No we haven’t won the premiership or have another Brownlow winner but minor premiers, 5 in AA, nab rising star, 3 players in the under 22s and coaches award.

We are finally back for real. 
After that smashing against Geelong 2011 I seriously thought will we survive as a club.

we where in such a deep hole I honestly questioned if we’d make it.

but ten years later look at us now!

Thank you all for sticking with the club also, for believing we could turn it all around. 
We have our mighty dees back!

Now let’s get down to business. 
LETS GO DEES!!

It's certainly a good time to be a Dees supporter.

A timely thread, Girl; I was looking for somewhere to say I realised some time (well!) after midnight last night that I was overdosing on Demonland. Time for a break!

I don’t know about anyone else but every time I read something positive about the club it just fills me with utter joy and the tears start welling in my eyes again. I am scared of what I will be like if we do win the grand final! Here’s to the Dees! you're crying season 4 GIF by Blindspot

It definitely is quite pleasing and makes me feel some pride as a Melbourne Demons supporter. We certainly have suffered over the years. All these All Australians and individual awards. They certainly are great!

However, I hope the Demons players have their minds set on achieving bigger things than just mere individual accolades.

I have been a member since 1998 and I remember when I was a bit younger how excited I was in 1998 and 2000. Does anybody remember Demon Radio in those days? I used to love listening to it!

Anyway, this time it feels different. This is the best I have ever seen the MFC play as an entire team! I am just trying not to get too ahead of myself.

I wanna see the Demons win a Premiership so I can celebrate with with my Dad and the rest of my family. I will probably cry tears of joy once the final siren sounds.

But we all need to hold our horses! We still have a long way to go! We have a very formidable opponent in the Brisbane Lions this weekend and that needs to be our focus and the total focus of all the Demons players and coaching staff.

I wanna allow myself to dream though....but I have been disappointed so many times before that it's hard to allow myself to do that for very long. It must be the MFCSS that I have developed over the many years.

Could this be the year we break the drought of a Premiership flag that has been going for 57 years? I honestly don't know yet.... we won't know until the end of September.

Nevertheless, I have high hopes and this song by Panic! At The Disco which is aptly titled "High Hopes" definitely helps me dare to dream that the Demons are in with a chance! Fingers crossed!

GO DEMONS!!!

Sorry @Supreme_Demon but that song got ruined for me when Pete Buttigieg had those dancing flash mobs undulating to it. 

Upon seeing this footage, I too was convinced Trump would remain US president for the next 200 years. 😄😅

Love all the great posts, after watching the AFL Awards this morning I was feeling quite delirious such a great watch and it all rotated around our mighty team and if anyone still doubted Simon Goodwin listen carefully to our top players. All our Key Indicators are pointing towards a Premiership, how crazy happy would that be for thr entire Demon Family.!

This is me!!!! I’m always proud of our boys and always have been. But this overwhelming feeling of pride is insane! 
I could get used to this. 😊

Not sure where to put this.

But today the boys said their goodbyes to their wives and girlfriends which means they could be away from their families for a number of weeks.

Gary Pert sent a bunch of flowers to all the players partners today as a recognition of support and to say thank you.

Well done Gary Pert and the Melbourne Football Club.

We have turned the corner as a footy club - on and off the field. When I look at our progress this year, it’s no fluke. We have a plan and we’re sticking to it - again - on and off the field. 
 

This year has been incredible so far, but the best thing for me, is that we have set ourselves up for years to come.

If Norm really has put a curse on this Grand Old club, maybe he has waited to see how long it would take for the club to be deserving of another Premiership. Maybe now he is ready to lift it off.

He didn’t. It’s just a silly excuse people invented for poor performances. Anyone that believes that must still believe in Santa Claus. Even if he did, he returned as coach and would have immediately reversed any “curse” he put on it.

Lets hope we can win it this year and prove this excuse was nothing but ridiculous hocus pocus.

I always thought of the "Curse of Norm Smith" as the curse placed upon Melbourne by the Footy Gods for what was done to Norm, not the curse of Norm for what was done to him.

He's just a man. He has no power to cause the calamities that have befallen Melbourne over the years. Only the Footy Gods have that power.

    PREGAME: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
