I wish i could stop pacing around..

Dreamed of this day since the dark times of 2013 and all those posts about the light at the end of the tunnel. Well here we are.

Once more to the bridge my friends !

History beckons.

    The sun will come up in a few hours, just like it always does, but truly this day feels different.

    Can’t sleep. Dream sequence begins and then Viney comes in with a crunching tackle and I’m wide awake. The opening 5 minutes is going to be insane.

    You inspire me to be a better drinker.

    You don't need to sleep - just skip it and you will feel naturally drunk and therefore delirious no matter what happens - surely nothing could go wrong

    Why did Gill prolong this?? :\ It's like a pregnancy that lasts 5 years :unsure:

    It only really hit me in the last few hours re-watching the QF and reading some articles. We're actually playing in a Grand Final. The last time this happened I was 13 and didn't understand just how much it meant.

    21 years later... I understand.

    Still not sure if it's really sunk in yet... I might be saying the same thing 24 hours from now.

    Don't do both at once. It can be messy.

    Have a feeling this thread will be Demonland's greatest, destined for future posterity! Read by future generations inquisitive how a random, motley group of supporters rode the bumps on the way to the 2021 flag! Best not make a spelling error or say anything controversial...

    Anyway, enjoy fellow 'landers. This year has been one hell of a ride. Pun intended. We've been nervous but ultimately calm brought upon by the fact that this team is bloody good! 

    Four quarters of good, uncompromising football will do it. Talk to you in the post match thread!

    C'mon you Mighty Demons!

    There's only been a few games this year where I wasn't a nervous wreck... both previous finals.

    Maybe it was a coping mechanism, my MFCSS-scarred brain anticipating disappointment like in 2018.

    ...but we won. Twice. Could this be the real deal, at last?

    I feel eerily calm right. I'm not sure if the nerves have finally settled, or if it's the beer talking. I expect I'll be a nervous wreck in the morning.

    I'm so proud of what the team has achieved this year, it's beyond anything I expected. I just hope they leave nothing in the tank tomorrow.

    Wear the colours proud, boys!

    Point bum at toilet, mouth at ground. Not the other way around. Definitely don’t get caught transitioning in between. Ideally have a bucket on the floor. Had a bit of gastro in my time.

    4:15am here. We’re already talking bodily function in the first ever Demonland GF Match Day thread. This is going to be a LONG day.

    Remember when sleeping was a thing?

    Yep I just woke from a dream sequence of two Dees goals. First was a coast to coast that was just shear will power of keeping it moving forward and pressure in the forward 50 ending with Kozzie getting the finishing touch. Then the second was to TMac after a brilliant run from Max draws a player so Tommy gets it out the back and snaps the goal. That was enough to wake me up. 

    I honestly don’t know if I'm going to sleep much more tonight.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
