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.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
