Wrote a little ode to our Demons, to channel some of my nervous energy toward something...
We are the Demons.
We are the 12-premiership fallen behemoth, the sleeping giant and at one time the most famous sporting club in the land. We wrote the rules and are the keeper of the game, 163 years strong and counting.
We are the team of 18-goal-in-a-game Fred Fanning, of 10 premiership Norm Smith with his name on the Medal. We are the team of Ronald Dale.
We are the team of war heroes, more fallen wearing the red and blue than any other team in league history.
We are strong, proud, resilient and fiercely, fire-breathingly loyal.
We are Melbourne. We are the Redlegs, and we are here to reclaim our rightful place.
We’ll fight, tackle hard, kick truly and make the game ours.
The Era of the Demon is here.
