I was hoping they’ll have more inside footage of like the addresses at half time or Gawn out on the field in the huddle at 3/4 time. 
It was a bit same same. Lucky I love watching us win flags. 
An easy watch. Would watch us win again. 10/10.

    So bloody cut at Foxtel right now. Out of the house so planned to watch on Foxtel GO using my account. Didn't finish working until 9:30. Turned it on and....and the bloody app doesn't let you watch more than 30 minutes earlier. So i can't watch from the start. I swear, the logic of some of these apps is bizarre. 

    Guess I have to wait until it's on demand.

    Well that was an hour and a half very well spent.

    Also, how alike do Todd and Jack look?

    What a doco and what crap times this club has been through. All that pain to finally get there. I only got to sit through it for 28 years, I couldn’t imagine 57 years of it. Dees fans are one of a kind.

    see you all round one!!

    lets goooooo!!!!

    How bloody awesome was that. 

    As a 46 y.o rusted on Demon... the show was a recounting of my life. Was at western oval as a 12 y.o. in 87' and then at all the finals, there for 88, there through the yoyo 90s. The merger game. The 2000 run. The [censored] years and the guys who died way way too young.

    Was at Optus oval - took the 8 year old son - so glad he doesn't understand the [censored] we've had on our plate for so long.

     

    Enjoy the success now and fingers crossed for the year ahead

    Thick lump in my throat and tears in my eyes. Being a Melbourne supporter is a life sentence. Wish it went for another 2 hours. Essential viewing.

    Hahaha again my husband with his commentary throughout… “Gees Jack Viney really aged this pre season”

    The confirmation of the Viney story from his first season, when he was 18, where he let some players know they were not giving it a real effort after being pumped in our first couple of games was amazing to hear.

    Jonesy and Jetts… sad face.

    Fantastic docco!

    Hate him or love him that was a great performance by Garry Lyon. Well done to Mike Sheehan also who conducted the interviews.

    My spine tingled the whole way through to the end from the moment they started discussing the Grand Final onwards.

    I'm seriously so greedy and hungry for more finals success!

    Great doco, it’s important to tell the history so it’s clear how much this means. 

    Gawn’s legend is growing. He is the modern day charismatic selfless leader we needed. 

    the talk of preseason feeling different and the players finally buying in has me so pumped for round 1

    If we never win another flag in my lifetime, my biggest regret on my deathbed will be that I couldn’t be there to experience that joy in person.  
    I hope like hell we get to see it again live.

    Can't believe no mention whatsoever of Burgess or Taylor or Mahoney. And a one second reference of Peter Jackson. Those guys were pivotal in our rebuild and getting us to where we are today, in my opinion

    The images of the players coming off after the  “merger game” against the Hawks, the jacket Balme had on…. Makes me miss me Dad, he had the full length jacket the same as Balme and a Dees tracksuit he would wear to games.
     

    We’d walk from Fitzroy to the G and stop off at pubs on the way, I was an embarrassed 18yr old and he couldn’t give two fks.

    A bit harsh no defenders got an interview, especially as our defence won us the flag really. One of May, Lever, Sales should have been included

    That was great, I do wish Garry Lyon could stop worrying about being so biased at times and just came out and said that grand final was the most dominant quarter and half ever played in the history of the sport.

    • 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?

      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.
