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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
