he delivered a successful succession by selecting Goodwin as our coach!

    This is something that get's a bit forgotten when talking about our rebuild. Sure teams have been at the bottom of the ladder and gotten back to finals in that time. But we were terrible.

    Ah yes, the famous Nasher shower that turned it all around. It was in fact you and your questionable personal hygiene which saved this club!

    There's basket cases and there's basket cases. We were coming from a very long way back. It was an amazing appointment at the time and it is an amazing appointment now. He started the ball rolling.

    Thanks Roosey!

    Possibly the first ever example of a successful 5-year plan.

    Thanks Roosy.

    Another of my suggestions, (Roos to coach us),  which came to fruition, a season or 2, later.

    No complaining about kids in school,,, and uprooting them, hey?   better they complete, before moving.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
