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.

    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.

    • 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.
