Jeez, you are a better man than me H_T!  Here it 10 hours post match, and I still haven't calmed down.

I think it’s due to the confidence in the team that play for each other, the consistency observed - knowing that the boys “have got this” to get the job done. 

Still excruciating seeing howler turnovers like we saw in the first half. But just buoyed by the support for the team - our 23rd man. Loving the MFC wave of momentum.

We had 15 t/o's by foot in the first half.  Atrocious. For all the talk of the Hawks missing shots on goal this was the key issue. Should have been 10 goals up at the half.....

Can’t believe how calm I was throughout the game. Must be a sign of a great side developing maturity before my eyes.

I've been calm for most of this finals series, although when Hawthorn got back to within a couple of goals in the fourth quarter the nerves started to kick in.

I'm still just celebrating the fact that we are even playing finals.

On a side note, has anyone seen @Wiseblood recently? Hasn't posted since before the Geelong game.

Of all of us, he's been the shining light of optimism over the past few years (and yes, sometimes a little too much). But I hope now he's getting to enjoy this finals run with the rest of us.

Hey mate,

Thanks for the tag.  I'm still around (been swamped with work, sickness, my little girl got sick as well etc) so I haven't been around much lately.  I'm hopeful that it's all passing now though!

I've been enjoying every bloody minute of this and what makes me even happier is that I know everyone here has been enjoying it as well.  No matter how negative, positive or in between we've been, we can all enjoy this together as passionate and faithful Demon fans.  It's just amazing.

Thanks for thinking of me and I'll hopefully have more time to enjoy this with you all in the next few days!  Go Dees!

A holiday?  I wish, mate.  Have a bit of time up my sleeve but won't be taking it until after the Dees have won the flag in just over a week's time! :)

Just realised that when Gunston hit the post from 10 metres or whatever that he was only one second or so away from being crunched by Viney. No wonder he missed!

That is the eternal secret with Gunstone .... footsteps! Viney knew it and Gunstone was just lucky to put the ball on his foot.

Why?

I've loved this finals series, I've seen my team play great footy on two consecutive Friday nights in front of over 90,000 people both times.

It sure beats watching on from the sidelines like we have the past 12 years.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
