International Demons
Was going to put this in London Demons group. Mods, maybe merge? The Deeaspora is up and about. Those of us around the world surely feel for all the Melbourne based crew, not being able to go watch the GF at the G. But also, welcome to our world. Fortunately, we all live in an amazing time in which we can connect, cheer and, hopefully, fall into flabbergasted heaps of joyous rapture wherever we are, together. If anybody is in the Netherlands and wants to go through this with fellow tragics, send me a PM. Similarly, wherever you are in the world, use this thread to connect with other Dees fans. [censored] i am so excited, nervous, but also quite sure that this is it, and we are all in this together. Go the Demons and love to my Dad who lives in the US and who peruses these boards. This is what all those rainy, ****ty days at the G watching us getting belted were for.

Brownlow Medal 2021
What an absolute joke Edit: the votes from game against Adelaide. O Wines should win and that's fine by me

What would a premiership mean to you?
Yea at its basic level this is exactly how I've always seen it. Though, never heard it put it as beautifully as you did there chook

Thanks Jonesy - Retirement
This bloke has always done best by our club. Right to the very end. It has dragged us back from mediocrity and meaninglessness. Thank you Jonesy

PODCAST: PF 2021 vs Geelong
Andy, if we win, is there any chance of a spontaneous, live Demonland streaming after the match so we can all call in and make blubbering, joyous proclamations about our love of everything?

GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
I am failing to get anything productive done at the moment. How long to go? The time difference is too perfect. Wake up, check all the content thats already gone up in Aus, sit on demonland dreaming, suddenly it's the afternoon and another day has gone. Really need to get work done today. I'm gonna do it. Ooh just saw that Gus & Gawny starts in 3 minutes.

GRAND FINAL: Melbourne vs Western Bulldogs
Yep, here

Grand Final Day - What will you do?
Not embarrassing at all. "Bawling my eyes out if we win" is a dead-set certainty

Grand Final Day - What will you do?
Been trying to decide. We are not in any lockdown over here. Options are: Coco's, a travesty of an Australian bar that once went through the entire hottest 100 until number 2, and then turned it off because 'we need to make a party'. Hotbed of band-wagony filth and Essendon supporters. Drover's Dog, a more upscale Australian restaurant bar, but run by Sydneysiders who couldn't give a [censored] and likely to be told not to make so much noise. Mate's house on the big screen. Successful option taken for both finals so far. Contained in a box of nervous energy, with homemade meat pies and a [censored] tonne of beer. Likely option. Meanwhile, have two weeks to choose which local statue of a Dutch notable is going to get a Dees scarf around 'em.

Double down on the Demon delirium?

POSTGAME: PF vs Geelong
Most amazing day of my life. Celebrated hard, Demonfolk. @AmsterdamDeesFan and I took to the canals of Amsterdam and made sure everyone could get familiar with the lyrics of the song in prep for the Granny in two weeks. Need fifteen hours of sleep before I watch the replay for the third time. One more win! Go you beautiful, magnificent Demons

From East to West - We are with You
You build up a lot of karma points being a Demon in WA. Hopefully what is coming, what you all might get to enjoy, is redemption for every smug look of pity and off-hand comments each of you has ever endured.

Farewell Josh Mahoney
I have been quietly thankful to Josh Mahoney during the course of this wonderful season. He did a lot of hard yards in bygone years from which we are now reaping the benefits. Hope he gets the AFL gig. Seriously capable fella.

FINALS: QF vs Brisbane
What amazing times. It aināt easy being a Dees supporter in WA and, I imagine, SA. Stoked that those of you among us get this kind of opportunity and there is no doubt that you will do the job for the lot of us.

POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
Only just got a chance to watch First Crack. Either he is being given contentious lines to say by a producer or he is doing lines of something out the back.

POSTGAME: Rd 23 vs Geelong
What a day yesterday, you bloody beautiful MFC faithful! A lifetime of Kardinia trauma was unexpectedly treated in the space of 34 minutes. After collecting myself from the blubbering mess I had been reduced to, I then spent chunks of the day intricately explaining the magnitude of the moment to scores of baffled Italians, Germans and Canadians who were paying me to hear about Dutch history but instead were regaled with tales of the historic warriors called Max Gawn and Clayton Oliver. Found myself riding through West Amsterdam at 5am belting out Grand Old Flag in the rain. A day for the ages. I [censored] love you all and I [censored] love this football team.

COVID & AFL 2021
Quite right. Fortunately, that is not the point or aim of the EU ?. Sorry to everyone who is having to go back into lockdown. It truly, truly sucks.

COVID & AFL 2021
In the last two weeks I have been in Hungary, Germany and the Netherlands. They are all at different stages in their different responses to the pandemic. Not a single country has had the same approach as another. Even here in NL, things were starting to ramp up again, they opened clubs and now thereās massive spread through the young adult demographic. Soon we will be dark red on the ācountries that are [censored] with corona mapā. So itās different everywhere.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs GWS
Yea it might happen, but it might not. We smashed Brisbane and the Dogs. Reality is, that is the same team that has lost to two bottom of the table teams and one other team in the eight. Gotta love it, anything can happen and Iād rather be here than in the position of any of those other teams, who are all chasing us.
