Have we beaten anyone yet? I'm not crying, we're all crying. This is for Neale, Jim, Robbie, Jonesy, Dean, Ron 😍 We have waited so long. And finally. After 57 long years. We have broken

I might be a little discombobulated after the epic celebrations in our house. But, I could have sworn, with 5 minutes to go the commentators showed a a tally of the most possessions in a grand final. It has Tracc on 39, equal to Simon Black. I then saw Tracc handball to a teammate and I assumed he had claimed the record. Looking on the stats sheets he is attributed with only 39. Very strange. Also, Gawny’s goal, WtF? Viewed from behind the goals, it was unquestionably the wrong outcome. Also, the umpiring was absolutely appalling. 
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest so I can enjoy the win in its entirety. In 40 plus years of supporting this wonderful bloody team I’ve realised, I’ve never known this feeling. We are the champions. The anxiety of supporting a team that never wins the big dance is lifted and a contentness has settled. It’s most pleasant.

I came to Melbourne in early 1965 from England. On the boat over I experienced my first game of Australian Rules football with a film about the 1964 premiership winning team Melbourne. After my arrival I was taken to a game between Richmond and Melbourne by my brother who was a Melbourne supporter at that time.  I have supported the Demons from this day to this and never thought this day would ever occur. Hallelujah l can now die in peace.

Can't believe the turn around. Was feeling very sullen during the second quarter and was terrible company for my partner who had jumped on the bandwagon in support.

That second half... Speechless. All I could do was stare in disbelief as we slammed on goal after goal. Don't think i was any better company as I was glued to the TV in a somewhat dissociative state. 

I only wish I could have been there to share in the passion and joy of thousands of fans that have been through the pain and suffering that only demons fans would know. But demonland has done a damn good job at bringing us all together, particular through the toughest of recent times.

Thank you @Demonland and everyone else associated in running this site.

We deserve this.

I’ve just started watching the replay, it’s possible I won’t sleep tonight. I would’ve preferred to just watch the second half I guess this will do. I’m still just so happy. 

Congrats to Trac, well deserved Norm Smith. 

Fritta, simply amazing. 

Jackson, this may seem OTT but I thought him taking primary ruck duties in the third quarter changed the game. He is something special. 

Salem, brilliant and cool as ever. 

Max, captain my captain. So much love. 

I could go through the whole list but I’m just going to sit back and enjoy it. What I will say is thanks to this club for bringing it home, would’ve been special to be there but they did it for us. The Perth crowd were fantastic, thanks to everyone there. Some time in the future we will all be together to celebrate this properly, but for now I will just enjoy watching the replay and once again say thank you to everyone.

Finally my 2 sons (25 and 22) have officially forgiven me for making them support Melbourne.

It was a battle during the Neeld years and only the lure of impending MCC membership kept them on board.

But we've got them for ever now.

Did I actually see that or was it the sweetest dream ever? 

i have finally forgiven my dad.... and i'm 41

We did it!!!! I can say this objectively (hiccup) that we were the best premiership team in recent memory. Any time we got challenged, we stood up. What a great team, what a great coaching staff. What fantastic supporters.

I love demonland, I love you all!!!!!!! Best feeling ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
