    These guys don't have it.

    You'll have to rely on someone unearthing a degraded 20 year-old VHS. It's possible that I have it but it's also likely that with a tape of that age the label would have fallen off.

    Hiya GUTS_N_GLORY, that was indeed a great day. I was at the Western oval that day as I'd been watching the Dees lose for years and couldn't really think we would make the finals but was excited at the possibility.

    Even after we won we had to wait on the results of another game to see if we'd make the final five. (Geel v Hawks?)

    It seemed no one left the ground at the end of the game, all waiting on the other game result.

    After what seemed a huge wait a massive cheer circled the ground and we knew then we were off to buy the long awaited Melbourne finals tickets

    You're in trouble now goodoil!

    If you'd be willing to make quite a few copies - care to charge people and forward any profits to the Demonology/Demonland 150 Club syndicate?!

    Ha... I'm trying to squeeze money out of everywhere...

    will get to work on some copies in first week of Jan. It is a DVD dub from recorded video of the ABC replay from that night, so it is not the whole game, but it is a fairly large chunk of it and a fairly large chunk of the Sydney final as well - the quality isnt wonderful as it is from an old videotape, but it is fine to watch. Hold off on request for the moment, I will put a post up once Ive burnt copies.

    Thanks for pointing out this site. Im ordering round 20, 1992 when we beat collingwood at victoria park by 9 points. Anyone know of any good matches where jakovich kicks ass? Love to try to find it on there...

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
