TWEETS

 

- I’ve quoted here and screengrabbed the visual ones in case the MFC outlasts Twitter—at one point that seemed much less likely!

“They actually robbed Eliza West in broad daylight.” – Demonland

 

“Demons first VFL / AFL premiership

def Lions by 4 points in GF (1990)

Demons first AFLW premiership

def lions by 4 pts in GF (2022)” – Joshua Kay

 

“Melbourne wins its first Grand Final by four points. The Demons have not conceded a final quarter goal since round 4 v Brisbane” – Gemma Bastiani

 

“After 64 AFLW matches, Melbourne has won its first premiership!

Karen Paxman has played in every one of those games! She’s been through it all!” – Melbourne Footy

“Libby Birch the first AFLW player to win a flag at two different clubs” – Gemma Bastiani

 

“Sinead Goldrick the first person to win an AFL Premiership and an All Ireland final.” – Andy Feeney (Have not fact-checked, but pretty sure this refers to AFLW Premiership and Ladies’ All Ireland Final)

Oh yeah for sure, I just meant that I'm sure there's someone who has won a men's AFL premiership & men's All Ireland. Tadhg Kennelly?

Beside the point I know, but I always thought it strange that Tadhg Kennelly pronounces his name “Tie” 🤔 

I have a nephew named Tadhg but his is pronounced “Tay-dee” which is the usual pronunciation.

Mark O'Connor almost achieved it this year (gag!...) after a BOG in an All Ireland Minor Final win for Kerry. The minor final is the curtainraiser for the major final.

Do you have any nieces named 'May-eve' or 'Sin-ed' WCW? 🤔😉

Watching them celebrate the past week has almost been as enjoyable as watching them play.

Well done to the club, too, for all the content - the pics and videos have been awesome.

I love the fact that “Demon Spirit” came to be the umbrella term for everything required to win the premiership, from the selflessness to the camaraderie, to the attack on the footy and more.

A social media hashtag that became a creed for the team.

Best ever!

Loved it, some real honest insight from the players. Especially enjoyed Tayla describing her “first ever” goal celebration! And Mick - so much emotion for his players.

    BACK TO BASE CAMP by Meggs

    Congratulations to the Brisbane Lions.   Undefeated in all 6 matches against the top teams (North Melbourne, Adelaide, Geelong, and Melbourne). They are worthy winners of the 2023 AFLW premiership.   Our ambition for a Season 8 back-to-back premiership was derailed.   In round 6 Adelaide spilled the beans on the template to outplay us. From there news spread fast to other top teams who applied similar intense physical pressure at the source which crushed our gameplan to execute vi

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.
