GAMEDAY: Grand Final vs Western Bulldogs

At Least I Saw a Flag
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

If we win this game, I may finally accept the fact that we might actually possibly be contenders for the premiership in 2021.

 

Time to hit the sack, not sleep, and wake up to what will either the best day ever, or one filled with the familiar feeling of disappointment.

 

MFCSS IS IN OVERDRIVE.

    Slept like a log until 4am, but I didn’t sleep a wink from then on, very nervous.

    Have a great day everyone, we all deserve to enjoy it, and fingers crossed we get the job done.

    We’re already talking bodily function in the first ever Demonland GF Match Day thread.

    I don’t know why, but this has really hit home for me.

    I’ve been posting on here (mostly garbage) since 2005 and my life has changed a lot in that time but Demonland has been a constant throughout.

    While most of us are stuck in our homes it has more than been the football community we all need, so thank you @Demonlandfor giving us nuffies somewhere to vent and connect with fellow Melbourne fans.

    Thanks Demonland for making the football more enjoyable, Andy, George, & Binman for the podcast - great body of work!

    To all the rest of the fans on Demonland, may you end the day Deliriously Happy!!

    Keep this piece of play in the back of your mind from the PF, where cats were out and looked sure to kick a goal, Demons chased desperately, and rather than Cats goal, Brayshaw smothers a pressured kick over the boundary line. 
    That act of desperation when the game was over exemplifies why we win today! 57 years of joy coming up!

    GO DEMONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am off to bed over here.. don’t think I will get much sleep. 
     

    see you in the morning when I cook the pancakes for breakfast. 

    I don't understand this eery feeling of calmness. Apart from the odd flash of MFCSS inspired doubt, I'm not at all nervous. Maybe things will change as the day progresses, but right now, I think I finally trust our team.

    Go DEES!

    Butterflies in the stomach all week, think I've seen every snippet of media involving us. Today's the day we become a BIG Club again and truly get the respect our jumper deserves.

    GO DEMONS 🔴🔵

    It has been a long, long two weeks but we made it! Today’s the day long suffering Dees fans have been waiting for. Years of lurking on this forum has shown me the despair, the anger and frustration my fellow landers have been through.  Embrace the day, enjoy the ride and let’s hope the Dees [censored] smash em! Go Dees!!!

    I saw an interview yesterday where Trac said we hadn't won a premiership since 1967, which made me think. Unlike our scarred supporter base these players aren't weighed down with the baggage of the past and for the most part their knowledge of the Melbourne Football Club dates back only to the time they were drafted and placed in the hands of our fantastic football department. They are young, hungry to win and know no fear.

    After believing all year, I was having a bit of an MFCSS panic last night, because as good as we've been, on the day anything could happen.  So I re-watched the first three quarters of the Geelong PF to calm my nerves.  For the past 5 years I've wanted us to finish top 4, to set us up for a genuine crack at the big one.  And now we are here.

    Plan to setup a TV in my outdoor entertaining space to watch pre game shows etc while having a few pre game beers to calm the nerves have a bbq and then head upstairs for the big game.  Need to pace myself, because it could get kind of messy if I go too early.  NRL neighbors arn't going need to watch the game to get a score update.

    Fellow Demonlanders in the word of Goody The Great - Lets just be us (not sure how that translates to Demonland, but anyways).  Thanks for your comradery.  Strangely, over the years, I have enjoyed the ride and hope to be back here sometime tomorrow morning posting in a delirious half drunk celebratory mood.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
