I haven't cried yet, but I reckon when the noise dies down and the family goes to bed, a few tears might fall over a wee Glenfiddich. I have waited so long and feel so calm and happy.

    Seriously thought this day would never come. Halfway through the 3rd I was already preparing for the loss. But then Caleb Daniel threw Gawn to the astro turf and the Demons were unleashed. The rest is history!

    I am so so pleased that Max on live tv mentioned the names of Dean Bailey, Sean Wight, Colin Syliva and Troy Broadbridge in particular as a way to honor them, their contribution to the fabric of their club and their remaining families.

    Only just stopped crying. Started in the third quarter.

    I love every single one of you, Demonland. You’ve kept me sane and entertained and informed for a good couple of decades.

    I'm thinking of neita, the ox, the whiz Jeff white, Todd Viney & many others.  Neale daniher even though he is a former coach, Jimmy & Sean wights family, Robbie flowers kids, Troy's family, Colin's family & others we lost.

    I arrived in Australia in 1991. I fell in love with the local religion, football. I barracked for the Demons because of fellow Irishmen, Jim Stynes and Sean Wight. I went to games with Irish mates who also barrack for the Demons. The club is like family for a fella who is a long way from home. After everything that has happened in the last 30 years, this is a great day. We miss Jimmy and Sean. They would be so proud today. I am proud to be a Melbourne member. We have a great club that we can all be proud of. I can’t wait to do more screaming at the ‘G! See you there! I love yee all.

    What a win. What a season. So much sweeter that they challenged us and we smacked them off the park. So sweet.

    Forty nine years a Demons supporter.

    I can't believe it.

    I can't believe this has happened.

    Not ashamed at all to say I cried after the final siren.

    We've been through so much here on Demonland, as all Melbourne supporters have. To finally do it, is just unreal.

    A quick shout out to @Wiseblood, who I hope still kicks around here, as well as @Rogue and @45HG, two of the posters who were constants on here during the terrible eras. Hope you guys are lapping this up wherever you are now.

    GO YOU MIGHTY DEMONS!!!!

    Yes, a bad move by Daniel! He looked like he meant it, too.

    The analysis will come (there is so much reading and re-watching to come), but I'm coming around to the thought now that when all is said and done, the 2021 Melbourne season will go down as one of the greatest seasons of AFL football in recent memory.

    Only 4 losses, blowing three of the next four best sides in it off the park in our finals, and doing it all through a pandemic away from home.

    Dad and me have done nothing but hug and cry. Seriously this is one of the most emotional moments of my life. Thank you so much demons. Will never ever forget what you did for us today. 
    I’ll never have kids and doubt I’ll marry, so this is the best moment of my life. And to enjoy my brothers joy together on Skype. Unbelievable.

    More than happy to wear sailor moon buns for a week at work. Don’t worry expect photos btw. 😉

    What a great feeling to win a premiership after 57 years. Well done to all the supporters who stayed loyal in the bad years. CARN THE DEMONS.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
