Melbourne Premiership

Recommended Posts

I was watching a sports show on ABC this morning - The Offsiders - and a comment was made on club culture directly impacting on and reflecting through players and supporters alike. A concrete example given was the way a premiership win is celebrated by certain clubs/players/supporters vs others. For example it was proposed that Hawthorn players, officials and supporters celebrated in a sportsman like and professsional manner as oppossed to the boorish way West Coast celebrated their during the Judd/Cousins era. My question is; given the looooong drought between MFC premierships - how would you celebrate a premiership win?

Hard to tell...

If you had asked me 20 years ago I would have said party all night ;) .....

.... but nowadays I would do things a little differently :lol: .....

... and when WE DO ACTUALLY WIN ONE (which could be a long way off yet) I might just roll the wheelchair out into the foyer and fart the 'Grand Old Flag' to make all the old 'biddies' blush. ;)

DON'T GET AHEAD OF YOURSELF. (i.e. Dream in private please) :angry:

Go Dees - Building for the Future

I don't know exactly how I'd celebrate it, but no doubt I'll end up hungover in a gutter somewhere :D

Edit: A pact made a long long time ago with a fellow Melbourne supporter also means that I'd end up with a tattoo.... hopefully I'll be sober while choosing the design, size and location of said tattoo.

In absolute astonishment....

After I finish crying like a little girl in front of my son, I would hug everyone within arms reach and tell them how much I loved them and how important it was to me that they shared this day with me (note 'vomit here'). Following that I would head into the afterparty and hit the booze with as many Dees fans as possible (note ' vomit again'). Then straight to Crown where I would argue profusely with the croupier on the Roulette table to change the black numbers to blue and then whack $1000 on red (note 'vomit'). From there I would catch a cab home and stumble to the garden (vomit) then watch the replay 3 or 4 hundred times! I'd wing it from there, I think you get the picture.

and the wording!

I was always thinking of getting the old-school MFC intertwined logo on my ankle. Simple and not too over the top.

However depending on the length and strength of the celebration, I may end up with 'Brock is my captain' tattooed across my chest, and that would be very bad! :unsure::o

LOL. Just as long as it's not, 'Such as Life"......you might be interpreted as a Eagles or Tiger supporter.

How would I celebrate? Well, I wouldn't be at work for a week either. After attending all the celebrations possible with other fellow mfc supporters - wherever that might be (ie Bubbledome, the 'G', the Junction or Casey fields), I'd watch it again and again with copious amounts of fluid intake, the amber kind - followed by a bottle or two of red or a bourbon or two. Just to let it all sink-in that we won it! So I can re-live it.

Then, the following week might have to mirror the first. It's also fair to say I'd be too intoxicated to communicate on this forum during this period. :lol:

This about sums it up for me, I'd probably hit the [censored] for the first time in 16 years, if I survived the actual game itself without having a heart attack or mental breakdown.

I remember a friend's Father having an official MFC can of Beer (can of Beer in MFC colours and logo), that must be now about 30 - 40 yrs old that he was saving for a Premiership. Anyone got similar items or plans they have been saving for a premiership?

I have often Played this over in my head, I Hope i get to watch the game with my dad at the 'G.

2 Weeks off work-Sick leave!

After the game to wherever the celebrations are, drink & sing with as many demon supporters as i can hug, from there well who knows but i would enjoy myself like a child.

Maybe a Tatt with the words "sieze the Day"

It would be Memorable

Oh & ring my Brother-He is a Saint Supporter.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full
