    88 Prelim.

    Garry Lyon Torp that went 80 metres.

    Pissing down with rain, cold and 5th row from the fence and didn't care.

    Got soaked that day. But it was well worth it. 
    12 months earlier was traumatic and still leaves a bad taste today…

    But last September certainly makes a huge difference!!

    Every time I see Nick McCallum (or Clint Stanaway) on the news I wonder if he’s still feelin’ it. Then I think, Of course he is! It’s the Demons!!! 😁❤️💙

    Friends, one thing I have noticed since that immortal night of 25th of September is how much more magnanimous i am towards other clubs and their triumphs. There was once a time when I could not watch Collingwood in the 90GF, or the Handbaggers in 2007 or the Western Bulldogs in 2016 - I was so envious and jealous. Now, I can settle down with You Tube and appreciate their victories for what they are worth - something, yes, something in the scheme of things -, even if none of them approach our canonical 38 seconds or whatever it is.

    Waking down the bay the other day and a kid ran past me with a demons hat on, too quick to give him the Go Dees, but he ran past me when he was going back and this time I did and he gave the Go Dees back and had the biggest smile on his face.

    It was a look of pure joy and I'm so glad that our young supporters are able to smile about their team and not just live in hope like most of us have.

    Will NOT let this thread slip into obscurity. At least not until round one. 
    I was thinking about the whole club culture thing and I remembered something I wanted to share on here. 
    At the GF replay on December 5th after proceedings had wrapped up I got talking to a lovely couple. They told me how they emigrated from England about 20 years ago and at the insistence of friends they became Essendon supporters. 
    They were both decked out head to toe in Demons regalia. I asked them what made them change allegiance and they told me it was when their son started working at the Club. Turns out they’re the parents of Oliver Herd, MFC Footy Analyst. I asked them if he was happy working for the Club and they couldn’t have been more glowing in their praise. They said Oliver absolutely loves his job, and everyone he works with and it’s an awesome environment in which to work. His mum was so proud when she pointed to the coach’s box and said, “he gets to sit up there with the coaches!” She also told me the players are all really nice to him. He even sometimes hangs out with Tracc and Salo socially. He must  like the Christian name Christian. See what I did there?😁

    To answer Tim’s question: yes, LitD did have something to do last Wednesday. It’s not that he forgot about it; he jumped the gun and did it on Tuesday.

    I wish they'd put the FoxFooty post match back on Kayo. 

    They were still in shock after the onslaught. Very watchable.

    One of the fantastic things about the Demons awesome flag victory is no matter what happens during the day since Sept 25, I’m only  3 mins 30 seconds from being deliriously happy again, that snapshot of our 7 goals in the third is just pure joy:

    Harmes to Fritsch

    then Fritsch

    Followed by BBB

    Brayshaw (unbelievable courage)

    Trac - pure skill

    Sparrow - - great goal of a step in a phone booth

    Clarry / Jacko handball perfection

    I’m not sure if we will ever see a better trio of goals, than the last three in 30 plus seconds to finish the quarter!

    Sept 25 to now - everyday has a happy ending 😃

    The youngsters in JB, LJ and TS were incredible. The occasion didnt intimidate them.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
