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: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
