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.

    What do you expect when Channel 7 is run from Sydney. No Flippen idea that lot up there.

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
