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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
