Had a read of their game day thread.
Enjoyed their shock and despair when when we went on the rampage in the 3rd.
They were daring to dream and Nek Minut .... It was over.
Poor fools.

I normally love basking in the schadenfreude of other supporters losing their minds at their team’s performance, but I think in this case I just want to enjoy the win and leave them in peace. Doesn’t feel right this time around.

    I dunno. I mean they were clearly better than us. But we didn’t put up a fight or any effort. We let them do what they wanted. But then apparently Geelong did too so maybe they’re simply too good. I dunno it feels like a decent team would just put a stop to the ease of their clearances. But it never happened.

    Who is this Tex again. Oh I remember he is the guy that has been suspended from the game.

    I just watched the 2nd quarter. The bulldogs are a team of fighters, but they really have a make do backline and only Naughton forward of the ball. Their midfield is their strength.

    Their game plan reminds me of under 12’s, and that second quarter proved it. Wait for the best player to get forward of the ball, and then kick it to him. Bont is a star, but they ask a massive amount of him. If he’s not dominating they look a 5-8 team.

    I admire their endeavour though. They are a pretty honest team in terms of effort.

    A few salty ones on there, and apparently the team singing after the game is a ‘slap in the face’ as they were singing the same song as the dogs?? 

    Ah well.

    I love how so many on Demonland whinged about the commentary being biased against the Dees, and the Dogs supporters were saying exactly the same, except they call it out as being biased against the Dogs.

    I think their comments are pretty balanced overall other than a few posters getting very riled up because we played the same post game song they did after the Port game. They reckon it was disrespectful or something. They need to chill

    Oh, what was the song? Can't two teams like the same song?

    It was nice to read the positive comments of our win. Especially about Pettracca being the most worthy Norm Smith medalist ever and we are the best team of the season. Poor Tom English coped a fair bit of heat though.

    No idea. First i heard of it was reading through their thread

    I love these threads but be humble guys we know what it feels like to be thumped in a grand final. 

    We mercifully knew by quater time in both ours.

    They thought they were going to win early in the third until we played the best half of football in grand final history.

    When you smash a team by 12 goals you can do what ever you like, they should be ashamed how their team gave up in the last quarter, it  was Carlton like.

    The difference is they played it after beating port, and  partied like they won the Grand final, we waited until 11pm last night to party

    I may have double-standards (at least I have some) in that I'd rip into Cats, Hawks, Pies & Bombers supporters. However would not want to ridicule/humiliate Bulldogs supporters.

    And for clarification - Roger the Demon Dog was a pre-game omen, not post-game ridicule.

    I always like reading the oppo take on the preview or post moretem.  However, I think this is not the time to gloat - we smashed these poor bastards into the dirt, they are in enough pain already.  We have been there for so long, I still feel shadows of their pain.  Time to NOT be like tigers supporters, but to follow the lead of the team and be better than that.  The Doggies did well all year, and were the second best team in it.  They clearly know that now.

    Footscray had a chance, they didn't take it. On our whole play cycle this year, we had chances, and we took them.Why would you want it any other way. It was the ride of the season

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
