Winning the premiership last Saturday was a magnificent feeling - which will last me a lifetime.. 

However, just when I thought things couldn't get any better, our daughter today has had a baby boy, giving us our first grandchild.

The only downside is that due to Covid restrictions, we cannot yet meet this future Demon mid. (but may be able to come Monday, as some of our restrictions are about to be lifted).

Life really is good 

 

 

Congratulations NC, I hope your daughter and the little man are doing well. Has he got a membership yet for next season??

Did they call him Oliver,  Christian, or Bayley?

They'd be choosing a retro name from the '64 team, in their grandad's honour wouldn't they @Neil Crompton?

Welcome to grandparentness, Neil.

Thanks ET. Both are doing good.

Membership will be a Christmas present, definitely.

Congrat's to the family. First one is always special.

 

Congratulations Grandad NC!

What a week you’ve had. Two wonderful events. I hope mum and bub are doing well. 💕


Congrats ‘Frog’.  If the young fella can play as well as your namesake, he’ll go okay!

Unfortunately, I had some of the gloss was taken off my week by a team of lowlifes. Got scammed to the tune of $9.5k, but at least I’ve been able to take my mind off the crap side of life, by watching replays on repeat.  Thanks for providing the joy Dees!

Sorry to hear that mate, do you mind if I ask what kind of scam it was that got you?

NC you are about to experience the joys of being a grand father. Over the last 2 years our GD's have keep us sane and I hope the same applies to them. Good fortune sometimes comes in small starting packages.

I love the ones that tell you your Telstra account is about to be closed. Handy as I don't have one.

Is his name down on the MCC waiting list yet?

Good point.  Is it still a 25 year wait?

These bloody scammers are everywhere. I received a call a few weeks ago from a mobile number I didn’t recognise at first, then realised it was my own number calling me. To say I was a little freaked out would be an understatement. So if you ring yourself don’t answer.

Okay.  I wasn't keen to derail this thread, but if it helps a fellow Demonlander to avoid this crap, then I'll regard it as a 'public service'.

Received a call on landline from a scumbag claiming to be part of an internal fraud team with my bank.  Said they were trying to catch an internal bank employee who was misappropriating funds. Convinced me to transfer funds to another account, so that they could apprehend the (bogus) employee 'red handed', and you can guess the rest ........ 

They had hacked my account and had all the details (including most recent transactions).  Extremely well scripted with relevant bank music and spiel when the 'phone was on hold, gave me their employee ID numbers, etc. etc.  BUT I shouldn't have been so gullible.

Beware fellow Demonlanders.

Please, please don’t say this. This is by no means due to anything you did. You were taken advantage of by a seemingly very well-organised, well-executed scam. This is 100% on them. 0% on you. 💕

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
