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.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
