Loving this winning feeling. Every game is like Christmas and birthday combined. If I could bottle it I would. So awesome to hear the roar of Dees fans.

This is what many supporters get every September although ours is no doubt sweeter due to its long time coming.

What if we win not only the flag but a sucession of them and we have a decade just like the glory days?

Imagine no longer a club defined by 50 years of failure and we become better than the powerhouse of old. 

All things are possible.

Yep, I'd simply be happy with the 1.

If we win one, we should win more. Our list is young, talented and hungry.

We have to keep turning our list over and to make it Better and stronger than what it is then.

 

If we won one and then faded like the Dogs I'd be forken furious.


I would be happy to see one.

But next year i want another one.

And the year after that i want one as well.

While we are at it, i also want one the following year.

Year 5... what the hell, might as well throw in another one.

My internal organs should have failed by then, so what happens afterwards wont bother me. 

But my family will want more of them.

Bulldogs won a flag with a mediocre list throwing the ball to each other at every contest.

The Tigers won a flag with a slightly better than mediocre list + a couple of genuine stars

 

The list that we have demands multiple flags ala Geelong/Brisbane/Horforn.

 

Anything less will be a failure.

Yes, I think the future is that bright.

WD you will enjoy this excellent article by Jack Niall  https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-in-sweet-spot-for-long-term-success-20180915-p50417.html  He says: 

In the giddy afterglow of Melbourne’s romping win over Hawthorn, I asked a former Melbourne official when the Demons had last been so well-positioned.

‘‘1954,’’ he replied.

He wasn’t kidding. The Melbourne Football Club – out of the finals for a dozen years in a draft system – has the best platform for sustained success of any club in the competition.

What If?  Not quite ready to dream of the glory days again but happy to shift from 'one week at a time' to 'one flag at a time' :)

Aslong as we keep our list and can cover players who are likely to go out over the next half a decade. I believe we will not only be a top team, but THE top team for a good chunk of years. But getting that to translate into grand finals is another story.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Pray let it be a Melbourne-Collingwood  Grand Final. At least we get the opportunity for revenge for the 1958 Grand Final when they prevented us from winning a record six consecutive Premierships (viz. 1955, 1956, 1957, xxxx, 1959 &1960)!

 To beat Collingwood by a point with a Sam Weideman goal kicked after the siren would be a wonderful sight (especially if the cameras were all trained on Eddie McGuire)! ?

Would be something. So tired of hearing the tired old line “when was your last premiership.”

Yes, my brain almost exploded with 10 mins to go against Hawthorn when it was apparent we would be playing in a prelim....God knows what a flag would do I can't comprehend 1 let alone several!

A variation on the one week at a time mantra: one flag at a time.

Sorry if it read like I was having a go at you - it was meant to support your 'glory days' comment.  Hence the :) to go with my cheeky ' Not quite ready to dream of the glory days again but happy to shift from 'one week at a time' to 'one flag at a time' comment.  I'll word things a bit more carefully in future.

Like you I feel totally nonplussed.  Such a weird and foreign feeling to be this close to the Holy Grail.  Surreal.

We have to strike while the iron is hot.  None of this dynasty business, and dreaming of a decade of dominance.  Sure it may happen but we also may totally fall off the cliff next season. 

We are two wins away from a flag!   If we dont win it this year we may never get this close again.

THIS IS THE TIME!

Well I hope not. My heart would not handle the stress. A 60 point win would suffice. Even then I wouldn’t start celebrating until there was 5 minutes to go.?

While we are at it, i also want one the following year.

Year 5... what the hell, might as well throw in another one.

Why not Dare to Dream.!   If you cannot do it now when can you,   you are a long time dead !

I have friends from the football years earlier   who have done that   dropped dead without reaching a flag again.

 

Now is the time   Go Hard,   2 wins away,   its the players who get it done,  support them,  but we the keyboard players may enjoy while we can. Because we can do bugger all from our side of the fence.

Come on DEMONS !!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
