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

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

 

 

We finally arrive to the biggest day for our club in 57 years. 
 

Immortality awaits our Demons. Take it with both hands Dees, leave no doubt. 🏆

 

I’m ok. I normally sit up at 2:30am making food for tomorrow

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.

Could you be the only one who attended both? I don’t think anyone else here did

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.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.
