Best player in the competition.

Most wins in a season since 1956. 

Defeated every side in the league (except the pies)

Can we keep it up?

Not even worth discussing.

Not yet, no.

Win the Grand Final - yes.

2013 was better when Dean Terlich fished third in the B&F, it should have been our year we were just unlucky.

You could argue 2013 set up this year.


Not sure about best because I haven't been there for all of it but this is easily the most complete and true team effort teams I've seen in my time supporting this club.

I do argue that.

All part of the eight year plan.

Every club needs an eight year plan.

Sky is the limit with this group.  Youngest side to win a final since Bulldogs in 2016... just need to keep it together.

Easily 

I know it’s sad that we can’t be there to watch them, but hopefully this is the start of a successful era.

Now THERE'S a reference to the past that was unexpected. Dean Terlich! One of Paul Roos' first decisions was to delist him, from memory. Boy, have we come a fair way since those days.

Always thought Matt Jones was stiff to just miss out on a top three placing that year. Goes to show the amazing depth we had at the time.

Best side we have ever had. The premiership is for ours to lose. I have faith in Gawny and co.

Have been watching football closely since 1994 and this team would smash every one of teams that have taken the field in that time.

The biggest difference is not in the talent that takes the field, but in the gameplan and selflessness of the players.

This is also the first team I have seen in the red and blue that has defence as it’s primary strength.  94, 98, 2000, 2006 and 2018 all had an exciting and attacking gameplans and mentality.  This was gloriously entertaining and exciting to watch, but was ultimately deeply flawed under pressure against the top teams.

This team not only holds up against the top teams; it plays better against them.

 

 

Personally the Mark Neeld years were easier on my anxiety. I knew we would lose every week. There was no finals stress. 

From what I have seen possibly yes. I think in the midfiels and defence it is a yes but not the forward line. We have not won the flag yet.


Most capable and I would even say most lovable.

I really want them to win and it is even more than just wanting a Demon Premiership - I want these people to win. I believe they deserve it.

I agree with this!

Stress free football 2007 - 2016.

Two sides have made grand finals, win a gf and the answer is yes

Without waning to get ahead of ourselves, we were desperately unlucky that our 2 GF appearances were against possibly the two most dominant teams of their era playing hard brutal take no prisoner footy.  
Both 1988 and 2000 we  fell into the finals without ever being considered by most people a decent chance. 
2021 is very different.  We play as a team every week and if one has a downer, others step up.❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙

I also thought Matt Jones was integral in our 2013 campaign to try and get a 3 win season.

I think this is the best team I’ve seen since 1990 but it will be so Geelong to knock us out in the prelim.

  • 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.

  • 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.
