Watched the game alone which is a little sad but nice to know you guys and girls are all along with the ride.

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

Beat Geelong 3 times in one season

Regulation 4 goal Round 5 win

After the siren at Kardinia 

and, well ….

Forget Eddie ....if anyone deserves a gig in W.A. to see the Granny it's this bloke.

 

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...


When was  last time in a big game - not a Suns game - knew we had it half way through the third

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.

Best. Win. Ever. I have not experienced anything like that before. Amazing.

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.

 

Its always another team.

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. 

Umpires were surprisingly super balanced - maybe a little favoured towards the crowd - thank you WA we love you!

I no longer feel sick, what was I thinking earlier…?! 
 

Port and Dogs are gonna be like…

come game day…

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
