The Melbourne Demons: Champions or Chumps? A Deep Dive (Kind Of)
The Melbourne Demons. A team steeped in history, with passionate fans (most of the time) and a nickname so cool it practically writes its own theme song (It's a Grand Old Flag, everyone!). But when it comes to premierships, things get a little...complicated.

Demons Dominated...Once Upon a Time
Let's not beat around the bush: the Demons have a proud premiership history. 13, to be exact. That's right, 13 times they've stood atop the AFL mountain, bathed in glory, and presumably showered with celebratory pies. Their early years were particularly impressive, racking up wins in 1900 and then going on a real tear in the 40s and 50s (think five premierships in six years - talk about a dynasty!).
But Then...The Great Melbournian Maybe?
However, since that glorious era, things have been a bit more...shall we say, thin on the premiership front. There was a rather lengthy 57-year drought that ended in 2021, a premiership win so unexpected some fans probably forgot how to celebrate.
QuickTip: Stop and think when you learn something new.
Side note: Did someone order a side of heartbreak with that premiership drought? Melbourne fans are no strangers to the disappointment of a Grand Final loss (looking at you, Collingwood!).
So, How Many Demons Premierships Are There, Really?
The answer, my friend, is 13. But be warned, mentioning this to a die-hard Demons fan might lead to a lecture on that impressive early run or a tearful recount of the premiership drought.
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
