My WhatsApp group all went to bed at half time. Sat downstairs on my own and thought ‘here we go again’. Burst into tears when the siren went. No one to celebrate with but I cried happy tears. So prou

We've finally broken through.

For so many years, we've been laughed at, dismissed, forgotten. Mentally fragile? Yep. Inconsistent? Hell yeah.

To do this against the Cats, at their home, with some dodgy AF umpiring at the end (that deliberate call was hot garbage right after the missed call against the Cats) is HUGE. Changing of the guard. 

So...

After 57 long years, we finish the year on top. It doesn't mean everything obviously and the stats say we won't win the flag as minor premiers, but stats and history be damned, we are no longer tied to our past failures, or our ageing legacy. This is finally a future we are building from the ground up. So proud of the boys.

New rules. Here we come.

Im sorry i was so down on thus team at half time.

I thought we were throwing away our season.

Cats are good but had the umps really help first half. But they are too old and wore themselves out.

Viney should be given credit too.

Lever Oliver bb kozzie well done.

Langers too.

Max the new sharp shooter.

I told my demon friend at 3/4 time that we will kick 6 goals and win.

was half joking but had a feeling.Wish I had backed them at the time.

Unbelievable win. Truly unbelievable. I thought we were gone and they proved me wrong. This team is finally coming good.

Well done on on finishing top boys. Stick it right up everyone!

Can't wait to near Scott's carry on about having to travel to Adelaide to play Port. This team will get so much out of this win. 

@Mr Steve

I was positive as I could be at half time and again at 3/4 time. But you post at the last break that we would make up a 6 goal deficit took being positive to the next level. Think it’s the post I have enjoyed the most since I joined demonland. Well done sir

I think I’m going to need sedation if I’m going to get any sleep tonight. I wish I was a drinker at times like these.

I probably wasn’t alone in the 2nd and 3rd quarter having flash backs of the darkest days. 

I’m also probably not alone in thinking that was one of the greatest Dees games of all time against all odds. 
 

What a game, what a season. MINOR PREMIERS!!! Onwards and upwards

A lot a people need to take back their angry, hate filled posts

I've discovered that not getting involved in the game day threads is far better for your mental health.

    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
