When it was airing, I said to myself "…and back? We're not back yet surely."

So I decided I wouldn't watch this series till we win a flag. Didn't think we'd get this close this quick.

    I watched all the episodes again after our GWS loss earlier in the year and pretended it was all about this years pre-season.

    Around about the 23 minute mark is when they talk about the draft (what we now know as a super a draft) and I always remember Alan Richardson saying we should take Jackson.

    This was the start when the playing group started to build trust in each other our recruitment was brilliant, this was the start of team first. We didn’t get back in one season but we learnt a lot of valuable lessons that have held up and now we are almost there. I enjoyed this and we still had to make those tough calls at the end of 2020 to make sure everyone was buying in.

    Go Dees.❤️💙

    Yes that would have been worse after 2019. It is tough, naming shows I have been in production meetings where the whiteboard is blank and waiting. 
     

    Redemption is the only word, that I kept coming up with. 
     

    Won’t matter in 10 days hopefully, some may even call it inspired!!

    It was meant to be taken as to hell and then back there (to hell).

    I don't think ito hell and back was a shocking title anyway, if it was made in the last preseason it would be called a good title

    if we win the holy grail and not being a patron of talk back radio, the first thing I'm going to do is ring Kane Cornes and remind him of his previous comments on air, re this great insight and - dare I say it -  marketing tool.

    If only............ .  I keep hearing the melody to the Dire Straits song; "Brothers in Arms".  This is the connection that I hope exists within the playing group, which will get us the ultimate prize.

    But it wasn’t. It was made after the 2019 Season (5 wins)

    If we win the granny next weekend, MFC should create another video and call it ' To Hell and back- For Real This Time'

    It should have been called “If you’re going through hell…”

    I guess that would work better than: To Hell and Back with a Brief Stop in Purgatory.

    But in the 2020 season we come 9th, so the team was back from hell and into purgatory, also after this year there might be a another video, and it will be called to hell and back part 2, so it will all make sense

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
