Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all Demonlanders. 

It’s been a tough year for our beloved club. Let’s hope we can bounce back in 2020. 

I want to thank our Mods @Nasher, @Whispering_Jack, @Grapeviney, @george_on_the_outer. They go above and beyond in their tireless work of keeping the forum civil and a friendly, inviting and inclusive place. Things can get heated in here especially in the tough times and the mods do a great job of keeping the peace. 

 Thanks to my Podcast cohosts @Grapeviney, @Supermercado & @george_on_the_outer. It’s a tough job having to front up week in week out when you only win 5 games so thank you guys for not bailing on me. 

 A big big thank you to our regular preseason trackwatchers @kev martin, @Baghdad Bob, @Satyriconhome, @DeeSpencer & anyone else who I’ve missed out. This year you guys have raised the bar and I look forward to your reports in the New Year. A million thank yous.

 And lastly but certainly not least thank you to all of you who make up this wonderful community. This forum is nothing without its contributors. Hopefully 2020 brings us that elusive Premiership so that we can all bitch about the cup not being shiny enough together. 

 Bring on 2020. ???

    Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all.

    It's the generally good natured banter on Demonland that helps get us through seasons like this.

    Nothing like a good argument or difference of opinion.

    Also nothing like some of the really informative stuff we get to share such as the training reports and well founded rumours (scoops).

    Thanks to the crew for making it all happen & thanks to the majority of posters for making it an enjoyable experience.

    Merry Christmas Demonlanders. I’d like to apologise for anything stupid I’ve said and all the other stupid things I’m bound to say over the forthcoming season. 
     

    As a long-game Christmas gift to you all, I have decided that if we don’t win the flag in 2020, I will super-glue myself to the statue of Norm Smith outside the G, and simultaneously hold a hunger strike until all the other teams acquiesce into just letting us win 2021’s flag. 
     

    This is something Darren Burgess hasn’t thought about,  and I feel it’s the missing link in our plan.

    ScoMo went for a little break while the country burned. Who cares, Kev bolted while Dees preseason was in full swing. Unforgiveable.

    Only joking Kev, you're an absolute legend. I could never put into words what your preseason reports have meant to me during a tough time in my life. I truly appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Have a great Christmas.

    Thanks for that, it reminded me to break out the Kevin Bloody Wilson song today.

    Not for the more "sensitive" members here. Please take note of the warning

    A huge thank you to Andy and all others who make Demonland such a wonderful place for us to meet and share our woes, disappointments, hopes, dreams and occasional joys.  As an 'interstater', remote from the Melbourne media, I honestly don't know where !'d be without a healthy serve of Demonland to go with my Weet Bix and muesli 365 days a year.  Hope Santa was generous with red and blue gifts for everyone, and that 2020 brings something very special, even if we do have to wait until September!

    A disappointing year on field, but always nice to have this place to vent, dissect and hope.

    All the best to all at Demonland! Mods, what an outstanding forum and fan site.. thanks!

    To all Posters, whether I agree or not, Thanks for providing a really interesting conversation and banter and occasionally heated discusiion!

    It is the PASSION, that we share and although we do have differences at least we are united in one thing,

    A LONG OVERDUE FLAG!

    So I send this All the best!

    " Try not too stay too static or cute.

    Premierships won long ago memory can decay and become like brown Squashy Fruit,

    Change, is the seed to personal growth and a footy club so passionate, that it demands perfection and swear on the Grand old Flag Oath!

    And submit to the Challenges that aspire to greatness, all that we seem,

    Follow the Blueprint, those in command, and there stands before us The Premiership Dream!"

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
