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

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

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
