    not many our supporters are probably the most silent in the AFL to be honest. Farmer's mark in 1998 against Richmond would be up there along with the one in 1998 Prelim Against North which we lost.... also the general atmosphere of the Prelim in 2000 where we probably played our best game of footy i have ever seen (how good were Powell, and Farmer towelling Pickett that night) and also the Adelaide 2002 Semi were ones that made me get chills....

    For me it was the roar at the half time siren of the 1987 elimination final, followed closely by the one after the National Anthem before the game.

    Powerful stuff.

    Nothing has come close since.

    GO DEES

    WE TEND TO 'CLAP' MUCH MORE THAN ROAR...

    Maybe the majority of our supporters are overly introverted without realising & the feedback the players onfield recieve from crowd response helps to instill a lack of extravertism.

    When I was a kid back in the late 80s early 90s, a roar on the back flank would always go up when Rodney grinter smacked some poor sods teeth out behind play.

    I loved grinter, he has harder than a male pornstars......

    In the final against the Saints last year - Davey comes back on after the Baker free and 50, grabs the ball out of nowhere, takes a bounce or two on the boundary line and delivers it to Neitz in the goal square. When Neitz takes that mark, the crowd Roars. That goal puts us in front I believe. Watch the replay of that 4th quarter on Bigpond if you can, it's worth it just for that moment.

    Considering how depressing football is at the moment, three cheers for this thread.

    I'll add in the roar when we hit the front against the Crows in the 2002 final. Spine-chilling. Unfortunately, there was a 4th quarter to that game.

    In that 02 SF, the roar when Yze goaled from the forward pocket, 60s after Vardy had done from the same spot, and the standing ovation Clint Bizzell got for his spoil on Mark Stevens, soccer off the ground, chase and dive at the loose ball and then diving tackle on Stenglein, creating the loose ball for Armstrong and then Yze.

    • 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.

    • 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.
