    if you haven’t realised already, this is our time. Sit back relax and enjoy!

    Just noticed I’ve sunk a 6 pack And a full bottle of red.

    Is that a wa thing to do that at events? I went to see queen in concert there last year & they did the wave to which I found a bit odd

    Definitely is a thing. I went to an international rules game at the old Subiaco Oval and as soon as we got on top the wave started.

    No clue who's starting it but damn he clearly gets around to the big events

    How does one come down after a win like that?

    Lying in bed at 12.30 am, reading the posts, and icing my right ankle. Grade 1 sprain jumping for joy in front of the TV after Gawn's snap out of the ruck. Like Steven May, I should be right for the GF thanks to the bye week.

    So many thoughts. Other old timers on Demonland will understand. I was drawn to follow this Club as a teenager by the brilliance, loyalty and humility of Robbie Flower. There have been long dark periods with only occasional flickers of hope since. But nothing, absolutely nothing like this. Doesn't matter what happens in the GF, I am just so proud of this team. And when I dare to dream, I see Gawny holding the Premiership Cup with the team, and I'm sure that I see others in the background: Robbie, Jimmy, Sean and all the supporters who couldn't live to see it.

    But there's one more game, one more challenge against another very good side. A challenge that this team will embrace (as Goodwin so calmly states) And, like the team, I have to put fresh ice on my ankle to prepare...

    Dude, you are about to witness a Premiership.

    Only thing tomorrow will bring is the colors of the runner up.

     

    This team is SERIOUSLY good.

    2 weeks of bliss before a date with destiny.

    The break may have just come at a good time. Gives me time to come down from all the pent up stress pre-game and exuberance post-game, but more importantly, time for May to give himself the best chance of recovery.

    Sending ❤️❤️❤️to everyone back in Melbourne, so fortunate to be there tonight and what did I see absolute ruthless hungry demons side . Work dragged call day, was nervous wreck all day. Went into overload just before halftime when they kicked two, had a couple of frothies with the brother at halftime who said You’ve got this your boys are hunting in packs and 2 goals away from putting Geelong away. I was still pessimistic but my lord they are a good side

    Some of us have only known pessimism until this year.

     

    You've just had a sneak peak at the 2021 Premier.

     

    I suspect we are about to become the second side of the city of Perth. What a time to be alive.

    Whoever we play next week will have to play unbelievable footy to beat us.

    Footscray play Port with that in the back of their mind

    No Eagles or Dockers fan would ever claim the other as their second side.

    Well said, @Jaded. I can also feel the nagging hurt under the exuberant joy.

    It's not hollow - it's full. Full of pride and appreciation for the players and the fans that could get there, for the Perth community that obviously chose the world of men and righteousness over the Orc and goblins of Mordor.

    I am sad for myself and my dad and for you, and Nasher and Andy and 55 and Redleg and WJ and those of us that have spent draining years, talking amongst each other when the club was irrelevant and nowhere.

    Now it's everywhere and at the height of its relevance where our spectators are incapable of even enjoying it together in person - let alone at the ground.

    But we get to see the Demons run around in our jumper in the last Saturday in September and it is something to cherish.

    And we will be doing that together...

    Scrolling in bed with the wife asleep, you and Jaded have moved me to some silent tears here rpfc. Very well said. Nagging hurt is the perfect description. 

    I've nothing to add other than what I said to my 65 year supporting dad on the post game video call...who's to say that this would have happened if this was played at the G? If there had been crowds all year?

    Its happened the way it's happened and couldn't have happened any other way. 

    We're lucky to have something bringing us so much joy and we're lucky to have this forum of kindred spirits.

    Reading this thread and hearing of the happiness, the joy, the disbelief, the emotion - it's almost been as good as watching the game!

    Ahh apologies, I misinterpreted as a 2nd WA side rather than a 2nd option of support.

    Either way my comment on Freo stands.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
