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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
