All is well in Demonland



Recommended Posts

Well its Nine Zip.

Hard fo fathom as well as the fact that last time we were this good we won....do I dare say it...f....

I cant finish it. Its beyond comprehension.

As annoying as Bt was commentating , he was interviewing Dees supporters about their fears and new confidence. It was great to see some older supporters talk about the wait.

Ive never seen Dland so happy. Sure theres the usual backhanded comment or doubting of someones footy iq or rediculous changes but on the whole at nine zero we are a happy bunch.

So many likes and loves you can tell we are on an upward path.

Long may it continue.

Ill say it...a flag? Take that Bt.

my spleen is enlarged - i haven't been able to vent it for some time.

That' the problem with omitting Jake Melksham.

I'm really looking forward to the next three weeks. Get over Adelaide then back to back against the other two form teams of the competition.

Bring it on.

What a wonderful resource we have in Demonland!

I've been a Life Member ever since membership categories were introduced, and each season I try to toss in a few extra bucks to say thanks to Andy and the crew, who contribute their time, energy and 'hard-earned' to provide an outstanding service for us long suffering Demons fans.  

Given that I'm in such a good frame of mind about 9 zip, I hereby pledge to make an additional donation if we make it to 10 zip.

ps I hope this post isn't out of line Andy / Mods.  If it is, please delete.  My donation will be forthcoming regardless.

Can honestly say I've never been so relaxed watching us play.
Trusting the game plan and commitment of the players to get it done.
But come finals time I'll be a forkin' mental case.

Dunno about anyone else but i fill full of apprehension watching us play I can't bear to see us loose a game just thinking about how we will respond the following week, I almost want it over with?. At the same time I'm loving it and hoping we go undefeated all season including finals......

Same here. Such a weird feeling not stressing over what could go wrong.

Demonland is awesome! My only regret is that I only learned of its existence four weeks ago. I really, really could’ve done with it last year. In early March a three-week visit to Warsaw blew out to seven months thanks to covid. All I had was a 6-min highlights video on YouTube after each match, which I only watched if we’d won. The first (and only) match I watched in it’s entirety was the grannie, and that was on Day 11 of hotel quarantine in Adelaide. Oh, how I could’ve done with Demonland last year. ❤️?

When (if) we do lose a game:

If we lose to a bottom team - Drinking bathwater.

If we lose to a top team - Not ready for the pressure of big games.

If we lose to a middle team - Never as good as our wins made us look and really the middle is where we belong.

Similar commentary will align with it being a big loss, small loss or middle loss.

The only realistic option is to not lose again.  Ever.

The last 2 weeks are the calmest I think I’ve ever been watching Melbourne play. I just had faith we would get on top and get the job done, and even if we didn’t, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

I’m usually an absolute nut case when I watch Melbourne. It has bought out the best and worst of me at times over the years.

They can be as arrogant and drunk as they come. So long as they’re Dees fanatics, they’re fine by me. ❤️??

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
