Update for Demon Wiki website?

I just wanted to say I think Demon Wiki is a fantastic website!

I am a bit of a Melbourne Demons history buff and I love it.

Here is the link for those who don't know what I am talking about: http://demonwiki.org/Home

I look forward to seeing it updated to include our most recent Premiership success now that we are 2021 Premiers!

The significance of the Melbourne Demons winning the 2021 Premiership has not been lost on me.

The Demons were hopeless for many years. We "won" 7 wooden spoons since 1964. We nearly got merged with Hawthorn, Fitzroy, North Melbourne and Richmond. We nearly went bankrupt if it wasn't for Jimmy Stynes' "Debt Demolition" campaign. The fact that we survived 57 years of pain is absolutely remarkable.

I admit I did shed a few tears of joy on Saturday evening. But not as many as I expected due to our utter thrashing of the Bulldogs.

Our club has seen so much tragedy. The loss of Robbie Flower, Jimmy Stynes, Sean Wight and Dean Bailey to cancer. Troy Broadbridge in the Boxing Day Tsunami. Colin Sylvia in a car accident. Then you have Neale Daniher's struggle against MND.

Then you have Norm Smith's curse which has finally been lifted!

The 2021 Premiership means so much to so many Melbourne people.

I think I will probably cry more if we are lucky enough to win the Premiership again but this time at our ancestral home the MCG. Anyway, we shall wait and see for season 2022 and beyond.

The best thing about winning the flag in 2021 is now knowing that the Melbourne Football Club now has a bright future.

GO DEMONS!!!
