Hilarious! 🤣😂 Would of included Dermott Brereton, Jack Dyer (if he was still alive) and Paul Chapman if we were also focusing on genuine Melbourne haters. From the interviews he did I don't think Jack Dyer ever got over losing the 1940 Grand Final to the Demons.

That truly warms the heart! Wonderful to see all those faces of joy and big smiles from former Demons players. Love the fact that the players and past officials have their families there with Neale Daniher. Fingers crossed the 2021 Premiership Cup gets to visit Nathan Jones and his family next. 🤞

Exactly! Up until 1964 were one of the top teams in regards to Premierships won with our 12. With only Collingwood ahead with 13 and Essendon on 11 (then 12 in 1965). Carlton only had 8 Premierships at the time! Now being equal with Richmond and Hawthorn in regards to Premierships won and hopefully having a good enough team to win MORE Premierships means we can start to rival Collingwood with their 15 and Essendon and Carlton with their 16. Here's hoping for a new era of Premiership success at the Melbourne Demons!

A bit embarrassing for Gold Coast to have the Kangaroos poach Hugh Greenwood from them! Oh well....I can't say I have much sympathy for the Gold Coast Perhaps it will give former Demon Aaron vandenBerg a chance of getting picked up by the Suns?

Good point. I probably said Jayden Hunt because it is those players beyond our Premiership team of 22 players that need to be banging down the door of the selectors for Season 2022. The more competition for spots in the final 22 senior side next year the more likely we will improve to hopefully win back-to-back Flags.

I apologise for bringing up such a negative topic. I guess I am still very angry at Brock McLean. He used to be one of my favourite players at the Demons. The whole situation was disastrous for our Club. It was such a horrible time for the Club and all of us as passionate Melbourne Demons members and supporters. In the end, there will always be those who have unpleasant "break ups" thoughout life. Whether it be personal relationships or work or whatever. The positive is that it is all in the past now. Some can forgive and forget and some cannot. Obviously depending upon the circumstances. I definitely feel a massive burden has been lifted from us now that we have broken our Premiership drought after 57 very long years. We can now look ahead to a positive future for our beloved Melbourne Demons.

A very heart warming moment to see Neale Daniher being able to see our drought breaking Premiership Cup for the Melbourne Football Club. I am sure a few tears of joy were shed. 😭 The fact that Neale continues to hold on while MND ravages his body is an incredible inspiration. The man is a legend!

Probably an odd thing to bring up! But I would definitely be curious to know how some former players and coaches feel about the Demons finally having Premiership success in 2021? Is it a case of sour grapes? Or would they be genuinely happy for the Melbourne Demons finally ending their Premiership drought after 57 long years? I would definitely be curious to know the thoughts of Brock McLean, Mark "Jacko" Jackson, Mark Neeld, Neil Balme to name a few. Anyway, I just thought it would be interesting to see if any of them have some love left for the Melbourne Demons or they probably don't give a stuff. I saw Brian Wilson and Jack Watts were genuinely happy for our success. That was very heart warming to see! Either way, we are long last, after waiting so long since 1964, the reigning AFL Premiers!

Sam Weideman is the most obvious. Then probably Jayden Hunt and Adam Tomlinson. I am most excited about seeing what Bailey Laurie can do due to his footballing talent. However, time is on his side.

Looking forward to seeing what Bailey Laurie produces in Season 2022. His draft year highlights package is impressive. Here it is shown below:

After 57 years of pain and misery we deserve a bit of happiness and joy. We were a laughing stock for many years with regular wooden spoons "won", humiliating defeats (190 point loss to Fitzroy and 186 point loss to Geelong) and we almost merged in 1996 with Hawthorn. Now finally....we are 2021 Premiers! At times I never thought it would ever happen in my life time...but it finally did! I think the next aim is to win a Premiership at the MCG. When you are in a Premiership window you need to make the most of it. Then let's go all out and overtake Essendon and Carlton with their 16 Premierships. However, the most important thing is that we NEVER allow a Premiership drought of 57 years to happen ever again! We are well overdue for sustained success and the more Premierships we see in the future the better! Time for a new Demons dynasty! GO DEMONS!!!

I'm looking forward to having a Woewodin at the Melbourne Demons again!

I have a close eye on.... Josh Rentsch GWV Rebels, NAB League / Penshurst FC / Ballarat Grammar State: Victoria (Country) Height: 197cm Weight: 100kg Date of Birth: 14/09/03 Apparently was joint winner of the Morrish Medal. Could be also be available for our 2nd or 3rd pick perhaps?

I think that the top 10 picks are pretty much set for the 2021 AFL National Draft. I have come to the conclusion that I will be happy with any highly talented player within the top 20 to top 25. If we somehow fluke a player from within the top 15 then we should all be very pleased. We should all have faith in Jason Taylor getting the job done!

I understand and I am overjoyed that the Melbourne Demons are 2021 AFL Premiers. However, this matter of a home base for our administration and training is still lingering. Hopefully, we can have some more news at the upcoming Annual General Meeting in regards to the progress of our home base? We cannot rest until this matter is finally rectified.

Fingers crossed this event is still happening? 🤞 I reckon we could basically fill the MCG with Melbourne supporters. Then we could have a party-like atmosphere while we watch replay of the Grand Final and have player medal presentations and various speeches. Get lots of past players involved and make it a huge celebration. Have lots of singing of "Its a Grand Old Flag" as well as dancing too. The main thing I am hopeful of is getting a photo of my Dad and I both holding the 2021 Premiership Cup! That will be an incredible experience. Just gotta hope I don't turn into a blubbering mess when I burst into tears of joy! 😭

It will definitely be interesting to see how we can improve next year. I am mindful that there will be a lot of hungry players wanting more Premiership success. Breaking into the final 22 will be a challenge for those on the periphery. After 57 years of pain and now ending the Premiership drought I think it is time for a flood of Premierships! In 15 years time if we can have bragging rights over the vile scum at Essendon and Carlton with their 16 Premierships then I will certainly be very happy! GO DEMONS!!!

It's still very surreal for me. I can't believe our beloved Melbourne Demons won the 2021 Premiership! After all the years of pain and suffering, since 1964, we finally obtained Premiership glory and broke the drought! This moment will remain one of the happiest in my entire life! GO DEMONS!!!

I am happy to drive with my Dad almost anywhere to get a photo of myself and him holding up the Melbourne Football Club's 13th Premiership Cup. All I ask is that hopefully we can temporarily take off our masks when getting a photo? If that is allowable? It will also be quite difficult to see with the amount of tears of joy in my eyes. This is definitely a memory worth taking a photo of. I just hope I am not too much of a blubbering mess. 😭We have all ridden the ups and downs of almost merging, disappointment, humiliating defeats and frustrating seasons. However, this event has been 57 years in the making! Our first flag since 1964! Now is the time to celebrate our Premiership triumph! GO DEMONS!!!

Walked past the AFL Store and saw this "Deemolition" t-shirt in the window and couldn't resist buying it! Here is an image of what the t-shirt looks like: I love the 1990's retro Demons mascot image. It brings back a lot of fond memories growing up. I used to have the exact same 1990's retro Demons mascot image on a jumper/sweater that I wore as a kid. 😁 GO DEMONS!!!

I'm still keen on Josh Sinn with pick #17 in the 2021 AFL National Draft. Here is his highlights package shown below. However, until it is closer to the Draft at the end of November I really won't know who we will look to pick. Either way, I have faith in Jason Taylor finding another gem for the Demons.

Hahahahaha! Good idea! I probably should! Just not while working! 😂 I just think Mark "Choco" Williams is fantastic. I cannot sing his praises high enough. I was absolutely over the moon when we recruited him as head of our development at the end of last year in 2020. Some people thought he was mad, and maybe he is a little bit, but we have won our first Premiership since 1964 and I believe he had a massively positive influence on our players and it is worth crowing about!

I am willing to pay $20 or even $30 per person to enter the MCG for this Melbourne Demons Premiership celebration event. I am also willing to pay (within reason) to have a photo of me and my Dad holding the 2021 Premiership Cup. That will be an extra special photo and I will probably be crying tears of joy a bit for that photo. 🥲 As long as it is a great spectacle with lots of merchandising and food and entertainment then I can see it as a clever way for the Melbourne Football Club to make quite a bit of profit. After losing money from not having the Northern Territory game at Alice Springs and the Queen's Birthday game at the MCG I think it is paramount that the Melbourne Football Club hosts this event at the MCG and we have as many Demons supporters as possible attend.

I remember that! He was just taking it all in his stride. Everyone jumping around excited and Mark "Choco" Williams was just there with his hands in his jacket pockets chewing his gum. 😁 Mark "Choco" Williams has been absolutely incredible for the Melbourne Football Club. Besides getting Adem "The Difference" Yze as midfield coach I cannot recall one individual having such a profound impact at the Melbourne Football Club as Mark "Choco" Williams has had. I am still hopeful we can get Mark "Choco" Williams on the @Demonland podcast in a few weeks time when Pre-Season training starts? Fingers crossed. 🤞

Absolutely! We MUST re-sign Mark "Choco" Williams! The man is a bit eccentric but he is also a football genius! Plus he knows what it takes to win! I believe he was instrumental in helping the Melbourne Demons win the Premiership this year. I would personally give Mark "Choco" Williams a continuous contract and let him stay with the Melbourne Demons up until when he wants to retire. At the very least I would love to see Mark "Choco" Williams at the Melbourne Demons for another 5 years. He has been recruit of the year for us!
