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 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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
