Happy Grand Final Day, Demonlanders (east coast!).

Remember, in the words of a wise Demon this season: "Whatever happens, we still love you".

    Yeah probably too ambitious isn't it?

    I'll change me prediction to 15 & 3

    He's a very accurate kick for goal, can't see him missing 3.

    Been wide awake since 5am. Am trying to post here to help fall back asleep. Doubtful. This is going to be a very long day. It’s like the massage I had to relax yesterday never happened

    The old Kings Park photo op. I do love Perth as I have family and friends there BUT the attitude towards "easteners" is small town minded. Fortunately most don't subscribe to it. Max lead our boys to the premiership. I was at the last one and been waiting a long time  for this one. Bring it home. Go Dee's.

    This whole thing about playing once in 28 days [censored] me no end

    We are playing our 3rd game in 29 days tomorrow, 4th in 35 days

    WBD are playing their 4th game in 28 days, also their 4th game in 36 days (5th in 37)

    Makes no [censored] difference 

    Can someone get this thru to Matthew Lloyd. That's all he sprouts is one game in 28 days. Mind you he is tipping us.

    We started the cheer squad in 1959 so have seen a few (1956 onwards). In 1964 we were in T-section (city end) which was standing room only  but had 4 rows of seats on the fence. After the game we stayed at the G overnight as the club put on food and drinks and we just soaked up the atmosphere. Played footy on the ground in eerie light around midnight. Still have very clear memories from that finals series and looking forward to new memories from this season.

    After so many years of finding ways to deliver less than expectations, it's time for this club to find a way today. Won't be easy against a quality side...we are going to need to withstand a huge amount of pressure and respond with more pressure for longer.

    There are no ifs or buts today. Just find a way.

    I was up before the sparrow farted.

    Every time I think of the game I just picture Gawny holding up that cup.

    Into the garden for a few hours now to burn up some nerves

    Agree. It should be a game every two weeks.

    I feel really calm so far, but this afternoon I will be a wreck and when they run out ill start crying with nerves.

    They are the better team, are more united and want to win it more than the dogs - i think they get it done.

    Was just going over our year 2000 fwd line and wondering how we didnt go all the way.

    Sharwtz, neiter, farmer, robertson and green. Wow

    Lets do it for them.

    Started barracking for Dees in 64, I am 64 and my blood sugars were 6.4 this morning. If that’s not a positive omen for a win I’m not sure what else there is. Go Dee’s!!

    It’s a hell of a forward line. Can anyone remember why Cam Bruce didn’t play? Injured in the PF? The inexperienced and undersized Ben Beams takes his place.

    The rest of the ground wasn’t that strong though. A good honest midfield with the likes of Rigoni, A.McDonald, Leoncelli and Powell, against an experienced, invincible Bombers outfit with a mix of good (Mercuri, Misiti etc) and great (Hird). The backline looks flimsy on paper in hindsight. Ingerson is the lynchpin but his support cast is Matthew Collins and big Nicho - again, honest competitors, but they’re no Lever and May. The running backs are Walsh, Ward and Woey - all capable footballers but won’t get near it if the mids and tall defenders get spanked (spoiler alert: that’s exactly what happened).

    I reckon the ‘21 Demons would spank the ‘00 team by a similar margin to what Essendon did.

    Its off topic but Id like to point out the flak we got after 2018 season.

    We were pointed out for going from a prelim to the bottom tier the next year.

    Well the grand finalists of that year.....look at them now compared to us.

    Travis and Shane were not too shabby but our backline certainly got exposed.

    It certainly says a lot for the Dons team

    A wrist or a forearm injury in the PF I think.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
